Thank you for the feedback Karl
From Vicky
Roger is currently tutoring our daughter in Maths in advance of her forthcoming GCSEs. Roger has made a huge difference already in the space of around 3 months, with her receiving much improved grades and growing in confidence on a weekly basis. Roger is patient, encouraging, kind and methodical, and has made a good grade in Maths feel not only possible, but likely for our daughter, who had lost faith in herself over the past couple of years. Can't recommend him more highly.
Thank you for your feedback Vicky. It is a pleasure to teach your daughter and see the improvements that she has made
Roger
From Dee
We are delighted to have Roger tutoring our 14 YO son. He really enjoys the lessons and gets so much out of them and has made huge progress with his maths and sciences. We hope in time that our younger son will also have lessons with Roger.
Thank you for your feedback Dee… It is a pleasure to teach your son
From Irina
Roger is an amazing tutor. He has supported my son with a difficult transition from Covid impacted Secondary school where subjects were half-taught into high demanding times of A-levels at an independent school. In both, general studying organizational matters and subject matters, where Roger has proven himself as truly multi-disciplinarian. My son had tuition in Chemistry, Physics and still continuing with Maths. There were multiple times when Roger came to rescue with extra tuition time and support around exams. Highly recommended. Thank you!
Thank you for the feedback Irina
From Nancy
Good tutor, managed to create a slot for a lesson However, teaching style is not for me as it is more content based
Hi Nancy
Thank you for the feedback. Kerolos was focused in exam practice with very little theoretical and practical knowledge. It is quite hard to do exam practice if your knowledge is poor. The usual progression is to learn the basics and understand the material before starting with answering questions progressing to the harder ones. As a suggestion it will be important for Kerolos to learn the language and understand how and when to use it. He has a number of misconceptions and misunderstandings and is not willing to listen to advice. I whish all the luck with finding a tutor and all the luck to Kerolos in his studies
From Dennis
Nice guy and friendly with good sense oh humour. My children like his style teaching.
Thank you Dennis
From Samira
Roger is a very knowledgeable and caring tutor, he puts in a lot of effort and detail to help you understand hard concepts very well!
From Isabel
Due to Covid , my 16 year old school has not been able to return to his school abroad to start his A- Levels. Dr Roger is doing an amazing job teaching him maths, physics and chemistry, managing to keep him on a par with his peers. Because of his broad knowledge base and long teaching experience, he is able to make his classes very engaging and easy to understand. His approach is to explain why rather than focusing on just memorising facts. In maths he knows lots of helpful tricks and shortcuts that you would not find in a textbook. He is kind and patient in his approach and always willing to go over areas again until they are fully understood without making my son feel stupid. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
From Gaynor
Roger is an inspirational tutor, we are lucky to have found him. Roger is very passionate and knowledgeable about maths, he has found a way to teach Toby in an understanding and positive way. Toby believes he can and will achieve an ‘A’ in his A level next year. Toby has been motivated and is enjoying maths again, he is now applying to do an accounting and finance degree. I can’t recommend Roger highly enough.
From Greg
Well prepared, extremely knowledgeable and inspiring, really impressed - and so was my son
Thank you very much for your feedback
From Rhona
Roger is an inspirational tutor who engaged my son in conversations beyond the A Level syllabus sharing his passion for Biology and promoting curiosity and further independent study. Excellent revision notes were provided. My son is going on to study Zoology at university.
It was a pleasure to teach him.
Thank you for the feedback
Roger
From Sarah Jane
Unfortunately he is so popular we could only manage a few sessions but he has managed to highlight the areas that Oliver needs to work on with his tutors at school.
From Geetha
My experience with Roger:
Very committed teacher Very interested in teaching and helping students Will stay beyond the prescribed time to help and is very flexible. I have no hesitation in recommending Roger
Thank you for your feedback Geetha it was a pleasure
From Caroline
I think you are kind, attentive and caring of your pupils and have worked hard to explain topics in different ways to ensure that my daughter understands the work as you go along. You have been friendly and easy to talk to. A pleasure to deal with!
From Angela
Very good tuition for my daughter studying GCSE maths and Roger has a great understanding of the areas she needs to improve - the tuition feels very focused and supportive. There is definite improvement in my daughter's understanding, confidence and enjoyment of the subject, and her results are improving.
From Sarah
We are very happy with the progress Jess is making under your tutelage. You are very flexible and patient and it really helps that you are able to cover all three of her A level subjects not just Chemistry. The work you did with her on Friday really helped her in her mock Maths exam today and I think generally you are finding the holes in her knowledge across the subjects and filling the **Web Address Removed** helps that you are happy to consolidate the work she does at school. We are very happy with her progress and remain hopeful that with your help she will achieve the necessary grades to get her to medical school. Many thanks.
Thank you for your comments Sarah
From Hannah
Roger is an excellent tutor who conducts himself in a very professional dedicated manner. I would definitely recommend him as a tutor for future students in the subjects that he offers tution in.
Thank you
From Julian
I often read tutor profiles and school websites and wonder about whether the writers genuinely mean what they say. Roger says he believes in developing the self-esteem of his pupils, and their self belief in what they can achieve. This is true. It is what we most wanted for our son, when our own efforts no longer seemed adequate. Roger has done a great job of restoring our son’s confidence when it had hit an all-time low. Roger also says he loves to teach – he undoubtedly does! He is a passionately enthusiastic teacher who never wants to stop at the end of a session, and his enthusiasm for his subjects is infectious and is just what our son needed.
