First Class Science Tuition

Stephen is a fantastic tutor who helped me get through GCSE from the start of year 11 until exams. A very intelligent and dedicated tutor, the advanced content I struggled with was explained to be in calm and coherent manner, often using visual tools, powerpoints and short videos, enabling me to gain an understanding I did not have from my teachers.
My areas of weakness were identified straight away from the initial assessments lesson. Exam questions were provided as homework which I found very useful.
I was originally predicted grades 655 at the end of year 10 but with Stephen’s incredible help and support, I am thrilled to say that I have been awarded grade 999 for my Triple Sciences. I cannot thank Stephen enough for his help and I highly recommend him as a tutor. I am now considering sitting A level Chemistry. More...

We signed up with Stephen half way through y10 for my daughter who was struggling with combined science. Stephen carried out a thorough initial assessment for our first session to identify where the gaps in her knowledge were and tailored his tuition based on what my daughter needed. His online session were fantastic, using one-to-one video call but sharing the screen so my daughter could visually see and understand his teachings.
Everything was tailored and structured around where she needed help, supplying past paper exam based questions for homework to also work on exam technique. All homework was marked and returned before the next session and Stephen went through all homework to make sure my daughter understood where she was going wrong and how to correct mistakes.
We can’t thank Stephen enough for the work he has done for our daughter, her confidence soured and she discovered a love of science she didn’t know she had!! She progressed from predicted 6s to achieving 9s and is now taking Biology A Level!
Best decision we’ve made so far! Thank you Stephen! More...

Stephen is an enthusiastic and exceptional tutor who does much to reassure anxious parents whose daughter has lost her zest for Sciences. He has formidable knowledge within his subject field and in skills such as organisation, time management, exam techniques and helped create study schedules that actually work.

Emma has found Stephen to be very friendly, approachable and very helpful. His communication is excellent and she really enjoyed his sessions. We were very apprehensive with online tutoring but have been pleasantly surprised on the effectiveness. He prepares for each session in advance, with the lessons always starting on time. He is friendly, understanding, and easy to get on with. Emma is generally shy with new people; I appreciate Stephen’s ability to make one feel at ease in a conversation. He makes it okay to make mistakes, which has proven to be very effective at encouraging Emma to be more active than in class or with other tutors we have had.
Stephen lets you feel like you are perfectly capable of doing what you need to. He also adapts to his tutee’s needs and preferences in things like the pace at which you go through the material, level of detail you go into and how much homework you want to have, if any.

As our daughter has processing issues, it makes it difficult to write, especially while talking. Stephen makes sure to pause to ensure Emma understands concepts before proceeding and she makes very clear revision notes during the lesson. He is patient and never rushes our daughter, only continuing when she says she is ready to move on. Stephen gives thorough feedback with constructive criticism and attention to detail as well as much-needed praise on strong points of your response. It is clear that Stephen puts a lot of effort into his work, and is dedicated to helping his students, offering to assist with any questions or difficulties you may have between sessions. What I especially like about Stephen is that he challenges and encourages our daughter to push limits.

Before we started utilising Stephen’s support, for her end of year 10 school exams, Emma achieved 655 for his Triple Science GCSE. After 10 months of excellent tuition with Stephen, Emma has achieved an amazing 999 for her Sciences.

We highly recommend Stephen for his tremendous guidance, excellent teaching approach and care. Thank you so much Stephen! More...

Stephen is a very inspirational and dedicated tutor. We have used many tutors in the past and by far, Stephen is the best tutor we have ever used. He is professional, extremely knowledgeable and cares for the interest and development of his students.

My son has been struggling with his Sciences GCSE and lacked motivation. In a short space of time and with quite an intense number of summer online lessons, I have watched my son go from unconfident and about to give up in his Sciences to so confident wanting to consider studying Biology and Chemistry for A levels. My son has said Stephen is by far one of the best teachers he has ever had and looks forwards to his lessons.

Through his interactive PowerPoint lessons that are tailor made for my son, Stephen has without a doubt increased my son’s knowledge, confidence and understanding of the Sciences. Stephen provides very clear and detailed notes complimented with comprehensive exam questions to test understanding and exam techniques. He provides clear instructions on how to study and helps with make effective study schedules.

He is a very experienced, thorough and organised tutor and I cannot recommend Stephen highly enough. We will be asking Stephen to help our daughter when it’s her turn. More...
