Vivek is an institute rather than just a tutor, and delivers what he promises.
I had contacted three tutors before Vivek, but my daughter remained uncertain. As is the norm, we were hung up on in-person lessons, but I see now that the times have really changed post-Covid, and remote lessons are perhaps superior and more productive.
Vivek was happy for us to be around during the trial lesson he offered, and he introduced us to his team as well. His business model is very interesting; I understand why and how he has so many clients and is always fully booked.
We were surprised that two other tutors were built into his per-hour cost, and these are his former students at top universities in the UK. So we ended up doing 5 hours per week at the cost of 2 hours, and the improvement was almost immediate with that level of effort. His team is terrific with aftercare, and he is always available to answer any questions at any time on WhatsApp.
Now to the grade improvement: B to A* for math and C to A* for chemistry.
From Alora
Our daughter and son both enjoyed working with Vivek In a short period of time, they had to try to revise two years worth of work. Vivek has made a huge difference and his prediction papers for both maths and eco were on point and super helpful.
From Olivia
Vivek is brilliant - couldn't recommend him highly enough. We initially contacted him during Gcse time and after that there is no looking back. My son scored all nines in his subjects even opting for Further Maths at A-level. My son says that Vivek is very patient, calm, intelligent and is always there to help and encourage.
From Zunaira
My Daughter has Asperger's, it was a relief to find Vivek. Vivek is a gifted and experienced teacher. My child started working with him only few months ago but the mock grade improved to B from E. I could also see an improvement in her mindset and confidence. His methods are top rate and the child looks forward to the lessons. He has a unique way of helping students use their imagination and improve their skills. I am very happy we found Vivek.
From Ali Azam
I have been attending Vivek's lessons for three months, they have helped me exceedingly well. I have improved drastically and finally beginning to understand and enjoy Physics as well. I also really like how easy and comfortable it is to talk and communicate with Vivek
From Isabella
Vivek is an amazing tutor who has been working with me over a year. Working with him, my grades have improved from D/C to A/A*. He knows how to teach in a relatable style for teenagers and has made me enjoy my subject a lot more than I did before. He is flexible and quick to mark work, even submitted outside of tuition sessions. Would highly recommend!
From Tom
From the outset you have tailored your lessons to Lauren's very individual needs. You have taken the time to really understand where her knowledge was lacking and almost ,just as importantly taught her in a way which absolutely suits her style of learning . You have made the subject (economics ) so current and relevant and the use of examples and with your humour ,have made the subject come alive. Despite only seeing you once a week, you are always there to answer questions or assist with any queries , whether by phone , email or what's app… your teaching doesn't finish at the end of the lesson, it's as if you are there all the time ! Cannot begin to express how glad we are to have found you as a tutor . Incredibly, Lauren is now considering studying some form of economics at university , such is the enthusiasm you have created around the subject for her. Thank you so much Vivek
From Vanessa
We came to vivek about four weeks ago and he is been phenomenal. Not only did he improve the predicted but is transparent in his communication and explains the subject in detail and finesse.
From Joe
As a parent it is painful to see your child struggle especially when they are capable but you can't help them.
We were blessed with Vivek that is all I can say, Matt's teachers had written things like " it is too late" and he will attain E at best.
In my anxiety I have probably messaged Vivek hundreds of times even being rude to him because I was not sure of the outcome, however Vivek was always calm and assured me we were on the right track and today I am proud to say my son has proved his teachers and that very expensive school he went to completely wrong by getting A in Bio, A* in Chemistry and A* in Maths and with no help from the school but all thanks to Vivek.
From Amita
Sir you are an absolute legend!!
Mock grade: D
A-level Grade: A*
I had tried two very expensive tutors before coming to Vivek and my goodness it is true what people have written about him. He is a genius, his dedication is relentless and he brings the best out in you. I thought my dream of going medicine had been shattered after my mocks but Vivek changed it all around. I shall forever be indebted to you.
