Our son was struggling in the transition from GCSE to A level and we wanted to help him with an expert. We conducted thorough research and came across Dr Vincent McKee. I sent an email and received a call back that same evening. He instantly reassured us and explained how he could help. Our son bonded with him straight away and I'm very pleased to say he passed his AS level with a good grade. We are continuing the tuition into A2 level as I know with the support he has been getting here will pass with flying colours. Dr McKee is so intuitive to learning needs, he explains and cajoles the information out. We are so very grateful for coming across him and would highly recommend him to anyone. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

Unfortunately, the session was unprofessional and off-topic. The tutor lacked knowledge of the A-Level History curriculum, shared irrelevant personal stories, and made inappropriate comments. We ended the session early and received no refund. Not recommended.

Vincent has done a great job tutoring my son. He identified where William needs help and set the work accordingly. Vincent’s dedication and encouragement has resulted in William passing English exam this year ( he failed twice before). I have received a regular feedback too which was a great help. Highly recommend Vincent, he helped William building confidence back and made a huge difference in William's writing skills.

The Year 11 English GCSE curriculum is certainly not the easiest subject. My son struggled with his thoughts and ideas and how to translate this to paper. Vincent helped him to deepen his understanding of complex themes like ambition and power. His analytical skills have sharpened considerably through English Literature assignments, where he learned to dissect both classic and modern texts.
A significant contribution to his success has been his tutor, who provided invaluable guidance and support. The tutor's expertise helped him refine his writing style, making it more expressive and compelling. Additionally, the tutor's encouragement during creative writing modules boosted his confidence and enhanced his ability to articulate thoughts with clarity and imagination. Overall, the dedicated tutoring has significantly enriched his appreciation for language and literature, preparing him well for future academic challenges.

Our son was struggling with the transition from GCSE English Language to A level and we wanted to get him some expert help. We conducted thorough research and found Dr McKee. He replied to my email that same evening and he instantly reassured me.
Both us and my son bonded and he is so informative, his lessons are engaging and he knows exactly how to draw out the knowledge and skills required to think critically.
I am very pleased to say that my son passed his AS English with a very good grade and we are continuing the tuition into A2 year.
If I could give more than 5 stars I would, I am so very thankful for the guidance and tuition from Dr McKee and how much he has helped my son enjoy learning again.
