Maxime's Feedback

Maxime is an amazing tutor. He not only passes on an excellent understanding, he also pushes you to excel. His teaching technique is great and he writes detailed notes each lesson and sends them over. This was really helpful with revision. He helped me achieve an A grade in chemistry and I highly recommend him.

Maxime helped me with my third year organic chemistry and I can confidently say he is the best tutor I have had - and I have tried quite a few different online tutors during University!! He is extremely enthusiastic, laid back and makes the work fun :) i also felt as though he wouldn’t judge me if I didn’t understand something or if I said something silly, which really helps when you’re trying to learn stuff you don’t really like very much! Great tutor, would highly recommend to others :)

I have now graduated from university with a Masters in Chemistry, achieving a 2:1. I know for sure that Maxime helped me massively with this - not only by teaching me new ways of thinking of organic chemistry but also by increasing my confidence!! Thanks Maxime

I highly recommend Maxime for Chemistry tution at all levels. He tutored my daughter at University level for a Chemistry degree for 3 years and she has now obtained a first class degree and has been accepted for postgraduate studies at the University of Cambridge. She thoroughly enjoyed all of her lessons with him and it is down to Maxime's dedication, passion and hard work that she achieved this.

Maxime is an incredible tutor, he is enthusiastic, highly proficient, engaging and tutee focused. He really gets to understand the student, how they prefer to work and will always reach out in advance to prepare the topics. Although my son only had a few sessions with him, I have no hesitation in recommending him!

Maxime is an absolute godsend! I was so convinced I would fail my OChem exam (third-year undergrad), but after Maxime's tutoring, I walked into the exam feeling much more confident in my abilities. He has a great way of explaining the difficult concepts I had to face, and somehow helped me find an appreciation for organic chemistry, something I genuinely thought was impossible cause I've always disliked OChem! He has a great energy and was also very accommodating when I had to change session times last minute, which I really appreciated. I can't recommend him enough - thank you so much Maxime, I couldn't have done it without you! :D
Editing this post-results day to say that I got a 74 (i.e. a first!) in the exam! I'm honestly so thrilled - I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw the result. Thank you again Maxime - you're truly an OChem legend!!

Such a fantastic tutor! Taught me what I needed to know very well and patiently. Would recommend him 100% and I will definitely be coming back to him in the future.

Our son struggled with his first year of A-Level Chemistry, and needed someone to explain things to him in a way he could more easily grasp, so we arranged some sessions with Maxime over the summer to build up his foundations. Maxime's approach is very organised, friendly, and encouraging. It's never any trouble to ask questions outside of the sessions, and he always provides useful homework after each. His enthusiasm shines through, and our son responded to that really well. He's not yet taken his re-sits, but there's a definite boost in confidence on show so hopefully that can translate to positive results in the coming weeks! Highly recommended.

Maxime was absolutely lovely! He explained concepts with great clarity and was able to quickly adapt to the topics that I needed for my exam. I really appreciated that I was able to tailor the lessons to focus the things I struggled with the most and I feel like I got a lot out of 1hr lessons! Maxime was also super quick & open to answering texts with photos of questions I was having difficulty with between our lessons, it was really useful having someone to look at the work I was doing and quickly tell me how I could improve. Thanks Maxime!!

Getting Maxime to tutor my son was a decision made after reading through other reviews. A decision that was not regretted, He is a brilliant kind teacher that definitely has a way of teaching that the student learns from… My son started understanding his subjects more clearly which led to much better grades. Do not hesitate and book Maxime for tutoring. Thanks Maxime and sorry in the delay of review it has been pending for some time now!

From the parent: Maxime was the most outstanding tutor we could ask for. I'm a teacher myself and really understand the difficulties of long distance learning. Maxim's confidence, lesson preparation, prediction of the difficulties within organic chemistry were beyond measure. He went over and above to provide personalised, consistent contact encouragement and confidence. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

From the student: Maxime has been the most outstanding tutor! I started Y13 getting low Cs and Ds in Chemistry, and achieved a high A in my final A-levels, and I couldn't have done it without his support. Maxime was a constructive teacher, providing the highest level of homework and feedback. He explained complex ideas in an understandable way, as well as encouraging my knowledge and interest in Chemistry, further than the A-level specification. Maxime is a patient, professional and genuinely funny teacher, and I looked forwards to every lesson. 10/10!!!

Maxime has been supporting our daughter in the last 2 months of her International Baccalaureate Chemistry High Level. This course is really intense and broad. Maxime has been fantastic in supporting her in catching up the knowledge not delivered by the school such as organic chemistry. He also helped her in improving her marks on past papers, covering the overall curriculum and filing in the gaps, up to the evening before her exams.

