Andrew is an excellent and high experienced tutor. He is always on time, very well prepared, and can easily adapt the lesson to the requirements of the student. He has been tutoring my daughter for almost 2 years, and so far has helped her achieve in chemistry an A in IGCSEs and also in the AS Levels. I would highly recommend him
From Abdul Rahim
Was very fortunate to have found Dr. Andrew on FirstTutors.
My daughter was doing her A’ Levels and was struggling in chemistry.
At the beginning, it was very difficult to choose between Andrew and some other tutors. Via Zoom, he started tutoring from August 2023 to June 2024.
The whole family was so pleased with the results my daughter got in chemistry. For that enabled her to be accepted into one of the top UK unis to do her chosen course, Biomedical Science.
Andrew is very experienced, concise and good timekeeper. His methodology is second to none. I would not hesitate to recommend him to whoever is looking for a private tutor, particularly, in chemistry.
From Jasmine
Andrew tutored our daughter Jasmine for 6 months during her second year at college. During this time Andrew provided tuition for A Level Chemistry. Andrew came to our house weekly during which time he created and maintained an excellent working relationship with Jasmine offering personalised tutoring. As parents we were pleased with the support and guidance that Andrew gave to Jasmine. We are thankful that he supported Jasmine through the ‘trickier’ parts of A Level Chemistry. We would definitely recommend Andrew - a thoroughly lovely gentleman. Thank you
From arleta
Andrew helped me go from a grade D to a B in my A-Level Chemistry exam, after a couple of months of tutoring throughout year 13. He is always patient and understanding; explains theories well to help me understand things my teachers at school couldn’t. Andrew guides you through exam style questions with detailed marking and feedback. A big thank you and highly recommend!
From Monika
Andrew was a very helpful Tutor , he clearly explained the questions I struggled with and provided a large amount of additional resources which also aided me to understand the course better . He helped me to go from a D to an A so would recommend!
From Aseel
Andrew has been an amazing tutor, and has gone above and beyond to ensure my daughter thoroughly understands chemistry! My daughter has really enjoyed her lessons and I would highly recommend him!
From Rick
Andrew tutored my daughter A Level Chemistry online from Sept 2021 to Jun 2023. We took the decision to engage with a tutor early to build A-Level knowledge in a structured manner. Andrew was absolutely excellent from start to finish. He was always punctual, professional and considerate (with a great sense of humour). My daughter scored an A* and we believe this was directly attributable to Andrew’s engaging tutoring style. His knowledge is outstanding. Most importantly, my daughter really enjoyed the lessons. We have used a number of tutors for A-Levels and GCSEs in the past but Andrew has been the best (by a long way). What makes him different is that he guides, advises and leads the lessons rather than the inexperienced approach of many younger tutors who repeatedly let the student decide what to do (when if fact the student is not always best placed to judge this). A-Levels are really hard work, requiring effort and discipline from both the ‘Student’ and the ‘Tutor’. With Andrew, you can be sure that the ‘Tutor’ side of things is 100% perfect, BUT the Student must listen, and also commit in equal measure, for a truly successful outcome. Thank you Andrew – we consider ourselves very lucky to have found you!
From Colette
Andrew was employed to help my daughter who was struggling due to her chemistry teacher being absent for much of the first year of her GCSE studies. I can highly recommend Andrew - he is both patient and enthusiastic and takes time to identify the best teaching approach for his student. My daughter gained a lot of confidence and progressed well from her sessions. Unfortunately we had to end the relationship as there was a clash with after-school revision sessions for Chemistry, however I would be very happy to engage Andrew again if required, and would highly recommend him to other parents and students.
From AMARJIT
Excellent tutor for my son who is now into 2nd year of A-Level. Very well organised and keeps me updated with progress.
From Helen
My daughter was really struggling with A-level Chemistry at the end of year 12 and close to giving up. She started with Andrew once a week in year 13, he was a fantastic tutor, rebuilding her confidence and transforming her understanding of the the subject. Reliable and well prepared he tailored tutorials to her specific needs and was always willing to go that extra mile to help. He brought my daughter up 3 grades from where she was and today she has achieved her required grade for Uni! Cannot recommend or thank Andrew enough.
From Abbi
Andrew is a very nice man. He wasn’t a good fit for us - my son wasn’t willing to give him another chance after the first couple of sessions were very slow. Andrew gave extra time free of charge so we weren’t penalised for this slowness - which Andrew explained is deliberate in the first sessions to ensure pupils aren’t scared off by it being too hard. If your children are more able perhaps wise to set expectations to avoid them getting frustrated by the early sessions.
From Nicholas
Andrew has taken our daughter from a girl struggling to achieve Grades 4-5 to achieving a Grade 9 at GCSE following an extensive testing regime by her school
Andrew made the transition to online tuition during the pandemic and has provided a detailed understanding in a difficult subject. Our daughter also enjoys her chats with Andrew on a wide variety of topics and he is never quick to end sessions. This has been of great help to her also.
Our daughter continues her studies at A level with Andrew providing support. We would highly recommend Andrew.
