My son only had a few sessions with Ricky prior to entrance exams to build his confidence, but he responded really well to him as a tutor. The little boost was all he needed to plug some gaps and consequently he went on to be offered a Headmasters award at one school and an offer for Brighton which we are all thrilled about.
