Testimonials

Daniel has been an amazing tutor, helping our daughter to get through the North London independent school race. He knew exactly how to steadily build on her storytelling, adding complexity and eloquence step by step.

Daniel has a very engaging and encouraging style of teaching which made our daughter look forward to every lesson. Most importantly, this built her confidence which was key for doing very well in her interviews.

Outcome: Unconditional offers from three of the four top schools applied to.

Daniel really helped me to gain confidence for my interviews. He is very knowledgeable about what is expected in the interview process so I improved very quickly.

He is a great tutor as he is very encouraging and supportive. I definitely recommend Daniel to anyone who is wanting to brush up on interview techniques and show their very best.

Friendly and knowledgeable.
I enjoyed the lessons and look forward to more. He knows a lot and communicates very well 🙂

Changed how my son thought about literacy.
Outcome: Much better results at school

A superb, thoughtful and insightful tutor who helped our son with his English in prep for major exams.

Daniel established a great rapport with our son and was able to push him when necessary but ease off at the right time to make sure he wasn’t losing confidence.

We can’t recommend him highly enough.

Subject: English
Outcome: Significant improvement and success at top London schools

Daniel is one of my best teachers in my life. He is very amazing in terms of personality and also in English Language. I love to have him as my tutor for my studies because he is a supportive person and lovely.

I adore the way he encourages me to do well in studies. His ideas are very tremendous. I learned a lot from him especially in order to improve my confidence in speaking, writing and to express my ideas in a simple way. I love him for his personality, and the qualities he has in him as a teacher give me a trust to recommend him to anyone.

Daniel was my tutor of Business English. He helped me a lot with preparation for interviews, working on documents and improving my business writing skills. I am extremely happy with his help and grateful to him for all of his support!

He is a very polite, well-organised and precise, which is very important, person. He clearly understood my needs, my weaknesses and my aims, which we achieved in a short time.

I really recommend him as a tutor and a professional if you would like to see results and not waste your money and time!

Daniel, I just would like to say that you are the best. You did a great job with me and I am so happy and grateful. I feel more confident and I have passed my exam. Many thanks.

Daniel was reliable, built up Amy’s confidence, got her interested in the books and we were really pleased with how the exams went. Excellent tuition.

My Summer Angel!

JIa has just finished year 8, and all Texas results were adequate, but a real noticeable weakness from all subjects- she wasn’t able to articulate her point well enough.

Daniel is a fantastic teacher. We have read a book a week and he has discussed current affairs and different types of writing.

The best thing for me is Jia is going into year 9 motivated, developed and suddenly loves English.

I really like Dan – honest, clever, kind. I’ve known him about five years now as he taught my daughter Rebecca twice – once for her GCSEs and then again during her time at uni. It didn’t seem to matter what she was studying, he helped her get to grips with it and feel a lot more confident! Invaluable. I can recommend him very highly.

Mr Sage to the rescue.
Daniel was our hero as he tutored my daughter. Every effort was made to accommodate our timetable and every action only but led to a growing in confidence!

Daniel allows a comfortable and homely setting which steers concentration in but one direction, the class at hand.

We were an exceptional case for a resit as KHS let my daughter down by not entering her for her exam and 6 months later had to come back to resit due to their Blunder.
We found Daniel only but 10 weeks before the exam and ever so pleased we did.
It was difficult on both sides but both parties worked very well together in achieving their common goal to pass English thanks to this amazing worldly man.

A person, a teacher and a professional of true excellence.

It’s a sheer delight to meet Daniel and even more to work with him or have the privilege to be tutored by him. One of a kind.

Daniel is an excellent tutor. He has been providing lessons for my son for almost two years and it has made a tremendous difference in my son’s writing skills and interest in the subject. As a result my son’s English and Media grades have improved.

Daniel goes the extra mile by recommending good reading books and advice on presentation skills and has also recommended events my son can go to to enhance his interest and talent.

I recommend Daniel as a tutor highly.

Daniel took our daughter through some essential steps to enhance her comprehension, not only of the passages to be studied and critically discussed, but also of the interpretation of what a question is actually asking. The techniques he showed are useful not just in English language and literature but in many other subjects too. He really instilled in our daughter a sense of her own confidence, and she felt much better equipped to tackle complex subject matter herself.
Daniel is a kind and intelligent person who has a way with words that anyone can understand.

Outcome: A* at iGCSE level in both English Language and English Literature (and a happy student!)

I am extremely happy with the lessons I have had with Daniel . He has really given me good support and made me feel like I am progressing.
One thing that I love about Daniel is that he goes the extra mile to help his student despite the time.
Outcome: I was able to produce a strong critical essay in my work all because of Daniel’s help.

