Perfect! Andrew has been an excellent tutor helping my daughter prepare for her GCSE's. His calm, patient and friendly approach to learning has been excellent for my daughter who has always struggled with Chemistry at school. The fact that he is a school teacher was one of the reasons we chose Andrew and his skills in explaining key concepts in an understandable way has really helped my daughter gain confidence and feel better prepared for her exams. Andrew is well organised, communicates very well and has been very flexible in helping us to fit lessons in around my daughter's sports commitments. Overall we feel very lucky to have found him, thank you!

Perfect! Dr Hinsley was calm friendly and very knowledgeable . My children enjoyed their first lesson and it was very interactive. My son said he did a great job and my daughter said he is very good and she understood the topic well. My children are looking forward to having more lessons with Dr Hinsley.

Thank you very much for all you have done for me over the last two years. The passion you always seem to convey in your lessons has genuinely made Chemistry lessons really enjoyable and challenging and I'm sure made me more enthusiastic about studying it further. Thank you again.

This is a little thank-you for all the effort you put into tutoring Isobel over the last year. Whatever the outcome it would have been unreachable without you. She said she quite liked chemistry by the end so that is an achievement!

Just thought I'd let you know that I got three A grades for A-level. It's such a relief! I am going to Bath University to study Pharmacy as I was unsuccessful in achieving a medical place at any of my chosen universities.
Thanks again for being such a great teacher!
