We have been hugely grateful for Alan's help in getting our son prepared for his Maths IB exams. Upon embarking on the tutoring, his grades were worryingly low but by the end of the period of tutoring significant improvement in his ability had been made. Alan did an excellent job at really helping him have more confidence in his ability and the subject matter as a whole, in order to hopefully achieve his full potential in what is accepted globally as a very challenging exam. We would like to particularly point out Alan's calm and thorough teaching methods, which worked well for our son. A big thank you to Alan for guiding our son through this tricky period of his schooling.

What parents and students say

Average rating: 4.6 stars from 16 reviews • 100% would use again

Our daughter had an excellent experience with Alan, with whom she worked on upper level maths in the IB system. His instruction provided such a strong base that she is excelling in the subsequent school year too. Alan is an engaging instructor with deep knowledge of various school systems (IB, GCSE), and tailored the learning appropriately for our daughter.

I am very thankful for the insightful tutoring Alan provided to my daughter Gabi. The supporting material he provided, the preparation and explanation style were ideal for her improvement and understanding of the complex math topics.
