What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Bournemouth pupils preparing for GCSE examinations, alongside younger learners who find mathematics daunting, make up much of this tutor's caseload. More than one customer describes how Di Hardwick transforms a feared subject into a favoured one, with confidence and understanding rising after just a few sessions. Her patience, kindness and encouraging manner are mentioned repeatedly, as is the attention she gives to assessing each pupil's needs before adapting lessons and worksheets. Clear, accessible explanations are planned and emailed ahead so that specific gaps in learning can be addressed directly.

Something that features in review after review is the flexibility shown when sessions need rescheduling, together with preparation that goes beyond expectations. One account contrasts the slow progress of group tuition with the swift benefits of one-to-one teaching, while others note stronger examination results and renewed enthusiasm. The rapport she builds with young people, whether lessons take place online or face to face, helps them feel engaged and at ease. Her many years as a school teacher underpin the experience she brings to each session, and her tailored approach has helped pupils view mathematics in a different light.

I can't recommend Di highly enough. She has been working with my son now on his GCSE studies throughout year 10, and has managed to help him build his confidence and improve his enthusiasm for Maths.

Di has been helping our son Luke with his GCSE Maths for several months now and we have been very pleased with the support she has provided. Di has been flexible, understanding and accommodating when unforeseen circumstances have meant lessons need to be rescheduled. She is great at planning, preparing and emailing lessons and worksheets in advance, making sure these are tailored to gaps in our son's learning. Di is focused and maintains a good pace, filling every minute of the lesson. She then provides copies of work completed so our son (who is not the most organised) has a record. Our son was initially apprehensive about working with a tutor but Di quickly put him at ease. She is very encouraging and our son's confidence and ability has definitely grown as a result of her input. We would not hesitate to recommend Di to any other parents seeking a Maths tutor for their child.

Di Hardwick is very knowledgeable on her subject and very engaging. My Daughters group tuition was the same price and she went many weeks without improvement. It only took a couple of lessons with Di to start seeing the benefits of 1:1 tutoring. Di goes out of her way to ensure all expects are explains so that the understanding increases quickly, not only this, my daughter even enjoys the sessions!!

Di is simply marvelous. She has been teaching our daughter now for many years and her positivity and kind, understanding approach has changed our daughters outlook to math's beyond our wildest dreams. Once a feared subject to now a loved one. Highly recommended and we will be using Di in the future for our sons tuition too (when the time comes).

Di is tutoring my twin 11 year boys, who both find maths a real challenge and have never really enjoyed the subject. However Di's exceptional teaching approach has helped them to view maths in a different light. Her clear explanations and her encouraging style have helped to significantly improve their understanding of particular topics. Di takes the time to understand the pupil's individual needs and tailors her on-line lessons accordingly, so that her sessions are targeted and as helpful as possible. She has a wealth of experience in teaching maths and a lovely manner with children, which both come across in abundance. Di takes a lot of time in preparing her lessons and goes over and beyond to ensure her pupils are gaining maximum benefit. Di is a professional throughout.

I cannot rate Di enough. Let me explain why. My son is not the most over enthusiastic student when it comes to maths and although we have tried to get him excited over the years, we felt we weren't getting anywhere. I suggested a tutor and he wasn't thrilled, but with his mocks only weeks away, I pressed on and gave him little choice. Finding Di was the tonic he needed. From the first meeting (on Teams) he was engaged, laughing and understanding areas of maths that he found so tricky and complex before. Di had just four hours with him to turn him into a confident maths student, who went running into his last exam and came out smiling with confidence. Her communication skills are first class and her explanations easy to understand - my son says he now 'gets it!'. Thank you Di :) Michelle

We feel very privileged to have been introduced to Di. She has not only transformed our child's view of Maths (from being the 'most difficult' and 'worst' subject - to being a favourite subject ) but also has provided outstanding teaching in a truly kind, caring and understanding way. She has developed our child's mathematical ability as well as self esteem and confidence. Di thoroughly plans and personalises sessions, going above and beyond to provide outstanding lessons which result in great results / grades and outcomes.