Daniel has been extremely encouraging and positive in his tutoring with my 13 year old son and I believe his school work has improved as a result. Daniel is keen to discuss the areas we feel he should be focussing on, but he also is keen to find subjects which will keep my son engaged.

I was impressed when he went through my son’s book shelves with him so he could get a sense of what makes him tick. I would definitely recommend Daniel.

Daniel proof-read an essay for me and it was great!
He responded very quickly to all of my messages and kept me up to date with his progress on my work. This made the process totally stress free – with my current work load it was nice to not have to worry about if and when a tutor may get back to me!
The essay came back fully annotated, addressing the negatives and positives of the work.
His organisation and communication is also great, very helpful I would definitely recommend!

A great teacher! Excellent all round.

Daniel tutored my daughter Eden for her English GCSE in 2016. She benefited from his lessons immediately and enjoyed them too! His feedback to me was uplifting yet honest and I had full confidence in him.

Eden did really well in the exam and I can without a doubt state that this was down to Daniel’s tutoring. He restored her confidence and passion in the subject and that was priceless.

First-rate tutor and a wonderful person, English and confidence coaching

Our seven year old son has had so far four lessons with Daniel (confidence building and English, with the emphasis on writing skills) and has already demonstrated clear progress. He is looking forward to his sessions with Daniel who makes his lessons stimulating and interesting. We cannot recommend Daniel highly enough – professional, inspiring, approachable, versatile.

Outcome: Increased confidence and improvement in written English

Daniel has been an excellent tutor for R, who, though academically bright, was not ready for his imminent GCSE English exam and was underperforming at school in the subject. Daniel came in just a few weeks before the exam and gave R some strong support in firming up his exam techniques, working from R’s strengths to maximise his confidence and to improve his purchase on the subject.

R found him very helpful, and well qualified to tutor him at GCSE level in the areas where he most needed guidance and advice. R went in to his exam greatly boosted by Daniel’s teaching – and we are very grateful to him for his sensitive, informed and robust approach.

I am really grateful to Daniel for helping my son just few days before his gcse exams when he suddenly starting panicking and losing his confidence. Daniel gave him full support and confidence to do his best in the exams.

Outcome: 9!

Best tutor ever.
It has been a great pleasure having Daniel as my son’s English tutor. My son really struggled with his writing and it was one of the subjects he detested.
Thankfully we found Daniel at the right time.

He has not only been a tutor but a great mentor as well. He helped him build his confidence, motivate him and been inspirational. I have seen his writing improve significantly.

We wish we had found him sooner. Will be in touch again for my younger son’s English GCSEs soon.

A really helpful and nice teacher!
Daniel’s lessons have always been very helpful and interesting. They have improved my writing and other English skills significantly. I really enjoyed the lessons.

I approached Daniel to assist me in preparing for the English Language and English Literature GCSE’s. We started by working on developing the complexity of my essays, on increasing fluency and grammatical accuracy in writing as well as looking at model examples from newspapers. During the exercise, Daniel used his guided teaching style to pinpoint my mistakes and provided insightful advice and helpful exercises. This helped bring my writing to a new level by developing my weaknesses and expanding on my strengths.

Closer to the actual exam we worked together on practising essays, exam technique and comprehensions. I also sent a myriad of essays to Daniel to mark, all of which he provided with detailed, constructive criticism and commentary.
I also feel its important to mention that Daniel helped me write a personal statement and prepare for an interview for an application to City of London school, which was a success.

All in all, despite the fact that we had relatively few lessons together, I feel that they really did count and where absolutely instrumental in my progress from a 6 in English Language in the mock to a 9 in the GCSE.

Dan the man! Just want to thank you SO much for tutoring my grandson. He so enjoyed his time with you. He said you made everything interesting. And fun! And his results were brilliant. We are so proud of him and so grateful to you.
Outcome: Passed with flying colours! Brilliant!!

Tutor to the rescue.
With just 6 months of tutoring my son achieved an A grade in GCSE English.

Leading 6 months to the exams we were told by my son’s independent school that he does not stand a chance of passing English Language.

Daniel came to the rescue and I can’t ever thank him enough. We were desperate for a pass. Never thought he would walk away with an A grade.

You are a star! Thank you.

Wise and knowledgeable teacher.
Daniel has gone out of his way with many things to help with improving our English, such as knowing how to find all the best resources. He is very direct and kind and I am enjoying the lessons. I would highly recommend him. Thank you.