Thank you Julian and Elizabeth… I know Josh will go from strength to strength
Roger
From Sara
Roger is an excellent tutor, who rapidly built a positive and encouraging working relationship with my son. We were looking for a tutor who could help with accelerated learning of Maths A Level material. Roger took up the challenge and proved to be extremely knowledgeable and experienced. He is a superb teacher and my son enjoyed his lessons. We were fortunate to find Roger and I am very happy to recommend him.
From Catherine
Roger is currently tutoring my son (Maths and Physics), who had a car accident in his gap year and suffered a head injury. I cannot praise Roger enough for his gentle, encouraging and inspiring lessons which always have an element of fun and my son thoroughly enjoys. Roger has motivated and given Miles confidence to prepare him for his university place and make it a reality. Thank you Roger.
From Amelia
Roger, was a great help with my brothers they both came out feeling more confident about approaching exams. He managed to help both brothers in various aspects, and I highly recommend him.
From Robert
Very happy with the progress Ryan has made over the past few months. His grades have improved, he has been moved into the top class for maths at school and his attitude towards maths has changed from finding the subject intimidating to feeling a lot more confident. Ryan has a much better appreciation of how to tackle the questions and lay out his answers so that his approach to tests is more targeted and considered. Ryan enjoys his weekly sessions and we look forward to further improvements in Ryan's maths in the future. Thank you Roger, much appreciated!
From Phillipa
Roger is an excellent tutor. He has been helping my daughter (15, doing GCSE's) in Spanish and the sciences. He is very patient, knowledgeable and helpful. There seems to be no end to what he can do and teach. Her Spanish has really improved and he has been helping her with science topics she is not sure about. He comes to our house which is a real bonus.
From Silvia
I couldn't find a better tutor for my son , a tutor that is able to combine all the knowledge in such a fun way. I was looking for support with Maths and Physics but we got so much more. My son is more and more interested in other sciences as well .I don't know what he will decide to be when he gets older but one thing I am sure, with Roger on our side the sky is the limit. I am very grateful for all the help we receive from him and I can feel that a lot of pressure is lifted from my shoulders. We thank you so much Roger.
Thank you for your comments
From Cynthia
Roger is a very gentle and dedicated tutor. He goes an extra mile to help and he is a great motivator. Our son had gained a lot from him. I highly recommend him.
From Margaret
Roger has been instrumental in restoring the confidence in my grandson. A very caring gentleman.
From Shaheen
As we progress with lessons for my son, I sense the commitment & dedication coming through in your teaching sessions
From Tom
Roger tutored my son for his AS Chemistry and was extremely helpful and kind. He is very knowledgeable about his subjects and passed his enthusiasm on to my son who became very keen to learn and enjoyed the subject a lot. His confidence grew as a result of Roger's lessons. Thank you Roger for everything you have done for Tom.
From Karl
Roger has helped my daughter rediscover her appetite for learning after a very disruptive educational period at her school. The results are still to come but she has regained her confidence that she will achieve her A-level exam grades that she needs.
From Vicky
Roger has been providing tutoring for my Son covering A'level Maths and Chemistry. I would not hesitate recommending Roger as a Tutor, this is the first time I have seen my son engaged in what he is learning and on chatting with him this is the first time he has actually understood what he is being taught and is enjoying it. Roger sets a clear plan and is constantly checking understanding with structured homework outside the tutor session. If you are reading this review and considering contacting Roger then do not hesitate. This was one of the best decisions I have made with regard to my sons education.
From Juliet
We have successfully met up and my twin daughters found the session very useful. Roger has a great approach and they feel confident that he will be able to provide them useful support in the year leading up to their iGCSEs.
From Nancy
Very quick replies for help for my son. First session booked for later this week.
From Michele
Roger has been working with my daughters for a few sessions now and he has helped to build their confidence and understanding in maths in preparation for their maths GCSE. He has identified where they have had gaps in their learning and through great explanation and practise they are becoming much more competent. I hear a good deal of comments such as 'Oh, I get it now! Just shows what good teaching can do!
From Paul
Roger is an excellent tutor, and we are very pleased indeed with the impact he's had on our children's progress in maths. They have both made demonstrable and significant progress in the time since Roger has been tutoring them, and are beginning to perform consistently to their potential. The sessions are enjoyable and well-paced. Roger is also excellent at providing feedback to the children and to us as parents, and engages very positively with the school curriculum. The amount of additional work is also well-judged. We feel very confident with the approach he's taking - helping the children engage positively with maths, think more broadly, and develop a wide range of skills and techniques. Overall, very happy.
From Beverley
He has engaged with my daughter very quickly. She finds his style of teaching easy to follow and feels that topic areas are becoming much clearer
From Karen
Cannot recommend enough. My 15 yr old just was unable to concentrate and focus on his subjects . Roger has a unique ability to teach his pupils to focus and absorb . My son went from strength to strength in a matter of weeks . I am sure without him his gcse grades would have been very poor.
Thank you for your feedback Karen, it was a pleasure to be able to help your son L because I know he has the potential.
Roger Berke-
