Maths tutoring with Alex. My son found it really helpful and Alex’s calm approach was just what he needed when struggling with his maths in lockdown.

My son was in dire need of tutorial support for GCSC mathematics and sciences, with his exams due in 6 months. We had the good fortune of Alex's involvement spanning Maths and Physics.
Alex's engagement, depth of knowledge, high standards of teaching and constant feedback ensured the learning process was fun, engaging and rewarding. My son looked forward to his classes and strove to ensure he was prepared in advance, as there were always assignments he was expected to have completed in readiness for the next session.
Overall a rewarding experience, reflected in creditable GCSC grades.
I would like to thank Alex for his support and contribution to these outcomes. I also wish to extend thanks to Katrina and Hannah, who oversaw the entire logistics and admin process, ensuring ours was a seamless, well orchestrated experience.

My son needed GCSC tutorial support for Chemistry, Biology and Physics, his mock exams serving as a clarion call to action.
We were already availing ourselves of the services of the Tutor Surgery in a different subject and extended their brilliant service to encompass sciences. Ife was recommended to us and we got off to a flying start, with no time to spare. It was a perfect match. Ife's engagement was the exemplar. His depth of knowledge, high standards of teaching, constant feedback, counsel (to parent and child) and above all, self sacrifice through inordinate flexibility ensured the learning process was fun, engaging and could be easily moved around at short notice to accommodate a burgeoning school schedule. My son's improvement within this period was noteworthy and Ife's contributions, praiseworthy.
Overall a rewarding experience that was worth the investment, reflected in creditable GCSC grades.
I would like to thank Ife for his support and the role he played towards such good outcomes. I also wish to extend thanks to Katrina and Hannah, who oversaw the entire logistics and admin process, ensuring ours was a seamless, well orchestrated experience.

My 8 year old daughter has been attending piano lessons with Alex since the the age of 4.
I have been extremely impressed with the clear and thorough way of teaching that Alex uses which has resulted in her gaining a good understanding of both the piano technique and music reading.
Alex makes lessons fun and focussed and her confidence grows each week - in addition, she thoroughly enjoys each lesson and can see her own progression now she is getting older.
The way Alex utilises the time of each lesson is extremely efficient and all communication regarding at home practice and any books or equipment that is required is excellent and clear.
We would highly recommend Alex as a tutor and look forward to may more years of our weekly Piano lessons.

My son is quiet and not very confident. Sally our Tutor has been wonderful and my Son is now full of confidence to tackle his year 11 Assessments.
Sally is very patient and understanding which is what he needs. If i could rate more than 5 Stars i would.
Highly Recommend The Tutor Surgery.

My 8 year old son had 3 trial ukulele lessons via Zoom with Josh and although he decided not to continue, we thought Josh was great! He helped my nervous and shy son to feel relaxed and had a lovely manner with him. Would recommend. More...

I wasn't sure about the online lessons but I have to say it has exceeded my expectations, Alex is great and Keeps GABRIELLE engaged, motivated and concentrated for the entire lesson. I strongly recommend..

My 15 year old daughter used to dread Maths lessons and now enjoys them with Diana. When I asked her why she replied “she’s easy to talk to, understand & follow, as well as always encouraging”.

My daughter started with Rob after a disastrous Year 10 with a very poor maths teacher.
Rob built my daughter’s confidence quickly and closed the gaps in her understanding.
As a result (despite Covid) she passed her GCSE maths to a good standard.
I would not hesitate in recommending Rob.

My son enjoyed his piano lessons with Alex. He is patient, funny and experienced in teaching. It's shame that we had to leave due to long distance (Alex is based in South east London and we live west of London) and find a new teacher nearby. Would recommend Alex to friends!

My 7 year old daughter has been attending piano lessons for two years and since the beginning I have been extremely impressed with the service Alex at The Tutor Surgery provides. The teaching techniques are very effective and the results are impressive. My daughter really enjoys each lesson and clearly understands exactly what she has learned in the lesson and what she needs to do in preparation for the next. Alex is very approachable and ensures the lessons are fun yet productive and focused. He is very supportive outside of the lessons and all communication and lesson plans are clear and easy to use. During the last few weeks The Tutor Company has worked hard to continue lessons remotely and this has worked just as well as face to face lessons with really good progress for my daughter. This is a fantastic local company with great results with a fun learning approach. Highly reccomended. More...

Alex is an amazing and inspirational tutor who approaches each and every lesson with dedication. He clearly and interestingly explains to my daughter the areas that she doesn't understand adding a fun element to it :-). Thank you for your hard work!

We had great Science tuition from Alex for our daughter, from Year 9 and into Year 10. She wanted to bolster her knowledge of, and confidence in, the three sciences. Alex provided excellent teaching, in a friendly environment, and she developed her Science capabilities greatly. We were very pleased with Alex - he is a 5-star tutor. More...

We've been very happy with the maths tutoring with Alex. My son lacked confidence with maths and working with Alex has really boosted his self-esteem.
He has really grown in confidence and felt very well-prepared for his GCSE.
He has also built up a strong and positive rapport with Debbie with science - so much so, he has asked for a couple of sessions over the summer to prepare for his A levels.
