Pete really knows his stuff and teaches in a relaxed, cheerful style. He has helped my child improve in her A level mathematics and she really enjoys learning from him.

I found Pete on the tutor hunt website based on the reviews that others had left and I was not disappointed. My son has only had 5 weekly tutor sessions for A level Maths and Physics (1 hour for each subject) and already we are seeing a difference in test results and my son`s knowledge and confidence in both subjects. Pete is lead by need, providing targeted support as and when it arises, a particular topic to fill gaps in knowledge, revision work for tests and help with homework. Pete also provides work for inbetween sessions which is lead by my son, he can do as much or as little as he needs to depending on what other school work he has. My son`s feedback is that Pete teaches and explains through example and goes at a pace he can keep up with, he is able to grasp concepts much easier than in the classroom where he doesn`t feel able to ask for something to be repeated or explained again. We are delighted with our son`s progress so far, both academically and emotionally. We feel Pete has been able to tailor his tutoring to meet our son`s needs.

Tutors Response :

Thanks Julia for the positive feedback. It is a pleasure to tutor your son. It`s been great to see him making good progress, and he deserves credit for all his hard work. I look forward to continuing our work together. With kind regards, Pete.

Really helpful, put my child at ease and quickly established where they were up to. Clear explanations and checking understanding whilst working through content and questions. Well prepared and suggested work to be done before next session. Clear emails updating what was next and so on. Highly recommended

I contacted Pete in July 2021, about A Level Physics tutoring for my daughter, who was just finishing Year 12. She was struggling with the demands of Physics A Level, and seemed to have lost her grasp and understanding of the subject - underperforming to such an extent, that she gained a Grade E in the A Level mock exam. Pete worked with my daughter during the Summer holidays, and into September 2021. Two months after first hiring Pete, my daughter re-sat the Physics mock exam, and gained a Grade C! She is continuing her sessions with Pete until the end of Year 13. Her confidence in Physics has returned, and she says Pete makes the subject easy to understand in the way he delivers his tutoring. Pete is always punctual and professional. I am so pleased I found a tutor of this calibre, and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him to anyone looking for a tutor.

Tutors Response :

Thanks Joanne for your positive feedback. It is a pleasure to work with your daughter and to see her doing so well. As ever I continue to strive to deliver the best possible results for you both. With best regards, Pete.

Pete tutored both our sons for a number of weeks. His professionalism, planning and thoughtful ideas to help engage them was commendable. Pete not only put in time to the lessons but also came up with plans for the following sessions in advance and took time to understand each child without ever adding pressure. We would highly recommend Pete

Tutors Response :

Thanks Kate for your positive feedback. It was a pleasure to meet you all and to work with you. Wishing you every success, Pete.

Pete has been tutoring my Grandson for 10 months both before and during the COVID crisis. My Grandson knew that A-level Maths would stretch him but Pete has been a tremendous help in developing his skills and confidence. He has enjoyed working with Pete who was totally reliable and always positive and enthusiastic whether in person or on-line. We would strongly recommend Pete to anyone looking for a maths tutor.

My experience with Pete was invaluable to both my skills and my confidence. I was able to ask questions I was too embarrassed to ask in class and more! Our sessions were always at just the right pace, in the several months of maths and physics tuition I had, I didn’t feel rushed or uncomfortable once; unlike some teachers and tutors I’ve had in the past, Pete is very approachable, friendly can kind. Without discrediting my independent efforts, he helped me go from scraping Bs at the start of year 13 to 1 mark (less than 1%) short of an A just before lockdown. I cannot recommend him enough!

Tutors Response :

Thank you Mark for your positive feedback. It was great to see you growing in confidence and really starting to show your intelligent and keen enquiring mind, over the time of our tuition. You are a bright and hard working young person; I am confident you will do very well. It was a pleasure working with you and helping you along, and I wish you every success for the future. With kindest regards, Pete.

We had an excellent experience with Pete for A level physics tuition - unfortunately cut short when A levels were cancelled. My daughter gained considerably in confidence in her ability with just a few sessions and her teacher noticed the improvement. He has an in depth knowledge of the syllabus and was able to tailor the lessons to her needs. I thoroughly recommend him.

Tutors Response :

Thank you Karen for your positive feedback. It was a pleasure working with your daughter. She worked hard and clearly responded well to the tuition. I`m only sorry I didn`t have longer to help Tilly more, but I`m glad the short time we had was beneficial. Tilly is a bright and thoughtful young lady. I`m sure things will work out well for her. Wishing you every success. With kind regards, Pete

Pete is a great tutor. He has a very pleasant way about him. He quickly assessed our son ability and was honest with us in where he was. He then created a structured learning package including additional study work in prep for the next session. All of this has helped our son achieve the GCSE A grade that he wanted. Whilst our initial thoughts were to have a tutor just to help our son achieve his GCSE grade, we have kept Pete on to assist our son`s study in his A-level subjects also and it is really accelerating his learning. Highly recommended.

Tutors Response :

Thank you Lee for your positive feedback. I am delighted that things are going so well. It is a pleasure working with your son. He has worked hard and clearly responded well to the tuition. He deserves the credit for his great results. As always I will continue to strive to keep the highest professional standards and to achieve the best possible results for you. With kind regards, Pete

Pete was a great support to my daughter as a maths tutor over the last 6 months of her GCSE course, from Feb to June this year. Having moved from Foundation to the Higher paper as late as February, she was nervous about the course content she had missed and needed to catch up, but Pete came in, encouraged her and planned where her focus was needed to help her achieve a great result. She achieved a 6 so she is delighted and gets to study her chosen sciences at A level. Really recommend Pete; reliable, calm and offers loads of follow up and support, after the lesson has finished, to ensure my daughter had the tools to also make best use of the rest of the week. Many thanks Pete appreciate all your efforts. Stella

Tutors Response :

Thank you Stella for your positive feedback. It was a pleasure working with your daughter and I am delighted that things went so well. She worked hard and richly deserves her great result. I wish you every success with your future studies. With kind regards, Pete.

I would highly recommend Pete as a tutor. Our daughter has struggled with aspects of the Maths GCSE curriculum, but we have noticed that her confidence has improved greatly since being tutored by Pete, to the extent that her attainment level has increased from a GCSE level 4 to a level 6 in a matter of weeks.
Pete is also very friendly, punctual and reliable - highly recommended!

Peter has tutored my son for over the last year and has proven an excellent tutor. My son`s confidence, interest and grades have all increased during that time. Peter is professional, lessons are well prepared and he puts my son at ease with his approachable manner.

My daughters confidence has grown considerably In the comparatively short period of time that Peter has been her tutor. All school work done to date has been reviewed and reinforced, relevant homework is given. A wining combination of encouragement and a high standard of teaching. My daughter is already seeing a positive pay off for her hard work and has gone from a D grade to a high B at AS 1 level maths.Thank you Peter!
