Excellent! David worked with our son for a short time and was willing to listen and adapt his teaching accordingly. Unfortunately our son has decided that remote learning is not the right approach for him at this time. We thank David for his efforts.

David has such a fantastic personality with a wealth of experience in teaching. He assessed our son and understood the best approach to teaching him.
Since David has begun working with our son, we have seen an improvement. He has been able to get him to sit for the duration of the session to complete his tasks. Our son also loves working with David and always looks forward to their sessions together.

David has taught four of my children who have dyslexia and one with dyspraxia and dyslexia.
My children have all enjoyed their Saturday morning classes, so much so, that two of them have stayed on to help other children with their learning.
With David’s help, my eldest son is a fully qualified electrician and my other son has just started work as an apprentice mechanic.
David has a different way of teaching the children in a way that they understand and makes sense to them.
He is a wonderful teacher and I would highly recommend him.

You started as my academic skills mentor in my very first vulnerable year and now regard your support as vital in my success in gaining my first degree and now obtaining a masters degree. I can only say how thankful grateful and pleased that I came to university at that time otherwise I would not have had your support. Thank you.

Thank you once again for your valuable support and guidance through my university life. I graduated with a 2:1 (very close to a first), however, without your help and support, even a 2:1 would never have been possible.
