My tutor from Tally Ho Tutors taught me for two years throughout my A-level maths and physics.
Before I began with him I found the concepts and calculations involved in physics difficult but during the tutoring I received I began to flourish in the subject, not only understanding but enjoying physics. The ways in which he taught enabled me to understand the entire concept I was being learning and how the equations were developed, this aided me in using and remembering what I was taught in exam situations. I also found his persistence to teach me in different ways specific to my needs until I was confident in a particular part of the specification was a great help. I really enjoyed the fact that he could enhance my interest in physics by talking to me about current physics issues.
I found that I struggled in A2 maths more than in AS and he was great at breaking down the complex ideas used into their simple constituents, as most of A-level maths derives from GCSE. This especially helped me in core maths as I found my school teacher did not have the time to explain ideas fully, and the textbooks were short and difficult to understand.
I am hugely thankful to my tutor, and Tally Ho Tutors, for enthusiasm in lessons and the drive they gave me to succeed both in my A-levels and future studies by encouraging me to revise hard for my exams. I recommended Tally Ho Tutors to 4 of my struggling classmates who all found him great and I would recommend him to anyone else having difficulties with maths or physics. I have achieved an A in both maths and physics at A2-level and can now apply to the universities of my choice.

I had 2 Mathematics modules that I had to start from scratch early in the year and sit for in June. The timing was rather tight as it was a last minute decision to take these extra modules, therefore I made myself a timetable that I would have to keep to in order to cover everything before the exam. My tutors from Tally Ho Tutors managed to keep to the timetable and I even had an additional couple of weeks to do past-papers. He prepared and printed off for me some summary sheets which I found very useful. As long as you make it clear what you want to cover and when, he will help you do it. I managed to achieve A grades in both modules. Tally Ho Tutors is definitely useful for quick, summarised lessons when the timing is tight! You will of course need to put in the hard work yourself too. = A K, N3. AS-Level Further Mathematics 2008 =
Tally Ho Tutors sent me a highly talented tutor who is able to make very complex topics appear much more simple, with ease. His knowledge is so diverse and he seems to have an expertise in every area of physics and beyond. I have just received my A grade for A-level physics and without Tally Ho Tutors I would not have got the mark I did. I would highly recommended him to anyone struggling with physics or maths or pushing for the top marks. = Nicholas Leloup. A2 Physics June 2008 =
My tutor has been the most dedicated and committed teacher I've met since we started lessons over a year ago. Last year, his thorough style of teaching helped me get an A in A-level maths, doing both Statsitics and Mechanics modules. This year I am doing A-level further maths, with Statistics up to the S4 module, and his teaching has so far made me extremely confident, though not complacent, that I will acheive an A in Further Maths. We regularly go through full past papers in detail, and make sure that I am prepared for any question that I may get in the exams. I owe a lot to him because without his guidance and help I would not be able to get such good university offers for next year. = Omar Amlani. A-level Maths June 2007.

My tutor has an incredible talent in physics. With his help I was able to achieve a very strong 'A' grade for AS-level. His genuine enthusiasm for the subject and phenomenal knowledge, which extends well beyond the diverse boundaries of physics, certainly make him an ideal tutor to any aspiring physicist. I wouldn't think twice about recommending him. = Nicholas Leloup: AS Physics June 2007 =
My tutor has been a real help to me both in A level Maths and Physics. He manages to explain in a visual, friendly down to earth way, using methods which I have found alternative to traditional school teaching and by never ending a topic until he has ensured I have achieved a thorough understanding. He helped me to raise my Physics grade from a C in January to a very high A in June. For these reasons I have already confidently recommended him to many of my school friends who also needed extra help. I look forward to him helping me achieve A's in my A2 courses! = Toby Smith, N12: AS Maths and Physics June 2007 =
My tutor was extremely helpful. I would not have been able to
cover all the topics and revise as much as I did without his help.
The things he taught me stayed with me through the exam and his
teaching methods are very effective, in my opinion. I liked the way
that he taught me the statistics 2 module because it helped me to
understand the different distributions which I didn't understand
before. All in all I think my tutor is a brilliant tutor and I'm glad that
he could tutor me :) thanks alot. = S C, N9: A2 Maths June 2006 =
I have both immensely enjoyed and benefited from the tutoring I have received. I was not only able to resolve my individual mathematical problems but also was able to progress at a rate which suited me. I attained great results; this was achieved by working closely alongside the syllabus with my tutor and practicing essential exam techniques. My tutor was always available, especially during exam time when I needed help in solving specific problems. Tutoring gave me the opportunity to take my maths A-level a year early, a tremendous contribution to my university application. I believe tutoring can help not only in areas of weakness, but can provide challenges, extension activities and exam practice that a classroom teacher cannot. I would recommend tutoring to any student seeking to improve their education. = Anika Kaura, N12: AS Maths January 2005 & A2 Maths June 2005 =
My tutor from Tally Ho was a fun, friendly and patient teacher. With his help I got a high A in my AS Maths. = Sara Tayawali, N11: AS Maths June 2005 =
Parents say:
Tally Ho Tutors has helped both of my sons with both Maths and Physics. He is a very kind, tolerant and persuasive teacher who inspires a love and an interest in his subjects through his expansive knowledge and his never ending enthusiasm.
I would wholeheartedly recommend him for A level teaching, and both myself and my sons have recommended him for further tutoring jobs. My younger son gained A grades in both Maths and Physics this year, 2008. =Eleanor Smith, mother of student 2008=
It is thanks to Tally Ho Tutors that my son received a high grade A for A level. The tutor is an excellent physics tutor who thoroughly knows his subject and has a special talent in passing on his knowledge to students. I was very happy to receive him into our house for the tutorials, he was always courteous and respectful. I highly recommend him.'

My daughter's tutor from Tally Ho Tutors was a dedicated, patient and comitted tutor. He is very friendly and approachable and my daughter found his style of teaching methodical and easy to follow. She got an A for Maths A Level which she never thought she would be able to achieve. I would highly recommend him as a tutor. = Sabiha Chakera, N11. Mother of student 2004=
