From Claire (3/5): Jan was very quick to communicate with us and share his availability. He was also very forthcoming with study material. My daughter had one tutorial with him but she and I felt that his style of tutoring doesn't fit her needs. And we would rather look for someone else.

Reply from: Jan: Claire,

It was a pleasure to tutor your daughter for one session. It surely takes more than one session to understand and appreciate what we tutors do to simplify study material to cater for every ability. I wish you success in finding the right tutor.

From Mrs (5/5): Jan has worked really hard to support my son, working remotely, establishing a good professional relationship with us both from the start & tutoring with an array of appropriate Higher Maths IB materials.

It is an honour and joy to tutor Stan. He is very deliberate in his attitude to get the work done properly, which I appreciate very much. Stan learns fast and retains the knowledge well.

Together we will work to ensure he achieves better results. Thank you for allowing me to tutor him.
