Oliver's Feedback
From Christina
We never managed to arrange a lesson after we had exchanged details and the commission to First Tutors was paid. Oliver had other commitments.Hi Christina
Thanks for your feedback.
We discussed your requirements before and after agreeing to proceed with tuition. After you paid the commission, we identified that you required help with a non-UK exam board, and so I suggested that a tutor more experienced in that specific board may be more appropriate. I also explained that it has become increasingly difficult for me to sustain a position of self-employment, due to not only the pandemic but also the UK government's push for tutors to have qualified teacher status under the National Tutoring Program. This has led tutoring agencies to express preferences for tutors with PGCEs, and tutoring sites like First Tutors do not result in sufficient enquiries to constitute a source of regular work.
Given this, I offered to refund your commission but, again, due to cash flow issues there has been a delay in sorting this for you. This has now been actioned.
I appreciate your frustration, but I thought it better and less disruptive to cancel before tuition began than begin only to have to cancel later.
Best wishes

Unfortunately we were unable to commence any tutoring, so i cannot make comment. Our online tutoring was cancelled two days before we were due to strart. Oli has been good at responding to my emails.I'm taking a break from tutoring on medical grounds and communicated this to Sarah in the cancellation e-mail.
From Dalbir

Thanks so much for this great feedback. I enjoyed working together and hope we do again.

From JANE
This system sucks I paid £25 for what - introduction ???? it is a lot of money to pay for nothing This is not a personal attack / negative comment for tutor who we have not seen spoken with or used but for the system that does not flow - contact is very poor don't know whos fault this is
I feel it has been a complete waste of money as nothing for me has been gained
Hi Jane
I understand. It looks like a combination of (1) your limited phone reception and (2) my lack of access to your e-mail address has affected our ability to arrange tuition (see below). We could still work together, if you'd like this. I'm sure that the site administrators would be happy to resolve this and adjust the feedback situation that's arisen as a result.

Looking back, I've an e-mail from First Tutors (16 February) containing the following:
'JANE has been sent a copy of your contact details and should be in contact within the next 48 hours to arrange your first GCSE or National 3-5 English lesson.
The request associated with this match will remain open for a further 30 days following payment of the introduction fee, to aid communication between you and your tutee.'
Looking at our messages, I see the following:
'From You (**Telephone Number Removed** Dear JANE
Thank you for your enquiry. We'll speak shortly.

From Juri
I would 100% recommend, as he explains everything clearly even if it seems hard . He also works well with students to see how they learn and what methods suit them best and bases the lessons on the easiest way for the student to understand. Also, very flexible time and is really nice about rescheduling. Honestly the best.Hi Juri
Thank you for this lovely feedback. Well done for taking your studies seriously and advancing your grade through a mature combination of open-mindedness and hard work. It was a pleasure to work with you, and I think that you're most suited to your chosen career path: very well done.

From Kareem
Oliver is an excellent tutor who is able to provide highly specialized support and is extremely flexible with regards to the areas which he is able to cover. I have been in the process of consulting him for a couple of months and he has been nothing short of stellar in terms of the feedback which he provides and I believe that I have learnt a lot from him. Oliver is also very reliable, punctual and professional. He is a great role model and I can't recommend him highly enough!Hi Kareem
You're too kind, and it's a pleasure to work with you.

From Nina T
Oliver helped me with English Language - he showed me different view point to creative writingand understanding analysis referencing to script writing; this was more engaging and my writing approach has changed. He is understanding and encouraging. I will ask for his tutoring in the future if I feel the need to.
Thank you
Hi Nina
Thank you for this kind review, for which I can only accept marginal credit. Your commitment to the practice questions played a significant role in your progression: well done!

I'm working with Oli to help me with my study skills for my degree, we use Skype since I'm a million miles away. It's all going really well, he is helping me with my confidence and planning, so pleased I found him, I'm sure my grades will improve as well as my confidence and stress levels.From Lara
Oli is a very knowledgeable tutor who is flexible with his teaching styles. His sessions are very relaxed but equally informative and useful. Thoroughly enjoy them and feel my knowledge has increased already from the limited sessions we have had!From Tanya
Oli has developed a really good professional relationship with my aspergers y10 son. He has brought him on rapidly. Very glad I found him. Highly recommend
