Gary prepared my daughter for the 9-year entrance exam into a private school. Gary is an excellent tutor. He combined work during the sessions with homework really well, and determined and targeted weaknesses and loopholes in my daughter's knowledge really fast. I had regular feedback on the progress that my daughter made. He also informed me about what she needed to work on a bit more. Most importantly, after lessons with Gary, my daughter was confident about her exam.
