Ken boosted my confidence and taught me topics I found difficult at school. He gave me excellent hints for sitting Highers. I wish I had been tutored sooner as his teaching is easy to follow - Andrew

Matthew was positive about Maths for the first time in his life and seemed to enjoy and respond to the lessons. Practical advice given to me as a parent, including seemingly simple advice on times tables, was effective. Very professional and trustworthy. It's a shame we never managed to bump grades to a 4, but I am sure that is because Matthew had so few lessons - Dr Young, parent

I would just like to thank you very much for helping me pass my Higher English. Going from a Band 9 fail to a C was a great achievement and I very much doubt I would have managed it without you. Although it was not the B you had hoped for, I was happy with my C. Thank you very much again! - Hayley Forson
