Chris is an incredible tutor. He helped my son during the last couple of months for his GCSE English lit and language. My son looked forward to the lessons, they were never a chore, because Chris made them so engaging. The lessons seemed the perfect balance of making him work hard, but not switching him off. Chris tailored each lesson to my son`s needs and even created papers based on my son`s football interests to inspire him. The feedback from my son was "That was the best lesson ever". Chris sent work to do before the lesson, and followed up with feedback after the lesson so my son was learning all week in-between the sessions. Chris went over and above, and I only hope Chris is still tutoring when son number 2 is doing his exams! Thank you so much Chris.

Chris provided tuition for GCSE English Language and Literature and based on our experience I would highly recommend him. His in depth knowledge of the curriculum and exam technique enabled him to be very flexible and personalise each session, with a focus on what my son needed. He also provided feedback in a very constructive way, highlighting what was done well and giving suggestions for improvements.
