RayFrom Sarah (5/5): (GCSE Maths) I was extremely pleased with Ray as a tutor. He was always very well prepared for each session and would go over the areas where my son struggled. He spent time researching and going through the syllabus. My son benefited from the one to one sessions and Rays style of teaching. I can't praise him enough. Thank you.
Reply from Ray: Thanks Sarah. I was happy to help your son as best I could in the (short) time that we had available.
From Adam (/5): (GCSE Maths) Ray, gives additional maths tuition to both my daughters (14 & 16) who are both studing for GCSE. During his first visit he sat with the girls and established their weakness' and he has now spent time enabling them to understand these areas. More importantly he has managed to install into my youngest daughter confidence in her maths work, something she had lost after a year with a teacher with whom she could note engage with.
I would have no problem in recommending Ray to others
Cheers

From Janet (/5): (GCSE Maths) I have to say that Ray was a very reliable, friendly person who had a good rapport with my 16 year old boy. After the first couple of weeks he identified very quickly the issues around his maths and my son's lack of understanding of algebra. Over the 12 weeks that my son has received tution he has grown in confidence and has a good knowledge of algebra and other areas of maths. Even on the last session Ray also helped him with his chemistry and physics science work as he couldn't grasp atoms!!.
Ray was always very polite and communicated well… We will be letting Ray know the outcome of our son's gcse results… and if he does well I certainly know that it will be down to Ray's time and effort he put in with our son.
I would recommend Ray without hesitation and if I know of anyone I will steer them in his direction. Thank you.

Reply from Ray: Thanks Janet. Fingers crossed!
From Ye (/5): (A-Level Physics) Ray is very punctual in attendance. My daughter got tremendous achievements in her class after a few lessons. He got full understanding of the student and always help with the difficulties. I will definitely recommend Ray to any who needs extra lesson.
