I highly recommend Basil: he is highly professional, punctual & extremely polite and comes fully prepared. Due to illness our daughter had to miss a lot of school and Basil has been able to supplement the lost classes admirably. His understanding of the subjects (GCSE double science)is excellent as has been his ability to explain/teach those subjects while building a great working relationship with our daughter.

Basil has been great. He is very inventive in the way he teaches, finding fun and interesting ways to approach the subject. My daughter has really enjoyed her lessons with him. He has also been very reliable.

Basil was an excellent tutor and helped my son prepare for his GCSEs in science. He helped him understand all three subjects and built up his confidence, improving his grades dramatically and helping him achieve great results. He was always very dedicated and reliable, but also someone my son enjoyed being taught by. We would definitely highly recommend him.
