MichailFrom Tommy (5/5): (GCSE Physics) Michail provided first class tuition in taking my grandson from a definite fail (38%) in the Physics Prelim to a B in his final exam after only a few months. Similarly my grandson got an A in Chemistry too with Michails' help. I would recommend him highly.
From Lisa (/5): (GCSE Physics) My son has been seeing Michail for around 5 months for physics tuition at National 4/5 level. He is able to explain concepts in a way which my son understands and in a recent S3 end of year exam he obtained a good A pass, something which would not have been possible without Michail's input. Michail conducts himself in a professional and friendly manner at all times and we would have no hesitation in recommending him to others.
From Lucy (/5): (A-Level Maths)
From Iain (/5): (A-Level Physics) Michail began tutoring our daughter around 6 months before she sat her Higher Physics exam. Our daughter had been encouraged to sit Higher Physics at the end of S4 instead of the Nat 5 level, and she was keen to get a tutor so that she could do well in the Higher. I was very impressed that Michail's priority was building a strong foundation and understanding of Physics, and not simply on 'how to pass' by looking at past papers and guessing what may come up. He worked well with our daughter, and I honestly don't think she ever had any criticism of his manner or tutoring methods. The bottom line: an 'A' in Higher Physics achieved in S4, and Michail will be tutoring her for Advanced Higher Physics this year!
From Pauline (/5): (A-Level Physics) Michail has been a great tutor for our son. He was able to provide 3 higher subjects which meant he could be very flexible within our weekly 2 hour sessions. He supported my son from prelims through to highers, giving him a bit more confidence in his readiness for his highers. My son got along well with him 1:1 and felt he helped him due to his in depth knowledge of physics, maths, and chemistry at higher level and the fact he appeared to really love these subject. Michail was very flexible in his times and communicated well with us as parents. We would be delighted to use Michail again if support is needed for advanced highers and would recommend his to others.
From Mohammed (/5): (A-Level Chemistry) Competent,friendly and punctual tutor. He has full command over the subject and explains every topic very well. My son got Higher Chemistry tuition from him and he improved a lot and now looking forward for A grade in his exam. I would recommend him to any one who is looking for professional and dedicated tutor.
From Craig (/5): (GCSE Physics) Excellent, punctual and my son seems to get on well with Michalis which is important. Highly recommend!
From Arlene (/5): (GCSE Maths) I am 15 years old and studying for my National 5 in maths. I have found Michail very clear in explaining the areas of maths that I have not been confident in and he has helped my overall understanding. He always uses the time he has with me really well and I feel more confident with every lesson. He is also always punctual.
From Lewis (/5): (A-Level Maths) Fantastic tutor, would thoroughly recommend him to anyone studying mathematics in need of some help to improve grades. His tuition has changed my predicted grade of a fail to a strong pass in a matter of 6-7 weeks.
From Sue (/5): (A-Level Maths) Our daughter struggles to keep up in a large class and has found her sessions with Michail very helpful. He is very pleasant and reliable and seemed to identify problem areas after the first session.
From Philip (/5): (University Physics)
From Dhileas (/5): (A-Level Chemistry) Michail was very thorough and clear with his turoring of my daughter. He immediately spotted where the weak spots were and concentrated on them. He was perceptive and challenged where necessary, in a very professional way. My daughter found his approach clear and very helpful.
We were very satisfied.
