My son has only had a few sessions so far with Matt, however he has really helped him to begin to build his understanding and gain confidence, particularly in creative writing. Matt is very patient and encouraging. It is a great benefit that Matt is also a GCSE examiner, it’s really helping my son understand how best to answer questions for maximum marks. My son is enjoying his lessons and I would certainly recommend Matt.
Thank you so much for the kind feedback. I am really enjoy my session’s with your son; he is a credit to you.
From Richenda
Matt started tutoring my son (year 11) a few weeks ago. My son fell really behind in English during the first lockdown and has never enjoyed the subject or reading. Thankfully Matt has been brilliant and has found away to successfully engage and encourage my son who actually enjoys his lessons and says Matt has made the subject really interesting. Matt has been both reliable and flexible where possible and I couldn’t be happier or recommend him more highly.
Thanks so much for the great feedback. It’s an absolute pleasure to work with Max.
From Lucy
Matt is a fantastic tutor and I would thoroughly recommend him.
Matt is head of English at a top girls' school and has an impressive CV. He taught my daughter GCSE English literature and language and Latin.
In 4 months he took her from a 6 in latin to a solid 9. And a 6/7 in English to an 8/9.
I was very impressed that he quickly found out her ability and any gaps in her learning and planned the time carefully to work efficiently to target raising her exam performance in the time available.
My daughter loved working with Matt and enjoyed her lessons. The sessions were very enjoyable for her. She could see the progress she was making and her confidence grew too.
Matt is also a lovely person, he is focussed and really cares about getting the best result for your child. He also really knows his stuff and is worth every penny.
I felt so welcomed by all of the family and thoroughly enjoyed my time working with Teagan. Thank you!
From R
Sadly we could not continue sessions due to COVID… and we seemed to be having communication issues. I enjoyed working with your son.
From Reena
Matt is an excellent English tutor who worked with our some age 13 for common entrance exams. His grade improved significantly over the short period of time we worked with Matt and more importantly our sons confidence improved significantly. Matt also made the lessons fun and interesting so a win-win all around!
Thanks Matt
I am such a big fan of your son and would happily come back any time. Thank you so much for the kind feedback and I really appreciated the warmth and hospitality of all your family. Hopefully Liverpool will win the PL next season!
From Mary
Matt has been teaching both my children English at GCSE and A level leading up to their exams this summer. He is friendly, approachable and has struck up a great rapport with both of them and they have enjoyed their tutoring sessions with him. He has also been able to fit in extra sessions at short notice and is very prompt to reply to any requests. I would thoroughly recommend him!
Thank you so much for the very kind feedback. Absolute pleasure to work with both your children and I wish you all the best in the future.
From Lisa
I cannot recommend Matthew highly enough! He is an excellent tutor as well as an experienced, qualified teacher of English and is friendly, polite and courteous. Matthew has been helping my son to gain confidence in English and also prepare for the new 9-1 GCSE exams. If you need a tutor then look no further.
Matthew is a pleasure to teach and I am very confident of his chances of achieving high grades in the coming GCSE session.
From Shona
Matt is providing tutoring for my 15 year old daughter in English Language & Literature for her GCSE. He makes all the sessions interesting and enjoyable and my daughter really looks forward to them. Her confidence and capability has increased and she is optimistic about getting a very good grade in the summer as a result of Matt's help.
From carolyn

From Terry
Matthew is a very knowledgeable and responsible young man. He is very patient with my son and has a very good understanding of GCSE marking requirements and is definitely worth the price.
Thank you so much for the very kind feedback. I am a great fan of working with Andrew and believe that he will do very well indeed.
From Shichuan
I have contacted you and agreed to start the class on 22nd 5:30pm. But you didn't show at that time and after that I cannot contact you anymore, you didn't answer the phone, didnot reply the sms even I tried many time. So totally I have no idea what happened.
I am very confused. I was the one trying to contact you for several days. I did not receive any texts, missed calls or voice mails messages.
