Felix is a very good teacher. Lessons are good and has helped improve my daughters grade from E to C. I have given a 4 purely because many lessons have been via Skype and my daughter feels that the face to face lessons are more valuable and there would been a greater improvement with more face to face tutoring.
If I remember well, we have moved performance up by several grades over a short period of time. Rating should therefore reflect value added. Skype tutoring has been quite effective as the progress made has been made largely through this tutoring platform given that I have to work overseas most of the time.
From Karen
Felix was very patient and knowledgeable. My daughter became a lot more confident and was not afraid to ask the 'silly' questions.
Thank you Karen.

I've been to tutoring thrice so far, and have already got to see how Felix orchestrates his teaching. His mix of friendly, jokey "banter" and well spoken grasp of every subject thrown at him make it seem like I can ask him anything I want and recieve an answer. Demonstrating the simplest way to move through a question, I have already found ways of answering the given questions. Felix is a warm and helpful tutor, and I look forward to the coming weeks.
Thanks for your feedback. I am sure we will find a way of making 5/5 in the coming weeks.
From Jacqui
Initial lesson very good but subsequent lessons not so good. Having paid for 4 lessons in advance I feel that should the lessons not suit the student, (you cannot always base it on one lesson). you have already committed to the four lessons. £140 is a lot to ask for if you do not receive the tuition required. Whilst I do not doubt Felix's teaching methods, unfortunately it was not suitable for my son (grade A student who needed a little help with Physics).
From Caroline
Felix has been helping my son gain a greater understanding of GCSE Biology. My son has found it very useful indeed.
I am pleased with Alex's progress. I am sure he is eying a top grade in Biology in the summer exams
From Michelle
Very good, thank you
From Thomas
Felix is helping me simultaneously with AS and A2 chemistry, and occasionally assists with my mechanics module in A level maths. I am finding his approach successful and am finding chemistry much easier, than in the past. I would definitely recommend Felix as a tutor, since his teaching areas are vast and his teaching skills are proving to be a success!
From Catherine
my son is enjoying the lessons with Felix. He feels much more confident with his maths.
From Nicholas
I had a number of areas in A2 maths that I had problems with. Felix was extremely helpful as he took these principles back to basics and then built and expanded my knowledge from there. He is extremely patient and a very engaging teacher which helps a great deal when a concept is taking you a while to understand. Overall Felix is a very good tutor and I highly recommend him.
Many thanks for your feedback Nicholas. It was indeed a pleasure to work with you and I am positively expectant of a good outcome from your just ended exams.
From Vicki
Felix has helped my daughter a great deal especially as it was quite late into her GCSE studies that she started having tuition. My only regret is that she did not have more lessons with him as she learnt much more from the tuition hours than she seemed to be from school. I would highly recommend him.
It was a great pleasure to work with your daughter and I would tutor her again should need arise. I am confident she will come out with flying colours in August.
From Alka
We approached Felix a few weeks ago as my son who is currently doing AS needed help with Chemistry. Felix was very quick to respond and managed to squeeze a first lesson within the week. His teaching style suits my son. Felix is able to find and focus on my son's weak points. I am happy with the way it is going. So far so good. I hope with the help of Felix, my son can achieve the results he needs.
From Arman
Mr has helped my son prepare for his Statistics (Edexcel) exam. He explains things in a clear and concise way. My son has made good progress and enjoys his lessons. I have no hesitation in recommending Mr for personal tuition.
From Phil
The one on one help that Felix has given my daughter has been invaluable in improving her knowledge levels and understanding at A2. He is very approachable and has a good communication style. The tutoring will most definitely help in July's exams.
From Diana
My son has been having Chemistry GCSE tuition from Felix for the past 2-3 months and we are delighted with his progress. Felix is very thorough and patient in his approach and makes sure that William fully understands each topic before moving on.
William looks forwards each session and we are looking forward to using him for further tuition in Physics and Biology next year. Thank-you Felix for all your effort with William, it will definitely improve his grade in his May GCSE.
From Tracy
We approached Felix for tutoring in chemistry and biology after our son received disappointing January AS module results. Felix very quickly organised a taster session for Dom and quickly confirmed that Dom's subject knowledge was fine, but that his exam technique was seriously lacking. After 6 very productive sessions with Felix it has been great to witness Dom's confidence and positive attitude towards his studies returning and we are looking forward to Dom fulfilling his potential in his AS exams and resits in May. We would like to thank Felix for his expert help and support so far and would definitely recommend him to others.
