This year, Graham has inspired our yr 7 reluctant reader and introduced him to a wide variety of texts. This is helping transform his approach to English lessons at school.
Many thanks, Lucy. He is an excellent young man.
From Elaine
Graham is a thoughtful and thorough tutor. His lessons are well structured and detailed with a clear method for English instruction. He also has good control of the session and keeps my child's attention even over a zoom link. In particular, I appreciate his detailed and unvarnished feedback on my child's performance with advice on areas to work on. Sessions have been efficient and effective in boosting my child's performance.
Thanks, Elaine. He is a great boy and is making quick progress.
From Teresa
Graham is so professional. He identifies problem areas and tackles them immediately. He boosted my sons confidence after one or two lessons. My son looks forward to lessons with Graham. For that, I am very grateful.
That is very kind, thank you. I look forward to teaching your son again soon!
From JANET
A great English tutor. Graham's lessons and preparation are very detailed and considered for my childs ability, would highly recommend!
From Yan
My son has been with Graham for a month now, he finds Graham's lessons really help him to prepare better for 11+. Graham is very easy going and always respond to my inquires promptly and tries his best to arrange the lessons which can help my son the best. I would recommend him.
From Lea
Graham is a superb tutor. He had the capacity to engage meaningfully with my son instantly and continues to provide an inspiring environment for him to learn within. He gives honest yet compasionate feedback that enables my son to excel in his learning and importantly, enjoy it. I am also impressed by the communication he has had with me. He is clearly mindful of the end goal of exam success. Graham clearly is very talented and I can highly recommend him.
From Grace
My child enjoys Graham's English lesson very much. Graham uses kinds of materials not only for building up my child's English skills for entrance exams but also to improve his ability in reading and creative writing, which is quite important for KS2 children. Graham knows very quickly what tasks suit my child best and he understands how to stretch my child moderately to intrigue his interest and curiosity in English study. I believe he knows how to fulfil children's potential and I very am happy I found Graham to tutor my son. So far so good. Thanks, Graham!
From Yana
Both my 11 y.o. Dear Daughter and myself are extremely happy that Graham became my DD’s tutor of English language.
Graham’s lessons are: - much WIDER and DEEPER than traditional studying of the language rules and structures. Graham explains logic of the language and helps my DD to think about not only “what” but also “why”; - CHALLENGING, yet run in such a friendly fun manner, that encourages her to raise to the challenge; as my she put it: “Comprehension texts are very hard, but I like it and it’s good for me as I feel I am getting better”; - FULL of USEFULlL ADVICE to apply daily to improve not only language, but overall education of my DD. Graham’s advice on books to read, resources to use, textbooks to practice with went way beyond my expectations.
It feels like my DD is taught by a very gifted teacher who loved both language and teaching.
From Chenchen
Absolutely five star tutor! Very inspiring and especially knowledgeable, communicative and really helpful! I am so glad we chose Graham, I definitely expect my child will have huge improvements with Graham, he enjoys every class indeed, inspired and makes progress every time. Thank you so much for helping us, Graham!
From Russell
Updated feedback after getting GCSE results: we are thrilled with the result that Graham has helped our son achieve. He has found exactly the right way to work with him and brought out the best, helping him achieve more than we hoped. I can't thank Graham enough for going above and beyond in helping our son get to this point.
Graham has been a wonderful teacher and I cannot recommend him highly enough. He is incredibly well qualified with a wealth of experience. This is high quality teaching, and he has been able to help our son feel connected and enthusiastic about learning again. He also has a wide range of methods to help work with different students, judging from the way he has managed to key in to what our son needs. We've been impressed by the academic quality but also by the warmth and humour he has brought. Within a few sessions our son has been engaged in the subjects again and feeling more confident. Real high quality tuition, and especially good if the student needs a bit of confidence or needs extra help to go forward. Totally recommended.
Thanks, Russell, for those very kind comments!
From Sarah
Graham is tutoring my daughter in English at University level. He is an excellent tutor with a level of commitment that is second to none. Graham has the ability to recognise the strengths and weaknesses of his student and teach in the most effective way to give confidence , direction and challenges. My daughter is benefitting hugely by his guidance and developing further her skills for critical thinking and writing in an in depth and coherent manner. I would highly recommend Graham as a tutor for all levels ; he is an absolute professional and a wonderful insightful tutor.
Thank you for your kind words. Your daughter is a pleasure to teach!
