– Year 6 parent (London)

Richard tutored my daughter for the St Paul’s Girls’ School exams. She had learnt nothing relevant at school, so he had to begin from scratch. Over the course of their online lessons, he taught her English comprehension, critical thinking, creative writing and essay technique. His sessions were always varied and engaging, with a wide range of stimulating and appropriately challenging material. The homework he set expertly built upon the skills learnt in the lessons, and his marking / feedback was incredibly detailed and instructive. My daughter found Richard’s tutoring both hugely enjoyable and educationally invaluable: when she received her offer of a place from SPGS, one of her first reactions was to say that she’d never have achieved it without Richard. I would recommend him without hesitation.