Maxime is really enthusiastic, easily approachable and of course very knowledgeable. He does the research he needs to do, to ensure he can support appropriately. He also made himself available to suit our daughter's time schedule and needs. He really boosted her confidence and self belief. He adapted his teaching style to suit her needs. Maxime is worth every penny.
Thank you so much Maxime, now fingers crossed for the exams

Enthusiastic and joyful yet thorough and well prepared teacher. My daughter looks forward to her Chemistry lesson where as before she dreaded that subject, thanks to Maxime she likes Chemistry.

So just three lessons from Maxime so far and my son, who was struggling with A level inorganic chemistry just got an 'A' for his class test this week. He is chuffed, as it is the first time that has happened in the sixth form. I don't know who is more surprised, his A level teacher or my son himself, but he was simply bursting to tell me. Whatever is happening in those lessons with Maxime (I don't actually know as I leave them to it and don't listen in but I know my son says he enjoys it) is clearly worth every penny!

An outstanding tutor! Goes above and beyond for his students and has a real passion for his subject, with methods of explaining a complex topic in simple terms. Maxime is always there to help and provide support and also very organised. He has a calm, reassuring and friendly manner. I benefitted from the lessons and I am forever grateful for the confidence boost I gained in organic chemistry.

I contacted Maxime a couple of weeks before my exam in desperation and he started lessons with me straight away. I learnt more in our sessions than I could have in any of my lectures. He explained everything so clearly and in depth and I was shocked at how much I didn’t know. I went from basically failing to getting a great grade at my final exam, thanks to Maxime. Excellent tutor

I had about 20 hours of tutoring with Dr. Maxime, and I can safely say he was AMAZING! haven’t even imagined I would be able to understand organic chem this well! I had almost zero knowledge about organic (university level) but Maxime has helped me a lot with his simplified explanations. What I loved the most that he asks you a lot of questions which can open up your mind and make u think better! Also he writes prefect notes during the lesson and sends them to u later so you can refer back to them while revising which I find it extremely helpful! I would definitely recommend him for anyone who is struggling with organic chem! Believe me you will not regret it!

Maxime has been a blessing! He gave my daughter the confidence she needed. He is very knowledgeable and encouraging and knows how to get the best in young people. My daughter achieved her coveted A in chemistry (A-levels 2022). I highly recommend him!

From Failing to a First.

From tutee:
Maxime has been amazing, helping me through third year organic chemistry at university. With his help I managed to go from failing second year organic, to getting over 80% in year three with a first overall! I cannot thank him enough and highly recommend him to anyone who needs help with chemistry.

From Mum:
Our daughter phoned to say she was planning to drop out of university as she was so overwhelmed and failing, particularly in organic chemistry. She had spent much of her degree in isolation, struggling to learn online during lockdown and with no access to labs. I suggested finding a tutor to at least have a chat with before making a final decision.

We found Maxime and he was a breath of fresh air; positive, calm and clearly very committed. I asked if he could try and find out if things were really as hopeless as they seemed. He got back after the session saying he could definitely help, so we set up some lessons.

Maxime’s subject knowledge was awe-inspiring. His lessons were always thoroughly prepared and he would find unique and interesting ways to tackle complex ideas helping to build confidence, whilst being challenging and reinforcing the university learning in a supportive and holistic manner.

Today was results day: 'BSc in Chemistry, First Class Honours'.

We were over the moon! Things had looked so bleak just a few months back. But… more importantly, were very grateful to Maxime for helping our daughter reignite her love of chemistry and belief in herself again. Thank you so much Maxime.

I can highly recommend Maxime to you. He is a complete professional; flexible & adapts to the needs of the tutee & he has such a great personality. He has helped my daughter since April with her A level chemistry & his help has really boosted her knowledge, understanding & confidence; he is able to explain difficult topics clearly & break them down so they are easily understood. I can’t thank him enough. He really cares about his tutees & how they’re getting on during the exam period & my only regret is that I didn’t find him sooner. If you or your child need help with Chemistry- what are you waiting for - book Maxime now before someone else does. He’s worth every penny of the fee.

If you are looking for a tutor that will push the boat out for you and be there for you even when on his holidays, also teach you in a way your grades will improve, then Maxine is your guy look no further, top class and worth ever penny. Looking forward to using him again next year. Brian

Maxime is an excellent tutor and I can throughly recommend him.

He was very knowledgeable in his subject and was able to communicate this in an interesting, understandable and enthusiastic way. He is very passionate about chemistry and this is reflected in his teaching.

Maxime responded to emails promptly and pulls out all the stops to assist in anyway he could. He was flexible with one to one zoom sessions and was happy to rearrange if there was an issue with availability.