From Carlos
Vivek is an amazing mentor, with extraordinary information of the exam method required to exceed expectations in A level. In year 12 my sonhad lost all his confidence he was trying extremely hard but to no avail. He became anxious, fearful and did not even want to continue. My son and I had a heart to heart discussion with Vivek and he was able to rapidly pinpoint the particular issues my child was having and we decided to work on these together as a team. I felt from my son's response that a weight had been lifted off his shoulders as he knew Vivek would be able to guide to an A he really needed. However we did even better than an A we achieved an A* and all this was to due Vivek and his team.
From Walter
Vivek we are thankful you were able to fit us in and went beyond just weekly lessons. Vivek showed Mark how to answer the questions in such a way as to get full marks and gave him almost a rough draft of the actual exam, we don't know how he does it but we don't care. We are over the moon that Mark got his A*, all the hard work and devotion really paid off.
From Mary
I am a single mother with a son suffering from ADHD. I could not afford thousands on private lessons and that is when I found Vivek who understood my situation even gave me a discount. I have tears in my eyes as I write this, when all had given up even his school teachers Vivek gradually guided my son Charlie from an E/D to an A. There is nothing I can do for Vivek but wish him all the best for his future and pray for his success everyday.
From Shahan
Great tutor, gave great help and actually helped me understand everything we covered. I would recommend Vivek to anyone who is looking for help in Physics as he has a lot of knowledge and is very good at explaining problems and helping you understand them also.
From Jose
Vivek is tutoring my 17 year old son in Physics and Chemistry. My son has been through a few tutors and finally found Vivek. He is very happy with him. Vivek is a very attentive, personable and focused guy. My son has done extremely well under his tutelage. Vivek knows his subjects, knows his curriculum, knows what is expected and I would be very happy to recommend Vivek to anyone
From Fasial
Vivek is an excellent tutor. He did A-level Physics with my son via Zoom. A massive help. Had a great handle on my son’s ability and what work needed to be done. I would highly recommend Vivek and the online lessons avoid all the driving and rushing.
From Salman
Vivek is an amazing tutor. He went through everything at a steady pace and I improved so much in the time we worked together. Would highly recommend
From Alex
Vivek is an exceptional and outstanding maths tutor. My daughter was studying Maths for A levels in year 13 and required an A grade minimum in the subject. We contacted Vivek to help our daughter in her weak areas I.e the topic of Mechanics. Vivek did exactly that and much more to consolidate her Maths overall. Before the exams, my daughter was far more confident and she has now achieved an A* in Maths A levels and heading to study medicine at uni next month! I thoroughly recommend Vivek for building confidence in the subject and improving grades. Thank you so much, Vivek!
From Marcus
Great tutor explains well and very helpful!
From Quin
Vivek is the best tutor I’ve had. He really goes the extra mile. My confidence in physics has grown. I wasn’t too keen on the subject itself but I now look forward to physics because of Vivek
From Dawson
Vivek is brilliant my son thinks that his lessons are very engaging and he has helped him to boost his grade from 45% to 83%. Just brilliant. Couldn't ask for anything better. Thank you Vivek
From Callum
Vivek is an excellent tutor! He knows exactly how to guide you to make you understand and how to achieve the best grades! I highly recommend him!
From Edward
Vivek tutored my son online during the pandemic, at first, we were unsure how effective tutoring will be online, but Vivek quickly banished our fears and has been an excellent tutor. He’s patient and flexible, always ready to help even at short notice. My son got A* in Maths and A* in Physics at A 'level
From Henson
I think securing Vivek's services was one of the best things I did for my daughter. She feels confident, motivated and eager to do well in the exams.
From Amina
I am emotional as I write this review because that what vivek means to us he certainly knows how to turn an E to an A. The school said it was too late and realistically our son Galad could only attain an E
when we had lost all hope we went to Vivek for online lessons and in 6 months he took our from and E to an A we trusted him and he delivered
From Jack
My daughter had a few sessions with Vivek in holidays, covering the topic on Organic chemistry which she had found difficult to grasp and was extremely happy to have Vivek guide her through it. She found Vivek gentle and encouraging, and appreciated his clear, methodical approach. She also found the tips on exam techniques very helpful. My daughter now feels more confident.
