While far from challenging Simon capabilities, we have decided to stop the tutoring, since from my perspective, he does not possess the pedagogical approach and the methodology that I was looking for. Nevertheless, the completed classes were at a decent level and my son understood the topics covered.
From TB
Simon has been an excellent tutor for my son’s GCSE sciences – Chemistry, Physics and Biology. Simon has significantly boosted my son’s confidence and knowledge. My son thoroughly enjoys his teaching and Simon provides valuable resources and personalised support. Highly recommended!
From Ildiko
Simon was excellent at helping my Y9 daughter to tackle harder questions and preparing her for her end of year exam. He is calm, has heaps of patience, we would highly recommend him.
From Kelly
Simon has been a fantastic tutor for my son. My son had lost his confidence and began to really dislike maths but since he started sessions with Simon he has hugely grown in confidence and enjoys the subject so much that he has chosen to do it as an A level. Many thanks to Simon, we would highly recommend him.
From Shanth
Interactive, flexible, and friendly to the student and help them to understand easily.
From Rhiannon
My daughter has only had a few lessons with Simon, but she has already grown in confidence. Simon plans lessons around what she feels she needs to learn and has been adaptable, accommodating & encouraging. He takes his time to ensure she understands topics before moving on and sets work in between lessons, so she is constantly learning. Many thanks Simon, great first impression!
From Ronan
I engaged Simon to help me prepare for a commercial airline aptitude assessment as I have always struggled with maths under exam conditions. Simon was flexible, patient, proactive and attentive in helping me prepare. He showed me ways to calmly and simply work through the types of problems I could expect and in doing so gave me the confidence I needed. He even spent his own time writing me two separate maths and physics question papers so I could practice. I cannot recommend Simon enough as a tutor, you will be in very good hands. Thanks Simon.
From Ken
Isaac (age 15) enjoys Simons's tutoring and feels confident in asking him questions. He has recently been moved up a math set so something has improved!
From Farida
Simon has been absolutely amazing with my son. Despite only contacting Simon five weeks before his GCSES start he has been able to help my sons confidence with the more problematic questions on paper one and two. Simon is very professional and connects really well with my son. He is really flexible and happy to be lead by whatever topic my sons wants to cover during their session.
From Junior
From Kirstine
My son struggled with motivation during GCSEs but was keen to regain his enthusiasm for science and work towards A-levels. Simon worked with my son to understand his current knowledge levels and explain the concepts and principles that are key to A-level physics. He laid down clear expectations for my son and took time to share his passion for the subject.
The difference in my son’s outlook towards his education and future, was notable, even after only a few weeks.
Simon also made time to discuss my son’s hopes for the future and share some sound advice to help keep him on the right track. I’d can’t recommend him highly enough.
From Clare
Simon has been a great support to my son as a tutor and really helped to build his confidence as he transitioned from GCSE to A Level Maths.
From Loranne
My son has had lessons in both A'Level Maths and A'Level Physics since August 2020. Simon is very passionate about these two subjects and he has a way of explaining complex concepts in simple and straightforward terms. He is very punctual and shows interest in our son's progress. My son really enjoys his lessons with Simon and we look forward to continuing these lessons with him.
From Eunice
My daughter is definitely benefiting from Simon's sound knowledge. She feels more confident with topics covered even after a couple of sessions.
From Anna
Simon is great teacher with deep knowledge and passion for Maths, Physics and Chemistry. My son who is currently in year 10, due to school not recognizing his needs, from achieving above average in Primary School, became poor student. Thanks to Simon friendliness and approachability, in only few weeks Eryk has improved his knowledge and skills in those subjects. We are so happy with Simon's good student-teacher collaboration skills that we will be increasing weekly hours. I do believe that thanks to Simon's help my son will pass his GCSE with excellent result next year. Thank you Simon!
From Lisa
Simon has been tutoring me for three weeks and I am very happy with Simon’s professional and relaxed way of breaking down information in order for me to understand the complexity of chemistry and physics. His teaching skills are invaluable and he makes the lesson fun and easy to understand especially at GCSE level. Thank you Simon. I really look forward to your lesson and you have taught me so much in just three weeks!!
From Stacey
My son has had a few lessons with Simon so far and feels that he explains everything thoroughly in detail. Simon also questions his understanding and doesn’t take it at face value when my son states he understands a particular area. Very happy with the tutoring so far.
From Oliver
Very efficient and accommodating - after just 3 sessions improvements can be seen
From Margarita
Simon has been incredibly patient, encouraging and understanding throughout my time being tutored by him. Without him I wouldn't be half as confident in my knowledge as I am now.
From Aine
I find that his tutorials have a very good structure, starting with checking knowledge on a topic, followed by an exam question together and then an independent one. He is very patient and explains things at a pace suitable for the student. He also works through practice questions in his own time to show his methods when helping me to understand a topic.
From Marion
Pleasant, extremely helpful and informative. Would highly recommend.
From Miss E
Very welcoming and patient . He was able to put my daugther at ease very quickly and explained the subject in plain language. Would recommend highly Simon
