Mr Gillman has already built a great working relationship and has given my son the confidence to believe that with work, he can be successful in English.

As we draw to a close and GCSE exams loom… it’s been amazing to watch my child go from extremely fustrated to enjoying English and being engaged! Sophie has been superb! I highly recommend you wherever possible. Thankyou!!! Helen Spirit04/03/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our daughter was struggling with English in her final year of senior school and someone recommended Mr Gillman and how glad we are to have found him! The difference in her actually enjoying English is like night and day! Mr Gillman has an amazing way of working with how that child individually needs to understand the subject - he works with them not against them, ensuring it is all going in. Mr Gillman has such a good rapport with all the children, she actually enjoys going and it’s not even a chore! Her results in the mocks went up by a couple of grades and we have high hopes for the final GCSE’s. We can’t praise Mr Gillman enough - thank you so much for helping our daughter.

Since starting her maths tuition my daughter has certainly grown in confidence and ability, In her last school test she came top of the class and she has now moved up to top set 🩷 👍🏻 Sarah Sprason26/02/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been very impressed with the service offered by Mr Gillian tuition. Luke is always up and ready for his weekly tuition which shows more enthusiasm than he had for school lessons. He enjoys working with you and feels more confident this time. The additional services on offer with extra sessions before exams and the supplementary materials available, shows your commitment to getting the students through. Unfortunately we haven't been able to take advantage of those due to other commitments. Identifying tools to help Luke with his reading has been passed through to college and will hopefully help him to pass his English this summer. I'm happy to recommend you to other students struggling with English exams. Claire26/02/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mr Gilman has been a bit of a lifesaver for us as a family. Prior to starting with Mr Gilman my son had not been to school for many months. He was awaiting an EHCP and was incredibly anxious. He was nervous about meeting Mr Gilman but from the very beginning he has felt safe and secure, has had fun and above all is really enjoying his lessons. We have now increased his sessions to two a week which he really looks forward to. This is all part of helping get him back into society and eventually back into school. Not only that but his confidence has really grown and his English has come on leaps and bounds as well! We will always be grateful to Mr Gilman and the team. Thank you Claire Nneka Osibeluwo19/02/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

What makes our team thrive?

If you’re an educator looking to work with purpose, direction, and genuine support, we’d love to hear from you.
For us, it’s not just about delivering great lessons — it’s about creating a place where people feel fulfilled, challenged, and part of something meaningful.
We’ve been reflecting on what makes our team so strong, and it comes down to our core values:
- Teamwork – We genuinely enjoy working together. Collaboration is at the heart of what we do.
- Purpose – Each tutor has their own personal “why” — and that passion drives powerful teaching.
- Direction – We’re all moving forward, together. There’s a shared vision and space to grow.
- Autonomy – Tutors lead their subjects and departments with real ownership and creativity.
- Challenge – The work stretches us in all the right ways — no one is underused or overwhelmed.
These values aren’t just statements — they guide how we support our students and each other.
