“Thank you for all the time and attention you’ve given R. It has made such a difference in his attitude and what an achievement this year was.  He has changed in so many wonderful ways under your instruction. No other teacher has ever invested so much time in him, and I am truly grateful.”

 

“We are extremely grateful to you for having tutored A. through this phase. He has understood and acquired a wide variety of learning techniques for both Maths and English. Your patience and focus has helped A. grow confident in his mannerisms and shows in his school results as well. Please count on us to provide the best of references, should the same be required. We will surely be in touch with you next year as, our younger son, embarks on a similar journey.”

“We have some good news to share … A. got his QE [Queen Elizabeth School, Barnet] results. He got 282. Thank you so much for your help!!! Your work with him has been immensely helpful.”

“I heard fantastic feedback from A. about your sessions. It’s impressive how you are handling all these subjects alone … What you have done with A. is amazing and I would recommend you to the people I know surely.”

“He received a Harrow offer. Almost 100%. Very impressive. Thanks as much to you!”

“You were brilliant with guiding us over the 11+.”

“We had Gavin tutor our son for 11+ in English as well as for general independent school advice. In English, Gavin covered all the advanced areas -- comprehension, vocabulary building and writing. Our son tremendously enjoyed the process; Gavin is well-qualified and thorough in what he does. We found it easy to work with Gavin as he is willing to accommodate additional requests and slight modifications, in both the program and the schedule. Throughout the lockdown gloom, his tutorship was one of the brightest and most positive experiences overall. And finally, our son got multiple offers from the top UK schools, including the school of our first choice. The result was nothing but success. We very strongly recommend Gavin.”

“M. received an offer from KCS [Wimbledon] this morning. We are so happy! Thank you so much for your hard work to prepare M.”

"Gavin was a great help to me. An invaluable help in organizing and sorting through the truly intimidating amounts of research and information required for A-Level History. Without him, I may not have gotten into my first choice university. I highly recommend his services."

“Thanks for recommending Gavin. He was a fantastic tutor for both my kids. His calm approach was certainly appreciated by both, and I have no doubt that the work they did with him has been of great benefit. Gavin is very personable and easy to have in the house and the kids seemed to be very happy in his company, which is key.”

“Thank you for your hard work and amazing support to B. I want you to know that his improvement in History as a subject has been the direct result of your work with him. Thank you so much.”

“He is happy with that [his grade] as he has had a very hard couple of years with basically no Politics teacher - so thank you - he really enjoyed his conversations with you (we should have just started earlier). Thanks again Gavin, you were a great help to D. and we really appreciate it.”

“Arriving in London from abroad just a few months before 13 plus exams felt very daunting. The agency quickly set us up with an excellent and very personable tutor - Gavin. He worked intensively with my son and put in a lot of extra effort to gauge his level and address any gaps. He took a lot of care for his wellbeing during a difficult period and gave us considered and helpful feedback. I am pleased to report my son received multiple offers from great schools and am grateful for all the support.”

“I do want to say a massive thank you. His English has improved no end and a year ago he wouldn't have had a hope of passing the Wilson's exam and I know the tutoring also helped with vocab and his performance in the verbal reasoning - so a massive thank you.”

“Just got off the phone to J.; she was singing your praises and saying how brilliant she thinks you are. Thank you for such super work!”

“We are all finished with the difficult 11+ process and are extremely pleased with the results as my son was offered places at four schools, including at his first choice. We would wholeheartedly recommend Gavin as a tutor as he had great rapport with our son and was able to gently encourage and build his confidence. Additionally, we felt that Gavin had a good handle on the level required for the schools that we were aiming for and that our son made good progress under Gavin’s tutorage.”

“Gavin was great for our son. He was very thoughtful and considerate of his needs. He was professional in his manner and always arrived at our home on time. I have no hesitation in recommending him to those looking for an 11+ tutor.”

“F. has developed a great tutoring relationship with you. Thank you for prepping him up to be exam-ready. You have been a calming influence on F., have great resources and recommendations, and have challenged him to keep improving. I think his writing in particular has come on leaps and bounds. It is all much appreciated!”

“Just letting you know that J. has been invited for an interview at Alleyn’s – we’re delighted! … J. was offered a place at Alleyn’s last Friday, and we accepted. Many thanks again for all your help!!”