From Sana
Andrew was extremely patient and meticulously planned each lesson and always allowed me to give input in what was to be covered from one week to the next. Very generous with his time and I never felt rushed. Explained things in a way which was easy to follow. Thank you Andrew.
From Lindsay
Andrew has really made a difference. We were impressed on his first visit when he just sat down and started explaining things with pencil and paper, and I could hear my daughter saying "Oh, I get that now!" The transition to Zoom tutorials has been perfectly fine. My daughter had lost her confidence and enthusiasm for chemistry and Andrew has come to the rescue with his knowledge and enthusiasm. He invariably goes over time in order to finish off explaining something. I would totally recommend him.
From Kitty
Andrew really helped me to understand the topics I was struggling with in Chemistry, especially Organic Chemistry. I improved by 3 grades since having Andrew as my tutor. He was really good at making sure I could get my head round something and I was never made to feel like I couldn't ask questions. I was provided with lots of practice questions which was really helpful. Thank you!
From Shirley
Andrew is an excellent tutor, able to quickly my daughters needs and provide a tailored and very appropriate study programme. My daughter quickly gained confidence in her A level Chemistry subject and improved on her predicted grade of D to a B in under 4 months. Had Covid not disrupted the sessions, we are confident she would have achieved the top grade (her test proved this). Andrew was always prompt and worked hard, he is patient and professional at all times. He went above and beyond, by providing resources to suit her needs and instil understanding. We can not thank Andrew enough for the workhe put in and the support he gave to our daughter. This support has meant she could fulfill her potential and attend the university of her choosing. If you choose Andrew to tutor, we believe you would not be dissapointed. Excellent value for money. Thank you.
From Elizabeth
Andrew has been a fantastic tutor for my son, who was until recently studying for his chemistry A level. He has gone above and beyond in helping my son understand chemistry. Supplying additional support and resources Lewis has found this to be most useful. Thank you Andrew.
From Shahzad
Andrew has been an amazing A level chemistry tutor to my daughter. She’s had him since the beginning of the academic year and he spends time in each lesson ensuring she understands the difficult concepts. He explains things thoroughly and in a way where she can understand it. We can see her confidence in As level chemistry increasing over the year and progress is being made. Will definitely be carrying on in year 13! Highly recommend Andrew
From Dave
Good teaching methods. My daughter has understood more in 2 months than her last year at school. Excellent work. Would recommend.
From Stephanie
Excellent tutor. Already had a few lessons and seen an improvement. My son missed a few sections at school and is now catching up.
From Deborah
Andrew has been tutoring my daughter for the past year and a half in Chemistry, preparing her for her GCSEs. Within the first few months, my daughter was moved into the top set at school and throughout the year and a half, her grades improved each assessment with the last grade being an A*. Andrew is passionate about Chemistry and that is evident in his teaching. I like that he is not a clock watcher when he is tutoring and I would have to remind him sometimes that it was 'time!' I whole-heartedly recommend Andrew as a tutor in this subject; he is reliable and produces great results (fingers crossed for the results in August).
From Sophie
Andrew was very reliable and certainly helped our daughter with respect to giving her more confidence in Inorganic and Physical Chemistry.He knew the current syllabus ,which was a plus. With regard to time he always went well over the one hour period and never rushed to get away.I would certainly recommend him.
From Behrad
Great Tutor! Andrew is excellent at teaching all of the topics in A level Chemistry.
From Stephen
Andrew is a fantastic tutor,my son joel is very impressed and is coming on in leaps and bounds.keep up the good work!
From Douglas
An excellent tutor who goes above and beyond expectations, organises lessons in his own time and sends useful learning aids such as PowerPoint presentations etc. Would recommend to anyone who is looking to improve their chemistry skills and get the results they want, I certainly did!
From Anu
From Yazeed
Excellent tutor, in such a short time he has helped me climb from a grade C to a grade A at AS-Levels. Definitely recommend, simple explanations and easy to understand.
From Deanne
Andrew provided a valuable insight into chemistry for our son - fingers crossed now for GCSE results day! Thanks Andrew
From Heidi
Andrew has really helped my daughter improve her knowledge of the topics within A level chemistry in such a short space of time. He explains things clearly and in a way that makes it easy to understand. Would highly recommend.
From Rohid
So far Andrew has been a great tutor and is able to adapt his teaching to match what I'm looking for at the moment. He is particularly good with providing in-depth detail, which is really useful for my weaker areas, leading to a better understanding of the chemistry involved as we work through the modules.
From John
Andrew is very knowledgeable, patient and extremely perceptive when it comes to his students weaknesses. My son was struggling with his A2 Organic Chemistry module in particular and after just a few sessions, Andrew is putting this right for him.
From Hannah
From Joshua
Knows what he's talking about and he charges less than others. No brainer really.
From Lina
Andrew us verry patient friendly and knowledgeable on organic chemistry.he is a great help I would definitely recommend him
From Jayne
From Claire
I would strongly recommend Andrew. He spent 3 hours with my daughter in the days before her Chemistry exam and she went from being very nervous to very confident. She felt she learned more in the 3 hours than she had in the whole term at school. Very knowledgable,and explained Chemistry in simple terms.
