From Jacqueline (5/5): (GCSE Maths) Derek is an excellent tutor all round so I would rate him 110%. My son said he was very patient with him which certainly helped while learning physics. Derek is very professional in his work and he knows and understands the child's needs so I have no hesitation in highly recommending Derek as a tutor and I wish him well. Thank you Derek from Luke and myself.

From David (5/5): (GCSE Physics)

From Edward (4/5): (A-Level Maths)

From Deborah (5/5): (Primary Maths) I find Derek to be professional and reassuring in his dealings with me and my daughter. Home tutoring is not a cheap option, so when my daughter stands in the driveway waiting for Derek to arrive and she is sad that the lesson ends, I know I have the right person for the task ahead. I recommend Derek very highly.

From Richard (5/5): (GCSE Combined Science)

From Suzanna (5/5): (A-Level Physics) Derek seems very professional with a relaxed manner when tutoring my son Lincoln. Lincoln gets on well with him, and now after the third lesson is starting to understand more and finding Derek a great help, Derek also offers good advise when needed, which Lincoln seems to take on board, I would recomend Derek as a Tutor.Lincoln is currently studing AS Physics, and we will possibly use Derek next year to help with his AS Maths.

From Simon (5/5): (A-Level Physics) Derek has been very efficient and prompt in replying to e-mails when we made contact through the First Tutors site.

He has got on well with Matthew and appears to have established a good rapport - Derek has a nice, calm approach and teaching style. Derek takes time to check and ensure that Matthew undertands each new topic and has the underpinning knowledge to support the next stage of learning. He has quickly identified the areas where Matthew needs additional support and has organised the teaching plan around these.

Many thanks, Derek. Simon and Tracey Powell
