What students, parents and teachers say

"Rob the Bow Tie Teacher is outstanding. He's been helping my son Sam with his GCSE maths, and the improvement in confidence has been obvious. After every 1-1 online session, Sam comes straight to tell me how good it was, and I've never had any resistance to attending. Choosing him for online maths tutoring was a complete no-brainer."

"My 12 year old daughter was struggling with maths and had tried Mathnasium but it wasn't for her. Rob was great, even online, she could understand the concepts more easily as he explained concepts in a way she could understand, and taught her easy ways to remember things. His upbeat and approachable demeanour meant I didn't need to nag her to join the sessions! Her grades improved significantly but more importantly her confidence has grown to the point she feels more capable now 🤩 thank you Rob!"

"I always recommend Rob any chance I get. He can support the most academically able students to strengthen their skills and he's also brilliant with students who find the subject challenging. He is particularly gifted in understanding and working with neurodiverse students. Absolute 5⭐️ tutor and always has the best advice and guidance!"

"We are thrilled to see the progress since Rob started teaching our daughter. Her attitude towards maths, willingness to self study + post summer assessment results from school are all massively improved. His insights into both UK and UAE schools have been an added bonus for us trying to navigate between curriculum and teaching methods here in Abu Dhabi. According to our 11 yr. old, Rob motivates her to be the best version of herself without pressure and with great empathy. Need I say more??"

"Highly recommend for maths tutoring. My son will be doing his GCSEs this year and started maths tutoring during Year 10. We've found his confidence in maths has improved greatly as he has been able to go back over areas with Rob that he didn't quite understand in class. I'm confident that, with Rob's help, he will get the pass in GCSE maths that he needs for college."

"Mr. Rob Wakeling is an amazing teacher. I am delighted to share the news that my son scored so well in Maths. My son after becoming Mr. Wakeling's student has improved from a grade D to C (almost B) in his A-Levels. Mr. Wakeling's coaching, nurturing and mentorship has helped him achieve this. Thanks to Mr. Wakeling for his your valuable support. We as parents are so grateful to Mr Wakeling."

"Rob is an excellent tutor. Tutored Megan in GCSE maths and science. Immediately put Megan at ease and gave her the confidence to try out of her comfort zone. Gaining confidence was a big part in achieving amazing grades at GCSE. The girl who cried about maths for her whole school life and struggled with science got a 6 in maths and 6,6 in science with a remark pending for science as 1 mark off a 7. On average was getting 4 and 5's before tutoring."

"This website really helped boost my maths gcse grade and made me more confident with certain topics I was struggling with. Thank you Bow Tie Teacher!"

"Rob is an excellent maths tutor. He is patient, calm and mindful of individual needs and ability level of the child. He makes maths accessible, and knows when to challenge and when to break things down. We highly recommend Rob as a maths tutor."

"Rob is kind, patient & very good at explaining concepts in a more palatable way than most. Even when my daughter is in a bad mood, his friendly demeanour makes the session far more enjoyable for her. She is slowly building confidence because Rob doesn't make her feel embarrassed for forgetting things or getting things wrong. Encouragement in maths is everything, so I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rob as a tutor."

"My daughter has been having her lessons with Rob since last year and, thanks to his patience, ability to adapt to her learning pace, she was able to progress further and in depth in her understanding of different GCSE math topics. He is a great tutor who tailores his sessions to my daughter's needs and she is feeling comfortable to ask questions. Rob does explain topics clearly and once it is understood, he offers alternative approaches/ methods to solving various math problems. My daughter has grown her confidence and started believing in her ability to improve her grades. We highly recommend Rob as the math tutor."

"My 12 year old son with dyscalculia, started lessons with Rob a few months ago. After a couple of lessons my son said that with this teacher anyone will be able to understand and most importantly to enjoy maths. Last night my son again mentioned to me that Rob is an amazing teacher with tonnes of patience, who is able to take you step by step and break down complicated topics. If only other teachers had an ounce of Rob's talent in teaching maths, there would be so many more happier students!"

"Rob has been tutoring my daughter for the last few months, in this time her confidence has hugely grown, and he has really made a difference. I can't recommend Rob enough!"
