WHAT PEOPLE SAY
E Thomas
Mr Porter has been tutoring our daughter (currently in year 7) for almost a year now and we couldn't be happier with him. The school have noticed a huge difference in progress and Mr Porter has been a massive help in helping with homework and catching up after the remote learning disruption. Highly recommended!
P Carder
We've used Nigel for both of our boys through KS1 & KS2 stage. We started with him in 2020! I am particularly impressed with his patient and gentle approach and he also uses a wide range of resources and materials. It is clear he knows the up-to-date curriculum for each year. My eldest passed his Yr 6 SATS with flying colours despite getting behind through the pandemic. My youngest struggles more academically but still Nigel is helping him gain confidence and knowledge. I have recommended him already to friends (for girls and boys) and will continue to do so.
S Cleasby
My daughter has been having tutoring sessions with Nigel for a while now and from the start she felt at ease and happy to ask questions.
The weekly lessons are looked forward to and afterwards she is always motivated, even with her maths, which is her weaker area.
Nigel is always so friendly, calm and approachable. Thank you.
