This is what the mother of one of my students wrote about me
" I am writing to you with regards to being able to provide you with a reference for Gerard Gillham, children's tutor.
We have known Gerard for just over two years when he started coaching our eldest daughter, for her 11+ entrance exams into three local independent schools.
He provided an initial assessment followed by weekly coaching and homework in English, Maths, Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning.
We were very pleased with the solid foundation he gave her to sit her exams with confidence. We very much liked the convenience of not having to leave the house for yet another "run" to an activity.
He is currently tutoring our son, aged 9, who will sit his 11+ in January 2011.
Gerard's initial assessment was very helpful and we now have weekly lessons with homework to follow on.
This time round we are using Skype and a webcam, which is fantastic.
Gerard is able to teach him face to face and that means he cannot get distracted and lose his concentration (my son, that is!). We are also, if we wish, able to sit in on the lesson.
At times I have found myself having to work alongside my child as I need to access my computer.
Gerard never gets frustrated with him, despite the fact that he appears to have forgotten something recently taught or can at times appear disinterested, which would certainly test my own patience!
In fact, listening in on the lesson helps me follow up the homework activity in a more focused manner when I can see what Gerard is trying to achieve. I could not do this if I was dropping my son off and picking him up one hour later from a locally based tutor.
I would thoroughly recommend Gerard to you.
He treats children with respect, is very fair and his lessons start promptly".
