Amazing at explaining topics I've struggled with and very patient. Would highly recommend 👌
Had 5 online lessons so far, teaching and interaction is very good. Provided with lots of information and resources to use at own leisure. The teacher is happy to tackle any maths problems required. Very flexible approach. Engaging with my son. Great focusing on gcse questions and exam papers.
An outstanding teacher always going above and beyond for students. Very effective at ensuring students understand the concepts being taught with the variety of explanations given so every student can find a method they prefer.
The lessons are explained really clearly and in a way that makes even the harder topics easy to understand. I like how everything is broken down step by step, and the practice questions are really helpful to build confidence. Definitely recommend for anyone preparing for GCSE Maths.
A reliable website, and the youtube videos. Love the 'I DO' 'YOU DO' method. it helps to keep me on track! A very exuberance teacher as he breaks down the complex concept to small sections.
I can’t thank Fas enough for supporting my GCSE Maths. Before starting lessons, I lacked confidence, but their clear explanations and encouragement made such a big difference. I managed to get a Grade 5 – exactly what I needed to get into college! I highly recommend it to anyone who feels stuck or unsure about maths. This tutoring really helped me believe in myself.
Six months of Fas’s 1-2-1 GCSE Maths tuition took me from Set 3 to Set 1—I’ve never felt more confident. I highly recommend Fas!
