George is a superb tutor and much in demand. He has been tutoring my son Owen in A-level Economics for the past 2 months. Owen is very happy with George’s support and during this time Economics seems to be emerging as his favourite subject.
Beyond his evident expertise in economics, George's approach is very structured and organised. This is exactly what we were seeking for Owen, as it's the area he sometimes struggles in.
As George goes through topics, he provides model answers that are geared towards meeting the needs of examiners by ticking the right boxes. He also makes sure, step-by-step, that Owen truly understands each aspect covered by having him explain back. This intense focus and attention to detail is what sets George apart.
I would also add that he has been very helpful in advising Owen more broadly (e.g. the doing an EPQ vs 4 A-levels question) and in providing detailed feedback on his progress.
I can highly recommend George as being an excellent economics tutor!
From Kate
George is incredibly high achieving, hugely knowledgeable about economics and a great teacher. He has been very helpful in helping my daughter craft her personal statement and I would highly recommend him.
From Kian
Having had previous tutors which my son found dull, after only one lesson my son described George's style of teaching as informative and engaging. I'm very much looking forward to seeing how my son progresses. Thank you George!
From Anna
George is a superb tutor with incredible knowledge of maths and economics! Highly professional, experienced and diligent tutor, whose lessons are very constructive and well planned. My son made very quick progress in the areas of maths where he was lacking confidence and achieved his top desired grade A in AS maths after only a few lessons. George is now also teaching my son economics. We would highly recommend George to anyone. Thank you George!
From Lisa
My son has really enjoyed his Maths sessions with George. He is making progress every week which is great to see. Thank you

George Reference – September 2024
George has been tutoring my three sons (15,13 and 11) for the last four years. I cannot recommend him highly enough, he is kind, intelligent and one of those incredible teachers you don’t meet very often. All three boys are top of their respective maths sets (all are in the extended maths groups) and have considerable knowledge above their age range. This knowledge is now deeply embedded meaning they can naviga**Contact Detail Removed**ssons and excel when unpredictable challenges are thrown at them.
George works in dynamic and intuitive way. He structures the lessons differently for each child and plays to their particular strengths. He takes a nuanced approach, making sure the work is varied and interesting whist ensuring the curriculum is covered. If the boys need to be pushed George works out ways to stimulate them and make maths exciting, and if they are struggling with anything he will slow down and allow them to learn the subject thoroughly. George’s teaching is not surface level.
George has developed a deep repour which each child and they trust him and look forward to their lessons. George has also provided useful resources and excellent exam/ interview techniques that have helped the boys in their wider school life.
In addition, George works well with neurodivergent children, working with the advantageous aspects of dyslexia and ADHD (never seeing neurodivergence as an impediment) and giving the boys the stamina and confidence they need to succeed. If you get the chance to employ George as your tutor – jump at it. He is an excellent teacher and an excellent human. Any child or adult would be lucky to work with him.

