Tutoring Testimonials
“Alexander was great with Bella and made every lesson fun and interesting. She has been offered places from her top 3 choices and 2 of them were academic scholarships! He is a brilliant tutor who combined friendliness with drive.”
“Ally helped my with my work and made me more confident with it. He was more like a friend than a teacher. His lessons were really fun and I improved a lot with my work and I was very happy with my 11+ success.”
“…I just wanted to give some feedback on Ally - he has been great. A really kind, gentle man, perfect to work with my son. He’s making him feel great about everything which is important to me and teaching him well at the same time…”
"Dear Ally, thank you so much for everything. To go from getting Ds and Es to where I am now is just ridiculous. There is no way I could have done it without your help. Also, thanks for making me laugh until I cry. Many thanks, love from Gabby."
“Your approach is amazing and in just two sessions with Josh, it's turned things around. I'm feeling much better about things & however Josh does with his GCSE's, the most important thing is that he now has some support that works for him!"
"Thank you for helping me in basically everything, including surviving secondary school! I can never thank you enough for the techniques you have taught me, that will help me in everyday life."

Kind Words from Families
LinkyThinks Learning Resources
“[The LinkyThinks Descriptionary book is] a brilliant, inspiring idea, beautifully realised to encourage kids to create their own masterpieces! Alexander may have inspired the next J.K. Rowling”

“...It made English fun and interesting for my daughter, Ella. She jumped from the middle to the top group in her class and her 11+ results were fantastic! She has been offered places from her top three school choices!”
"I love Comprehending Comprehension. The cartoon characters helped me understand what they wanted me to do in the exam. Also, I could look at the videos for revision and stop myself from getting freaked out."
“I purchased this for personal use with my son, who struggles to plan out his writing. We managed to write a great piece using the Word Wheels and we can't wait to use more of the tips on story planning.”
