I first asked Nick to work with my son tutoring Maths GCSE back in 2022, the grade he achieved was exactly what he needed. As such, two years later I had no doubt in asking Nick to tutor my daughter for her Maths GCSE. His calm and patient way that he worked with my kids explaining the different concepts helped them understand. Plenty of examples and past papers enabled practice between sessions. Would highly recommend Nick.
Sadly, there are no younger siblings! As well as being a pleasure to work with, both H & J made the job easy by being keen and attentive during the tutorials. This attitude got H his desired result and I’m sure that J will receive good news in August.
From Wendy
Nice has only been to tutoring my daughter in year11 for a few weeks but already I can see her confidence in the subject coming out and may I say she seems to be enjoying it more too . Nick put her at ease from the 1st session and has a lovely relaxed , friendly and patient approach to the work, he helps her to understand alot of things she may not have quite got at school and is helping her focus on the areas she’s not quite grasped. My only down point is I wished I’d have found him sooner.
Lovely comments Wendy, thank you! Lilly’s a pleasure to work with & she’s coming along nicely. She’s keen to learn & she sets out her working logically. I’m optimistic that, with her continued effort - along with a bit of help from me & the positive support she’s getting from her parents - she’ll get the grade she deserves in spring.
From Joan
Nick is such a calm and reassuring tutor… highly recommended
A pleasure to work with, Sophia is both bright & keen to do well.
From SAlly
Nick is a real gentleman and from the minute he arrived for my daughter’s first session, he put her at her ease and we all got on like a house on fire! He has a lovely way about him and made the sessions really relaxed and dare I say, even enjoyable - sorry Nick it is Maths! My daughter has learned an awful lot and her confidence has grown. It is not always that easy, if a student doesn’t feel comfortable and they don’t build a relationship, then it becomes a battle! Nick has been great and feel like we’ve known him forever, I would totally recommend him to you.
Some students simply make the job easy - & Lily is one of them. Even though maths isn’t her favourite subject, her logical & methodical approach to problem-solving is a pleasure to witness. She listens & follows advice readily, making for smooth-flowing & effective learning. She’s keen too & happy to work through the full hour, without a break to re-establish concentration. This attitude comes in no small way, I imagine, from positive parental support.
From Heidi
Nick has been quite truly inspirational for my son. My son, William, is 15 and struggles with Maths, but he has developed such huge confidence over the past 5 months. He looks forward to seeing Nick. His scores have massively improved. Not where we need to be yet … but I have confidence. Nick is friendly, kind, interested in my child, pretty much everything you would want from a tutor. They sit for an hour together, learn, have engaged banter, and he has been a terrific help. Could not better recommend.
Thank you for your very generous comments. Will’s a pleasure to work with. He’s a bright lad & while maths may not be his favourite subject, he has numerical ability & asks some excellent questions. My biggest challenge is to get him to work through things on paper… & thereafter, to read his writing!
From Tracey
Hi Nick Just wanted to thank you again. You are a great teacher, patient, encouraging and supportive. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending you to others. Good luck in the future. Tracey and Grace
Thanks for your feedback ladies, it’s very much appreciated. Grace is a bright & attentive student & was a pleasure to work with. I wish her every success in the future & look forward to hearing how well she’s done in August.
From Karen
Nick has been tutoring our son for a few weeks as he was struggling with some of the Higher Tier Maths GCSE topics. Nick demonstrates great patience, he has the ability to explain things in a way that our son understands and provides valuable feedback. We have already seen a difference in our son as his confidence in Maths grows. Thank you Nick, we found you just at the right time.
Thank you for your your very kind words Karen, it’s a pleasure to work with James. He has the ability, along with a good attitude (fitting in a session just before his holidays!) & I’m sure that with his continued efforts he’ll do well.
From Linda
Nick is a fabulous tutor. My daughters confidence in Maths has grown considerably since she has been studying with Nick. He has a relaxed and friendly approach and nothing is too much trouble . Polite, courteous and always punctual. Lovely gentleman
Thanks for your lovely comments Linda. It might sound like a cliche but some students simply make the job easy; Ellie was always keen to learn & not afraid to ask if something wasn’t clear. Combine this with a real ability in maths & I’m sure she’ll be celebrating come August!
From Tracey
We have been using Nick for a few weeks now, and my daughter is finding one to one maths tuition very helpful with Nick, He has a very calm and easy manner, and explains things in a clear way, which is helping my daughter understand and gives her more confidence in her maths. We find Nick very down to earth, professional, patient, caring and approachable. Would highly recommend :)
Thanks for your kind comments. Apart from being attentive & full of questions, she is possibly the most-organized student I've worked with! Additionally, she's a lovely girl & the hour flies by.
From Karen
Nick has been supporting my daughter in her Foundation Maths revision for the past couple of weeks, and we have already seen a positive impact on her confidence in herself. Whilst it's early days in the process, she feels 100% more confident in her abilities to work on the maths questions than she did. Thanks for your support Nick.
Thanks Karen, much appreciated. Bethan is a pleasure to work with & in spite of the short time I've been working with her, I'm already confident that she'll do well next June.
From Roisin
My son responds to him well and settles to his work quickly Nick is friendly and punctual
Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback Roisin. Connel is a pleasure to work with; he listens well & works hard.
From Emma

James has the rare combination of ability & a wish to learn. He's a pleasure to work with.
From Alex

Harry & Alice are both a pleasure to work with & I'm looking forward to helping them achieve success in maths.
From Natalie
My daughter has only had 2 tutor sessions so far and already feels like she has made progress with some maths topics which she found tricky. She finds you both patient and enthuiastic, hopefully this will help her to continue gaining confidence. Thank you.
Rosie's a pleasure to work with - attentive & enthusiastic - & I hope she'll continue to make the progress she's currently making.
From Samantha
We've only had to tutor sessions so far but all looking very positive for next years exams.
Charlie is a bright & keen lad - I'm sure he'll do well.
From Johanne
We are absolutely delighted to have found Nick to help our son bridge the GCSE-A-level gap. He really enjoys working with Nick who has done wonders for his confidence and enjoyment of the subject. Nick is a wonderfully enthusiastic and clearly very able teacher. We would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone… in fact we wish we had found him sooner!
The enthusiasm of the tutor is often a reflection of that of the student. Jack is extremely capable & will, I'm sure, do well at A level & beyond. Additionally, his agreeable & intelligent company make the tutorials a pleasure.
From Rebecca
Absolutely FANTASTIC!
I planned to apply for my PGCE but needed a C in Maths GCSE before I could even apply. I booked an equivalancey test at Edge Hill Uni allowing my self just 6 weeks to learn as much as possible in time for the exam.
With the help of Nick I passed with 87% and can now apply for my PGCE. I would highly recommend Nick, he was very reliable and prompt in his responses by texts or emails to arrange sessions. He was very patient and explained things in a way I could understand.
I last sat my exam over ten years ago… three times! Each time I got a D, so this was a major acheivement for me, and without Nick I dont think I would have acheived this. At first I thought I was takng on too much, but with hard work and help from Nick I got it!
He also tutored my step-brother who re-sat his Maths and he also passed. If you want a reliable, friendly, patient tutor to help acheive your desired Maths grade, contact Nick :)
Your drive & determination were the key to your excellent result. You were a pleasure to work with & made my job easy :o)
From Kate
Nick has given my daughter the confidence to do well in her maths a level. He is helpful and knowledgeable and I would recommend him as a tutor.
