Reviews from First Tutors
Imported from Ian'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.

Ian is a fantastic tutor for my son. He has really improved his confidence, whilst also teaching him all the necessary skills and knowledge he needs to improve in A-Level business studies. I’d highly recommend him.

Very many thanks for the positive feedback. It is very satisfying to be able to help make a difference.

Our lessons together are always productive and beneficial. You have given me the ability to learn and think critically. I am now capable of taking on any economics essay with confidence. As a result, I was able to boost my grade and achieve an A for my economics A-level. Thank you very much for your support, I am very grateful!
Ian replied
Many thanks for the kind comments. It was really rewarding helping you to grasp how to improve your examination performance and to achiever that target reward of an A grade today. Many congratulations.

I waited until I got my son's year 12 exam results to make these comments. Whilst he "could do better" his grade was markedly improved. I am very happy with Ian's tutoring. He only had a few on line lessons with Toby and the most important issue is not just the information discussed but rather that he was able to spark an interest in the subject in my son. The use of current examples and a broad knowledge of even South Korean economics was key. I will be requesting regular further lessons next year.
Ian replied
Many thanks for the kind comments. It is really gratifying to read that I made a difference. I look forward to further tuition in the new academic year.

Ian has been an excellent tutor, and has provided Ben with the right level of tuition, exam practice questions and feedback to enable him to feel more confident and prepared for his retake exams. In addition, Ben has stated " Ian is helpful, knows his stuff and has provided useful extra materials". I would not hesitate to recommend.
