Tutoring Testimonials
My daughter has recently started lessons with Mark and after just 2 lessons she started feeling confident about the subject. He is exceptionally thorough and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a tutor.
I've had Mark for several weeks now and he's been great. His teaching style is really helpful for the learning process, you can learn to understand things rather than just remember them, which is really what you need at A level.
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for all the help and support you have given my son. He has felt that you have really helped him turn things around and without your help he would not feel the passion he has for the subject and this confidence.
Mark has been an excellent tutor in Economics in my son's final A'Level year. My son was finding it difficult to keep up with the level of content given the lack of face- to-face teaching during the pandemic. Mark provided a student led structure of tutoring which enabled my son to ask him about any questions or topics which were particularly hard. My son achieved an A grade and is very grateful for the help Mark provided.
I just wanted to say thank you so much for all of the help you’ve given Sophie over the last couple of years. It feels like the end of an era with her last lesson today. Whatever the outcome on results day I know that she’ll have done so much better for your tuition, especially when you consider the starting point, when she was so far behind the others as she’d not done GCSE Economics.
When the pandemic forced me to become a homeschooled student, I felt lost and desperately needed help with Economics. But thanks to Mr. Potts and our weekly sessions, I gained a comprehensive understanding of all the content in the specification and was confident in my ability to answer exam questions. His incredibly well curated learning resources gave me a sense of structure and his teaching style made even the most confusing topics understandable. Due to Mr. Potts' guidance and support, I went from feeling lost in my academic study of economics to achieving an A*!
I’d just like to let you know that Hanna will be starting her Bristol Uni course next week.
I’d like to thank you for helping Hanna achieve this! Your guidance and tuition was “key” and crucial in Hanna reaching her grade and whilst I was happy with her Economics teacher at School, it was your tuition which really clinched it for her!
I have absolutely no hesitation in stating that!

In the words of my son "Mark is an absolute legend!"
Mark has provided a professional tutoring service. My son has achieved an A in his A Level Economics. This would definitely not have been achieved without the structured approach that Mark adopts providing continuous practice on essay questions and a structured mock exam reflective of the exam process.

Thank you so much Mark.
I have really appreciated your teaching style this year. It has truly kept him motivated and helped him to regain his confidence. He had a hard time during Year 13. I am so glad he had you as a tutor, as he knew he could do better, and he has regained his confidence this year. A teacher can truly make all the difference, and honestly Mark, you have given him so much, so I thank you.

Our son H took weekly online lessons with Mark to help support his AS Economics, which was a new subject for my son.
Mark broke down the subject into manageable chunks and kindled my son’s interest in what was very much his last choice A Level subject. He helped my son to build the skills to structure and write answers to longer questions as well as improve his exam technique. As a result my son gained a very high A (87.5%) at AS (the highest grade available).
I have no hesitation in recommending Mark to other parents of Economics students!
