About
Friendly, approachable and patient with an adaptable/ flexible tutoring style catering for individual student needs. Help to build confidence and subject knowledge and advice on revising, exam technique and past paper question practice for those doing key exams.
Many past/current students would provide a personal recommendation and report that their confidence and grades have improved as a result of the tuition. Many past clients have re-used my services for younger siblings, which speaks volumes.

No Tutorperch reviews yet. After a lesson, students can leave a verified review here — they're the canonical signal we use for this tutor's Tutorperch rating and ranking.
Reviews from First Tutors
Imported from Dr'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.

Alison has been working with my 16-year-old stepson to help him prepare or a GCSE Maths re-sit. We have been VERY impressed by all aspects of her work. She gives us regular feedback on his progress and has sent us links to several useful websites to help with his revision. I would not hesitate to recommend her as a Tutor. She is simply superb!

Alison has been very positive for our son. He feels that she knows the subject areas extremely well. We asked Alison to focus on exam technique & marking schemes etc & she has completely tailored the sessions around that. For a 15 year old boy to notice the benefits, complete additional work & be pleased to attend says it all! We will definitely use Alison again for our other children.

Alison, Sian and I are really pleased! Within the first hour with you Sian felt far more comfortable with science in general and that things were making sense. The book that you recommended has made a huge difference too. Wish we'd done something earlier and we'll definitely be carrying on (hoping you'll have space!) next year. Thanks Kath & Sian
