From Angela (5/5): (Secondary Latin) Tom gave my son 3 intensive lessons over a 5 day period. His teaching methods are nothing short of fantastic. Thanks to Tom's intensive work Alex's understanding of Latin grammar and structure has come on leaps and bounds and he now has a confidence with Latin translation he did not have before. We are very grateful to Tom for all his efforts, he is a great teacher.

From Caroline (5/5): (Secondary Latin) Tom is doing an excellent job, helping my son in Latin and also in maths. After only a couple of sessions my son has much more confidence and has already been praised by his Latin teacher for his improvement. More importantly my son is really enjoying the sessions with Tom who is keeping him engaged and enthused.

From Joanne (5/5): (Secondary Latin) Tom has spent two mornings helping my son with his Latin. He arrived on time and was very well prepared. According to the pupil himself, the lessons have been really helpful and I was actually thanked for organising them. 'Latin is making sense' he says. Tom pulls no punches in addressing the weak areas of the language, helping my son to understand that at the end of the day, only the student can do the necessary hard work.

From Susan (5/5): (GCSE German) Tom has relatad well to my grandson and he has made real progress in his understanding and knowledge. He was a great find.

My grandson has now taken his German GCSE. I know that without Tom's tuition, he could have taken the attitude that there was no point in him doing the exam. Tom proved himself to be a very able tutor, giving my grandson the confidence and knowledge that enabled him to take the exams; feeling much better prepared. As a retired teacher I recognise in him the skills that make a good teacher. His preparation was well thought out, his relationship with his pupil was friendly, but firm; recognising that my grandson had a negative attitude to the subject, he dealt with this in a sensible way that did not leave him feeling patronised. A very professional approach.

From Jacquie (5/5): (Secondary Latin) Tom was very patient and encouraging. He really helped my son grasp the basics which he was struggling with.
