Testimonials

‘Having Alex tutor me in Sociology has been very helpful. He has made sure to improve my understanding of the subject by explaining complex ideas to me and making sure to go over them until they are clear. In addition, he is also always very helpful when it comes to marking essays and indicating what I can do to raise my grades. I have already seen a massive improvement in my work and he is making sure that I will get the best possible outcome at the end of year 13.’ — Year 13 student
