Testimonials:

Elsa & Samantha, student and parent

‘I am very lucky to have had Freddie teach me English and maths while in year 5 at school. For English, we went beyond the syllabus, looking at books that he recommended. Analysing them was a real highlight as it allowed me to get deeper into the books, understand them in a different way, and uncovering new perspectives. I am David was my favourite. My creative writing has greatly improved since working with Freddie.

For maths, Freddie helped me regain my confidence, taking the subject back to the basics and making sure my foundations were solid. I have since excelled in maths and achieved 96% in my last exam.

Freddie, our tutor for maths and english, was very thoughtful and put a lot of consideration into how to approach Elsa’s sensitive nature and therefore his methodology in teaching each of the subjects. His lessons were engaging, friendly, and was very patient at all times. Freddie has managed to encourage my daughter to immerse herself into novels and think round maths problems with confidence.

We highly recommend Freddie’s insightful teaching methods and approachability when teaching children.’

Emma, parent of a GCSE science student

‘Freddie was a highly proactive tutor who really helped my son fill the gaps in his knowledge, allowing him to regain confidence in his science GCSE. He explained things clearly, getting to the root of the problems, and finding alternative ways to solve them. Through several in-person lessons, Freddie covered a range of topics across all three sciences. This not only challenged my son to think independently, but also assisted him during the revision process, creating organised notes, a revision plan, and sample paper methodologies. We couldn’t recommend him highly enough. Jasper engaged brilliantly with him and it was a pleasure to have him teach our son.’
