Ray

Ray helped me massively with my Politics A-level. His resources were extremely helpful and were perfectly tailored to my area for improvement. Each session was focused on my desired topic or area of the specification, with small recap tasks at the start of each session reinforcing my knowledge and improving my confidence. Ultimately, Ray helped me improve my grade and helped me secure my place at my first choice university. Ray was very friendly, supportive and motivating.

Ray was extremely supportive both in terms of content and exam technique. He gave full comprehensive helpful feedback on the homework he set and on work/essays from school using AQA mark-schemes.
He was really good at responding quickly with advice and answers for last minute queries before tests and exams.
The sessions always matched the specific requests I made beforehand.
His resources were outstanding and an enormous help in revision.
He was at all times encouraging and supportive, providing real insight but also perspective. He was very flexible with session times.

My daughter only gotten to know Ray two weeks prior to her Politics Paper 2 exam. His contribution to her higher level of understanding in US and UK politics was significant. Ray helped my daughter untangle difficult concepts, such as how a government's mandate influences its actions and the different power balances between whips and the legislative in the US compared to that in the UK. He also clarified on details of prevalent political events such as the veto process of the Scottish Gender Recognition Bill. These were all crucial towards enhancing the accuracy and conclusiveness of my daughter's essay writing.
A Big thank you to Ray for his short but impactful guidance to my daughter!

Ray took on my son fairly late in the academic year and has been helping him with his Politics A Level. The sessions have been homing in on exam skills and question focus for the AQA course. They have helped build my son's confidence and given him greater insight into tackling a range of exam questions. He has got a great deal out of the tutor sessions and liked Ray's approach. Ray has kept me fully posted on how things have progressed with regular parent updates.

A Level Goverment and politics tutoring:- Ray has supported our daughter across the whole range of her Pearson A level, including both the UK and US topics. The sessions have had a focus on content, sharpening up her exam skills and improving her confidence. To this end Ray's style has been so informative for her from a knowledge perspective, but equally Ray has truly cared about our daughter achieving the best grade that she is capable of. She really feels that he has turned her low grade expectations around to be able to push for the highest grades, Although tutoring seems expensive, Ray provides very good value for money.
From a parental perspective Ray's communication is excellent and he liaises with her and us to ensure that he meets her individual needs at each session. After each session he sends a summary to both us and separately to our daughter detailing what has been covered and what the plans are for next time, often setting work and providing useful attachments for learning and review. He is a very professional and organised tutor.
Ray is an excellent tutor and we have no hesitation in recommending for A level Government and Politics.
