My daughter has had several private maths' tutors, as she has struggled with this subject all the way through school. She did not pass her GCSE resit, and although she had only a few sessions with Alex, she feels she benefited the most from his tuition - his encouragement, his explanation of the topics but, overall, his empathy with a student who just really didn't get maths was invaluable. We just wish that we had found Alex sooner!
