Excellent teaching style which my daughter found very helpful and was fully engaged. Due to financial constraints we had to cut lessons short as we had to pay for tuition for subjects that my daughter was struggling in more than English. Hopefully will definitely like to resume when circumstances improve.

Timothy taught our daughter English and Drama for GCSE when she came out of the school system in year 11. His patient and thorough approach has resulted in her achieving grades 8 & 9 which we are absolutely thrilled about. We have no hesitation in recommending Timothy to anyone looking for an English or Drama tutor.

Timothy really helped our son re-engage with and enjoy the subject again. He reignited his interest and motivation to do well, helping him exceed his predicted grades and secure a place at his top-choice university. We’re so grateful for all the hard work, encouragement, and belief you gave him. It made such a difference to his confidence and drive.
