“Before I was tutored by Mr Watts, I felt that I wasn’t as confident in my English skills at school. My mum mentioned tutoring and that she had contacts with someone who does English tutoring. Once I started, I realised that my grades were slowly creeping up to my expectations. All the lessons that I did with him were extremely fun as I remember we played a few games that were linked in with the subject. Mr Watts was great at explaining key terms and expanding my knowledge of English but also making sure I understood everything. I would definitely recommend him to anybody that struggled with English. Overall, he is a great tutor and I can’t wait to learn with him again.”
