Neil is a highly skilled and patient tutor. Neil tutored my son in Maths, in a short timeline Neil elevated his abilities in numeracy and as a result we saw improvement in his grades. If we had a little longer I am sure we would have improved further. I would recommend Neil as he is invested in the sucess of your child.
Thanks Raj. It was a pleasure working with you and your son. Supportive parents are so important. Well done to your son for putting in the hard work and consequently making good progress. My best wishes to him for his A-level studies. Neil
From Farida
Very very good teacher, knowledgable, reliable and always updating me on my son’s progress. I highly recommend him
Thank you for the feedback. It was a pity that I could only teach your son for such a short time before the virus intervened. I do wish him every success in his future studies and future career.
From Elinor
Neil has been excellent at tutoring my daughter for her A Level maths. She is a year 2 A level student and her confidence in the subject has grown significantly in the time that Neil has been tutoring. Unfortunately, we will never truly know what impact it would have had on her grade as this crisis has cancelled all official testing but I am confident that she would have made significant progress. Neil was quick to offer online tutoring for my daughter, but with the cancellation of all exams, we did not need to take him up on his offer. Without a doubt, if the situation changes at all, we will be back in touch with him. Thank you Neil for being so patient and understanding and I wish you well.
It has been my pleasure to teach your daughter, Elinor. She always prepared well beforehand and this made working together much easier. Her positive attitude and determination to succeed will stand her well in the future. My best wishes accompany her.
Neil
From Toby
It has been a pleasure teaching your son (Year 12). He has been making such good progress and it is a pity that our contact sessions have had to be terminated.
From Tina
Neil was both professional and friendly and was totally approachable. His teaching was impeccable and my son thoroughly enjoyed his sessions with Him… He obtained a high level grade 7. With Neil’s support and hard work from my son, results day was a proud moment for us all… I would not hesitate to recommend Neil and hope that everyone experiences the same care and attention to detail as we did. Thanks again Neil
Teaching someone who always follows up on the work done and who knows what he wants to do and asks questions is a pleasure. Your son worked well and certainly deserves the marks he achieved. My best wishes for his future studies accompany him; with his positive attitude he should do well. Neil
From Rebecca
We are very grateful to Neil for his excellent GCSE maths support. With a few short months to go before GCSEs Neil identified key areas for improvement in my son's learning, and was patient, professional and thorough in his teaching. My son really enjoyed his sessions with Neil and as his understanding grew so did his confidence. We are delighted to say that his exams went well and he achieved a grade 7 this summer. We wish we had found Neil sooner! Thank you Neil!
It was a pleasure teaching your son. I loved his enthusiastic approach and inquiring mind. He followed up well on the lessons and worked conscientiously. He deserved his good results. Well done, keep up the good work. Best wishes for A-levels.
From Aaron
Excellent tutor, that helped my son to get his required grades at GCSE level. Would definitely recommend and use again.
It was a pleasure teaching your son. He grasped concepts quickly and followed up well. My best wishes accompany him.
From Anne Marie
Neil tutored my daughter before her A level Maths she was predicated an E and passed with an A. She loved her lessons with Neil and got a better understanding of Maths.
It was a pleasure teaching your daughter. Despite her many commitments she did her work diligently. Near the end she was sometimes better at solving problems than I was. She certainly deserved the marks she achieved.
From Maddie
We are so glad to have found Neil!! Our daughter was struggling with GCSE Maths and her grades were not looking good. She has now achieved a Level 4 GCSE - which is a good couple of grades higher than she had done in her mocks!
From the moment we got in touch we took to Neil. He initially phoned for a chat to find out more about our daughter's situation. We arranged a first lesson and found Neil very sensitive to our daughter's needs and with a great sense of humour. Neil is incredibly patient and gentle - and within the first lesson gave our daughter the confidence that a Level 4 was possible. Our daughter liked Neil instantly and responded really well to him. She very quickly discovered that she really liked Maths after all - thanks to Neil! We woud highly recommend Neil as sensitive, patient and methodical tutor who obviously loves his role in helping young people achieve their goals. We would also like to thank Neil and his lovely wife (who also tutors), for welcoming us into their home and for their hospitalty.
Thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure teaching your daughter. She was always willing to try, and remained positive when facing difficulties. Congratulations to her on her very pleasing exam results. My best wishes accompany her as she moves on to her chosen A-level subjects. Neil
From Matthew
Many thanks Neil for the great tuition of my daughter. She performed really well in her A level maths and this enabled her to get to Bristol University on the course she wanted.
It was a pleasure teaching your daughter Matthew. Well done to her on the hard work and pleasing results. Keep up the good work at University.
From Tomas
Neil is a phenomenal maths tutor and within my short time spent with him he managed to ignite in me a profound interest for maths. Not only did he make the typically mundane subject of maths interesting, but also fun, so much so that when my exams did arrive I felt incredibly prepared and confident in my ability. I would highly recommend Neil as a tutor to anyone who wants just that extra push to secure the highest grades possible. Thank you Neil, you are amazing and really inspirational. Thank you for all you have done for me. - Tomas Sierko
Thanks Thomas for your kind remarks, but I don't recognise myself. It was a pleasure working with an industrious and thoughtful young man like you. I do hope that all your results are very good. My best wishes accompany you for success in the future. Neil
From Annemarie
Good, clear tuition. Provided different ways of handling problems. Relaxed teaching atmosphere
It is a pleasure teaching Annemarie's daughter. She is always cheerful and helpful in solving problems. She is quick to learn and I wish her every success in her exams this year. Neil
From Emily
Neil has been and still is a brilliant tutor for the IB HL Maths course. He always prepares fully for any session and is willing to put in as much time as is needed. He has been instrumental in helping me fully get to grips with the trickiest parts of the syllabus, and is willing to explain things in many different ways to find the one which will best help me understand. After just a few months of tutoring, my Maths level has gone up from a 5 to a 6, with a level 7 now being a realistic hope, and Neil’s help has definitely been the biggest factor in this! I can confidently say that Neil is able to significantly help anyone studying any level of maths at school or sixth form, no matter the course, as he has shown in his approach to tutoring IB HL Maths.
It is a pleasure working with Emily. She works hard and is quick to grasp concepts. Thank you very much for your comments. I will try to live up to them. I do hope that you will realise all your ambitions in your exams in May. Neil
From Karen
We have nothing but praise and thanks to Neil for all his expertise, knowledge and enthusiasm for the subject of Maths. Neil quickly established a good rapport with my son and gave him back his confidence and belief after being badly let down by his school in his most crucial year of study for GCSE. His lessons were always on time, he was very accommodating, fitting in extra sessions when required, and his lessons flew by. He has a very calm and gentle manner about him, and engaged my son covering a multitude of topics. He was able to break down the various elements of questions and calculations, explaining them from different perspectives, in a simpler way, to help the student digest the information and grasp concepts. Neil has a wealth of knowledge and great teaching technique. He is very professional and we would have no hesitation in recommending his services. Thank you Neil for all your support and for fighting our corner. Wishing you all the best for the future.
Thank you very much for your kind comments. It was a pleasure working with you and your son and I am glad that I was able to help. I very soon discovered that your son did not lack talent and that he responded well to a challenge. Well done on a pleasing GCSE result. Best wishes to him for all his endeavours in this new school year.
From Cheryl
Neil is a lovely tutor and was very friendly. He struggled with tuition for my primary school aged daughter. Neil seems to have a skillset for a much older child. He was honest at the end of the session to say he didn't feel suitable and would rather not continue teaching my daughter. It is hard to give a score since we only had the one session with Neil but I imagine 11+ students may benefit more from Neils' teaching methods than a child at the lower age of primary.
