DANIEL - A-LEVEL STUDENT

"Gerry's teaching was outstanding, he helped our son to improve his final Grade from a C to an A in just six months. He was always well prepared and tailored the sessions exactly to our son's needs. We would recommend Gerry without hesitation! "
ELIZABETH & RORY - PARENTS OF A-LEVEL STUDENT

"I studied French at A level with Gerry, and I definitely couldn't have achieved my B without him. His teaching style is immersive - he has so much experience with languages it's like you're talking and learning with a native speaker! In my time at sixth form he went above and beyond to ensure that I  got the most out of his lessons and achieved my best in examinations. A friendly and thorough tutor, and one of the most travelled and generous people I have ever met. Gerry is the perfect tutor if you want to understand a language."

"Gerry tutored me intensively for two weeks to improve my English. It was a great experience and Gerry and his wife are very kind and helpful. In two weeks, I have progressed much better than I'd hoped. Gerry is very patient and explains everything, so you understand and don't repeat your mistakes. I really improved my English and had a great time!"
MEROUANE - FRENCH MECHANICAL ENGINEERING STUDENT

"Gerry was extremely friendly and made every effort to help us learn everything we could. I felt very comfortable in his lessons and felt able to ask him any questions I needed to improve my English. "

“Gerry is a brilliant tutor. There’s a relaxed atmosphere and the lessons are always very productive. He quickly builds your self-belief and confidence in your own abilities. He has a good mix between lighter and harder topics to help you to improve - a session is always fun yet challenging. Superb!”
HONOR, ENGINEERING STUDENT
 
“Gerry, I’ve experienced a lot of interesting things during my stay in the UK but the most unforgettable thing is your teaching style. You are a kind, patient teacher and are always smiling. I like the way you taught us new language and expressions. Thank you also for your valuable advice. I will continue to practise and improve. Your encouragement has been really important for me. You are the most lovely teacher. Thank you!”
VICKY, FROM CHINA


As an overseas parent, we have constantly struggled to find a good tutor who could spark my son’s interest in the language. Luckily, another tutor recommended Gerry to us. We appreciated the fact that he took the trouble to establish what our needs were, the child’s learning style and our aims. 
We have been very pleased with the work and pace he had achieved with our son. His confidence has been boosted and he has found enjoyment in learning. Gerry has a wonderful way of putting the child at ease and communicating in an extremely encouraging manner. As parents we admire his patience and enthusiasm.  We would highly recommend Gerry to any parent for preparing for 11+, 13+, GCSE or beyond.

In my son’s words: “ Gerry is kind, organised, fun and fantastic!” 

SUMUDU, PARENT OF 11+ STUDENT 
                                          
“I've never had a teacher who made learning as enjoyable as Gerry. I'm so glad that I had him as my A level French teacher. As a result of his knowledge and support over the past 2 years, I'm now so much more confident with my abilities in French and my language skills have improved so much thanks to him. Gerry is honestly one of the most understanding teachers you'll ever meet. I think that his approach to teaching is what made learning so easy. No matter how hard a lesson had been, I always left with a smile. Any student would be lucky to have such an amazing, altruistic teacher like Gerry. “
