Giles was absolutely fantastic. He made my son fall back in love with english literature and helped him gain confidence with his english language. My son gained the GCSEs he needed to progress onto his next steps at college and Giles definitely helped him do this. Thank you so much Giles !!!
From Glenn
First and foremost I feel that the student should be leaving feedback and not the parents. Ruby is very happy with Giles. Ruby will leave a more comprehensive feedback, once all tuition is complete.
From Emilia
Giles has been a real positive influence on my son. Providing personalised solutions to overcome barriers. I have been impressed in the rapport he built up that has allowed my son to have greater confidence in his work.
Thank you so much! Ted is a joy to teach and really grapples with the topic with great enthusiasm. I'm quietly confident about how he'll get on this summer.
From Andy
Chris has been very patient with the young person we requested him to tutor. This has been much appreciated. Good communication throughout.
From Bethan
In the space of a year, Giles helped my child go from 4s to 9s in both English language and literature. In addition, Giles boosted their confidence in their ability to write and even got them to start liking poetry! Giles provided me with regular updates on their progress and showed a real interest in their development. I would not hesitate to recommend Giles.
Diolch yn fawr Bethan! Your child was a joy to teach.
From Karen
We are very happy with the tuition Giles has given our daughter. Giles is a very pleasant and knowledgeable person, and has always been quick to respond to our messages. We would highly recommend him.
Thank you so much Karen! Lottie is a joy to teach and has done really well getting to grips with not particular easy subject matter. I'm sure she'll do really well in her exams!
From Manahill
Giles has been an excellent tutor for Munza. She has seen huge improvement in the quality of her schoolwork and her understanding of literature. She was working at a GCSE 6/7 and is aiming for an 8/9. Giles has been excellent in guiding her to achieve these higher scores. I would definitely recommend his tutoring services.
Gosh what a wonderful thing to hear! Munza is a joy to teach and I have high hopes for her GCSE English!
From Zeba
Giles has been working with my son for a few months supporting him with GCSE English Literature. Giles was quick to develop a good rapport with my son and he was quick to establish areas which needed attention. He has provided some useful resources and I feel that the invested time with Giles will pay off. Highly recommended!!!
Thank you so much Zeba! Rehan is a joy to work with, a healthy balance of knowledge and maturity. Working with him is a highlight of my working week!
From Richard
Giles has been tutoring our son Tom (aged 14) for the past six months in preparation for his GCSE English Literature and Language. Tom initially wasn't keen on tutoring like most teenage boys - however Giles engaged with him well from the off and he has really enjoyed his weekly sessions. Giles has a very relaxed humorous teaching style and Tom finds he explains concepts well and is easy to understand. He has given Tom lots of fantastic tips to use in his coursework and exams along with a good structure to use when approaching exam questions. Tom's predicted grades for English Language have improved from Grade 3/4 up to 5/6 since he has started sessions with Giles. Giles was initially coming to our house to tutor but since lockdown the sessions moved seamlessly onto Zoom and these remote sessions are working really well. Giles has a good knowledge of GCSE exams, the marking schemes and the school system in general. He has done some mentoring with Tom helping him to decide what to do after GCSEs. Giles has been very flexible with sessions and will invariably rearrange at short notice if we ever can't make a session. We would not hesitate to recommend Giles to other parents for GCSE and A Level Tutoring.
That is great to hear Richard, thank you so much!. It has been a joy to see Tom come out of his shell and really engage with some of the trickier issues that are presented in the set texts!
From Dare
Giles is amazing!!! He tutored my son, Tobi, specifically for his GCSE English for about 4 months leading to his examination. After one month of Tutoring, Tobi confirms things that were not clear to him before were becoming clearer. Tobi went to the exam very confident of himself. And Giles give regular feedback on the tutoring.
From Manjeet

Thank you Manjeet! Apoorva was an absolute delight to tutor, I'll miss you guys too!
From Randa
giles is a really good tutor and has helped my daughter lots in school. he is understanding and well organised. i highly recommend this tutor
Thank you Randa! Your daughter is a delightful student who is making good progress, retains information really well, and is a joy to teach!
From Graham
Giles has been helping our daughter with English which he is doing brilliantly as he makes the subject interesting and fun. We have already, in a short space of time, seen a difference in her confidence and how she approaches her homework. We have had a note back from school recognising how well she is doing in English which is great feedback for us but also great independent recognition for Giles!
We would recommend Giles as a tutor and so would our daughter which is praise indeed!
Thankyou Graham! Your daughter is an absolute delight to teach!