M was still pre-school when I taught her in August, but she proved to be bright and knowledgeable and quick to grasp concepts. I enjoyed working with her and wish her every success in the years ahead.
From Sue
Very attentive tutor, helps thoroughly with learning how to solve maths problems and goes through the key points to solving exam paper questions. Is always on time and teaches to help you learn and understand maths. Would recommend to everyone, I've had many maths teachers who cant teach and can only show how to solve things or the other way around but Neil is the first maths teacher I've met who can do both! I've gotten an A with his help and am on my way to do architecture in London! Thanks Neil.
Well done on your excellent results Sue. I am pleased that you could achieve your targets. It was a pleasure to teach a talented young lady. Keep up the good work at University. Thank you for your kind comments. Neil
From Jayne
Neil was brilliant for my daughter who needed a confidence boost after her GCSE mock result in January. His patient and calm approach worked wonders and she ended up getting a level 9 in the real exam in June. Thank you Neil
What a pleasure to teach this young lady. She was well organised and knew what she wanted to learn. She provided useful insights as we solved testing questions together. Congratulations on a well deserved top level mark. Keep up the good work.
From JOSEPH
Neil is probably the best Maths tutor you will find. My son needed help with GCSE Maths, a bit late in the day, as - to quote Neil - 'Tom is good at maths, he just doesn't know a lot of maths.'. He developed an immediate rapport with my son, to the extent that Tom looked forwards to the lessons, even after a day at school. After one particular lesson, he came out and said - ''I'm like a sponge - I'm literally absorbing maths. He's absolutely brilliant (why didn't we use him earlier)''. Needless to say, in the GCSEs, Tom jumped 2 grades from his mocks to an 8. Neil is also a true gentleman, and it was always a pleasure to chat with him.
Thank you very much for your kind words. It was a pleasure teaching Tom. I am pleased that he used his talents, worked hard and did so well. My best wishes to Tom for his A-level studies
From Eme
Neil is an all round, excellent tutor. He is highly skilled, very professional, kind and helpful. He has been working with my son for his upcoming GCSE exams. My son is now more confident with maths, and now has a much better understanding of topics that he'd previously found difficult. I would highly recommend Neil for anyone looking for help with GCSE mathematics.
I am enjoying teaching Jordan. He works well and I appreciate him coming with problems with which he needs help. He has responded very positively and I trust that he will do well in his forthcoming exams.
From Devi
Neil is an excellent teacher with a great passion for the subject and very thorough teaching style. My son has seen improvements in a very short time whilst preparing for his A levels and is now much more confident with his ability to work through problems.
It is a pleasure teaching Devi's son. Last week he was not well, but still came to the lesson. I do hope that his enthusiasm and perseverance will pay off and that his results this year will be very good.
From Natalie
Very meticulous method of teaching. Helped my son gain confidence in just a short time. Highly recommended.
It was a pleasure teaching Samuel. He prepared well, was very responsive and kept me on my toes with good questions.
From Anita
My son had started his education in UK in Year 8 and hence was given target grades as B. He aspired to earn A* grades and required support in Maths. Neil turned out to be the great support we were looking for. Neil's way of teaching maths made Anish understand some of the most difficult concepts. Neil befriended Anish by discussing topics of his interests. Neil's unmatched energy and knowledge of the subject kept us amazed! Thanks Neil - you made him achieve A*.
Anish always knew what work he would like to cover. He is diligent and hard working and at each lesson he was ready with questions which we could discuss. Before the exams he prepared conscientiously by doing past papers thoroughly and mastering all the details. He was a pleasure to teach. Anish earned and deserved his A* and I wish him every success in his future studies.
From Mamta
Neil is an excellent Maths Tutor. He was patient, meticulous and very supportive throughout. My daughter is in her chosen field and University thanks to Neil's efforts.

From Ann

My son has gained a lot of confidence in tackling Additional Maths problems and past exam questions and is really pleased with his latest mock results. Neil is an excellent teacher (many thanks).