From AD
I was really disappointed that we could not agree on a date after you bought my details. I did make you aware before this of when I was and was not available. I wish your daughter all the best with her studies.
From Sophia
My son has been enjoying his sessions with Matthew and I feel reassured that the desired results will follow.
Matt is a very studious and pleasant young man and it is a pleasure to work with him.
From Ritu
Matthew, is not able to carry on due to some family problem.
From Jared
We employed Matthew to assist our daughter in studying for her A2 English Literature exam which she has just taken. The sessions proved extremely helpful both in terms of structuring her revision time and also thinking more widely about the subject texts (which Matthew knew well). We were able to arrange mutually convenient times that worked for us both. Overall a very positive experience.
I really enjoyed working with Holly and wish all the best with university.
From Nick
Matthew really helped Issy to understand how to structure her essays and generally gave her more confidence to take her English Literature AS level.
I enjoyed working with Issy and wish her the best of luck with them rest of the A2.
From Sue
I really enjoy working with Chris. He is a thoroughly pleasant young man and I wish him all the best with the Scholarship.
From Rachel
Matthew did 2 x 4hr sessions with my son in the Easter holidays and worked really hard to try to keep him focussed and find ways to get him to engage (despite my son't best efforts not to comply). Upshot - he made it to the 7C grade that we were aiming for - up 2 sub-levels in 7 weeks. Matthew's tips and pointers really helped (as well as the threat of further tuition!). Thanks a million Matthew!
Greg was really good fun to work with and I hope he enjoyed some of the tuition! I'm really pleased that he got the level he did.
From Kathy
Excellent tutoring for Catherine, this has really given her confidence to complete her assignment. Will definitely contact again.
Really enjoyable working with Catherine. Looking forward to working together again. Matt
From Steven
Enthusiastic and very helpful with three out of my four A levels, would be stuck without him!
I'm a big fan of George and he is working very his A Levels.
From Shubha
Matthew has a very good command on English language and is very learned in terms of his subject knowledge. He is also very friendly and easy to approach which is important for a tutee. We were fully satisfied with the lessons my son took with him.
I very much enjoyed working with Anirudh and he will do great things.
From Anne
Very helpful and flexible. My son has really enjoyed having a young man tutor him !
I very much enjoy tutoring Harry and he will do very well in his exams.
From Penny
Unfortunately Matt was unable to provide tutoring due to a change in work circumstances.
I am sorry that I was unable to help Amy due to work commitments.
From Pervin
I paid to get his contact number and contaced with him and we arrange the date to tutor my daughter he didnt turn up that day we rang him he said he is not tutoring my daughter because he was in hospital we didnt believe at him at all. Even he was in hospital he could gave us a ring and explain that us He is not reliable. Can you refund my £14 please which i paid to get his contact number .
I had nothing but a succession of garbled and confused voicemails from this family. I made it very clear to you before you bought my details that I could only do certain days. The fact that you asked me to tutor on days when I was busy and also on days when I actually was in hospital have made it rather difficult to tutor your child,
From Alison
We only had Matt for 2 sessions. It proved difficult to find mutually convenient times . Also he was not familiar with my daughter's course material which at A2 level was a disadvantage. However his communication was good as we tried to sort dates and times out, when he did come he was punctual and he was very polite and had a pleasant manner.
I enjoyed working with Jess and was sorry that I couldn't help more and that we couldn't find a regular meeting time. I wish her every luck in the future.
From Linda
After just a few sessions Matt has helped me to build confidence that I will be able to achieve a high grade in my English AS retake.
I hugely enjoyed working with Nicole and believe that she can do so well with her English. Keep going!
From Tim
I used Matthew for help for a University level English Grammar re-take. He was very helpful and articulate, explaining things well. I am in no doubt that his help resulted in me passing the exam which I had previously struggled greatly with. A very good tutor.
I very much enjoyed working with you. Thanks
