'I first heard of Chris in 2012 when he came highly recommended by a French parent here in HK. She sang Chris’s praises, saying how he had managed to improve her daughter‘s English enough to get her accepted into Yr 7 in one of the ESF schools. This so happened to be the same plan we had for our own daughter, and so I contacted Chris. What followed was 3 years of regular lessons for our daughter (who has dysphasia) and then he doubled-up on lessons as our son also needed help getting into the English system from the French Primary school.
'Needless to say, both our children benefitted immensely from Chris’s expertise as a tutor, his never-ending patience, optimism and good humour. He was infallibly punctual, always respectful of our needs and concerns as parents, and gave detailed feed-back after lessons, which was very thorough and helpful. It must have been a very challenging time teaching 2 very different siblings one after the other, but he managed to adapt to their different characters and draw out the best in both of them.
'Both our children were accepted at the ESF school that we put them down for — our daughter got her BTEC and went on to study at HKU Space; our son achieved A and A* at his English GCSEs and has gone on to do very well in his 4 A-Levels.
'I often recommended Chris to friends who were looking for a tutor for their children, and now I would like to recommend Chris to other parents who are looking for someone experienced, who has a very professional approach to teaching, all the while maintaining an equal balance of hard work, fun and discipline.'
