"Ethan was always mindful, insightful and patient. No matter what the subject of our particular lesson was, there was always room for self-expression and individuality. I truly learned how to write with Ethan’s targeted critiques of my assignments, and I am very grateful that it was Ethan who I studied with. Ethan not only curated the books from the A-Level syllabus that suited my tastes exactly, but also ensured that each lesson was targeted to my needs and preferences."

"Best tutorial I've ever had! Great discussion. Ethan was obviously engaged and cared a lot about hearing our thoughts and actually working through the implications of the material. Great fun."

"I have improved immensely under Ethan. Every time we have gone through content, Ethan goes above and beyond, explaining complex ideas simply and effectively to a very detailed degree, allowing me to reach those top grades, and exploring interesting off-spec content not only to enrich my understanding of the subject, but reach those top grades with extra reading and cool additional concepts. Ethan made me very confident in my knowledge of the content. My essay writing has improved immensely as well under Ethan, he is amazing at essay writing and clearly knows what the exam boards are looking for. I could not recommend Ethan enough"
