We're very pleased to have found Derek -- he's been helping my year 6 and year 8 children in the run up to pre-tests and Common Entrance. My children get on with Derek extremely well, find his teaching very clear and have asked to see him again.
From Susan
Derek has worked with us for 5 years & tutored 2 of our sons to GCSE level in maths. We & they have been delighted with his work.
From Jonty
Derek has actually managed to inspire my maths hating teenager - well done!! Always on time and flexible.
From Frances
From Joanna
I would recommend Derek without hesitation. He arrives on time and starts work straight away. More importantly my son says he's a very good Maths teacher and he likes the way he presents and explains various theories.
From Tuhina
Derek has made maths fun for Charlotte who now looks forward to every session. He has been really helpful in explaining certain aspects of maths which Charlotte was struggling with and didn't have the confidence to approach - the difference in her in approaching these areas is very pleasing. He is very punctual and I would have no hesitation in recommending Derek to friends and family.
From Leslie
Very helpful and personable.
From Gail
Derek has only given my son three lessons so far and has boosted his confidence tremendously, he makes maths fun.
From Barbara
Derek arrived on time, established immediate rapport with both my sons and enthused them to explain a mathematical method to us after his departure. They are looking forward to the next session. He is an experienced and inspiring tutor.
From James
Derek is a extremely punctual and professional tutor, whom I would highly recommend. In a short space of time he taught my son a number of topics in order for him to go into his GCSE with confidence and the knowledge that he could actually do the exam. We now look forward to the results in August. Many thanks Derek.
From Janice
Derek provided a huge amount of input to my son's mathematics, not just ensuring he understood the concepts but instilling confidence in him that he could achieve a good result. Well structured and very patient. My son actually enjoyed every session, we just wish he covered more subjects!
