Tim is working with my son studying for AS Physics, he is positive and flexible. We are pleased with how everything is going.
From Tracy
Tim is tutoring my daughter in A-Level Physics. We are only two sessions in so too early to fully comment but so far I would say "excellent". My daughter thinks Tim is a great Physics tutor (she is very quick to criticise so this is praise indeed) and has been significantly motivated at the end of the two sessions she has had so far.
From Elinor
Tim is methodical and uncritical. His patience and understanding of the subject helps the student understand and take in what is said and also be unafraid to ask questions. He has undoubtedly helped our son gain in confidence and understanding.
From Sophie
Tim came to help my 17 year old daughter with AS Level Maths. She emailed him in advance of the lesson telling him that she needed help with Trigonometry but unfortunately was not able to help her and made her very confused. We were very surprised that a Tutor did not know the answer to a past paper question. We will not be using him again.
This was an unfortunate occasion when the initial route I took with explaining an examination question concerning the many possible angles for a given value of a sine function was not successful. I spent a lot of time attempting to retrace the method and explaining the mechanics of the problem but in retrospect I feel that the student had already lost confidence. I think it would be fairer to say that I was unable to adequately explain to the student, in simple enough terms, how to arrive at the answer. It is also true to say that I did spend a large proportion of the session going through trigonometric identities and simplification. The student appeared to understand very well. I do wish her all the best for the future.
From Sally
Tim tutored my son for a year, and improved his motivation, exam answering skills and focus on the subject resulting in a grade higher than predicted. He was reliable, professional and got on well with my son. I highly recommend him.
Many thanks for the Feedback Sally. I hope Max now cruises through his new subjects and perhaps we may meet up again further down the line.
From Dan
Great tutor, really helped me out with my exam technique, and theory. Goes into plenty of detail to ensure you completely understand the subject in question.
A very good student. Dan should do very well in his chosen subject.
From Maria
Tim really helped my son just before his GCSE. Gave him some excellent tuition and boosted his confidence. Very worthwhile. Thank you so much.
Very much enjoyed helping out. Hope he does well.
From Lisa
Session arranged!
From June
Tim has been tutoring my sons in Maths and this is proving to be very useful. He is always punctual and flexible with timings which helps to fit in with their College schedules. He is very knowledgeable and his teaching techniques work for us. The best testament to his ability is feedback from his tutees; they are enjoying their sessions with Tim and feel every lesson has added to their understanding and confidence. Thank You Tim.
Thank you June!
From Freddie
My son is finding Tim very helpful with Maths exploring areas which he has found difficult in a calm, non-judgmental way. Positive feedback from a 16 year old!
From Sarah
Tim was great at building my son's confidence and helping him understand topics more clearly. Following his sessions with Tim my son has regained his enthusiasm for the subject and has decided to continue with it next year.My son enjoyed his sessions with Tim enormously and looks forward to his support next year with his A2 course.
George is a very capable student who learns quickly.
From Karen
Very helpful, and flexible with lesson timings. Within a couple of sessions Chris was definitely feeling more confident with his maths. We will be back for more!
From Toby
Reliable and great approach. Just beeds to push the lad further and perhaps signpost past papers/questions to do for homework too. A really skilled teacher
From Marion
Tim was just great. Reliable and with a relaxed but professional attitiude. Would use him again.
Thank you Marion for your comments. Please let me know if I can be of help again.

From Hilary
Kate is feeling more confident already - and enjoys your style and approach!
Thank you very much! Hilary
Kate is an excellent student who picks up and assimilates ideas quickly. She is progressing very well and I am pleased to hear that she is gaining in confidence. Confidence is her key to future learning.
