  1. Joe was amazing, he listened and very quickly worked out my strengths. Helping me work on my weaknesses. Joe made lessons fun making learning and gaining skills easier. I wouldn’t have passed without Joe’s excellent tutoring.

  3. My tutor Joseph Davis was the best tutor I could’ve ever asked for! When I started taking classes I had little to no confidence and didn’t believe in myself. Not only did Jo help and build that confidence he also helped me believe in myself and that I can truly achieve anything and everything if I put my mind into it. He is an incredible tutor and personalised the learning to suit my needs. There was no way I could’ve passed without his help, I am so happy and will recommend him to everyone. He is passionate about what he does, and explains everything so clearly. Thank you so much Joe.

  5. Having some additional tuition really made a difference for me. Chris Thorpe was endlessly patient and supportive. He very quickly worked out my weak areas to focus on and really built my confidence. We even practiced the exam set up process so i wouldn’t feel flustered going into the exam. I would absolutely recommend.

  6. Meet my tutor online recebtly and was put at ease straight away nomjisgement just explained what was going to happen and we refreshed what we needed to and worked through some questions from a past papers and chris helped to explain what bit were not rigjt within twn mins I knew wher eI had lost potential marks.

    Highly recommend chris thorpe

  7. Chris is a great tutor. He steps back initially letting you think about how to answer questions and if he sees you’re stuck he helps in a way that you will understand and remember. All notes are sent over for you to look over and use to help with practice exams and pass papers. Overall I highly recommend Chris and The Exam Tutor!

  8. Joe Davis helped me greatly with preparing for my GCSE exams. He gave me plenty of advice in how to score well in the exam, and helped specifically in the areas I was struggling with. He provided me with learning materials as requested to do further preparation, and I feel well equipped after having this tutoring support.

  9. Honestly i couldn’t ask for a tutor better !
    This man got me ready to do my maths Functional skills level 2 within the space of 1 month. He’s an amazing teacher, he speaks firmly clear and ensures you understand everything he’s explaining. Honestly I couldn’t ask for a better teacher. If you want to pass any type of exam this is your man to get you to that stage. Thank you Joesph you’re amazing !

  10. I could not be happier with Judith! What a kind and patient teacher she somehow makes it manageable and understandable & for the first time in my life I actually feel like I can get my Maths C!
    Judith is 5*****

  11. I took Joe’s lessons and he taught me very useful skills. He always listened to me carefully and gave me rich and practical knowledge during the lessons & many useful resources as well. Thank you so much for your help, Joe!

  12. Am so happy that I passed my reading exam by the help of Charlie Clough my tutor has been very helpful and gave me back my confidence and passed my exam in higher mark
    I can’t thank him enough , very professional , patient , understanding and listening , very effect full guidance , highly recommend for anyone struggling

  13. Chris has been so helpful. Pinpointing areas I need help to improve on, patiently going through those with me, and reassuring me on the whole process.

  14. Laura is an excellent tutor to have! If i ever was struggling with something she slowed the learning down and explained things step by step. If i needed to reschedule the lesson she had no problem with doing so. We had a different subject in each lesson, mostly the ones i struggled with. Laura tested me with different things which i needed to remember. I haven’t got my results yet but hopefully I have passed, even if they aren’t good i have learnt a lot from Laura over these past few months.
    Thanks again Laura, you are a great tutor

  15. We had a few lessons so far, but I can definitely see some progress in my 8 y.o. daughter. Our tutor considered all individual needs of the child and able to support our math journey. Homework is a really good tool not only for practicing, but also to seek support from an adult. This helps to boost confidence and self-esteem, which is highly important today.
    I’m sure we will stay for a while with these lessons as they do help my child to strive.

  16. Joe has been incredibly supportive and helpful to my studies! I’ve been able to pass the maths equivalency papers in a short amount of time, enable to start my uni course next week and I am so grateful to his help.

    I’ve always struggled with maths, I failed the exam twice and felt like I wouldn’t pass in time. However, the tutoring sessions were clearly explained, adapted and delivered efficiently in order for me to understand difficult maths subjects. Remarkably I now feel confident in subjects I had no clue about before his help so thank you so much again.

    Fully recommend his tutoring to anyone needing tuition.

  17. My tutor Joe Davis was truly a lifesaver. After failing the exam twice, I had almost lost hope of ever passing. However, after booking a class with him, everything changed. He is an outstanding teacher ,extremely supportive, knowledgeable, and patient.

    Thanks to his guidance and teaching, I was able to pass my exam, and I could not be more grateful. I highly recommend him, as I have no doubt he will thoroughly prepare any student for success.

  18. Joe has been an incredible tutor! I really appreciate how he adapted to my lifestyle and fit classes around me. He was brilliant at breaking down learning, setting helpful homework, and most importantly, giving me the confidence to believe in myself.

    Thank you so much for all your support—it’s been so lovely to have someone alongside me on this journey. Thanks to Joe, I’ve passed and I’m ready to start my course in September!

