Tim was a superb tutor who explained concepts clearly, built confidence and transformed my brother's understanding of Maths and preparation for A level. It was apparently the first time Tim had taught a pupil who made the leap from foundation tier at GCSE to the full A level in maths but my brother made amazing leaps of progress with Tim's help. We shall always be grateful for Tim's help. He was very professional in keeping me informed about my brother's progress and in sending homework and occasional reports on progress and I believe he has made a real difference to a young person's chance of achieving his academic and life goals.
Thanks Louise for your comments. It was an absolute pleasure to teach Raymond and you have been very supportive in this process. Raymond has a special passion and enthusiasm for A-level Mathematics. Its been fabulous to see his growth and progress. I both relish and will miss teaching Raymond. I wish him every success in his further studies.Its absolultely superb he secured his first choice place at University.

Although Tim got on well with my son we felt that the tuition style did not suit him. Tim used white board so no notes to go over were not available to him. In fact whilst with Tim his grades went down. There were however some parts that James was taught that were useful at times. Although no homework set. Always told he was an A grade student but this was not to be realised. We felt that the new curriculum in maths there was lack of understanding here. Overall to charge £40 an hour was not an investment in our sons education. We have now found another tutor.
Dear Vanessa Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback.
I am sorry that my tuition style did not suit James. I wish you or James had communicated any of these concerns whilst I was teaching James. I would happily have made any changes necessary to suit. I do provide notes and homework where this is appropriate or requested.
James has great potential and flare for Mathematics. I wish him every success in his exams and future.
Tim

'When Maria started with Tim her confidence and understanding needed to improve. He quickly developed a very positive working relationship which had an impact on her understanding of Mathematics which directly helped her in lessons and with school assessments. She was at the point of being asked to take Foundation Mathematics but with Tim's help a significant improvement was seen which resulted in her being a secure Higher student. Maria intends taking business studies with mathematics at A-level. We feel she is well on her way to building the solid foundations for fantastic GCSE success in Mathematics and beyond to A-level. We truly wouldn't know what to do without Tim's great support and also tremendous sense of humour' Thank you so much Tim for all your help and support. Kind regards Thompsons

If you're looking to improve your maths skill, build your confidence and feel supported through your studies, Tim is the tutor for you! His friendly approach alongside his expert knowledge will help you to work hard to achieve the grade you deserve. I worked with Tim, weekly, for 5 months and I could not recommend him more.
Hi Izzy It was great teaching you. I was delighted to help with both your GCSE Maths and support you with the Numeracy Teaching Skills test which you nailed.
From Neeshe
Tim has been tutoring our son since October 2017 in the lead up to the A level exams. His continued support and guidance has been fantastic and we really feel that he has given our son an excellent boost at this stressful time. Thank you so much Tim for what you have done so far!
From Bethany
Couldn’t organise a date, wanted to start ASAP but Tim wasn’t available. Didn’t get a chance to start tutoring so can’t comment on this.
Hi Bethany Thanks for the feedback.
I’m sorry that we couldn’t arrange a time for tutoring. February is generally a busy time as people are starting to prepare for exams after mock exams.
If I can be any help with tutoring in the future, please let me know.
From Margaret
We are very pleased with the positive effect Tim has had on our son's confidence and abilities in Maths. From the very first session Tim created an environment whereby my shy son has felt comfortable to ask questions and bring topics which he found difficult to grasp in lesson. Although Tim's initial assessment identified the ideal focus of their work together he has continued to be flexible with what they work on in each session and ensure they keep returning to his key goal, namely answering exam questions. We know Cameron is, at times, a reluctant student however, Tim's warmth and humour seems to lift Cameron's spirits and allow him to believe in own abilities. Thank you, Tim.
From Liz
I have just achieved a B in A level maths. I got a D in my mocks at Christmas but 3 months of tuition with Tim gave me great confidence and really improved my understanding. I would recommend Tim to anyone who wants to make the most of their potential in Maths.
From Gill
We feel very lucky to have found Tim. Tim is supportive, encouraging and has lots of empathy. Although we have only had a few lessons so far, Tim seems to be just the right person for my grandson, who was getting demotivated and falling behind with his maths at school. As a result, we feel much more positive about his chances of success in maths at school.
From Jane
Tim quickly developed a positive working relationship with Tom, our son. His excellent subject knowledge and clear explanations have boosted Tom’s confidence and accuracy in Mathematics. This has resulted in dramatic improvements in his grades. Thom has gone from an E to a B in just 6 weeks. We are confident that with Tim’s support Tom will be able to push on to an A and then an A* in Year 13.
