What Parents Say

Exceptional transformations

‘Peter was worth every penny! My son aced his Westminster, St Paul’s, King’s and Sussex House exams in January 2022. In only eight weeks, with two sessions a week (partly online) my son got what he needed. My son can be resistant and sometimes pushes back massively when given extra work, but with Peter he worked quite happily. We will be happily re-employing with Peter next year, now with my daughter as well. - Natalia T. (successful entry to St Paul’s and Westminster).

‘My daughter in Year 3 was slow in learning to read with a tendency to lose focus. Soon after spending time with Peter, she started to enjoy everything from the classics to modern fantasies. Three years on, she is a bookworm. It is now difficult to take a book away from her and she cannot wait for his sessions… I truly believe that her love of literature has come from Peter. He is extremely versatile, guiding her through the difficult 11+ process, from Latin to Drama to reasoning and more. I feel she has been very lucky to meet Peter in this early stage… a profound knowledge of the subject that I am sure will stay with her for life.’ - Fumiko M.

'Peter taught our son in lockdown entirely online... he was significantly behind his peers ... at a poor reading level and with a strong dislike for it... Peter instilled the love of reading in a very reading-resistant child... and he passed the exam for Westminster.' - Elena L.

‘We turned to Peter in desperation... our son had lost all interest in his studies... Peter achieved the impossible and turned apathy into passion... he made a tremendous difference to our son’ - John H.

‘Our son was struggling to maintain focus and often spoke very negatively about his studies and learning in general... His restlessness and attitude were presenting huge obstacles and we were even worried that he might not achieve passes in his Common Entrance. [With Peter] he not only passed, but passed with flying colours. Peter [was] indispensable’ - Charles S.

‘Lockdown happened and my son was languishing at home… From the first lesson, the transformation in my son was incredible…He went from being bored and disinterested to engaged and enthusiastic… He genuinely would have floundered without their weekly sessions together… Peter was strict, fun and excellent. I used to joke that it wasn’t the same child!’ - Amanda F.

‘History was a drag where my son didn’t feel confident... [with Peter] his mind lit up and he became knowledgeable and passionate... he successfully passed the Winchester exam.’ - Carolina B.

‘My son met Peter having had no direct preparation for 13+ in Maths or English. His school were covering a different programme… we were entirely reliant on [Peter] to get his prep exactly right. We chose to have Peter teach online rather than a local tutor… Our schedule ran like clockwork and by the end, he was bristling with all sorts of new knowledge… We were delighted when our son got an offer to his first choice and our family’s favourite! We have already set Peter to work with our younger daughter.’ - Altaf Q.

‘Peter worked wonders. We were dazzled by what he achieved. Our son was getting C’s when Peter met him. In just four weeks of working with Peter before A-levels he went on to achieve A’s across the board! They struck a great relationship in no time — Peter swiftly gained his trust and respect and he became more passionate about the subject. Peter’s coaching and guidance were so effective that our son has now chosen to take the subject to university in the US!’ - Parto B.

Inspiring lessons

‘Peter has a very energetic and involved style of teaching which quickly allowed him to gain the trust of both of our daughters… with the younger discovering a love of poetry. He is also excellent at communicating and coordinating with parents… our younger daughter can now easily tackle math topics that used to be sources of anxiety for her’ - Zeynep B.

‘Peter was so effective that we ceased other tutoring... He gave my son the confidence and self-belief to tackle the examinations. I have since recommended Peter to my friends whose children are also aiming for top schools. Already, their feedback on Peter has been glowing. No surprise my son got an offer to attend Westminster." - Karolyn P.

‘My son had old-fashioned and ineffective tutoring. Enter Peter... gaps in his knowledge were entirely filled, and he passed his 13+... which I can say with confidence he would not have done, had it not been for Peter’

- Inga H

‘I remember the first day he came to meet us... he excels in organisation and efficiency... always positive and lifts everyone’s spirits... Peter helped immensely, especially our son, to mature.’

- Arianna F.

Dedication, integrity, and passion

'Highly versatile… Peter conducts himself with honesty and integrity… at all times highly professional and discreet… In twenty years of sourcing tutors for families […] I struggle to think of a more sympathetic and effective tutor.’ - Tom Maher (former President, the Tutors’ Association)

‘I cannot recommend Peter highly enough... my son respected his manner and sense of humour... from a parent’s point of view, a pleasure to work with’ - Penelope R.

‘Peter’s vitality made the subject alive… [he is] not only passionate, but compassionate, with responsibility way beyond the expected norm... He takes a genuine interest in our son’s welfare… our son often told us how superior Peter was’ - Jonathan E.

'An exceptional tutor... Peter turned mundane, boring subjects into lively, exciting and memorable sessions... he had a profound effect on our children!’. - Damien H.
