Matthew McCowen

I was anxious about my daughter being tutored remotely for her upcoming AS exams, partly as I've never used a private tutor before but also as my daughter, whilst very academic is unwell physically and mildly autistic and therefore finds it stressful meeting new people and communicating socially. I needn't have been apprehensive. Matthew surpassed our expectations! He instantly put my daughter at ease, was incredibly knowledgeable, an expert in his field and after the first session we both knew we had made the right decision. The sessions were completely catered to the weak areas my daughter needed help with, Matthew let her lead with what she wanted to cover in each session and he was swift in moving on to the next topic once he knew she understood, thus using his and her time very effectively snd providing value for money.

We will no doubt be contacting him again fir her A2's next year! More...

Being tutored by Matthew was the most positive experience for my A-Level studies. From my experiences with tutors, Matthew has been the only one so far that truly goes above and beyond - he shows genuine care with a deeply passionate approach.

My experience summed up:
- He adapted to different learning styles to aid my dyslexia
- He made active effort to be available and suit my schedule
- Communication and contact was hassle-free and efficient
- I was able to book as many sessions as I wanted, weekly/daily
- He has no cancellation fee (very understanding for students!)
- Zoom sessions were very comfortable, enjoyable, easy to use
- Online whiteboard is used, can save your work (and review it)
- He has a very affordable price for such high-quality sessions
- He frequently reviews your progress with exam questions
- Helped me feel interested and eager in my subjects
- Taught me both Physics and Maths A-Level (very convenient)

In general, such a friendly, warm, compassionate and lovely man who I would not have been able to get through my A-Levels without. I have struggled academically and mentally a lot, but Matthew has always been extremely helpful - both as a tutor and mentor. I highly recommend! :) More...

Matthew was the best tutor I ever had, he has a great level of knowledge and is extremely patient! He is able to explain topics in different ways if you didn't understand the first time around. One of the rare people who can make learning/ tutoring an enjoyable experience, highly recommended. More...

Matthew was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. It was a pleasure being taught him!

Being tutored by Matthew was a very positive experience . We reviewed my progress often , so there were no gaps in my knowledge and I developed a thorough understanding of the topics . He was very patient and polite , and always went the extra mile . After the year of tutoring I had, my academic confidence had grown greatly and I was able to start my Maths course at university . Honestly nothing but good words to say More...
