From Janet (/5): Adam is a great tutor whose guidance and resourcefulness has helped my daughter improve on her knowledge and exam technique. He is a credit to the education system in Norfolk county and the country as a whole.
Reply from: Adam:Delighted you found things useful. Thank you!
From Tracey (/5): Adam is a fantastic Tutor! We are so glad we found him.
So friendly and professional and also a great mentor to our son.
When things got tough (A levels are tough!) Adam seemed to have a knack of reassuring our son, finding a solution and quickly getting him back on track.
Adam is a brilliant communicator and always kept both myself and our son well informed of lessons etc going above and beyond to give any extra information needed.
Even though we never met we feel we got to know Adam well. We will miss him.
Thank you Adam

From Patricia (/5): Adam has been brilliant and taken the mystery of how to do the Geography A Level exam away, as well as filling in the missing parts of the curriculum (which there are many!) due to covid. My daughter is very pleased with Adam. I would highly recommend his services.
From Theresa (/5): Thank you Adam. The prompt response and provision of an early catch up call, followed by flexible timing for the first tutoring session has been a great start to the tutoring journey
From Rachel (/5): Adam is an excellent tutor who is knowledgeable, personable, and good at communicating.
He has greatly helped my son with his A level studies providing 1-1 support on complex subjects.
My son always looks forward to his online sessions and I am happy to recommend Adam unreservedly.

From Henry (/5): Adam was a brilliant tutor for the sessions which I had with him. He was excellent at helping me with exactly what I needed. I was a student retaking Geography (CIE) A-level and not in school at the time and he was able to find time for me as well as his other tutees. I would highly recommend Adam to anyone struggling with a certain subject or especially to broaden your outlook on a course and how improve your knowledge as well as competence.
From Sonia (/5): I highly recommed Adam who fitted in my daughter for revision for her A levels , Adam is quite generous with his knowledge as well as his time . He is pleasant and flexible and the one thing we regret is not starting tutoring with Adam earlier on in the year and while my daughter was struggling at school in the subject .
From Virginia (/5): Adam has been providing tuition for my son who is to sit Computer Studies GCSE this summer. He is reliable, professional and importantly has proved to be very flexible accommodating changes to our schedule. My son has a much more positive approach to the subject now and I am certain this is in no small part down to the extra support he is receiving from Adam. I would recommend wholeheartedly as a private tutor.
From Corinne (/5): Adam has been helping our son Angus for 3 weeks now and the effect has been extremely positive.
Adam has boosted Gus' self esteem and confidence as well as supporting him academically.
He is responsive, communicative, knowledgable and helpful , all the attributes a great tutor needs.

From Jane (/5): Really helped put my son at ease and he found it really helpful.
From Iskren (/5): Adam is a first class tutor- very competent, engaging, accommodating and caring. I can see the progress with my son just after few lessons. Could not hoped for better tuition and results.

From Karen (/5): Adam is easy to contact and flexible and my daughter aged 18ys has found Adam a huge help with A levels . Highly recommended.
From Jennifer (/5): Before we could meet Adam and start my daughters tuitions we received an email demanding payment 24 hours beforehand. I felt this was un excitable none of my other tutors require this method. This left me now having to look for another IT tutor Witch I have now found I find his work ethics not very wise as he should be concentrating on meeting us and doing his job before requesting for payment just like my other tutors. Sadly a bad experience.
Reply from: Adam:After agreeing, several weeks in advance, to tutor your daughter on a Tuesday afternoon, I emailed you to confirm the first session. At this point I also requested payment in advance (as recommended by First Tutors IT for online sessions). I do request 24 hours in advance whereas First Tutors IT recommend 15 minutes in advance, but the principle is the same.
You were offended by the request for advance payment, saying you preferred to pay after the lesson and I did say that this was not how I manage my tuition payment.
You also said that you were unable to do a Tuesday now as you had arranged other tuition and had other commitments at this time. I emailed you a copy of our conversation from First Tutors IT where it clearly showed that we had agreed to have a session on Tuesday. I explained that I have tutees every other day, I had kept the agree day and time free since we originally confirmed this. I also offered you an alternative session on a Monday as well as a weekend if that was easier for you. You said you were unable to do any other time than a Wednesday which is the reason you had to find another tutor rather than the reason you stated which was my terms of payment. You say "Sadly a bad experience". Not so. From my point of view I kept a slot available for you which I could (and now have) filled with another tutee.
I have over 50 happy tutees since I have been using First Tutors and First Tutors IT and I have never had anything less than wholly positive feedback from any of them. Had you kept the Tuesday time free there would not have been a problem.
REASON FOR CANCELLATION: Client unable to attend originally agreed time and day.

From James (/5): I have had tutoring from Adam for A-level Computer Science for around a month now. He has been great in providing me the structure and resources to study for my exams effectively, and has brilliant subject knowledge to accompany it. Highly recommend.
From Joanna (/5): Adam is a very good tutor. He clearly knows his subject and how to get the very best out of his students. He is reliable and flexible. Online works really well.
From Nicola (/5): Adam is an excellent tutor for our son who is sitting A-level Geography this summer. He has developed a great rapport with him and Adam couldn't be more supportive and knowledgable in covering both the curriculum and exam questions/responses/mark scheme. Adam is also happy to give feedback and flexible with dates/times. He is very professional and I would recommend him without reservation.
From Jenny (/5): Adam has provided on line tutoring for AS Computer Science. This has been invaluable and although I was unsure about the on line tutoring it has worked really well. It has improved my son's skills focussing specifically on his needs. Adam has been flexible and communicated well, he fitted my son in despite being very busy with other tutees.
From Adam (/5): Adam was recommended by a friend of my Son's and he has been great in helping him consolidate and work on exam technique for A Level retakes. They have developed a good rapport. Highly recommend. Thanks Adam.
From Andrew (/5): Adam has been great. He has brought our son up to speed very quickly and has created a good working relationship.
From Kay (/5): Adam is excellent. The support he has given my son has been amazing. My son is now much more confident with his exam technique.
From Sara (/5): My son is really benefiting from lessons with Adam. He is an experienced examiner who knows what will be in the exams, and takes my son through the marks schemes to help him to get top marks.
From Jack (/5): Adam has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. He is a great person who makes the lessons interesting and enjoyable. He is certainly giving my son the confidence he needs to do well!

From Sarah (/5): Adam was extremely prompt in replying to my query re tuition and very flexible and co-operative in trying to establish a mutually acceptable time and place for the tuition session.
Although my son has only had a couple of sessions with Adam as yet, he has found his input very helpful.
Adam always follows up the session via e-mail and is willing to answer questions and give back up inbetween sessions aswell.
I've been very impressed with the help Adam has given to my son.

From River (/5):
From Lisa (/5): Very good first session, highly recommended by a hard to please 16 year old doing a DIDA in ICT. Wish we had contacted Adam earlier! Lots of pointers in what to do to achieve good marks and he also gave comprehensive notes to do work on own outside of lesson.
