Richard has been tutoring my son in French for the last few weeks and I am delighted to note that he is both very professional and efficient. He is precise in tailoring his lessons to our 14 year old's requirements and the delivery of each lesson is perfect, to the extent that our son looks forward to very lesson.
Thanks Khalid, and I've very much enjoyed helping your son with his French!
From Anuradha
Richard is professional and proactive and both my boys like him very much and have benefited from his two sessions with them. It is early days but I feel confident they are in good hands.
Thank you for your feedback, and I'm very happy the two of them are enjoying their French sessions and already feeling the benefit of them!
From Tina
I am very pleased with Richard's tutoring for my son, who just got his GCSE French result yesterday - grade 8. We are so happy, because my son's French was B in Y10. Richard is precise and organised in teaching. He was taking use of past papers to let my son improve on weaknesses. I really appreciated Richard's help. I would love to recommend Richard to others like my son who is struggling with French.
Thanks Tina, and like you I'm delighted by the progress your son made in French over the months we worked together. Congratulations to him on his excellent result!
From Anthony
I am very impressed with Richard. He undertook an initial review to determine my daughters weaker points, then laid out a plan to cover the material in the weeks and months ahead. He provides material to work on in advance of the tutorial, which is helpful. We are having face-to-face meet most of the time, which I prefer, and which seem to be rare these days. Altogether, I am very happy with Richard and am sure that my daughter will benefit greatly.
Thank you for your feedback, Tony, and I'm glad we've got off to such a positive start. We'll work hard to get your daughter the results she wants at GCSE, and, I hope, to kindle in her a life-long interest in French!
From Bev
Great communication with myself as the parent when arranging for A level French tuition, and managed to find a time that worked for us all. It is early days but my daughter is very pleased with our choice of tutor, her confidence has increased and she has said Richard will be very helpful. He came with fantastic reviews and has lived up to those.
Thank you Bev - Erin is a great student to work with, and really good to hear that she's already feeling more confident in that difficult transition between GCSE and A-level French.
From David
Richard is an excellent French tutor. Really engaged my teenage boy in the process which is not easy
Thanks David, very much appreciate the positive feedback, and glad to be able to help your son get to grips with French after a difficult start for him at school.
From Priscille
Richard is a very responsive , reliable and engaging teacher. He stepped in to help my daughter prepare her A level exam. He was very good at explaining and made sure of her understanding before moving on to the next topic. We can highly recommend him.
Thank you for your kind comments, Priscille, and I'm delighted with the progress your daughter made during our sessions with some of the trickier parts of French spelling and grammar.
From Euanne
Richard is a highly conscientious, caring and effective French tutor. He worked with our son, who wasn't keen on French and was bumping along at the lower set. His lessons were always well structured based on a proven methodology. Within 3 months, our son progressed up 2 sets which allowed him to take the exams a year earlier. His confidence grew and he scored a 9 in the CIE IGCSE. We cannot thank Richard enough for his contribution to our son's achievement.
From Vanessa
Richard stepped into the breach at very short notice and provided my son with exactly what he needed at that moment. We hope to work with you again in the future. Thank you Richard.
Very glad to be of service, Vanessa, and thanks for your positive comments!
From Anna
Richard tutored my son for GCSE in French. He was 100% reliable, well-organised and very helpful in identifying weaknesses and giving a strong foundation for my son's school teaching. My son improved radically in both written and spoken French and understanding with Richard's tutoring, and he also enjoyed learning a language for the first time. I whole-heartedly recommend him.
Thanks for your feedback, Anna, and the best news is, of course, him acquiring a taste for language learning, in addition to his great, well-earned GCSE result.
From Louise
Richard is extremely reliable and has very professional manner. My 15 yr old son is enjoying his extra French lessons and hasn’t complained once about having to do the tutorials, which is pretty amazing!
From Emily
Unfortunately it wasn't possible to begin lessons with Richard as he wasn't able to guarantee consistency and explained that due to the nature of his other work he may have to cancel sessions at very short notice.
As Emily says, there was a misunderstanding regarding the terms and conditions imposed by her **Contact Detail Removed** regarding cancellation of lessons and I was unable to contract with her on terms which were too restrictive.
From Lucy
Richard has been very helpful giving my son some focused practice for his French speaking and reading GCSE exam. It has given him confidence and will make a big difference in his exams.
