Perfect! Exceeded expectations
A big thank you to Tom for not just the imparting of knowledge to my son but for also acting as the catalyst to rekindle his motivation to learn and succeed.
From a starting point of failing year end exams to gaining top grades at A levels and a top 10 university place, Toms influence went far beyond just getting the economics back on track.
A big thank you and a hearty recomendation to any other parent who is looking for something a bit beyond simple cramming. Tom is able to both convey all the key concepts and stimulate further thought and learning.
Very approachable and a great motivator.
Throughly recomended

Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
Tom gave my year 12 son some revision sessions ahead of his Economics AS exams. The sessions were really helpful and helped my son to focus on the areas he really needed to improve on. Tom also produced exam type questions for my son to work on in between sessions.
Tom Davies is giving some private tuition to my 14 year old daughter to help her with her GCSE maths course. She finds maths very hard and Tom has been able to give her a lot of clarity on topics that she previously couldn't grasp. Her recent maths grades have been much improved. She enjoys her lessons with Tom and he is always extremely reliable and punctual.
Tom is an outstanding tutor. Tom quickly assessed the unique capability gaps of our girls (ages 8, 11,12) and put in place a clear plan to build confidence, test their breadth and ensure that the foundations remained strong. We would highly recommend Tom and would welcome the opportunity to work with him again
