"Martin has a unique ability to really understand each individual child"
Testimonial from Michael Joyce (Yr 7):
Martin has been my maths tutor for nearly 3 years. In this time he has been extremely helpful and supportive. Because of this I was able to improve significantly in mathematics. I would not have been able to do this without him as my tutor. Thanks Martin.
Testimonial from Helen Boocock (mother of Michael Joyce, Year 7):
I think it is quite a task making maths tutoring fun and effective, especially at a weekend, but that is what Martin has always managed to do with Michael. In addition to teaching in a friendly, relaxed, aged appropriate manner, Martin’s years of experience in teaching maths and working with children of all ages really shines through.
Martin has a unique ability to really understand each individual child; their strengths, areas for improvement and their personalities and tailor his teaching to their needs and personality to get the best out of them. We have had the pleasure of working with Martin for nearly three years and Michael has enjoyed and benefitted from every session. Martin is the perfect balance of calm, guidance and assertiveness (when needed) to push Michael when he needed it, but also celebrate successes and wins, such as understanding a maths concept that was eluding him. He uses his sense of humour to keep each session engaging and interesting, and there has not been a session with Martin that Michael has not enjoyed (and they have been Saturdays).
It’s been a long time since I’ve done any maths (and a long time since Tom did too) so it’s been great having Martin to explain any ‘new’ ways maths is now taught, which helps us support Michael between sessions and during his homework.
Thanks Martin for all your hard work, and we hope you’ll be available for another six years, until Michael finishes school!

Sarah Charlie's Mother and school teacher (Year 6)
"he is simply the best there is!"
"Martin has been tutoring my son Charlie in Maths for 3 years now and I believe this has been the best decision I have made regarding my son's education. I have seen consistent and impressive improvements in my son's test results over this time taking him from a position behind the pack to one where he is now confident in his ability to learn new concepts and solve problems.
Martin is very methodical and takes time to ensure the student masters the foundations before bringing them up and beyond the level of their peers. He always encourages any positive behaviours and by using his extensive real-world educational experience combined with some humour, ensures that they are driven to succeed. My son, now in Year 6, genuinely looks forward to their session each week and comments that Martin is helping him to understand the concepts he is learning at school.
I have used other tutors and programs in the past but none have come close to providing the results Martin has. I have found him to be prompt, courteous and flexible and feel he provides the best value for money by far. I will continue to use Martin to assist my son - he is simply the best there is!

Nikki and Marco Parents
"We highly recommend him"
“Martin is one of those rare teachers who inspire their students and make them excited to learn! Our son looks forward to his weekly maths lesson and comes out of his room with a grin on his face and high self-esteem. Martin has the ability to explain complex problems in a way that kids understand, and consistently exceeds our expectations by putting in extra time and effort, and by building a trusting and strong relationship with our son. He is unfailingly professional, punctual and above all, an excellent tutor who has produced extraordinary results in a short time. We highly recommend him for anyone looking for maths tutoring for their child, and particularly for students who require acceleration and extension.”

"I thoroughly recommend your services to other parents"
"J. has learnt more over the last 15 weeks since you began tutoring him than he has during his first 4 years of schooling.

You have a kind, patient and friendly approach with children and a thorough understanding of the different learning styles in order to get the most of out them. I thoroughly recommend your services to other parents who are thinking of one-on-one tuition."

Megan Taylor Zac's mother (Year 6)
"Martin was exceptionally patient"
"During Year 6 my son had become disinterested in school and it was beginning to show in his results, particularly Maths. He was resistant to the idea of a tutor to help him improve his maths marks, but Martin was able to win him over with his calm engaging manner almost immediately. Martin was exceptionally patient and generous with his time. He was able to motivate my son to practice maths where I had been unsuccessful in doing so. As a result my son began to enjoy success in maths at school again. I highly recommend Martin's services as a maths tutor."

Michelle Tucker Early Childhood Educator - Sara's mother (Year 7)
"I have noticed an amazing improvement"
"Just a quick note to say thank-you for helping Sara. In the past 10 weeks I have noticed an amazing improvement in Sara’s confidence with maths and her ability to use the strategies you have taught her. Sara gets excited even of the thought of you coming to tutor her, and is always happy to listen and get involved in the tutorials. Martin, you have shown Sara that maths isn’t hard and anybody can do it. Consolidating basic number facts and multiplications has meant it is all coming together naturally for her.
I am happy to see Sara pleased with herself, and confident in maths again. Martin, I can’t thank you enough."

Martin has high expectations of his students because he believes they can achieve far more than they initially believe themselves."

If we ever notice that Bailey starts to slip behind again you will be the first call that we make. Thank you."
