What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Saturday mornings are when this Upperthorpe school operates, running from ten until one and closed the rest of the week. Patrick appears across the available reviews as the tutor associated with the school, covering A-level mathematics and physics as well as GCSE science. One former pupil, looking back several years after finishing school, credits sessions in the run-up to A-level maths with helping secure a place on a university course, pointing to punctual, well-prepared lessons and communication outside class time that made scheduling straightforward.

More recent reviews describe a similar pattern for younger pupils: a parent whose son received maths tuition mentions a positive, engaging atmosphere, while another parent describes a physics pupil as proactive and encouraged to take an active role in lessons rather than a passive one. A further review, from someone helped with A-level maths alongside separate GCSE science support, is brief but consistent in its account of useful support. Across the small number of reviews available, the picture that emerges is of one-to-one teaching built around a single subject specialist working with secondary-age pupils preparing for GCSE and A-level examinations, delivered within a limited weekend timetable rather than through weekday sessions.

I was tutored by Patrick during my A-level Maths studies in 2015–16. At the time, I tried several tutors, both online and in person, but Patrick stood out as the best by far for a number of reasons. He was always punctual and consistently came well prepared for each session. His communication outside of lesson time was excellent, which made scheduling easy and ensured that each session was tailored to my needs. I truly believe he played a critical role in helping me achieve my grades, which ultimately enabled me to secure a place on the course and at the university of my choice. Even 10 years later, I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.
