What people have said:
Sayuki Sejima (Dance student, Rambert Dance School): “I highly recommend this teacher! Thanks to his guidance, I achieved my target score on the very first test I took after starting his lessons. He gave me customised, relevant tips aligned perfectly with my personal goals. Crucially, he provided many different ideas on what to do during the actual test, which helped me figure out the best problem-solving method for me. If you want to see real results fast, look no further!”
Salome Ntubube (PhD candidate, University of the United Nations): “Exceptional quality, effective proofreading, editing and mentoring. Michael’s guidance over the past three years has elevated my PhD work. His approach is ethical, expert, and empowering and his support makes a genuine difference. I recommend Michael very highly.”

Anna (mother of Andrew, GCSE English student : “Hallelujah, that we found Michael. My sixteen year old son required some extra support in the run up to his English GCSE. Michael offered the knowledge, support and revision confidence building techniques to help plan those dreaded essay questions. Michael has an approachable attitude to learning and recognised where my son needed a boost , working with his style of learning to get the most out of the sessions.
Thank you so much for taking all the anxiety away.”