From Andrea
Sam has responded positively to his sessions with Felix. He says felix is approachable, he listens to sam's concerns and responds with appropriate teaching. Sam feels increasingly confident in his school lessons and he feels he has an improved grasp of the subject. So far, so good!
From Carita
My son has had two lessons with Felix so far. Already he has helped him immensely, He is more confident and knows the route now for revision and hopefully to finally get a good grade at GCSE. Felix is very proficient in his teaching and knows his subjects v. well. He was prompt with arranging the classes and professional. Great facilities!
From Ekaterina
Excellent teacher! My son finds Chemistry lessons interesting and very helpful. He learns from them much more than he does at school. Thank you very much, Felix!
Thank you so much for your encouraging feedback. We connected very quickly with Pavel and he is a very smart boy. He is making very good progress.
From Pamela
Felix managed to cover the whole of the A2 organic chemistry syllabus with my daughter in a few sessions. Rather than spoon feed her information, he challenged her to think through the answers to problems. Consequently she was able to approach the exam feeling relatively confident in her knowledge and understanding, and felt that she had given a much better account of herself than in previous chemistry exams.
From Tracey
We approached Felix on a 'last **Web Address Removed**' basis only 4 weeks before my daughter was due to resit C2 and take C3. Although he was fully booked he did his upmost to fit us in with his other regular students and from the outset proved to be brilliant.My daughter was underachieving in Chemistry and Felix very soon got to the root of the problem which was not lack of knowledge but a lack of understanding in how to tackle the exam questions. Chloe has done her exmas now and was confident in both C2 and C3 and I'm sure when she gets her results she won't be disappointed.
I would definitely recommend Felix as a tutor. He has a great depth of knowledge but equally knows how to get the most out of each individual student and focuses on what is really needed by them rather than just 'teaching'.
Chloe is taking Chemistry at A' level and I will have no hesitation going back to Felix for him to help her with Chemistry AS/A level if and when she needs some extra help and encouragement.
Brilliant!
Many thanks Tracey for a great feedback. It was a pleasure working with Chloe and I tremendously valued your mother-in-action support. I am confident that Chloe will hit the mark when the results are out.
From Susanna
I saw Felix for AS level Physics revision prior to my May exams. I found him very pleasant, enthusiastic and patient. I was able to bring anything to the sessions but we mainly did past papers. We went over questions I had previously got wrong in those papers and Felix was able to explain to me where I went wrong. In particular I thought Felix was very helpful with explaining the formulas to me. Thank you for your help.
From Katy
Our son is year 10 at school and is doing GCSE triple science. We wanted a tutor to give him some extra support in chemistry and made contact with Felix via First Tutors. So far, Henry has had 4 lessons with Felix and he has found them really helpful. Felix started off by finding out what Henry has been taught at school, what methods his teachers are using and which areas he is finding tricky. He then tailors the lesson accordingly.
From Anna
Felix has really helped with our daughters physics revision - he explains concepts clearly and patiently, but also asks relevant and searching questions to ensure a thorough level of understanding - I am hopeful that this extra help and support will give her the confidence in her forthcoming A2 exam modules.
From Isobel
Felix has proven to be a real gem over the last few weeks and has given Abby the additional skills and confidence she needs to tackle her IB exam in the next few weeks. He is really personable and incredibly patient and has helped Abby spot, take ownership and overcome her weak areas. His methods encourage "ownership" and involvement by the student - he does not simply "tell" and expect the student to simple follow… I could not recommend him higher… Isobel Mckenna
Well, what can I say, I feel indeed honoured by your generous comments. It's been an enjoyable experience working with Abby. She is a very keen student and a real pleasure to work with. I very much treasure the motherly support and encouragement you have given and continue to give Abby in our joint endeavour to surmount the mathematical mountain we are climbing. I am confident that Abby will strike gold in the exam!
From Deborah
My son is achieving a high standard in maths/further maths and needs to be at the highest level that can be reached. Felix has been able to help him with this goal, to helping him to understand some new topics and improve his understanding of others. Currently working at AS level. We are happy with the tutoring and plan to carry on with it.
Thank you for the kind feedback Deborah. Adam is a talented mathematician who should achieve straight As in both Core and Further Maths. It is a pleasure to work with him.
