I look forward to working with you both further.
Thanks,
Leon

From David (/5): Leon has been working with our son to help him develop coding skills for A-Level Computer Science.
Having not studied Computer Science at GCSE, he was a little concerned that he may fall behind, but Leon has helped him with the use of videos and coding challenges that cover each topic in much greater depth than would be possible at school.
Although he has only been working with Leon for 4 months, his confidence in class has already grown and he is really enjoying the subject.
Thanks Leon

Reply from: Leon:Thanks for your excellent Feedback. It's really good to hear that my support has benefited confidence and understanding of the subject!
From Donna (/5): Leon provided us with a 7 day free trial so we could see how his tutoring worked. My Son is in Year 10 and heading towards his GCSE’s and was struggling with fractions, after just a few days my Son commented that he’d been given a fractions paper in class and he said he could answer the questions with confidence and that he knew the answers. He said this was because of what Leon had taught him. We will be asking Leon to continue tutoring my Son which I’m confident will improve his grades.
Reply from: Leon:Thanks for the positive review. I look forward to working with you both in January!
From Neil (/5): Leon has been helping my son for several weeks now with GCSE computer science.

From Tope (/5): My daughter has been enjoying her computer science lessons with Leon. She is taking A Levels computer science having not done it for GCSE. Leon is helping her gain an understanding of the subject and getting her ready to start A levels computer science at a good level with firm grasp of programming and coding.
From Khalid (/5): Coming to the end of my university studies, with 2 Resubmissions required. I stumbled across Leon's profile, and to be honest I'm glad I did. The support and guidance I have received was next to none. Leon has Helped me really understand the topics and what was expected from me in my assignments. As a student that suffers with dyslexia, his approach to teaching was well suited to my needs, I would most definitely recommend Leon's service. I will for sure be hiring Leon for any future endeavors I embark upon.
Reply from: Leon:It was a pleasure to work with you. Good luck with your exam results - and let me know if you need any further help.
From Aneta (/5): Leon is an excellent tutor, who clearly explained a range of different topics to help me with GCSE maths. I recommend him without doubt.

From Ronnie (/5): Patient and knowledgeable, making it easy to learn and make mistakes without feeling silly
From Lucy (/5): My son is 15 and completing gcse computer science. He needed some extre help with coding so we got in touch with Leon. Leon has been tutoring my son now for several weeks, and it has been a complete sucess. The pace and style are adjusted to suit my son's needs; to ensure that he does understand fully and Leon gradually builds his confidence. In the weekly lesson they cover so much, my son has the support he needs and is comfortable to ask questions and reflect on what he has learnt. This is my first time of using a tutor, and I would recommend Leon openly as a tutor.
Reply from: Leon:Thank you for your positive feedback. It's been a pleasure to work with Samuel and is really good to hear that he has benefited from the tuition.
From Danny (/5): Leon is currently tutoring my son, he is very thorough and is making a big difference with my sons learning and with his confidence, I will be continuing lessons twice a week for as long as is needed and my son actually looks forward to them.

From Leigh (/5): After only two sessions with Leon we have found Ellie's understanding of maths improving significantly. I have every faith that with his help we will get ellie where she needs to be.
From Sandra (/5): Leon is very professional and my daughter who struggles with maths has found that the way Leon explains concepts make it easy for her to understand. On one occasion at short notice he accommodated a change in the day and time of the lesson.
I am very pleased with the choice of tutor for my daughter.

Reply from: Leon:Sandra's family was a pleasure to work with. It's always good to see young people taking an interest in their learning!
From Jenny (/5): Leon had a very pleasant manner and he made a great effort to attend the session at short notice. His expertise in maths was obvious as was his approach to dyslexic students. My only concern was Leon's lively approach may have tired Nathan out for an evening session, as his dyslexia can make things difficult to process. Although I m sure other parents/student would find Leon's enthusiasm an added bonus!
We decided to go for a tutor out of the home environment to keep Nathan motivated.
