Marlborough Tutors

"Des first tutored me in history for my AQA Modern British History A-level, which has helped me secure a comfortable “A” grade. He later advised me on research techniques and proof-read my theology essays throughout my BA, which also resulted in consistent 1:1 marks and showed Des has an excellent understanding and contextual knowledge of human sciences that are on the more general side of sociology, as well as specific knowledge of analytic philosophy, which came in very handy for my degree... Des has offered very helpful advice on reading material relating to my dissertation, including a broad range of works on postmodernism which hadn’t been suggested at Durham University. Through proof-reading and editing my extra-curricular work and offering comments on non-fiction essays and short fiction, Des has helped me secure over thirteen paid professional publications in three years."

"John has provided great support for my son over the past year, and ensured that he has more than achieved his estimated grades. He has been reliable and quick to respond to phone calls and mails. His vast experience of the subject and his years of teaching shine through, especially in the way he relates to teenagers. Thank you"