From Ruth
We are really delighted with Felix' work with our daughter Rebecca - she went from a U grade to an A in one chemistry module with the help of Felix and overall acheived a B grade for chemistry in her A level results and is into her first choice university. Rebecca really began to undertsand the subject with Felix help and her confidence grew markedly as the sessions progressed. We really can't praise Felix enough - he is an excellent tutor. Thank you so much Felix - from us all Ruth
It was a pleasure to work with Rebecca and I am extremely delighted with Rebecca's excellent achievement. I wish her all the best at university.
From Jim
Mr tutored my daughter for several months on GCSE Science. He was absolutely excellent. My daughter enjoyed working with Mr , and gained a great deal from the sessions.
Thank you very much for the feedback Mr Eastlake. It was a great pleasure to work with Eve.
From Olawale
Felix tutored my son for his A level physics. He is patient, flexible and will accommodate any demands. Above all, he is an excellent teacher and I am happy to say that my son achieved a very good result and is now going to Bristol to study Engineering. He tutored my son for a very brief period to help with past question papers, but with hindsight, I should have contacted him earlier and had I done so, I have an unshaken conviction that the result would have been better.
Many thanks for your feedback Mr Duyile and I wish Akim all the very best at university.
From Paul
Tutoring sessions with Felix were extremely helpful in preparing me for my various maths exams and i found his way of teaching to be very effective.
Thanks Paul for your feedback. I have enjoyed doing Maths and Stats with you. I have no doubt that you will do great in the exam.
From Wasantha
He was great. Met him only last Minuit but he have the confidence to face the exam for my daughter.
From Stephen
Philip has been taught some maths the school has missed, worth while as hopefully will help with up and coming exams.
From Dan
Felix has been a great help in my pre-exam revision with adaptive and detailed sessions tailored to exactly what I find most difficult. With his help I've made what was previously my most daunting subject to the one i'm most confident with.
Thanks Dan for your great feedback. I must say you have been one of the most engaging students I have ever taught. Your focus and inquisitive learning attitude have made tutoring you an enjoyable task!
From Alexandra
Felix is very aware of my understanding of a topic and will recap something if he feels I need to. The sessions always run on time and he goes to great effort to find a slot that suites me during the week. I am very happy with how the sessions are going and feel it has given my chemistry a confidence boost.
It is a pleasure to work with you Alex and I am confident your target grade will be realised and you will march into your career path.
From Janis
We are very pleased with the tuition that Jamie is having with Felix. He finds it enjoyable and extremely **Web Address Removed** has helped with structuring his revision and expanding his Physics knowledge.
From Barbara
Gcse Chemistry My son has had 6 lessons with Felix which are proving a great help.I am sure these lessons will help towards his final exams.

matthew
It's been a great pleasure working with you Matt and I am confident you will strike the target grade in Stats. I wish you the very best with your post A level aspirations!
From Quassim
Felix is a great tutor. Felix responded very quickly to my request. He makes the topics so easy to understand. Felix makes sure that every aspect of the chapter has been covered and most importantly gives you exam style questions to see if you have really understood the chapter.
Thanks Quassim for your feedback. It is a great pleasure to work with you and I am confident you will strike your target grade!
From Lorraine
Felix is an incredibly knowledgeable tutor who is able to quickly connect with his pupils. Our son Ben is approaching his GCSE's and had hit a blind spot with his Chemistry. Felix was able to swiftly identify the gaps in his knowledge and build upon this with Ben. Ben's confidence continues to grow with each session. Thank you Felix, as Ben is planning on studying Maths and Physics at A Level, I'm sure we'll be continuing with you for a while! Lorraine (& Ben)
Thank you very much for such a glowing feedback. I must say it is a pleasure to work with Ben and I am sure he will achieve the targeted grade. I indeed will be disposed to continue working with Ben beyond GCSE.
From Sally
Felix has helped to restore my son's confidence in his ability with Chemistry. As yet we have not received any assessment results to verify any improvement, but I am sure that the efforts that Felix has put in will be met with improved results when these come through.
Many thanks for the feedback Sally. It is a pleasure to work with Chris and I am confident that he will achieve his desired grade in the upcoming exams.
From Jane
Delighted so far. Excellent communication. Felix responded quickly to our request and the first lesson went very well. Very professional and suitable for the tuition required.
Many thanks Jane for your kind feedback. I look forward to working with Matt and hope to help him achieve his desired grades.
From Mark
Very good service. Good relationship
Many thanks for your feedback, it is indeed valued.