From Zehrish
We found Vivek on this website! he is patient, knowledgeable, and helped Eshan my son understand difficult concepts. Vivek really knows his Econ. We couldn't be happier with the progress Eshan has made.
From Brandon
Vivek is highly educated, intelligent, insightful and patient. His approach is to figure out where your weaknesses are and then craft tutorials to address them. My son, has always had a block when it comes to maths and physics. He feels he just doesn’t 'get it'. However, Vivek's approach discovered that my son had subtle gaps in his understanding of certain concepts and was missing nuggets of detail about how to solve some problems. Vivek then addressed these through practical, hands-on exercises. He uses online tools that make lessons accessible and provides working notes and homework! Vivek is a gentleman and a pleasure to deal with. I am very happy to recommend Vivek
Brandon
From Corey
Vivek breaks down difficult areas and explains concepts with ease even my school noticed the change in me.
He is very patient and knows how to make it easy for the student.
Very highly recommended.
From Mark
I have three children who have all been to independent schools. I used Vivek for my youngest who is dyslexic and did not really excel at academics, until we met Vivek. I can say without an iota of doubt; I have never seen anyone with such insight into exams it is like Emily already knew what she was going to be asked. She says his sessions are motivating, fun and more helpful than school.
From Johan
Vivek is a very professional, focused and result-oriented tutor. I have found his methods to be effective but not overwhelming, he takes it upon himself to guide the tutee through most difficult questions, scenarios and exams.
I say all this in light of my daughters results improving from below average to top 3 in her set.
From Jonathan
Vivek has been tutoring my 18 year old son. When he began working with my son and I received truthful and clear correspondence about my sons abilities and requirements to achieve his exam passes. Vivek is still working with my son each week and we are happy with the progress. He has a calm manner and very thorough.
From Frank
Vivek is superb with exam predictions everything he said will come up actually did this is unbelievable.
From George
Vivek is a very pleasant, friendly and an extremely patient tutor. He is happy to explain concepts as many times as needed without hesitation. This is what my daughter who is doing A-level Maths appreciates.
From Sarah
Vivek is an excellent tutor, I feel very lucky that Seb is having lessons with Vivek.
He is happy attending his lessons and always comes back very positive and motivated.
From Carol
I had a very specific need and after reading Viveks profile I contacted him. He was very quick to respond and understand what I needed. He was also efficient at working together and thus he provided me the solution I needed.
I would happily recommend Vivek and also I will use him again in the future!
It’s a great resource that First Tutors have created.
From Mary
We are very happy to have found Vivek and have his support for my son who is studying Physics and Maths. From first contact to trial session to confirmed classes, the set up of this was very efficient and professional and I like the transparency of communication between Vivek, my son and myself through WhatsApp. Vivek’s in-between support is invaluable too. My son is learning how to approach assignments correctly as well as ‘general’ study support.
From Daisy
Hi Vivek is a genius, although I must admit he was my second choice tutor. I had someone teach me in person, very expensive but could not answer my questions, lacked depth and subject knowledge. I then contacted Vivek against the advice of my parents as they were not sure about online lessons. However once it began my grades started improving and slowly I felt much more confident. The icing on the cake were his predictions!
3 weeks before the exams Vivek gave me predictions which were unbelievably accurate, he is a brilliant teacher and such a kind person.
From Siddhartha
Vivek is very good Maths tutor. My son is really enjoying his coaching and guidance and fees confident.
Thank you
From Saher
We had Vivek for 6months before the exams, he is an astonishing tutor. I felt he was extremely invested, on top of the content and gave my son extremely helpful exam techniques and predictions. Took my child from a D to an A so I have no qualms about highly recommending him. At the this price he is a steal.
Thank you Saher.
