Simon taught my grandson basic GCSC Maths . He showed excellent professionalism and explained the techniques of solving sums very well. My grandson became confident in the subject and we wish to continue with him throughout his GCSC. Best wishes. Dr. Ghani

Simon has really helped my son to progress. He was finding some areas of the subject difficult to grasp and Simon was able to tutor him through each step. He explains the work really clearly and ensures that by the end of the session concepts have been completely understood.
Simon has a calm approach and his teaching is highly effective. My daughter was struggling with Maths in class. Since having lessons with Simon it has really helped her to keep up and achieve consistently good marks. Simon is very reliable with lesson times and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.
Simon has taught my son since Year 8 when he became bored and confused by a particular teacher who caused him to doubt his Maths ability and switch off from the teaching which meant he fell to the bottom of his set. Simon has renewed my son’s confidence in his Maths as well as supporting him through the increasingly difficult content - he is back near the top of his set as he prepares to sit his GCSEs.
Simon has tutored our son through his GCSE and now A level maths, and we are very happy to write this reference.
He quickly built a rapport and then a working relationship. He is engaging, trustworthy, reliable and focused, being aware of all the relevant aspects of the courses. This culminated in a high grade at GCSE.
We have continued to engage Simon's services through A level and are more than happy to recommend him both to you and to any potential, future clients.Simon has been tutoring my 17 year old daughter who is taking A level maths at Colyton grammar school.
I can highly recommend Simon , his level of expertise is excellent and lessons are pre planned each week by Simon and my daughter to ensure the areas of work needed are covered.
My daughter has found this extra input essential to keep her up to speed with this subject .
Simon is very flexible to our needs and I am very happy that my daughter is being supported by him .Simon initially came to our house to tutor our son. He was a very good tutor who helped our son a great deal. Therefore, when Simon moved areas, we set up online tutorials with Simon. We are still continuing with these now for our sons A-levels. I would recommend Simon.
Thank you for all your help this year with maths for our daughter her confidence has grown massively in the subject and has now moved up a set all thanks to you making it fun and making learning the subject more enjoyable really grateful wish you lots more success.
Highly recommend. My 14 year old daughter is now happy learning Maths - say no more!
Simon makes learning maths fun using a variety of approaches that kids love. Reliable and friendly cant recommend enough.
Simon's home tuition has helped my 11 year old daughter immensely. From being in a bottom maths group through lack of confidence and just complete blind panic when the subject was raised she has just completed her SATs with a level 5 result and whilst she's never going to love maths Simon has shown her and given her the confidence to know she can do it! He's patient, thoroughly supportive, pointing out only the positives. I am in no doubt that she would not have achieved this level without him!
Simon has helped our son to gain more confidence in maths. He is doing much better at school now thanks to the extra tuition. Thank you for making maths fun and enjoyable!
Just wanted to say a massive thank you to you for all you have done for my daughter with her Maths a level 5 is fantastic and that's down to you for teaching her and her for listening great teamwork ðŸ‘ðŸ‘
Simon really helped my son with his GCSE maths. He was great at explaining and instilling confidence and we can't thank him enough after receiving his results last week. I would recommend Simon without hesitation to anyone who needs a maths tutor.
Just want to say a big thankyou Simon for all the help you have given Jake over the past year. He has always been well below average in his maths but this year he got a 4B in his SATS which he is so happy with as being bang on average. You have really helped him understand things better and he always looks forward to your lessons. Jake has always struggled with his school work and I think this will give him a big boost. Thankyou again and will always recommend you to people.
We can't praise you enough, your tuition took Ed from getting u in mocks to an overall B at AS level it was combined of two A marks and a C. He most certainly couldn't of done it without you, look forward to seeing you again in the new term. Thank you.
Just had the most amazing news. I have passed my Maths GCSE. I couldn't have done it without Simon's lessons. Thank you so much for your support Simon. It's a new start to my career and continual professional development. Outstanding lessons.