  19. I can highly recommend Wahhab — he is an excellent, patient, and kind teacher. He focused on the areas of Maths where I was weakest, and his clear, effective strategy made all the difference.

    With just five classes, I was able to reach the finish line and pass. I’m truly grateful and so glad I made the decision to book tutoring; without it, I don’t think I would have passed.

    Now I’m thrilled to share that I’ve been accepted onto a teacher training course to become an art teacher — hooray!

  20. I can’t recommend Joe highly enough! His GCSE English tuition has made a huge difference to my confidence and skills. Joe is not only an excellent teacher, explaining everything in a clear and structured way, but he also goes the extra mile to support his students.

    He was incredibly patient, always encouraging, and very flexible in accommodating my needs. What really stood out was how supportive he was — he genuinely cared about my progress and made me feel capable every step of the way.

    Thanks to Joe, I’ve made real improvements and feel much more prepared for the exam. If you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable, kind, and truly committed to helping you succeed, Joe is the perfect tutor.

  21. I had previously failed my first attempt at the English equivalency test with a grade 3, but after three online lessons with Joe, I passed with a grade 6. Joe was brilliant at explaining exam tactics and taught me a different approach to answering the questions, including working through the test in a more effective order. He also showed me how to make my writing more fluent and flowing, which made a big difference. Most importantly, he helped me regain my confidence. Thanks to his guidance and support, I achieved the result I needed. I would highly recommend Joe as a tutor.

  22. Joe has been an excellent tutor for my granddaughter. Her self confidence was very low initially and needed to be built up. Once this had been achieved, learning was able to take place. Joe worked well with her and helped her to improve her grade. It was also very useful to pop in another subject with Joe when the exams were approaching just for a brush up on exam technique, etc. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Joe

  23. I had such a great session with Mr. Joe Davis.His teaching style is clear, engaging, and full of positive energy. The examples and tips he shared were practical. I truly appreciate the A Star Equivalency team for introducing him to me.

  24. Joe Davis did an absolutely amazing job. He explained things clearly, was incredibly patient, and always made sure I really understood the material. You can tell he genuinely cares and is passionate about teaching. Thanks to him, I gained both knowledge and confidence. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.

  25. Mr Joe Davis is an excellent English tutor. He guided me very well and has really helped prepare me for my exam. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their English skills with a dedicated, professional, and friendly tutor.

  26. Joe Davis helped me in the run up to my English GCSE and I cannot praise him enough. He is a first class tutor, who is passionate at what he does, very focused, very constructive and extremely reliable; he always emailed me extra materials, practice papers and what we agreed on after sessions. He is very familiar with the syllabus and knew exactly how to direct me at each stage of my learning. As I progressed he gently pushed me out of my comfort zone to ensure I knew and was comfortable with exam requirements. Joe is extremely kind and a very motivating tutor; after each session I felt more positive about my progression, which really encouraged me and gave me the strength to continue to practise and get better. Joe is also a very organised person; we had an electronic note book, where he wrote all his comments during lessons and I could review them again at home. In addition, he is very articulate and explains everything very well and clearly. I am so grateful I was introduced to Joe. It might sound like a cliche, but I don’t think I would have passed this test had I not met him. He is everything one would expect a teacher to be – THANK YOU, Joe!!!!!

  27. This review is for Laura. She has been truly amazing, she helped me so much with my maths and my confidence in maths. I’d just like to thank her for her time and understanding, forver grateful for such a lovely, funny and kind women to help me:)xx

  28. I’ve been working with Joe Davis for the past few weeks to prepare for my GCSE equivalency test, and I honestly can’t recommend him enough. Before starting with Joe, I failed my first test due to a panic attack—I was overwhelmed and lacked confidence. Joe completely turned that around.

    He’s incredibly calm, patient, and thorough in his teaching style. He took the time to explain things clearly and helped me rebuild my understanding and belief in myself. Thanks to his support, I passed my test with much more confidence than I ever thought possible.

    If you’re looking for a tutor who genuinely cares and knows how to guide you through the tough parts, Joe is absolutely worth the time.

  29. After being told i would have to go back and sit my Math’s exams, I was panicking about the whole process but after sitting down with Laura and having multiple lessons with her, this made me feel very at ease due the lessons we were having.
    They have been excellent full of information and even worked to my standard of learning, showing me working out that id understand and being very helpful and on hand to answer any questions.
    I would highly recommend this tuition service with how supportive Laura has been from start to finish and even going even further to book more lessons for more help and support to help pass. This is an excellent service and don’t pass the chance up if you get offered the tuitions.
    Thankyou so much for all your help along each step it has been highly appreciated and will always be appreciated for going above and beyond your normal duties đŸ™‚

  30. I have to give full credit to Laura & can’t thank her enough for the classes she did with myself & Nathan. She is so patient & has a really good way of explaining theories you may have been previously struggling to understand. She is so patient & never once got frustrated when we were struggling to understand something. Laura would just simply try a different way of explaining things which always seemed to work. There’s no way I could’ve got to a point of being exam ready without Laura’s help. I can’t recommend her enough for tuition. I’ll forever be grateful as I’ve always struggled with maths as far back as I can remember & now I feel I’ve finally overcome & conquered my struggles & don’t have to avoid or dread doing maths in my day to day job role.

