TESTIMONIALS

---

 “Wilf entered his maths tuition with Ricky with low self-esteem and little self-belief. Ricky has done a fantastic job in building his confidence and improving his grades. Our son will miss his regular sessions with Ricky.” Fiona, parent of IGCSE student 

“Ricky has been a wonderful tutor for my daughter. He helped her prepare for her 11+ exams a few years ago and has just helped her get through her GCSEs. She scored an 8 which was such an amazing achievement for her! Ricky has always been so patient and my daughter said that he really helped her understand tricky concepts. I would highly recommend Ricky to anyone who needs a fabulous maths teacher."

 Aarti, parent of 11+ and GCSE student

“We had a few sessions with Ricky with the aim of improving my son's confidence prior to senior school entrance exams. My son responded really well to him as a tutor and Ricky identified and successfully plugged a few gaps. Consequently my son was offered a place at Brighton College and a Headmaster's award at another independent school, so we are all thrilled. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him!"

Madeline, parent of 11+ student

“We have known Ricky for ten years and he has tutored all of our 3 children at various times! He is just so approachable, patient, kind and reliable. A very experienced maths teacher and our children always felt at ease during his lessons. He gave them so much confidence which helped to enhance their grades.”

Beng, parent of 11+ and GCSE students

“Ricky is a brilliant maths teacher who helped me all the way through my IGCSEs. All made better by the fact that he is such a lovely guy. Highly recommended.”

Wilf, IGCSE student

"Thomas has gone from strength to strength in his maths. Ricky has kept things fun and engaging and turned Thomas from really not enjoying maths to being inspired. Thank you Ricky for helping us so much! Amazingly, Thomas has never resisted his weekly session."

Angela, parent of Year 6 student 

“Ricky tutored my two sons for Maths GCSE over 4 years and he was amazing. With his extensive experience, encouragement and patience, both boys loved their sessions with Ricky and saw an improvement in their final grades.”

Heather, parent of GCSE students

"Ricky tutored my 3 children over a period of 4 years. He was always friendly, helpful, encouraging and he explained specific areas in more detail when needed while also suggesting alternate methods for problem-solving. 

His input and help has been invaluable, especially with my second son who has dyscalculia and always found maths tricky.- Ricky helped him discover a love for the subject and overcome his fear.

I cannot speak highly enough of the support Ricky gave my children and  I would highly recommend him as a tutor."

Alexia, parent of GCSE students 

“Ricky taught both my son and daughter in Maths and we highly recommend him. He teaches in a caring, personalised, and patient manner. Neither of them like Maths very much but his personable manner certainly enhanced the whole process for them and helped them grow in a subject they were less positive about previously. It really helped their confidence in and even their enjoyment of the topics. He is professional, reliable and most importantly I feel he really cares about each student as an individual and it means a lot to him that they do well. Thank you.”

Sara, parent of GCSE students

“I have known Ricky for 6 years or so as he has worked with both of my children for long stretches at a time and for different reasons.

He has a kindly manner and is very patient with both, whether that is because one struggles to understand or the other is easily distracted. He unpicks what it is about a maths question or concept that the child is struggling with, explaining things in such a way that brings understanding.

Ricky has given both children strategies for tackling questions in exam situations and has also been very happy to tailor his sessions to exactly my children’s needs going through past papers and identifying where further support is needed. I cannot recommend Ricky highly enough!”

Anna, parent of 11+ and GCSE student

“Ricky was a fantastic tutor for my daughters throughout secondary school, and whilst studying GCSE Maths.

He was reliable, patient and thorough, and really helped them to make good progress. He taught/went over areas of the syllabus and provided practice with exam questions. 

I asked my daughter how she would describe Ricky as a tutor, she said "he is passionate about what he teaches, and his enthusiasm motivated me."   

Ricky can adapt his lessons to the child. He can support those who struggle with maths or  a child who is capable of achieving top grades. 

We highly recommend Ricky."

 Lynn, parent of KS3 and GCSE students

“Ricky taught me in Year 6 at a point where I was really struggling in maths. He spent extra time going out of his way to help me catch up and learn the basics. This helped me to improve my skills and taught me not to give up but instead to keep trying. I adopted this approach right through to my GCSEs where I achieved an A in maths.”

Jack, former Year 6 student

“Ricky has tutored four of my children in maths and they have all passed their GCSEs as a result of it. He knew how to keep them engaged and helped them to understand the trickier concepts. I would highly recommend him."

Heike, parent of 11+ and GCSE students
