What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

GCSE preparation is the main reason families contact this maths tutor, and Bolton parents describe a patient approach with children who have found the subject difficult at school. Alex is named repeatedly across accounts, with households noting that he strikes a balance between enjoyment and discipline, adapts each session to what the pupil needs, and keeps parents informed about progress and areas requiring more effort at home. Reviewers frequently point to that their children re-engaged with maths after earlier struggles, and that his predicted grades proved accurate and realistic.

The tuition covers GCSE work, including higher and foundation papers, with some pupils beginning in Year 8 and continuing for several years. A point that comes up often is the encouragement and empathy shown to students who had not previously understood the material, alongside clear explanations of topics. Results are frequently cited, with grades achieved exceeding earlier expectations, and families describe the sessions as a wise investment. Communication with parents between lessons is another recurring theme, as are Alex's honesty and dedication. Tuition extends across school years, from siblings to individual pupils, with many families returning for more than one child.

We would highly recommend Alex for Maths tuition. He is patient, has extensive knowledge of past papers and gave our daughter the tools and the confidence she needed to pass with flying colours.

Alex is a wonderful maths tutor, he managed to reengage my daughter with maths, worked at a pace that suited her and was reactive to what she needed each lesson. Her excellent GCSE result is a reflection of his teaching. Thank you for all your hard work Alex.

Alex tutored my girls for 2 years in the run up to GCSEs as they were struggling to understand the subject at school. So glad we found Alex as he struck just the right balance of fun and discipline. My girls enjoyed the sessions and did work in between as he suggested. As a parent I felt confident as he also kept in touch and let me know when they needed to work harder! We are all delighted with their results and I would definitely recommend Alex to anyone considering a maths tutor.

Alex tutored both my children who were then able to go on to college to study A levels having successfully gained their maths gcse. They benefited tremendously from his one to one sessions. Alex gives honest updates about your child’s progress and expects pupils to do home learning in between the sessions. If you want your child to do well, they will benefit from Alex’s input.

Alex has absolutely nailed his tuition of Lucas! Exceptional results in his GCSE Maths this morning which is an outstanding result, and very different to the potential result that we may have been looking at this time last year without Alex's help, which was pretty grim to be honest. Well done to both tutor and student 👏 Thank you Alex.
