Max is a really great tutor. His lessons are well structured with examples and practice exercises and it shows he comes well prepared into a lesson.The pdf sent after the lesson shows how well the child has worked within the lesson and the mini homeworks are fun. My daughter loves the lessons, I like seeing her so confident at the end of it, which is a credit to Max and all his patience and guidance. She has been brilliant in her mock SATS exams so thank you Max for all your support and helping her smashing it
