Matthew is a very kind and helpful tutor who helped me in my Maths A Level when i was extremely behind, even at such short notice before the exams. In the end I managed to go to university to study Biomedical Science! Matthew structures his lessons very well and always makes sure to set homework for anyone to consolidate their learning. He teaches concepts step by step and made sure I didn’t continue until I understood the topic. He is an excellent tutor and I strongly recommend him.

Matthew has been a fantastic tutor to our 6 year old son for chess. Our son had no chess experience before working with Matthew and he found his love for the game. We focused on interest initially to ensure he enjoys the game and the lessons. He started working with Matthew when he was 5y old and. Highly recommend Matthew!

Matthew was great with my son who thoroughly enjoyed Chess, Maths and Spanish tutoring from Matthew. He is reliable, friendly and happy to work things through at an appropriate pace. I would definitely recommend Matthew.

Matthew gave my son just 3 one to one Chess coaching sessions in the run up to the National Primary School Chess Championships. He even set homework and looked at my son’s games online between sessions. Matthew picked up on how to strengthen the game very quickly and taught some very effective moves. My son went on to do extremely well and moved up a board and beat Haberdashers school for the first time, his nemesis. He said that Matthew had given him confidence and had understood how to improve his game. Matthew’s Chess coaching is second to none.

My son fell out of love with Italian at the start of Year 11, halfway through his GCSE course and asked me for some help. I found Matthew online in the January of 2024 and my son started 2 sessions a week. These were online and through these sessions my son found his passion for the language. He was predicted a 5 but gained a high 7 mark in his final exams this summer. Thank you Matthew ! My son couldn’t have done it without you and wants to continue his Italian studies in 6th form if possible.

Matthew tutored my son French for his IGCSE. Matthew is thorough, very organised and clear in his teaching. He was a great support for my son who gained an A*. I would highly recommend him.

Matthew has been an excellent support in teaching Maths to my daughter, who is in Y2. His structured and logical approach to teaching has been instrumental in helping her build a strong foundation in Maths.

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.

Matthew is a polite, kind hearted and very patient teacher. He is helping my daughter with her GCSE Maths. She is feeling more confident and is grasping the topics Matthew is teaching. He is teaching the theory behind the topics which is very important for the learning curve.

Matthew’s lessons are enjoyable. He is very patient and I’ve made good progress. I will miss our sessions together. Merci beaucoup, Matthew!

Matthew is a terrific teacher. He is knowledgeable empathetic and wants what’s best for his students. Our daughter gained both confidence and a substantial improvement in her grades under his tutelage and we are very grateful for his commitment and counsel. I couldn’t recommend him more highly and would encourage anyone looking for help in GCSE Maths to contact him.

Matthew gave me many chess lessons which were really enjoyable. They helped me improve massively.

Matthew tutored me Italian and had great knowledge of the language, especially the grammar. Before Matthew I only used duolingo and my Italian definitely got better once I had some tutoring sessions. He makes things easy to understand, especially the grammar and so I would recommend Matthew as an Italian tutor.

Matthew is a good Chess tutor and great with kids. My daughter won the school Chess tournament too. He is flexible in arranging lessons which is a bonus given the heavy term time school curriculum.

Matthew is an incredibly knowledgable and patient teacher. I’ve taken lessons for coming up to a year and have greatly expanded my knowledge of the Italian language. The lessons are not only informative but enjoyable. It also has been a refresher on basic English grammar which was an unexpected benefit! Haha. I would recommend his teaching to anyone who wants to really build a strong foundation of the Italian language! Thanks Matthew for all your help.

Mathew is very dedicated and works wonderfully with children. He has been teaching Srot for more than 6 months now and I am very pleased with how Srot is making progress.

This is to confirm that Matthew tutored my son in Spanish from February to the end of May 2012, focusing on grammar. Matthew was clear in his objectives and always reliable and punctual. My son achieved an A* in GCSE Spanish and Matthew’s help in preparing for the exam has been much appreciated.

Liam had a predicted grade B for his GCSE Maths, so we enlisted Matthew’s help as a Maths Tutor at Easter and Matthew tutored Liam up to his Maths exams. Liam has achieved a grade A through the help of Matthew’s tuition, encouragement and homework that he gave Liam. Liam is delighted that he achieved this grade as he did not anticipate to achieve above his predicted grade but the extra tuition with Matthew did help Liam achieve his grade A.

My son started to struggle with Spanish over lockdown and I believe Matthew’s tutoring helped him get back on track and he managed to achieve his predicted GCSE grade 6 result. Languages are all about commutation and conversation and Matthew created a great rapport with my son and our family making tutoring an enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend Matthew.

We were very happy with the GCSE Spanish and Maths Tutoring we had for our daughter, Alisha. She got A’s in both subjects, and the help she received from Matthew was invaluable. I have no hesitation in recommending Matthew for tutoring.

Matthew is a great tutor. While I was doing my International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), I was really struggling to meet the high requirements from our Maths teachers. I especially had large gaps in Algebra, which Matthew helped me fill in. Once that was fixed, I went from strength to strength. Matthew helped me advance from a predicted grade of 3 to an actual grade of 6 in Maths (7 is the highest), in just 5 months. I have got into Bath University. Overall, I am very thankful to Matthew for all the time and effort he put into tutoring me.

