My Testimonials

“You seem to be highly motivational – and fun, subtly pushing her to do more than she thinks she is capable of - and prepared to go the extra mile e.g. hand writing theory in a colourful visual way is real evidence to your dedication to the teaching/tutoring profession. We are so grateful and hope your enthusiasm and knowledge continues to support and benefit other students”.
- Mary Hutchings - daughter at Chipping Campden School, Glos (Year 11)
"My son gained valuable knowledge and confidence through Toby’s Science tutoring. His exam grades improved significantly. Toby is a role model and delivers his subject material at the right level with great enthusiasm."
- Steven Gabb - son at Chipping Campden School, Glos (Year 8)
“Toby was very enthusiastic about everything he taught, and used diverse teaching methods which really helped. He was patient and helped me get over my fear of Chemistry!”
- Venetia Martin - Chipping Campden School (Year 11)
“I know that William has hugely enjoyed his lessons with you. He has found them really fun and engaging. William was very disappointed that we had to finish”.
- Sarah Sweeney - son at St. Catherines School CC (year 5)
“My tutoring sessions were very useful as well as enjoyable. Having the sessions regularly helped me keep on track for my revision sessions for my exams. Toby kept pushing me to revise certain equations, which when it came to the exams were very helpful. Toby had a lot of background knowledge around the subject (A2 Chemistry). My career choices will be broadened in the future”.

Toby has been tutoring my son (aged 6) for about 8 weeks. He has made a huge improvement to my son’s reading/writing and arithmetic skills. Toby is creative with his delivery of work and it is exciting and challenging too. He is energetic and professional with his approach and I would have no hesitation with recommending Toby to help with students at primary level.
