Chris's tutoring allowed me to gain confidence and realization in myself. Using understandable and valuable techniques in essay planning and writing which I used to pass my A Levels and continue to use at University!
A level English LiteratureI am incredibly grateful for Chris's tutoring over the last year... Chris has helped me immensely with both English Language and Literature, offering an excellent balance of technical expertise, patience and support... His good humour is what I believe to be a defining factor to his teaching excellence, since it allowed me to be instantly comfortable with him. I genuinely owe Chris a lot and I believe he is a leading factor to my final A*s in both English exams. I cannot recommend Chris highly enough...
Chris quickly identified my son's weak areas and systematically worked with him in improving all aspects of his language skills...
which turned out to be a great learning experience. It is needless to say that my son couldn't have achieved 'A' grades in both GCSE English language and Literature subjects without the professional tutoring delivered by Chris. We can't thank Chris enough for giving us much more than what we asked for. GCSE English Language and Literature.Chris's tutoring allowed me to gain confidence and realization in myself. Understandable and valuable techniques in essay planning and writing which I used to pass my A Levels and continue to use at University!
A level English LiteratureI thoroughly enjoyed every lesson that I had with Chris and my only regret is that I had to finish due to other commitments. He takes great interest in his students teaching with a non-judgemental approach, with bags of creativity, energy and passion for his subjects. I felt valued, understood and constantly encouraged and praised. Adult Learner, English Language and Literature.
Really nice person, my girls think he's cool and are enjoying learning time with him. KS2 and KS3 English and Mathematics.
Thank you so much for helping our son. His teachers predicted B's at GCSE so you can imagine his surprise and delight when he got A*s in both GCSE English papers – not to mention the confidence boost. I know this was only achieved because of your teaching skills, patience, understanding & getting to know exactly how he ticked and what worked for him. GCSE English and English Language and Literature,
Thank you so much for tutoring my son in KS3 English this year. You have given him much more confidence and his results have greatly improved. Best of all, he has really enjoyed coming to the sessions, so the improvement hasn't been gained at the cost of losing his love of reading and writing. KS3 English Language and Literature.
Chris is brilliant. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for extra tuition. GCSE English Language, English Literature and Maths.
Chris... not only gave my son the technical knowledge on the areas he found difficult he showed him he was capable and built his confidence no end. Chris .. really cares about his students and that was very important to me.
I can't recommend Chris highly enough, he obviously knows his subjects and understands how to engage with students so they understand and learn which means they go into the exam in a position where they can do their absolute best. GCSE Maths.View more recommendations
