Kristen Johnston2024-01-12recommends Dan was very helpful with my daughter for her GCSE resit exams. He was patient and always informed me of how she was doing and how we could help her outside of tutoring. Thanks to Dan my daughter passed her resits and she is very proud of herself. Sherill Fuller-Myers2023-08-24recommends I would like to recommend Dan, he only started to work with my daughter for around 12 weeks, just prior to the GCSEs Luckily for us he had a slot on his group online sessions. I'm thinking if she never got that help from him then it might have been another story lol ???? My daughter said she learnt "Stuff" from Dan's sessions. Whatever Stuff means lol We thank you so Much!! Dan, you need to showcase that your students 100% Pass or whatever %. Dan needs to be Nationwide and the kids say his Cool ????, so that's a Plus!!! ????definitely enrol your child & very affordable???????????? Stay Blessed!!! Rockell Patterson2023-08-20recommends Daniel words can't express my gratitude for your input in my daughter's successful A-level outcomes. Before you came into my daughters life, she had no hope of passing Maths so she put it on the back seat to focus on the subjects that she was already mastering. Daniel, from the very first lesson, my daughter had with you, she realised the possibility of passing Maths. After only 3 months of tutoring only once per week, my daughter passed Maths A-level along with 3 other subjects and is on her way to Oxford University. I hope my daughter writes her own review because she is impressed with your teaching skills and she thinks you're a Maths genius. I appreciate that you always provided feedback and suggestions to me, even when I don't ask for it. This helped me to support my daughter in the months leading up to her exam. Daniel, you really care for your students which is evident in you providing free online lessons for your students and whoever was sitting exams in the weeks leading up to the exam, which my friend daughter benefitted from and commented how useful the sessions were. I will definitely recommend you. Thank you for preparing my daughter for the journey ahead and making the world a better place. Rockell Patterson Charmian T Riley2023-06-15recommends So glad I found Dan for tutoring my daughter. She is in year 11 and therefore was due to sit her GCSE but had lost confidence in herself and starting panicking due to upcoming exam. Dan had made her regain confidence through this understanding, explanations and patience. Whilst on the sessions my daughter had said how he is amazing at explaining methods and wished he was her teacher at school as she now understands soo much more. She completed her last GCSE Maths yesterday and came back happy as she was able to complete all of the paper, something I didn’t think I would see. Dan is also thorough and polite when messaging parents to advise on any details. Would definitely recommend ???? Elene Elene2023-05-30recommends Daniel has been tutoring my daughter for the last two years to support and prepare her for GCSE exams. Daniel's tutoring has been the best investment we have ever made into our child's education. Daniel is the most skilled and resourced professional who always has his pupil's interests as his priority. We first booked lessons with Daniel when my daughter needed to cover gaps in her knowledge left by the lack of teaching during the Pandemic. Soon, it became clear that Daniel was making a marked difference in my daughter's learning; Her maths achievements started to improve. Her homework was no longer a chore for her, she was getting amazing results in her school assessments and mock exams. Her confidence in maths increased noticeably, she started enjoying maths and appreciating her mathematical abilities and skills and decided to pursue maths at A level. Dan created a learning environment where my daughter can fully display her good understanding of maths as well as her lack of knowledge or failure to grasp. She is encouraged to ask and ask and ask again when/if she does not understand, forgets or finds something does not make sense. She knows how to question until finds the solution to the difficult questions. Dan supported my daughter's education with his own hard work and dedication to bring out the best in his students, he brought her to the point where she can face her upcoming exams without any fear of failure but the expectation of success. Daniel is always teaching, there is always an accessible group lesson or a free lesson available. Daniel is the most respectful and considerate professional, he is very approachable, friendly, understanding and always happy to help. Dan's openness to communicate makes thighs so much easier for us. He is always willing to understand and listen to our circumstances and find a solution. Dan is very organised, has lots of group and private options on offer. He knows how to make teaching maths enjoyable, effective and rewarding. My daughter found Daniel's teaching method and delivery always lead to the achievement of her desired marks. We are very proud of our daughter's gained confidence and knowledge and her level of preparedness for her upcoming GCSE exams 2023. Thank you very much! Kamilah Tomlinson2023-05-14recommends My son is in year 10 and has been working with Daniel, online for just over a year. In this time my son’s confidence in maths has increased significantly. He has moved from middle to top set in maths. Daniel had developed a great relationship with my son and has a gentle and encouraging approach to teaching. We will be working with Daniel until my son completes his GCSEs. I would not hesitate to recommend Daniel. Thanks Dan!! Debbie Lawrence2022-09-02recommends Dan this is just a quick note thank you for helping my son with his maths. As a result he passed his GCSE. Your 1:1 tuition helped strengthen his weak areas greatly and your exam tips prepared him well with confidence to sit the exam. You can imagine how elated he was when he found out he had passed. I’ll have no hesitation in recommending you to others. Best wishes. Maddison Chirwa2022-08-30recommends Dan was the best option for my Children. He is young and so got on very well with my kids. His great communication during lessons allowed my kids to very quickly learn topics that they used to struggle learning at school. He always made sure the lessons were fun and interactive which removed the boring side of revision. My kids really benefited from him and one of them managed to get a grade 8 in maths, which is 2 grades higher than his mock grade just months before. In just a couple of months, he managed to inspire my kids to push forward and achieve their goals. Thank you Dan. Thadog House2022-08-26recommends I can’t recommend Daniel enough! My Daughter who has dyscalculia has always struggled with maths to the point she would have anxiety attacks preparing herself for maths class the next day. 3 months before her GCSE’s she relented and said I’ll give tutoring a try. Daniel has a great approach and instantly put her at ease. He teaches tips and tricks that really work. Her school teacher actually made several comments of, ‘Who taught you how to do that, your tutor?’ After only 3 months of weekly sessions my daughter had gone from grade 2, never passing a maths exam, to passing her GCSE with a high grade 4. Thanks to Daniel she can take an extra A level subject instead of resitting maths! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Davina Abrah2022-08-26recommends My daughter has always struggled with Maths. After her mock exam, we decided to use Dan to help boost her confidence in Maths. After just a few months, her confidence and understanding of maths improved alot and she managed to pass her Maths GCSE!! Dan’s calm and friendly approach with banter in between really helped her to relax, which took away her previous anxiety around maths. Now he is tutoring my son in preparation for GCSES next year, I look forward to returning here with another great testimony ????????????
