Experienced curriculum leader English maths science, music, art, special needs and more

Paul has been helping my son, who is dyslexic, prepare to redo GCSE English retake. He has a very straightforward and engaging way of teaching and has got Max writing. He also has exellect knowledge of dyslexia and techniques for compensating. Very happy.

Paul is a rare type of tutor. He has enormous empathy for students with learning difficulties as he has experienced them himself. He looks at the whole student and works with them to gain their confidence and build strategies and ways of working that help the student understand themselves better and develop an interest in how they can learn. He also looks at the subjects in wide contexts, linking subjects together to help students make more sense of the world.

We have used Paul for approximately 5 years for my son and daughter (daughter since she was in Year 2.
Both my kids enjoy their sessions with him and (almost) never complain.
He always gives feedback on sessions if required and will tailor the session to suit if the kids are tired or not concentrating.
His communication around session times etc is excellent.

Paul tutors both of my children (10yo boy, 7yo girl) in Maths and English. They both think he is great. He is good at keeping their attention and is not worried to tell them to concentrate if required!
He is always punctual and will call if there is a problem.
My son has made significant progress during this year with Paul in his maths and we are awaiting his sats results.
My daughter struggles with maths and Paul is very patient in finding a technique that suits her learning. She has recently started making much better progress.
