HI Michael 16.11.2023

 

Firstly, apologies I’ve had one of those weeks! 

 

In terms of feedback, B. is always keen to do the lessons with you and when I ask about continuing he is always very positive.  His attitude towards the subject appears to be more confident and from what we can tell (!) he is working hard in his school work.  He improved his grade in the summer so it definitely is having an impact.  He is even more determined having done his uni visits and has chosen where he wants to go and knows he has to get the grades to get there. 


Hope that helps?  Thanks for all your help so far.

 

Kind regards


C. M.


Hi Michael, 14.11.2023


thanks for your email. 

F. is finding your tuition very helpful and useful. He is feeling much more confident and less anxious within the subject. He was happy with his most recent test score. He feels happy now he has a secure spot in the top set. Just to say I have just sent the answers he has done to Paper 1 : 2005. No. 11 is at the bottom of no.10.

Feedback from Daryl, June 2023

Dear Michael,

Nell was very happy with today's lesson and found it very helpful. She appears to have benefitted from all of the work you have done together. We are extremely grateful. We hope this pays off in her results.

Feedback From Ruth: Aug. 2022

Dear Michael

Just would like you to know that Mark has passed his physics A level with a Grade C.
He is very pleased with this and we are all extremely relieved. Thank you once again for all your support and patience without which Mark would not have made it. 
He received a Grade B in maths and a grade B in  graphic design. And received a Grade A in his EPQ.
He had been accepted in his first choice University and will attend Royal Holloway University to study video games art and design. 

Thank you so much 
Have a lovely Summer
Ruth and Mark

Michael has taught my son, Mark, in A level physics over the last 20 months.

 Michael is an excellent tutor and I would highly recommend him without hesitation. 

Michael is engaged, patient, makes sure the student understands the material by setting relevant homework and will clarify any doubts. Communication is excellent and he will go above and beyond to ensure the student remains on track and engaged. Thank you so much.

Thanks Ruth for the excellent feedback.. 

Much appreciate

Michael

Thank you for all your support in preparing Kirsten for her Maths GCSE.

Kirsten really benefitted from your tutoring help. She has grown in confidence and will have a go at Maths problems that previously had her totally stalled. She has really gained in confidence through your patience and understanding.

Hi Alex here. The exam went well and without you I would have easily failed. Thank you for having me for the past 2 months, you really helped me out in Maths and Science.

 
RE: ONLINE  Physics Tuition

Michael has been tutoring my twin, Year 10 girls in physics this year online. He is very personable so it doesn't feel awkward or distant for them to communicate in this way, and he is set up so that they can see his work space so he can write things out or demonstrate things for them. Both are predicted to get 9s next year for their GSCE. The girls say that now that they work with Michael they in fact understand what they're "learning" and so they are no longer just memorizing facts. I think this gives them real potential to move forward in physics. Thank you Michael for helping the girls take physics further!

Hi Michael: RE: ONLINE Maths and Physics Tuition

July 2019:

I’m attaching a copy of Mxxxxx’s end of year exam results so you can see that once again your efforts with him this year have paid off!

His maths and science results are “excellent” as you will see in the attached photo. More importantly they’ve moved his target grade in maths (for GCSE) from TEG 6 to a TEG 7.

TEG 7 as you may know is equivalent to a “A” vs a “B” grade for the TEG 6.

Exxxx and I would like to thank you for another year of your time to teach Mxxxxx. 

He enjoys the learning time with you and your engagement with him. 

Have a great summer and we look forward to starting again in September.

Zxxx.


Hi Michael RE: ONLINE Maths and Physics Tuition

13/6/2019

We just wanted to thank you for everything you’ve done for Ben. He was a little cautious at the start, perhaps a bit shy to be online/on screen, but he took to it and enjoyed it. He never once complained about having a lesson and we never needed to remind him of his lesson times.

He’ll miss lessons with you, I think you formed a good friendship.

His last exam is tomorrow, then the long wait until results on the 22 August. He’s putting in a couple of hours of revision today (he tells me!) and then I just hope he uses all of his time tomorrow rather than crashing through and ‘getting it done’ which tends to be his way.

He’s a smart lad with loads of potential, so we’re very grateful for all your help getting him up to speed and focused.

All the best

David

 RE: ONLINE Maths and Physics Tuition

Thank you very much for your greeting!

I'm very grateful for your support and help to him during last terms.

I noticed that Bow has made great progress and is more confident under your help. 

Yes, we'll tell you about his results when we receive them. 

Bow is very interested in Physics and he already choose the A level physics.  We are very happy you can continue to support him  when he needs help in Year 12. I'll contact you when we're back from our holiday in the next new term.

Keeping in touch.

Kind regards

Dear Michael (25.8.2011)
Just to let you know that Sarah is celebrating some great GCSE results, including an A for Maths.  (4 A* and 6 A grades overall).
We wanted to let you know, and to say a huge thank you for the help in achieving the Maths grade - we couldn't have done it without you!
Onwards now to English Literature, Philosophy, History of Art and Photography AS levels - probably rather different areas of interest than your own expertise - it's great that we are all so different!
Thanks again,
K.
Hi Michael (18.9.2011)
Stop press!! Sarah's maths GCSE has been remarked, and is now officially graded A* rather than A !!  Thought you'd like to know.  The school advised we sent it in for review, and they were obviously right to suggest we did so.
Regards,
Kay

Hi Michael, (25.8.2011)

Hi Michael, (26.8.2011)
 
I hope that you are well. 
 
Chloe got a " C" in her GCSE maths exam. We are very proud of her and would also like to thank you for the time that you gave to Chloe which has enabled her to achieve this . She is so pleased that she will not have to re-sit maths at college!!!! She never wants to worry about fractions and decimals again!!!!
 
The rest of her exams also went very well with two As, four Bs, three Cs and one D.
 
Thank you once again,
 
D. and Chloe

Michael (28.8.2011)
I am happy to tell you that my overall results are:
Maths: A
Economics: A
Philosophy and Ethics: A

and (for AS)   Physics: B

I am writing to thank you for our lessons together, as you acted as a key to a door in my thinking.

The way graphs and formulas worked together is an example that springs to my mind.

This subtle shift in my thinking let me to realise that maths is logical and if I don’t understand a question it is not because it is impossible but that I just don’t get it yet.

This way of thinking helped me to boost all my grades I believe and is more than partially thanks to you.

So Thank you,

J.


Hello Michael, (27.8.2011)

I hope you are having a good summer ( what's left of it ). 
We arrived back from Spain this week and have received now GCSE results. Just thought you might want to know that Nicolas achieved a B in Maths. We are very happy with it. Many, many thanks for all your help last winter.
I might see you around in the High Street some time.
Take care,
A.


 Hello Michael, (1.9.2011)

Its Ka..How are you? Hope you are well, I got my GCSE Results earlier and thought I would let you know how I did.

I got 5 B's and 6 C's so I have enrolled for ******** college in *******  and will be starting next Thursday, doing Law, American History, English Literature and Citizenship as my A - Levels.
I got a C in Science, which is good as I struggled in that subject, and a C in Maths. And the B's were for Drama, History, English Lit, Religious Education,  Information Technology. So I was very happy as my attendance was very low. When I left it was around 55% which was definitely not good at all due to problems so M**** was very happy when the results came through. 
 
Just want to say a huge THANK YOU for pulling me through science & maths. You were a massive help and without your lessons I doubt I would have passed. So thank you for getting me into college :) :)
Hope your well * *
