Gareth has been tutoring our 11-year old daughter for the past year.  In that time we’ve seen her grow more confident, focussed and methodical in her work and hugely improve in areas, especially maths, where she was struggling, especially in terms of her confidence.  Most importantly, she loves her lessons with Gareth – he makes things fun, relaxing and makes her feel listened to and encouraged.  I’ve recommended Gareth to friends and will continue to do so!  We hope he will be working with our family for a long time to come. – Mrs K

We have been so lucky to have Gareth tutor our twins – helping them through 11+ preparation and their SATS, in both English and maths.  Although both children approach things in very different ways, Gareth has had no trouble in identifying how to incentivise and engage them individually – and equally for maths as well as English. The proof has been in sterling results – we are delighted. But beyond results, it has been a pleasure to hear them enthusing about the Latin roots of English words, how they can compare characters in Animal Farm with key figures in history or just simply seeing their confidence grow. Gareth has a wonderful delivery and uses technology to great advantage. He is so skilled at getting the best out of our twins – he even had them enjoying non-verbal reasoning. We cannot recommend Gareth highly enough!  – Mrs C

“It’s been fantastic to watch Gareth discover and then encourage my son’s hitherto unsuspected enthusiasm   and talent for Maths. Not only has this helped with school but brought a really rich new dimension to his education.” – Mr B

Gareth has been my son’s tutor for a year and a half, and my son thoroughly enjoys it. My son is passionate about maths and finds that the session with Gareth is both fun, educational, and challenging at the right level. My son has found it incredibly beneficial to be tutored by Gareth once a week where they discuss any potential maths challenges from the curriculum, cement knowledge as well as providing  him with the opportunity to advance on the curriculum. We look forward to many more sessions with Gareth. – Mrs H

Gareth is an extremely committed and conscientious tutor who has helped my son regain confidence in his own ability. He is very generous with his time in discussing and understanding each individual situation and guiding parents/carers if needed. Gareth provides focus and structure to learning, without it seeming overbearing. He is realistic with goals but at the same time striving to achieve the best possible outcome. I have been especially impressed with his approach to English with my son, who is not keen at all. Gradually building up confidence and providing context – which is so important particularly in subjects that they find more difficult. – Mrs P

We know Mr. Gareth Evans from his tenure as headteacher of our daughter’s school. We consider him to be a highly competent, caring, imaginative leader with uplifting energy and attention to detail. He fostered a culture of inclusion and respect, and was able to motivate children by example and encouragement. He was resilient in the face of adversity, in particular in his reassuring response several sensitive situations. Mr. Evans successfully upgraded the school’s procedures and their execution, resulting in the highest grade in the ISI inspection. As a headteacher Mr. Evans has all the necessary management, social and soft skills in abundance. He possesses a true passion for children’s education as well as immense professional and cultural knowledge that he is willing to share generously.

We engaged Mr. Evans as a private online tutor during the pandemic for our 8-year-old daughter from September 2020 for a full school year for two hours per day plus homework and offline support. He continued on a part-time basis the following September after her return to school. His thorough and committed teaching style provided the necessary framework to stimulate our daughter to top performance. Consequently, she was able to accelerate her learning during this time, in some subjects completing assignments two years senior to her year. He was also skilled at maintaining the momentum of her learning on days when she was less receptive or when she keenly felt the absence of other children. Mr. Evans’ ability as a teacher is clearly a huge asset to his ability as a headteacher.

I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Gareth Evans as a private tutor for children. He was recommended to me and really came to our rescue in our hour of need. With only 6 weeks to prepare my son for English and Maths entrance tests to some of the top UK academically selective boarding schools he quickly worked his magic. Reliable, organised, structured with a friendly and engaging manner my son came on leaps and bounds. Gareth supported and encouraged while also providing stretch and challenge. He is patient, but also keeps his eye on the goal, preparing engaging and relevant lessons, giving helpful feedback and homework. He has been so excellent that even though my son not only has two offers but also scholarships, we have kept him on to keep the academics ticking over. He was so impressive he blew the competition out of the water and I stopped working with one tutor who simply was not on a par with Gareth. – Mrs H

Access to quality education is a crucial asset in our world. Discovering an exceptional teacher who not only imparts knowledge, but also supports, mentors and fosters a love for learning, is truly invaluable. Gareth Evans is this teacher.

I think his extensive and proven experience, combined with deep cultural knowledge and profound pedagogical insight, enriches the learning experiences of our children, both as a private tutor and as a headteacher in a school setting. Beyond his professional expertise, over the years we have come to know Gareth is a genuinely wonderful and kind person.

What I find sets Gareth apart is his ability to comprehend each child’s unique needs and always nurture a positive learning environment. He goes beyond being a tutor; he quickly becomes a mentor and a source of inspiration for our children to achieve their very best, while they still enjoy every step of their learning journey.

We wholeheartedly trust Gareth to provide the best education for our children and recommend Gareth Evans Education to everyone. Thank you, Gareth; we feel immensely fortunate to have your guidance and support all these years.

I have been hugely impressed by Gareth. He knows his job and children inside out. He also understands parents’ concerns and is able to advise on how to choose schools, handling them, what to look for and what to look out for. I have found his advice and educational support invaluable. I cannot commend him highly enough and will always be grateful for how he helped us secure the offers we needed in record time. – Mr H

I cannot thank you enough for enabling me with the valuable insight to see my situation from a completely different viewpoint, that I could not have envisaged. Changing my perspective on my current situation enabled me to break free from the barriers that I had built up and move forward in my profession the way I wanted to. You gave me genuine support and limitless patience. I am now so much happier and feel inspired and energized again. C

I have had Gareth as my tutor for nearly two years and have improved so much under his tutelage. I have always enjoyed maths and it has been great to spend time working through new and interesting topics with him. He always finds ways to make learning enjoyable – often through delving into literary characters or subsets in maths. He is very patient and listens if you ask him to focus on a particular area. I always look forward to his lessons and come out feeling enthusiastic about what I have learnt. I feel so fortunate to have had Gareth as a tutor and would recommend him to anyone. – A

I would (without hesitation) recommend Gareth as a tutor. He is very kind, and is always so patient if you don’t understand something and will talk you through it until you know it. He has definitely helped me to be more confident in Maths and in English. The homework that he sets (which is optional) is always great fun! I always look forward to my tutor lessons with him. I have improved so much because of him. – B

“Gareth is great. He makes maths really fun and interesting, and it’s helped me loads at school. I always look forward to lessons. It’s one of my favourite things of the week.” – V