From Jacob
George is a very good economics tutor. He helped me achieve an A where i was struggling to get Bs in my study of economics. I 100% recommend him.
From Emilie
Our son started seeing George for for tutoring for four months prior to his A Level Economics retake. From the outset, George has been extremely professional and gave our son a huge amount of confidence in the lead-up to his exams. He was extremely clear in explaining concepts and filling in any gaps that our son hadn't grasped in group classes at Sixth Form College. The regular homework that was set, and the subsequent discussions regarding it were of great value to our son gaining a better understanding of the topics covered. George was extremely approachable and it helped that our son could do the classes via Zoom. We have no hesitation in recommending George for Economics tutoring. Update on A level results day - our son jumped from a Grade D to a Grade A and has got into his first choice of university. Many thanks to George for helping his achieve his potential.
From Natalie
George recently started to support my daughter for A level economics, he has reinvigorated her drive and determination to aim to achieve A/A*. His teaching style is thorough and motivating. Thus far, Grace is delighted to have George as her tutor. Thanks George.
From Satbir
George is an outstanding tutor with exceptional knowledge of Economics and has a unique tutoring method that is so impactful. Only after a few lessons my son has managed to grasp the key topics and approach the Essay type questions with huge confidence. He had previously struggled for months trying to achieve his best results despite working relentlessly. I wish I had known George a lot sooner as he has unlocked my son's confidence and potential in very short period of time. Thank you.
From Charles
Great tutor, helped a lot explaining micro and macro content of a level
From Ansar
The lessons with George are really helpful. He has notes that are designed to cover each topic and evaluation linked to those topics, so if you are struggling with your evaluation and analysis, his lessons will be very effective.
From Junling
George is a great tutor, he has helped my son work on Eton's KS math papers in the past few months. My son's math level improved so much. I highly recommend him.
From ToluJoanna
George has been just what my 10-year old son needs in the run up to the 11+ exams. They speak the same maths language! George is reliable, focussed, extremely capable and very responsive to my messages on my son’s progress. My son looks forward to the sessions and we can see the positive impact that they have on his homework and progress in class. Very glad to have found George!
From Josie
A great first session with George for my daughter who is doing her A level economics this spring. Really happy to have found George to support her up until the exams. Really positive, supportive and encouraging covering the important topics and how to tackle the 25 markers. Huge knowledge and enthusiasm for the subject. Thank you
From ross
George is an excellent and intelligent tutor. By introducing me to fascinating/insightful books, he has opened my eyes to the workings of economics throughout history.
George always makes sure that I understand a subject thoroughly before continuing on - Asking questions like 'Is everything clear?' or 'Do you have any questions?' this ensures my understanding of a topic.
As I switched from buisness to economics around a month into term time, I found myself behind on alot of the economics works. However, I can say without a doubt that George has pushed me from zero to hero - I am now finding myself a month ahead of my economics class rather than behind.
I am never afraid of asking questions whether it be in the lesson or outside of the lesson. When paired with his quick responses, he makes for a great economics tutor!
From Agee
George is an incredibly motivated economics tutor and has helped me so much with writing evaluations and understanding the more complicated parts of the a level economics specification. I would definitely recommend him to any student who needs the extra support!

From Ying
George is an excellent tutor. He provides tutorials to my son and prepares him for IGCSE in economics and English. He is patient, friendly, and well-organised. He is open-minded and knowledgeable, which is important for broadening a student's horizon and developing their competence in understanding the subject areas. He accommodates our requests holistically and shows his capacity to support my son to achieve great potential. We highly appreciate George's effort, time, and hard work.
Thank you so much for the review Ying. I have very much enjoyed teaching your son Boheng.
From simon
George has been terrific for my year 11 son who has IGCSE and AQA Level 2 this summer. They are able to cover new ground in the further maths paper as well as revise the completed IGCSE curriculum. The remote learning technology George uses is effective in the one-to-one sessions.
From Hannah
George is a fantastic teacher, a lovely person and I cannot recommend him highly enough. For the last couple of years George has worked with my eldest son, who’d been having a tricky time at school and getting bored in Maths. Since working with George, my son has grown in confidence, is significantly in front of anyone in his year group and looking to do Maths GCSE two years early. In addition, the confidence and support he’s gained from George, has spread into all aspects of his school life – he has become more intellectually curious, keener to do well and even happier socially. My other son has worked with George because he was struggling a bit and needed some additional help. He is also now doing really well in Maths, loving it as a subject and getting top marks. Any child or adult who has George as their tutor is exceptionally lucky, he’s kind, engaging and really interested in the kid’s progress. Given a choice, my children would prefer to have full time George than any of their school teachers. He’s brilliant. Hannah Moore **Telephone Number Removed**
From Jean
Dear George Pleased too here that all arrangements are finally agreed and in yours and Alara diaries. I hope that with your help Alara will get more confident in her economic studies. With regards Jean Ridout
Hi Jean, thank you for your message. Yes, it was great we got Alara scheduled in when you called. We can definitely make sure Alara becomes more confident in her economics studies. I look forward to working with you. Best, George
From Alistair
George has been tutoring my son in mathematics for several years and I can’t recommend him strongly enough. When my son completed year 6 maths was one of his weaker subjects. Since he was attending a highly academic school with high expectations in Maths we felt it important to get a good tutor to ensure he didn’t fall behind. Not only has the tutoring with George ensured he hasn’t fallen behind, but after several months with George, he was placed in the top set for mathematics. Maths is now a very strong subject for him as he goes into his final GCSE year. George has an excellent friendly and engaging way about him and even though the tutoring has been remote, it has been outstanding. I couldn’t imagine it being any better in person. My son looks forward to his time with George since he enjoys the deeper understanding of mathematics that he learns from his sessions and recognises the benefits of the 1 to 1 attention from George. I would have no hesitation in recommending George as a math tutor and am very pleased that we have been fortunate enough to have come across him – he has made a huge difference.