I can not recommend Maxime enough and if you are struggling with Chemistry, he’s the tutor for you!

Maxime is an excellent tutor, he is very committed and enthusiastic, he always prepares for the lesson in advance and has many ways to explain the topics. He prepares exercises and he's always happy to explain the reasoning behind answers. Thank you, Maxime! :)

Maxime is so helpful and lovely. He is very considerate of your schedule and has been helping me greatly in my chemistry a-level, in particular organic chemistry. Would definitely recommend!

Maxime is truly an exceptional tutor. Few individuals are
able to breakdown a concept into its fundamentals and build it back up again, making sure that you understand throughout the process. This is essential in chemistry. I had to take time out from university due to health issues and my knowledge in organic chemistry was seriously lacking. He has been fundamental in the drastic improvements in my grades, as well as my overall attitude to learning

From the outset Maxime was straight onto building confidence with my daughter. She found his teaching style open and patient and thorough. He offered different ways to explain difficult concepts and had great patience with a fun and positive manner. As a parent he took control and that was appreciated and communication was always clear- I would highly recommend him as a teacher who has a fun and engaging style which builds knowledge and confidence- my daughter really enjoyed her sessions .

Very helpful. If you need help with Organic chemistry the most then Maxime is the perfect person. Could not recommend more.

He is one of the best teachers I have ever had he made me love chemistry again , he explained everything and made it look so easy even though the time we had was not enough but I understood everything, I really recommend him if you’re struggling with organic chemistry!

The date of my post-grad admissions exam was fast approaching when I found Maxime and I'm so glad I did. He straight away made me feel as though the material was achievable while being realistic about how much we could cover in the time I had.
He clearly knows his subject inside out and helps you understand the fundamentals of organic chemistry and apply them for yourself.
Don't hesitate to contact him.

My daughter really enjoyed her A level lessons with Maxime and found him excellent at explaining complex organic chemistry concepts in a very easy to understand way… He has definitely inspired her on her onward journey in chemistry. Thank you Maxime.

Maxime has been a great tutor. He really helped me to understand chemistry rather than rote learning and was great and fitting in tutorials when I needed them. He's also very friendly and approachable and I enjoyed the tutorials.

Maxie is an excellent tutor who always provide my brother with detailed explanation. I would highly recommend him if you are searching for a personal chemistry tutor.

Maxime is helping me go from a D grade to a B in chemistry, could not have asked for a better tutor! I went from being completley lost at sea with A level chemistry to genuinely enjoying chemistry and restoring the hope that I might end up in medical school this year! He is always available to answer my random questions over text when he is free and our lessons are straighforward and very helpful! Hope to continue with him into uni, 100% recommed, you wouldnt regret.

Before finding Maxime I found the thought of organic chemistry overwhelming with a test rapidly descending upon me. Maxime was able to explain and clarify in a way that I found very easy to understand and remember, we would spend extra time on things he saw I struggled with and he would give me homework to complete in order to increase my understanding. Thanks to him I have passed a exam with flying colours and intend to continue to work with him in order to achieve the same results in my next exams. Would highly recommend for someone that is struggling with chemistry or just needs a boost in order to understand the subject fully. Thank you again!

Maxime is an amazing tutor, he manages to explain complex topics like it’s no problem. I had no background on Organic Chemistry and he even took the time to explain the basis. Definitely recommend him if you need a tutor for Organic chemistry.

Maxime was very flexible with what my daughter needed ( A level chemistry), explained clearly and she understood in a few lessons.
Would recommend , and have already done so.

I have learnt a great deal from Maxime in the past few months with regards to understanding organic chemistry. Maxime gave me exercises to complete and tested my memory on basic concepts every lesson that was pivotal in order to achieve total understanding. Maxime has been a wonderful teacher to have and it has been a pleasure to learn from him.

Maxime is very experienced and knowledgeable. He keeps his lesson effective, engaging and very entertaining. I was able to stay focus and overcome my fear of organic chemistry. I can't believe how much I have learnt already with Maxime. I definitely plan to keep working with him until I finish my degree.

Excellent tutor, would highly recommend to a level students or anyone studying chemistry

Maxime has been an immeasurable help with my studies. I was previously a roof tiler before coming to university, and was never that good at School, but Maxime's methods, and how he explains things was clear and easy for me to grasp.

I would recommend Maxime to anyone that wanted a better understanding of Organic Chemistry methods and general chemistry as a whole.

5/5 Tutor.

Maxime has been brilliant! He is friendly and flexible and has helped me a lot with organic chemistry which is something I had never done before, he made it easy for me to understand and has really built up my confidence for an exam! Thankyou!