It is a pleasure to teach pupils who persevere and work hard. Jonny is an enthusiastic student who has made excellent progress, may he go from strength to strength.
From Jan
My daughter was struggling with Maths and we approached Neil for help with her Tutoring. We have been very impressed with Neil's professionalism and expertise, and the proof is in our daughters confidence and understanding of the A-level Maths she needed to learn.
Neil managed to bring our daughter up to the required level in a very short amount of time, and has kept me as a parent informed every step of the way.
I would definitely highly recommend Neil, any child requiring help would be fortunate to have Neil Tutor them.
Many thanks Neil for your help and and time!
It has been a pleasure working with Chloe. She is hard working and diligent and very forgiving of my many errors. Chloe is determined to do well and I wish her every success in her examinations this year.
From Kumari
Neil worked with my son, Jehan to help him with his revision for GCSE Maths. I've found him to be very reliable and has very positive attitude and a good knowledge of maths. Neil is a patient and calm tutor. I believe he would be very good at guiding any student through their studies or examination preparation. He communicates very well. I can recommend him to any future clients. Kumari
Jehan has been a diligent and industrious pupil. I trust that his hard work is going to bring good rewards when the GCSE results are announced. My best wishes accompany him.
From Olawale
Excellent, excellent, excellent. Neil is a very committed tutor. Very accommodating, patient, understanding and above all, he knows his stuff. The improvement is my daughter's work has been significant. I will strongly recommend him to anyone.
The improvement is mainly due to your daughter's commitment. She has done well, by working hard and diligently consolidating her knowledge of each section which we have worked through. It is a pleasure teaching her.
From Jamil
Mr. Neil has extensively helped me on A-level maths. He has provided me with a new way to understand maths, this has developed my way of thinking and has allowed me to solve all types of problems. I would strongly recommend Mr Neil to anyone who is struggling or just needs polishing. Mr Neil uses practical as well as theoretical approaches when explaining basic mathematical concepts. my confidence has also been boosted, likewise, my accuracy is improving with every session. Thank you for your help!!
Jamil is keen to learn. He prepares well and always has many questions. He ensures that he understands every step of an explanation. I trust that Jamil will do much better in his next set of tests. It is a pleasure teaching him and I wish him much success with his Maths studies.
From Amanda
Excellent quick response, very obliging and good follow-up with telephone call and email confirmation.
It has been a pleasure teaching George. Each day he comes well prepared and with questions about problems which he finds difficult. He is working hard and I wish him every success in his exams.
From Michael
Neil was an excellent tutor and someone that I found it very easy to work with and extremely helpful. It is fair to say that I bombarded him with questions and he always led me to understand the solution and see some difficult maths in a simpler light. Without the guidance and tuition from Neil I doubt I would have been as successful in my AS level maths as I was. He was always very pleasant and welcoming and I would recommend him to anyone who needs a capable and professional tutor.
It is easy to teach somebody who has really thought about the problem and really wants to know the answer and the why and how of the solution. From his comment one can deduce that Michael was a keen and hardworking student. He was a pleasure to teach and I wish him every success in his future studies.
From John
Neil. Thank you for your great work. Jamie really enjoyed his time with you. Jamie's AS Level Maths marks rose as did his confidence in a subject that he had fallen out of love with. We loved your focused and methodical approach to tutoring. We would have no hesitation recommending you to prospective Maths students.
Working with Jamie on solving problems was a pleasure. Jamie was very quick to grasp concepts and forgiving when I made errors! We had fun together. Jamie was very diligent and calm under pressure. My best wishes accompany him in his future career.
From Adrian
Our daughter has responded really well to Neil and even though she has only had one lesson so far we feel confident that she will benefit from his support. She is keen to continue and is working to complete the homework set. Thank you Neil.
Thank you for your kind comments Adrian. I will do my best to live up to your expectations.