  31. I would like to thank my tutor Beth. She was very knowledgeable and supportive which made me confident when taking my English exams. I would recommend her to anyone who needs to feel at ease and needs someone who knows the requirements to achieve good grades.

  32. I couldn’t recommend Beth enough! She was incredibly personable, patient, and engaging. Her tutoring style made learning enjoyable, and I was able to grasp concepts quickly. I learned so much in a short amount of time and felt confident going into exams.

  34. After completing three 1hr sessions, and one mock exam, with Claudia my English reading exam result went from 40% to 96%. Claudia was quickly able to identify my weaknesses and tailor the tutorials to focus on my specific needs. Excellent service. Thank you!

  35. TL:DR Wahhab is 5 star, amazing.

    Long version:

    nearly 20 years ago, I failed my GCSE science. And I’ve had a chip on my shoulder ever since. Whilst I could get some things done without it, it always stopped my progressing in certain fields. At the age of 34 I decide that I want to get a formal teaching qualification and need to take a biology exam. Not long after trying to self teach I realise I desperately need help….

    Enter Wahhab: He takes on this impossible task of teaching me a full GSCE bio syllabus in just under 2 months, working 3 to 4 nights a week with me, 2 hour sessions. I start to recognise his face more then my own wife. He has the patience of a saint for every time I was exhausted from work and asking him to repeat what he had just said. for every time he I said ‘no sorry I don’t understand.’ he would always thank me for saying that, I realised that I was not longer in ‘school’. where I was judged and fell behind. I was being celebrated for my little victories, when I did exam questions for him and they came back ok. i will never forget the first time he said ‘5/5 well done!’. I swore so loud my wife came running in! I did not believe in myself, but he believed in me.

    Fast forward to exam week. I get the worst flu I’ve ever had. I am cancelling precious last lessons. (remember, we had 2 months and now I’m cutting it down due to sickness….) Wahhab is messaging me saying ‘i know that your sleep pattern might be messed up, If you wake up at 4am and feel like you could take a lesson then, we can do it then!’ this is when I realised that Wahhab is not built from the same stuff as normal teachers or tutors. He is an absolute forse of nature, determined to help you see your goal, be is med school, 11 plus or an old fart like me getting his GCSE finally done.

    Exam day: I am still full of flu, having had plenty of ‘Good luck’ messages from Wahhab. it starts. The questions seem….dare I say……easy. I know how to attack them. only 1 or 2 small ones I felt a little lost on on. But the vast majority I felt I could easy eat up with the strategy that Wahhab and I practiced again and again.

    The day before I booked Wahhab I got 27% in an official Mock exam. Big fail.

    For my real GCSE equivalency, I got a level 6. (Thats a high B, in the old money…)

    And you know what? the first person I texted was Wahhab. before anyone else, because I knew how excited he was for me. I could not wait to tell him how well we did. because it felt like ‘we’.

    I 100% recommend Wahhab as a tutor. I am off to do my educational post graduate (early years initial teacher training…) because we concored GCSE biology together. forever grateful.

Her lessons are clearly significant supportive and her advice are absolutely brilliant and so helpful to pass the English exam with confidence.

  39. Julia was professional, supportive and kind throughout the tutoring process. Her expertise has enabled my daughter, who lacked confidence, go into the 11+ test feeling confident. Today we found out that Georgia has passed the test! I think Julia is an exceptional tutor, as not only does she deliver fantastic teaching, she is supportive to parents through what was a stressful time. Thank you Julia! We will always be grateful for the confidence you instilled in Georgia to help her achieve a pass.

  41. Failing the exam the first time left me feeling utterly defeated, and I nearly lost all hope. However, everything changed when I started taking classes with Beth. She not only reignited my determination but also made me realize that with the right mindset, nothing is impossible.

    Beth meticulously guided me through my weak points, addressing each one step by step, and her approach yielded remarkable results in a short time. Her ability to teach not just the material but the strategies needed to maximize my marks was truly exceptional. Thanks to Beth’s support and expertise, I was able to achieve my goal.

    I wholeheartedly recommend Beth as an outstanding teacher who makes success possible.”

  47. David is an amazing teacher! we found him just a week before the GCSE exams started. He was excellent in identifying where my daughter needed help. He taught her how to write language paper 2 all in an hours lesson, when it normally takes over one year to learn this. Thank you so much David!

  48. I was extremely impressed with my tuition with Laura. She guided me through each question and broke it down in a way that I was able to understand clearly and not only that she gave me advice on how to improve my speed. I was able to go into the job application with complete confidence I would smash it. Thanks again Laura
