Reviews

My son, who is in the midst of completing his International Baccalaureate, initially found it challenging to navigate the Theory of Knowledge (TOK) and Extended Essay (EE) criteria. Despite having a wealth of ideas, he struggled to express them succinctly and in alignment with the IB standards. However, after several tutoring sessions, Harry gained a clearer understanding of the IB expectations and discovered how to harmonise his creative impulses with the academic demands. With Andrew's mentorship over recent months, Harry has become more directed and engaged in his studies, leading to a boost in both his self-assurance and academic performance. Andrew's commitment and effectiveness as a tutor come highly recommended.

My family selected Andrew to provide tutoring support for my 9 year old son in preparation for his Year 5 NAPLAN tests. My son is both an Aspergers and ADHD child, so he is extremely bright but can often get to the correct answer himself without following the traditional methods taught in schools. The downside however is that in tests or assessments that require a process to be followed he would not receive full marks for his tests due to it not confining to traditional learning methods. Andrew was able to identify this very early on during his assessments of Harvey, and was able to build a comprehensive tutoring plan that empowered his strengths whilst investing the relevant time on the areas he needed to improve or focus on with more attention before answering. The great news is that my son achieved very strong NAPLAN results and I have no doubt he went in as best prepared as he could be thanks to the support from Andrew. Andrew is now tutoring both of my sons as they have built a strong rapport with him and really enjoy his tutoring style. I can't recommend Andrew more highly for the support he has provided my family with our children's additional learning support.

I highly recommend Andrew for tutoring. He has effectively helped my son with assignment writing and his grades have certainly improved. Andrew is intelligent, always organised and punctual. He is very personable and a great communicator with both adults and teenagers.

We highly recommend Andrew. He is organised, purposeful, intelligent and personable, and has generated new positive behaviours for our son who loves working with him. Andrew continues to do amazing tutoring, gets things done, helps our son plan and organise, think critically and create, and which our son really could not do without!

Andrew has been tutoring my daughter in General Maths. He is very friendly, warm and knowledgeable of the subject matter and as a result of his tuition, my daughter's marks have improved significantly. I would highly recommend Andrew.
