Oli

''Oli has worked with my son for several years, initially to prepare him in maths for the ISEB and the entrance exams to various boarding schools. Oli has been a reassuring and invaluable help throughout this time. My son is not a natural mathematician and Oli found a way to help build his confidence. The common entrance preparations were strengthened by Oli’s patience and infallible belief that my son could do it. I am grateful to Oli for his patience, his kindness and his professionalism. He was a source of support not just to my son but also myself. My son did well at Common Entrance, particularly in the harder paper to Oli’s credit for pushing him in a kind but firm manner. Oli is an exceptional tutor and it has been, and remains, a pleasure to work with him.''

“Thank you for everything that you helped me with at university over the past few months. You have been incredible. I’ve particularly appreciated your sensitivity towards me, working so hard to understand where I’ve been struggling. I feel very encouraged and empowered to think more clearly moving forward beyond university.''

“Oli is a terrific teacher and offers guidance and assistance at just the right time. He is experienced, thoughtful and patient; always providing the right support to help my children learn and excel. My children find him kind and understanding. He pays careful attention to details and is always encouraging. I will certainly have my children continue their studies with Oli in the coming years.”

“He got in to Eton! We are so shocked. And super happy. Thanks sooooo much for all your help again. He wouldn’t have been able to do it without your help.”

“Oli completely transformed my daughter's approach to learning. She approached her work and her GCSE exams with greater confidence and enjoyment. Oli was both passionate and inspiring when it came to teaching English and knowledgeable and skilled at guiding her to find effective ways to learn and revise. She looked forward to each lesson with eagerness and excitement which says it all really.”

“A massive thank you for all the help you gave me with my Cambridge English. I can't thank you enough for work you put in; I really owe you!”

“Oli is so much more than a teacher of English and he really does go the extra mile. I achieved a 45/45 in the IB program and was the world’s highest scorer in English literature’s drama paper, with a 25/25. I learned some brilliant revision strategies with him too. Oli is dependable and brilliant. There are no safer hands. Oli really made love English and for this I am forever in his debt. Thank you, Oli, so much for pushing me and truly unlocking the joy of studying.”

''Hi Oli, just wanted to say that I've been offered a place at Peterhouse, Cambridge! Thank you for all your help and support, you have been wonderful.''

“He did himself proud at the Harrow Test. He said he couldn't have done it without you. We just wanted to say the biggest thank you to you for all your help. You have given him confidence and a spring in his step! You have been so excellent, thank you.”

“My son loves Oli’s lessons. Oli is an amazing tutor; kind, caring, discerning with an impeccable work ethic. Oli goes the extra mile to understand his students, customising lessons to keep students’ engaged and to optimise learning. We are grateful to Oli for believing in our son and helping him to reach his highest potential. Thank you for providing him with a safe and encouraging environment where his talents and passions are cherished and nurtured.”

“Oli has been an invaluable support to my son, helping him settle into his academic studies and working tirelessly to build his confidence. Oli has been instrumental in helping him with effective study strategies giving him the tools to plan and produce essays and revise for end of module exams. Oli relates so well to my son and and has offered patient and caring moral support as well as outstanding academic teaching. Oli is always on hand to help and is totally committed to my son's academic progress and wellbeing. We are delighted with the service which he has provided, not only my son but us, as parents.”

“Sessions with Oli are always fun, and after each one I feel that my knowledge has grown. I have truly learned to think in his classes. He is very comprehensive in his approach, with each tutorial not only being engaging, but incredibly well planned as well. English with Oli is great!”

“Your commitment to teaching is very clearly evident, your passion shines through. My daughter was literally so happy and buzzing in sessions! You brought English up to an A in Lit an 8 in Language. These are incredible results, owing in large part to your work. We are so very pleased and grateful. Thank you!”

“We are very glad that we found Oli, he has been an excellent tutor for 11+ entrance exam, he was really helpful, full of support and had an extensive knowledge, he explains things very clearly and his sessions are enjoyable. With more application and help my daughter has greatly improved her grades and as a result she received the offer of Wycombe Abbey School, we are very pleased. We would not hesitate to recommend him.”

“Oli was a wonderful tutor throughout and helped me enormously in completing the application, submitting essays and preparing for the interview. Most importantly, he showed great kindness and sincerity in applying himself to the task of my application, often going out of his way when I needed assistance.''

''I have got offers from all 5 unis! Manchester, Nottingham, Loughborough, Bristol and Leeds! Thanks so much for your help it made a massive difference! Gradually going through my personal statement with you from start to end was extremely helpful. You helped me think for myself and what I could improve. You made me more confident in my thoughts and prevented me from “waffling”. It was overall super helpful and I’m so happy!''

“With Oli’s help the twins got 3 A*s and a B at English Lit and Lang GCSE! The twins thought he was ''amazing!'' High praise from teenagers indeed!”

“Oli is an excellent tutor. He was always very kind and made the learning fun. There were times when I found a topic difficult, but he always found a way to explain it to me. I would definitely recommend him. I’ve enjoyed my sessions with him and will certainly miss him a lot!”

“We are extremely happy with Oli. We like the fact that he takes time to brief us on my son’s performance after each lesson. Oli takes time to understand my son’s personality, customising the lessons to get the best out him. Oli is firm but still promotes positivity and encourages him to want to learn. We have nothing but praise for Oli. You sent us the perfect tutor!”

“You’ve been the best teacher I have ever had! I got an A in both IGCSEs (not bad for set 5!)”
