Perfect! Dr Alexis Forss is a genuinely remarkable tutor. His GCSE lessons with my daughter became events to be looked forward to - carefully prepared, entertaining, instructive and often surprising. The depth of his knowledge of Shakespeare is remarkable, but most importantly he was able to share his enthusiasm for the subject which allowed her to develop a real understanding of the numerous texts studied. His help with essay writing was similarly invaluable; mistakes were corrected in creative way with a focus on positive development rather than simply avoidance of errors. And it all worked brilliantly: from struggling to achieve predicted Grade 7s in both Language and Literature, she was awarded Grade 9 in both – much to her surprise and delight.

Perfect! I thought it went excellent as a introductory lesson. Looking forward to next week session.
