Reviews from First Tutors
Imported from Dr Lindsay's First Tutors profile before the site went dark. Shown separately from Tutorperch reviews — today they don't feed this tutor's Tutorperch rating or ranking.
How we verify these
Each imported review went through admin review. The tutor proved ownership of the First Tutors profile via one of two paths:
- Photo match. The First Tutors avatar matched the tutor's identity-verified Tutorperch photo, confirmed by admin.
- Cryptographic email check. The tutor uploaded an original First Tutors email (.eml). We verified the DKIM signature against First Tutors' signing keys and cross-checked the embedded tutor ID against the claimed profile.
The review text is the original reviewer's own words, quoted as-is. We verified the tutor's ownership of the profile, not the truth of what each individual reviewer wrote.

My daughter has found her lessons with Lindsay really helpful and enjoyable. Since she has started having lessons with Lindsay her grades have improved. Lindsay is extremely knowledgeable and explains complex topics very well. This means my daughter doesn't just know what she needs to for her exams but has a broader understanding which I feel is much more important. I couldn't recommend Lindsay highly enough.
Dr Lindsay replied
