Reviews from First Tutors
Imported from Kam'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.

Kam has been excellent, psychology is a really challenging subject but Kam has given my daughter real direction and she’s become more confident within the topic. It’s been hugely beneficial for her.
Kam replied
Thank you. Confidence is key. She is in a much better place than she was a few weeks ago.

Kam has been tutoring my daughter A-level Psychology for the past 6 weeks, and he is a fantastic tutor. He is very knowledgeable on the subject covering the A-level syllabus and goes above and beyond. He also covers any unique personalised Psychology questions my daughter feels she needs help with. Post session he provides a quick recap, next steps and detailed summary so my daughter can go over these in her own time and if needed cover anything in the next session. My daughter's confidence and marks have improved, and she is not scared to go to classes and take up the next challenge. The tutor session is for one hour, but he always goes past the hour if the topic he is discussing has not been completed and understood - a sign of a good teacher.
Kam replied
Thank you very much for your kind words. She is in a much better place than she was before tuition.

My year 13 son has really struggled with Psychology since the start of year 12. He has had a tutor since the end of Year 12, however with the exams approaching we felt that he really needed an extra push, and different learning strategies. Kam has been working with him since the Christmas break, and is very knowledgeable both on the content and the exam technique and my son is really getting the benefit of this and feeling a lot more confident as the exam season draws near. He really feels these lessons with Kam will make a big difference on his final grade. We are very happy that we made the decision to get additional support, and that Kam was able to accommodate a weekly lesson so late into the academic year. Thank you.
Kam replied
Thank you for the kind feedback. We are making really strong progress.

I feel very lucky that we have found Kam as a tutor for my daughter for Psychology. Initially I was looking for in-person sessions but have found the online sessions very effective and are obviously much more convenient. Kam has an excellent subject knowledge and is very efficient and responds quickly to all communications. He has a calm and encouraging approach and my daughter is finding the sessions very beneficial. I would unreservedly recommend him as a tutor.
Kam replied
Thank you very much for your feedback. We are now making excellent progress towards her target grade.

Kam has been working with my year 13 son since September, helping him with his Psychology A-Level. My son lacked motivation and consistency. He also struggled to plan his time appropriately before tests so I was concerned about how he would manage in the run up to his A-Levels. Kam has been a huge help getting my son organised and he is now working harder. Kam is clearly very knowledgeable both on the subject matter and exam technique and this is helping significantly. My son is getting consistently higher grades in tests and is much more motivated. Kam has shown flexibility around illnesses / school commitments which has been much appreciated. Very happy that we found Kam to tutor my son!
Kam replied
Thank you very much for your kind feedback. I’m also very pleased with your son’s progress and he is now in a much better position in the run up to his exams than he might have been.

Thanks so much to Kam, our daughter did amazing in her GCSE Sociology. He was a very effective and positive teacher and our daughter responded really well to his tutor sessions. He gave her good feedback and prepped her well for the exams. She grew in confidence with each session.
Kam replied
Thanks Ruth. The fact that your daughter didn’t have regular lessons at school and still managed to get a top grade is amazing. She’s a natural sociologist. I just helped eek that talent out. Brilliant. I’m so pleased for her.

Kam is an excellent teacher. My son has just received his A level results and gone up by 3 points from his last mocks!! Never thought that would be possible but am also not surprised as Kam is brilliant. He is very structured in his approach and asks the right questions to assess the pupil’s knowledge and encourage critical thinking, while also building the pupil’s confidence. He is reliable and professional. He’s been working with my son on A level sociology for a few weeks and I can already see improvement in my son’s knowledge, revision routine , critical thinking and motivation! I highly recommend him.
Kam replied
The fact that he has gone up three grades since the start of the year is phenomenal. He showed fantastic effort and application. I’m so pleased for him. Thank you so much for your feedback.

I am currently being tutored for my A-level Psychology exam, and I couldn’t be more impressed with Kam. He is an excellent tutor, extremely knowledgeable and always well prepared. He explains complex topics clearly and makes the most challenging concepts easy to understand. I highly recommend Kam to anyone looking for support in Psychology. Update (post A-Level results day): I got the grade I needed to get a place at the University of York to study Economics!!! I'm so grateful, Kam! I wouldn't have done it without your help! All the best.
Kam replied
That’s brilliant. York is a great university and a lovely location. I’m so pleased for you!

Kam is extremely knowledgeable, encouraging, clear, and constructive. He has managed to reignite my daughter's interest in Sociology in just a few sessions. He has helped her to expand and clarify her understanding of subject areas but also improve her understanding of what is required by examiners to achieve higher grades.
Kam replied
Thank you very much for your kind feedback. I’m so glad that your daughter’s interest has been renewed. I can definitely see that she is now making better progress.

Great support for my daughter before her Psychology GCSE. Kam helped build her confidence, improve her use of technical language and structure her answers.

My son finds it easy to grasp the concepts Kam is teaching him and has states that he explains in an engaging and easy to understand way.
Kam replied
Thank you! Some concepts are not easy to understand in Sociology. Great progress is being made! Update: So happy that he made two grades progress from the beginning of Year 13 when we began tutoring.