Matthew is a fantastic teacher and a true chess expert who I would highly recommend to anyone either looking to learn for the first time or brush up on their skills. Matthew is very invested in the progress and development of his students and is very committed to ensuring you understand the rules of the game and that you continue to improve under his tutorship. He was always punctual, patient and respectful during my time working with him.

We are very pleased with Matthew Brown’s Private French Tutoring with our daughter Celina. She got a final A* A-level and an A at AS level and has secured a place at London University’s ULIP in Paris to study French at degree level .

My son thoroughly enjoys his Spanish tuition sessions with Matthew and even more so that the session ends with a chess session. Matthew takes his time and explains things very well to my 6 year old. Thank you!

We were very happy with the GCSE Spanish and Maths Tutoring we had for our daughter, Alisha. She got A’s in both subjects, and the help she received from Matthew was invaluable. I have no hesitation in recommending Matthew for tutoring.

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.

My daughter has been learning Chess with Matthew. She has improved a lot. I strongly recommend him.

Matthew is a very professional and knowledgeable tutor. He provides a personalised approach to tutoring. Based on the student’s calibre he personalises his tutoring approach. Although my daughter was already doing well in Maths he provided her enough challenges to make the subject interesting and also expand her knowledge. He not only prepares the student from an examination viewpoint, he also ensures that the student understands the concept setting a solid foundation for higher learning and my daughter went on to achieve a Grade 9 (9 being the highest) in her new Maths GCSE. On a personal side, I find Matthew to be pleasant, approachable, flexible and dependable. He is always punctual and he lets you know in case he is running late.

Matthew has tutored my son for the last four years and in those years has instilled in him a solid understanding of Mathematical techniques, taking him from a child struggling with the subject to finally achieving A* in his IGCSE maths. Matthew’s approach to teaching is both conscientious and systematic. He is a dedicated tutor and the results of his dedication speak for themselves. Thank you Matthew for all your help.

Mr. Brown was an excellent tutor right from the start. I needed a tutor because I started Spanish in Year 9 which was unfortunate as all my classmates had started in Year 7. In addition to being 2 years behind them, I wasn’t learning any other languages like French which could have helped me with my Spanish. I’d also like to point out I received an A* in my Spanish GCSE, a feat which I initially thought was impossible. Mr. Brown helped me once a week and very quickly helped me grasp the basic grammar rules and within no time I was paralleling what my classmates were being taught. Study sessions with Mr. Brown included a fine balance between school related work and additional material taught by Mr. Brown himself. What proved especially useful and what I consider to be the reason why I received an A* is his dedication regarding helping me understand the concepts and especially his perspective on certain areas of the language whether it be learning to speak fluently or otherwise. I would definitely recommend Mr. Brown to any students aspiring to get an A*.

Just want to thank you for the help and support you provided to our 8 year old in her study of chess. We found you to have a very good understanding of the subject matter. The techniques you taught her such as writing down her moves and being focused have been extremely helpful and we have seen a vast improvement in her understanding of the game.

Growing up with a Spanish speaking mother, James decided that although he didn’t have lessons at school, he wanted to do an extra GCSE in Spanish. At the start of year 10, he didn’t really speak with any confidence and his vocabulary and grip of the grammar were a long way behind what was needed to pass GCSE. Matthew systematically brought him up to speed in these areas and he was very happy to be awarded an 8 in his GCSE last month.

Mathew is an excellent tutor, extremely knowledgeable and will get you to a higher than average understanding of any topic. Before Year 11, I was predicted a grade 4 for Spanish and after a couple months I got a grade 6. He’ll push you to do better than most of your peers so you really stand out.

Matthew is a diligent tutor who cares about his students’ learning. We took him on to stretch my two childrens’ Maths. He explains concepts well and has a way to discipline their thinking to follow methods. He is always on time and is flexible too, always ensuring consistency can be maintained. Thank you for your teaching Matthew.

Matthew helped me raise my standard from a B level in class to an A* in the GCSE Maths exam. He gave me a lot of opportunities to practise the application of Mathematical concepts that I didn’t understand. He made me understand all the things I was confused about. I also went on to achieve an A grade at AS Level, also with the help of Matthew’s tutoring.

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.

I had chess lessons from Matt over a number of weeks. I’m an adult Club-level player. Matt’s lessons were great, especially his lessons on opening preparation and the queen’s gambit for white. I have undoubtedly benefited from his coaching and I’m sure others who wish to improve will also. Highly recommended. Ben.

I write to confirm that Matthew tutored my daughter in GCSE French. She achieved a grade A*. He was thorough in his preparation. His subject knowledge was good and he was always very reliable in terms of attendance and punctuality.

My son took his Spanish GCSE earlier than the norm (Year 9) and only had a year to do it rather than within 2 years. He had only sat the Speaking mock exam, still had the reading and writing mock exam to go. At the time of his speaking mocks he was predicted a 5 (C). As parents we wanted to help boost my son’s Spanish learning, so we reached out to Matt for extra Spanish tuition. We only used Matt for 3 weeks and with his help and my son’s commitment my son managed to achieve a 7 (A) in his final Spanish GCSE result. Thank you Matt for the boost and your help.

I was searching for a Spanish tutor for my daughter who was predicted an E grade at GCSE and found Matthew’s details on a website. From the very beginning Matthew was professional and helpful and willing to go the extra mile (which was very helpful as my daughter was not keen on the subject at all but needed an improved grade). With Matthew’s help, my daughter gained a B grade which is more than we had hoped for! Matthew is an excellent tutor and I would highly recommend him!
