Parents' comments

"I was so lucky, as a mature student having to pass GCSE Mathematics, to have found Peter.  Thanks to his knowledge of the subject, his teaching skills, and above all patience and calmness, I passed.  Maths has always been a difficult subject for me, but Peter always put me at ease about asking him to explain something over and over again.

When my daughter was having problems keeping up in maths at secondary school, did not understand the explanations given in class, and was rapidly losing confidence and self-esteem, I called on Peter.  Thanks to him she gained an A* in statistics in year nine and a grade A in her GCSE Mathematics this year.  She was also able to ask Peter for help with Chemistry and Physics when needed and this was an immense help in her achieving an A grade in Additional Science.

Peter is a highly professional and conscientious tutor.  I would never have passed GCSE Mathematics without his tuition and I am immensely grateful to Peter for helping my daughter realise her full potential and restoring her confidence.  Therefore, I have no hesitation in highly recommending Peter for private tuition."

"When our son was in his second year he lacked confidence in maths and knew that he wasn’t achieving his full potential. He was so concerned, and unhappy, that he asked us if he could have extra help. Luckily we found Peter and started individual tuition to initially get him through this difficult patch. Peter’s patient and calm manner put our son at ease and the one-to-one teaching meant that he was able to ask questions freely, sorting out any problems and misunderstandings that he had. Peter was also able to help with physics and chemistry as well – an added bonus and our son’s increased understanding and confidence in maths also meant that he got the most from his classroom lessons. Our son enjoyed and benefited so much from Peter’s lessons that he wanted to continue! This he did and with his examinations at GCSE and A level he achieved A*s in all his maths and science subjects. We therefore have no hesitation in highly recommending Peter for private tuition."

"I am so happy!" These are words I didn't ever think I'd hear from my son when he received his maths GCSE result, but I did. Working for a year with Peter was fundamental to this outcome. My son struggled with maths, in part due to dyslexia, but Peter helped my son recognise what he did know before helping him to fill in the gaps. All this he did in a hugely supportive, reassuring and motivating manner, ensuring his student believed in himself at all times. I highly recommend Peter.

Peter is simply an outstanding teacher! Some teachers leave an unforgettable mark on their students and Peter is definitely one of these for us. My daughter, having moved schools many times, was struggling with Maths and Chemistry, so I took her out of school a few months before GCSE's to be taught by Peter - and he really changed her whole attitude towards those subjects. His patient and interesting explanations have inspired her with new confidence and interest, so much so that now she plans to take Chemistry A-level. I can't recommend Peter more highly.

"We found Peter to be a very calm, patient, understanding and reliable tutor. Instilling confidence, our daughter felt well prepared for her exam, and achieved the grade she required. We would recommend Peter as an excellent Tutor."
