Martin has been tutoring my son in Yr 11 and Yr12 chemistry for over 12 months now and over the period my son's grades have improved. He has also shown interest in teh subject matter. Martin is patient and plans the session. He is also able to adapt and adjust when required in the interest of his students.

Martin is a thorough and great tutor. He is well organised and uses that to his advantage to provide detailed sessions with can cover many topics. His tutoring sessions are fun, interesting and helpful, and really helped my marks in chemistry this year. He has never failed to have an adept understanding of any topic, and is able to reflect this ability through questions and information, which are massive benefits, in the sessions.
