My son has been tutored by Mr Heaven for the past year, in German and French. He has helped my son immensely. Mr Heaven has always been professional and flexible, especially with changing an arranged lesson at short notice. I would have no hesitation in recommending him. - Amanda W- Torquay
Chris has proved to be a fantastic teacher, patient and considerate, and most important adaptable to individual needs. Also a great knowledge of French and how it should be taught. Thanks Chris! - Alexis V- Budleigh Salterton
What I found most impressive was Chris´ ability to tailor a class to the (often very specific and obscure!) needs of his students. All of the classes were fun, energetic and conducted with the lightness of touch that is often required to make German grammar interesting. The biggest compliment I can pay is that my ability to read German improved rapidly. Thouroughly recommended. - James S- Exeter
Chris Heaven is an inspirational French teacher. In the seven months that Spike (aged 12) has been having French lessons with Chris, Spike has gone from having almost no French knowledge to enjoying the subject and making excellent progress.
Wendy Jacobs, retired Executive Headteacher, Lambeth. - W Jacobs- Torrington
Chris is an excellent teacher who is enthusiastic, encouraging and has tailored my lessons to my personal requirements. He has also been flexible which I have really appreciated, as I have been able to fit the lessons around my full-time job. - Hannah D-Exeter
The help I recieved was outstanding. A structured list of what we needed to achieve was made, something which really helped me to see my own personal progression. All of the grammar I had to learn had previously confused me, but Chris explained everything so brilliantly that I wondered how I hadn't understood it in the first place. I thoroughly enjoyed learning French again and my confidence with the language has soared. - Sarah-Jane L-- Exeter
A very good teacher. My son felt confident about French for the first time, and looked forward to lessons. - Mrs P. -- Exeter
Before Harriet came to you, we were both very worried about how she would manage to cope with the amount and complexity of AS study on her own. You have given Harriet her confidence back and she is now looking forward to taking her exams so that she can demonstrate her knowledge and skills and gain official recognition for them. - Mrs N Bray - Barnstaple
(continued- from Mrs N Bray)
Since you have been working with Harriet, I have seen her passion for study return and she is now considering a future which involves university study at the highest level. This is something I have always known she is capable of and would love, but your faith and encouragement has inspired her to believe in herself again.

I honestly cannot thank you both enough for everything – your impact has been above and beyond - Mrs N Bray- Barnstaple
