Reviews from First Tutors
Imported from Karl's First Tutors profile before the site went dark. Shown separately from Tutorperch reviews — they don't affect 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.

Karl is outstanding. Our son's confidence, exam technique, and understanding grew exponentially and this was all down to Karl and his wonderful tuition. Not only did he improve in RS, but other subjects as well, owing to the applicability of the techniques taught by Karl in other subjects. Even if my others sons are doing well in RS, I will still book in sessions with Karl when their exams approach to give them the absolute best preparation.

Truly an outstanding tutor. Delivering lessons in an engaging manner and taking the student along with him. My child is buzzing after each session with Karl and I am overjoyed that we found him through First Tutors!
