Leo hadn’t been given the correct academic support in maths and ultimately it affected his confidence. He ‘knew’ he wasn’t good at it. A friend recommended Rathulan, I called him around Feb half-term. Time was against us - his IGCSE was the coming summer. It is nothing short of a miracle what happened next - over a concentrated period Leo’s attitude changed. He felt he could understand maths, he then ‘knew’ he did have an aptitude and his final grade reflected this. Rathulan turned a car crash waiting to happen into a success story. I am incredibly grateful for Rathulan’s ability to teach - to properly teach, not just divulge information, but encourage and inspire. Thank you!

I cannot thank Rathulan enough for helping my daughter through her GCSE Maths. I only wish we had found him sooner. Amazing tutor.

I would highly recommend Rathulan to any parent looking for extra support for their child. Since working with him, my son’s confidence and understanding in maths have grown hugely, especially in topics where the pace at school felt too quick and he was left unsure. Rathulan takes the time to explain concepts clearly, provides excellent learning materials, and is incredibly organised in his approach. What I really appreciate is how patient and encouraging he is—my son now feels more positive about maths and is willing to tackle challenges he would have avoided before.

"Rathulan is a brilliant maths teacher! Due to illness, our daughter was unable to attend school full time and so we engaged  Rathulan to get her through the Maths GCSE. During this period he taught her much of the syllabus and she was able to go from a 5 to a mock result of 8. His teaching manner is calm and kind with a focus on the student and how they learn and engage with the subject. Esme's confidence with Maths grew significantly over this period and she really enjoyed the lessons, so much so that a potential Maths A Level might be on the cards!"

"We couldn’t have asked for someone who was more invested and supportive than Rathulan has been, giving Grace so much of his time and going over and beyond to ensure she achieved the grades she needed. As parents we can’t recommend Rathulan enough."

Joe was expected to sit foundation maths but is now continuing on to higher maths after 8 lessons with Rathulan:

"The change in Joe since Rathulan has been teaching him is extraordinary. Not only have his results improved but he is feeling more confident about his abilities and is even beginning to enjoy maths again. We feel very lucky to have been introduced to him." -

"Sophie’s confidence and self-esteem in maths has improved dramatically since having lessons with Rathulan. She achieves top results in maths tests and maths has become her favourite subject!"

Molly has thoroughly enjoyed her lessons with Rathulan. He is calm, fun and engaged brilliantly with Molly from the start. She immediately enjoyed her lessons and was always keen to continue. Her maths has really come along and it’s subject she did really well in for her 11+ exams and mock SATs. It’s been great to see how much she has come along.

Testimonial given after 5 lessons of 1:1 tuition:

"We have had the great fortune of having Rathulan as a tutor for my child. He has a very calm and pleasant manner. I have sat in on a couple of lessons and found Rathulan to be extremely clear in his explanations. He has quickly got to know my child’s level and my child’s confidence has greatly improved. He has a very good system for tracking my child’s progress and I can already see the improvements in his maths performance in his homework."

"Having Rathulan as a tutor has transformed Jack's relationship with Maths. He is in Year 8, and was moved from middle to top set in the Spring term after only just over one term of tuition. This was as a direct result of his tuition sessions. Most importantly, he now enjoys his lessons at school and looks forward to his tutor sessions, which isn't something I could have ever seen happening! We are so grateful to Rathulan for changing his outlook on Maths."

"Rathulan is very approachable, friendly and always very positive about Katy, who has gone from a Grade 4 to a Grade 6 in a very short amount of time. Katy is always happy to see Rathulan and I couldn’t recommend him highly enough."

"Rathulan came into our lives when our son had just started year 11. His confidence with maths and grade were at an all time low. He recognised and taught the missing knowledge in a kind and caring way. We can't recommend him highly enough." 

(Parent of Year 11 student)

*****

"Our son's confidence in his maths changed immediately once he started being tutored by Rathulan. His predicted GCSE grade is looking to be at least 2 grades higher than his teacher had reported. His mocks evidenced this. Rathulan is friendly, patient and is an amazing teacher. Our sons progress is reported back to us. Rathulan comes highly recommended." 

(Parent of Year 11 student)

"Our son has been working with Rathulan for a few months, and it has reignited his interest in maths, and in breaking down the challenging subjects and rebuilding his skills. Rathulan has ensured our son now feels confident in his maths lessons at school, and is on track for his GCSEs. We whole heartedly recommend him!" - 

(Jenny, parent of Year 11 student)

"Our Y11 son, by his own admission, was beginning to struggle in a few areas, with the teacher at school lacking the time in lessons to re-explain things. Rathulan provided a safe, non-judgemental, reassuring setting in which my son could ask questions over and over (if need be) and his calm manner gave my son the reassurance & confidence he needed to take his GCSE higher paper without anxiety."

(Parent of Year 11 student)

*****

"Rathulan tutored our son to sit the higher tier maths GCSE papers. Our son really enjoyed the lessons and found Rathulan to be engaging and taught in a way that he could really understand. He never once complained going to his sessions and he found real confidence in comprehending and improving. This resulted in him going from a projected grade 5 to achieving the high end of a 7 - and a large amount of self-esteem. Thank you Rathulan for amazing results, in just 9 months!"
