Matthew tutored my son James in French from Christmas 2010 until May 2011. He only achieved just under 50% in his French mock exam but went on to achieve an A grade in his final French International GCSE examination with only 5 months of his tuition. Matthew as well as revising the grammar in detail with James set past papers in his lessons under exam conditions to improve his standard. We are therefore very happy to recommend Matthew to any other parents wanting tuition as he pays great attention to detail in both his explanations and spotting mistakes in a way and to a degree not seen by many tutors.

Common Entrance

Mathew is an excellent tutor who helped my son with his Maths and French studies. He quickly assessed my sons needs for the upcoming common entrance exams and identified and addressed the specific areas where he was struggling and created a learning plan which has helped him considerably in both subjects. He is also very organised, setting questions to be completed before the next visit and tackling all the key learning points. Throughout, he gave constructive feedback on how the tutoring was progressing and what my son needed to do. My son was very grateful for the help Mathew provided and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for an experienced tutor to help their son or daughter.

Matthew has done a brilliant job teaching French to our 14 years old son, by using a methodical approach when learning the verbs. He gave David lots of confidence and a positive outlook on the subject. Thank you, Matthew!

We sought Matthew’s services when my son’s French marks didn’t appear to be reflecting his potential. Matthew is knowledgeable and encouraging. He provided reliable and interesting sessions that helped my son enormously, allowing him to become more enthusiastic and engaged. Matthew was able to effectively offer appropriate extension activities whilst supporting what was was being taught at school. We would highly recommend Matthew as a French tutor. My son achieved an A* in his GCSE.
