My son has lost his way in a-level maths during the lock downs. Maths is a tough enough subject without having to learn it remotely. We got Jack in to help him recover from his poor mock results and regain his confidence.
Jack taught him in person - something that really mattered to us - and they developed a great rapport. Confidence was difficult to build but Jack stuck at it, helping right up until the night before the last exam. He was always contactable and a really lovely man.
We haven’t got to results day yet, but I’m sure our son will have improved well and hopefully increased by the two grades he needs for his first choice university.
Thanks Jack. I would recommend him wholeheartedly, especially if your son or daughter has lost their confidence with the subject.
From Evie
We have had a few tutors over the years but Jack has been by far the best one. He is tutoring my daughter in Maths for her A levels. His knowledge and teaching skills are excellent. As well as Jacks weekly visit, he has made himself available to all the extra lessons my daughter needed before her exams. I highly recommend Jack.
Thanks for the lovely feedback Liz - it’s been great seeing Evie progress so well and continue to enjoy her maths.
From Gina
Jack is currently working with my teenage son supporting him with his first year of A level maths. My son found the change to A level post Covid very hard and asked us to find a tutor. Jack has been really brilliant - listening to his concerns about not feeling ready for the jump, reassuring him and building confidence.

Very engaging, knowledgeable and well prepared.
From Tony
Jack has been an excellent tutor over the last year, initially tutoring my daughter at home, and then by Zoom as we went into lockdown in March. Jack was instrumental in improving my daughter’s Mathematics grade from an assessed grade D at A/S level to a projected level B at A level. Jack improved my daughter’s self confidence, and without his encouragement she would have probably dropped the subject. He is thoroughly prepared for each lesson, and has built an excellent rapport with my daughter. I would highly recommend Jack as a tutor.
Thanks for the feedback and kind words Tony. It's been fantastic seeing Dora's improvement and increased enjoyment of her mathematics.
From Gregory
Jack is an absolute star - a real first class tutor of the sort you pray you will find but rarely do. He took time to work out where our daughter needed help with her maths (A level) and planned a structured approach to helping her improve her weaker areas. The improvement was rapid and marked. She felt buoyed by her new confidence, and began to look forward to doing her maths homework first rather than last. Her teachers noticed the change too, both in the consistency of her work and in her marks. Having started in the solidly mid-B range, we and her teachers were looking at an A* as a realistic possibility until Coronavirus hit and the exams were cancelled! Thanks Jack for all your help - you’ve been invaluable.
From Jo
Jack accepted my request and I paid the finders fee. He was due to meet me this Wednesday 18th December at 7.45pm and emailed me today to say that he can longer go ahead. I appreciate he has had a change in circumstances but I have spent a huge amount of time on this and am no further forward. Jo
Hi Jo, really sorry that we didn't get going with the sessions and wish that I could have been able to let you know with more notice that we could not begin. Totally fair feedback, and I understand your frustration. Wish you the best in finding a tutor for your son for the new year. Best, Jack
From George
Very good tutor, would recommend, he prepared excellent lessons plans.
From Emma
Jack has been an amazing help to my 7 year old son, he really managed to engage with him on a subject that he hated and bring him up to where he needed to be in a short space of time! His manner and approach were both professional and engaging. I would thoroughly recommend Jack!
From Edward
We have had 3 sessions so far and Jack has been brilliant! Very professional, excellent knowledge and a very nice manner. Definitely recommend
