“Tom was really good at explaining difficult concepts in Maths and made them seem easy.” (Mathematics A-Level)
Economics
“My son lacked confidence after his AS level Economics exam and felt he did not fully understand the fundamentals of the subject. Tom’s approach was excellent in that they discussed current affairs and economics scenarios rather than only looking to complete past test papers. This approach came into its own when my son was doing his second A2 paper. It was complicated and he panicked; he then fell back on the approach he had learned with Tom’s Tutoring. By thinking the question through, as they had done during their discussions, he worked out his answer. I think this was definitely a testament to Tom’s style of teaching. I would recommend him very highly as an economics tutor.” (Economics A-Level)
“When I first approached Tom I was seriously struggling with economics and not confident of a good grade at all!

Thanks Tom – I couldn’t have done it without you!” (Economics A-Level)

‘Tom is an excellent tutor who was able to identify the weak areas in my work immediately. He helped me to structure all of my work and to improve my module marks considerably.

As a result I achieved straight A module grades in economics A level, for which i am extremely grateful!’ (Economics A Level)

Politics
“Tom is the best teacher I’ve ever had and explains things so that I can actually understand them and keep them in my mind rather than just forgetting them after the exam. He managed to teach me two A-levels in three months as well as helping with university applications and I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have got into Oxford without his help. Having not studied for a while I was pretty nervous, but he took the time to make sure I thoroughly grasped concepts and wasn’t just bluffing through. I really recommend studying with Tom as he provided the depth of learning and extra knowledge that makes subjects interesting and enjoyable. ” (Politics and Economics, A Level)
‘Tom helped me achieve a grade I never thought was achievable. I found information in my college class was put across poorly and found that Tom’s clear and informative method was extremely helpful and included a good balance of relevant material. His prepared essay layout was very useful and after using it I noticed a big improvement in my work and grades. Tutoring from Tom was one the best decisions I made in college and highly recommend him for anyone who needs help with Government and Politics at A level.” (Politics A-Level)
“Tom was an excellent tutor and certainly helped me achieve a much higher grade than I expected. Not only is Tom a very capable and understanding individual; he was everything you could ask for in a tutor – reliable, friendly, organized and he knew precisely what areas of the subject needed improvement. Particularly, the essay writing structure Tom taught me was the key to getting an A grade in Politics, in addition to marking practice essays and returning them promptly with constructive feedback. We highly recommend Tom for anybody studying Politics at A-Level. ” (Politics A-Level)
“Just a line to thank you for all your help. As last year, your prompt responses and detailed insight have proved invaluable to me in finalising my essay.” (Politics Degree, Loughborough University)
I studied Politics AS and A2 with Tom and even though we didn’t have a lot of time he made it so simple for me to understand. I now feel so much more intelligent than I did before and able to discuss Politics in conversations with it not being a hassle. I really enjoyed my time with Tom and will miss my lessons. (Politics A-Level)
Philosophy & Logic
“Always punctual and professional, yet not your boring typical tutor. Genuinely felt as though he wanted you to pass as opposed to just getting paid. Quickly assessed the best way in which to help me understand the module and not only did I pass the exam, but I got a 1st! Would recommend him to anyone struggling to grasp any module or exam. Thanks for everything bro !” (Philosophy Degree, Formal Logic Module, Warwick University)
