All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the students of Mark.
Perfect! Mark is an excellent tutor always reliable and always on time. Extremely knowledgeable with the GCSE curriculum always comes to lessons with prepared materials. Highly recommend. Thank you Mark
- Mark's response :Ellie was tired in the last lesson but stuck at the tasks. She is developing an understanding of different type of sentence. Angelo recapped on a couple of the poems and the character of Macbeth. He needs to constantly review the work we do in lessons as it is hard for him to retain information. He may benefit from watching revision videos for Macbeth.
Perfect! My daughter has improved so much since she began with Mark.I would recommend his tuition to anyone.
- Mark's response :L has very strong ideas but needs to work on making them coherent in her essays.
Perfect! A passionate, caring and very knowledgeable tutor
Mark was appointed when my daughter was working at a B/C level. Mark is a very calm, patient tutor, who always stress tested my daughter's learning. Mark did not treat the tuition as ad-hoc lessons, but rather as a programme of learning which helped my daughter to achieve an A grade in her A-level today. I would not hesitate to recommend Mark.
Subject : English Literature
Outcome : A grade- Mark's response :I was a lovely student to work with. I am so glad she achieved her goals at A Level.
Perfect! Subject : English
- Mark's response :T is working really hard to understand the complexity of text analysis. His comparison of texts has really improved and we are currently developing his understanding of and response to the poems from the anthology.

Subject : English
Outcome : My son is still preparing for his GCSE.Perfect! Thank you so much!
Mark is a brilliant tutor for my y10 son. He explains everything clearly and makes everything accessible.
My son is very maths/science focused and dyslexic.
Mark is able to engage his interest and also deals well with what I imagine is a fairly reluctant student of English literature.
Subject : English
Outcome : .- Mark's response :Robert is a pleasure to work with. He engages really well in lessons and has plenty of good insight into the set texts. We are currently working on Othello, and his main area for development is to analyse with more relevant detail in his written responses.
Perfect! Excellent English Tutor - highly recommended
I wish I'd found Mark sooner, he is an excellent English teacher, better than my son's tutors at school. I think you get what you pay for with a tutor and Mark is definitely worth the money. He is very easy to get on with, patient and engaging. My son has really improved and he prefers his lessons with Mark to those he has in class. His teachers at school have noticed the improvement too. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Mark to anyone. A thoroughly skilled tutor and really nice person.

Outcome : Improved understanding and ability in English Literature which will transfer through to grades.Perfect! patient, helpful

Subject : English LiteraturePerfect! English Literature (GCSE)
Mark is undoubtedly one of the best teacher my son has ever had! Patient, understanding and relatable, he never failed to leave my son understanding any topic fully and comprehensively. His passion and understanding of English litrature is unrivalled and every lesson with him just inspires my 16 year old more & more to get to the next level. Thank you Mark for all the hard work and for being caring!
Subject : Maths
Outcome : Unfortunately GCSE exams did not take place due to Corona. However, my son has improved his knowledge in English literature for his A Level.Perfect! Worked well with my two sons
Mark tutored both my sons at the same time as they were in their final year of A level and GCSE when one of their English teachers went AWOL.
Both boys liked Mark - my 16 year old (naturally a science boy rather than humanities) felt he explained things clearly and was supportive. My 18 year old son (humanities focused) thought he was insightful and engaged. Mark taught both boys at my home and then online during lockdown.
Subject : English
Outcome : Sadly they didn't sit their exams, but he did keep them on track which is great.View more reviews
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
Mark is a knowledgeable, experienced and supportive tutor. He has considerable experience of working with a range of learners and a number of English specifications. He can help ambitious learners and learners with educational needs achieve their goals.
Mark has tutored my daughter for over a year in GCSE English language and literature. In that time we have seen significant improvement in her writing and ability to analyse texts. Whilst she struggles with the subject, Mark has been patient and encouraging.
Mark is an excellent communicator in class. He knows how to open ideas up so that students can follow in detail, without being overwhelmed, but in such a way that their abilities are stretched. I have enjoyed seeing him teach students at Birkbeck College.
A very skilled and experienced tutor
