“Stephen started supporting my son towards 18 months before his GCSEs and as we have just received his results, it’s a decision that I am so pleased we made. Before the tuition started, Daniel was predicted 56 and last week was awarded 87 in AQA Combined Higher Science. Daniel was apprehensive and lacking in confidence at the start, but as he started to get more of an understanding in the subjects and see an improvement in his grades, his confidence grew and he began to engage more. Stephen really takes the time to find the knowledge gaps and prepares lessons and homework to address these. The weekly two-hour lessons on Skype flew by and Daniel enjoyed the time he spent with Stephen. We were apprehensive at first about the tuition being online, but needn’t have worried. Stephen is an expert at this and creates presentations for each lesson, making it easy to follow along and helping my son to make a good set of notes, alongside then testing his grasp of the new knowledge. Stephen is incredibly knowledgeable but is able to teach at a level that engages, educates and makes learning more interesting than at school, whilst at the same time developing rapport and engaging at Daniel’s level eg finding out his hobbies and making an effort to keep up to date on them. At the end of every session, I would go on to the call to be updated by Stephen as to what has been covered in the lesson and what Daniel needs to work on over the next week. Over the 18 months, Stephen really did go above and beyond to support Daniel and we really couldn’t have asked for anymore. Even helping and supporting him to think about how to schedule his revision across all subjects not just the Sciences. He taught him new ways to revise and the pitfalls of his previous methods eg not flash cards, which helped across his other subjects too. He helped me manage the relationship with Daniel’s teachers to ensure he was getting the right information from school. Each week he would discuss what Daniel had learnt in the sciences at school and help reinforce that knowledge too. He really has been part of our team the past 18 months and we are really grateful. He is more than just a tutor as he genuinely cares, kept in touch with both Daniel and myself and genuinely wanted Daniel to do well across all subjects. It is just a shame Daniel isn’t going on to do A level Sciences! I would thoroughly recommend Stephen as a tutor to anyone looking”.

“Stephen helped me with AQA GCSE Biology, Chemistry and Physics, in which I received a grade 8 throughout on results day, after being at a grade 5/6 at the end of November in year 11. His tutoring is carefully and thoughtfully tailored to each tutee, and he adapts this throughout, ensuring he is teaching them in the most efficient way so that they can perform their best throughout exams. His tutoring enables the tutee not only remember the topic, but to fully understand it so that they can explain it and answer any type of question that they receive on this topic.
Stephen’s tutoring is online – which for some tutors/tutees, makes a large difference, but for Stephen’s it doesn’t. Each lesson is engaging, allowing the student to see the powerpoint and videos of practicals that he projects, but also allowing the student to ask questions and have the ability to learn at their own pace. He helped me form a study schedule that was achievable, but one that I was also able to follow from the end of March, all the way through to the end of exams at the end of June. It made me realise that as long as you are working hard and effectively, you don’t need to be working from the early hours of the morning until late at night, as you require time to rest in order to be able to keep a study schedule going on for the duration of the exam period.
The lessons consisted, in my case, of re-learning a topic with Stephen or perhaps being taught one that I hadn’t been, and often continuing to be taught this for a few sessions, to cover all content, and then Stephen would set me homework, on each aspect of this topic, to consolidate my learning, after doing some active recall in the lesson and reviewing my notes. Stephen would then mark this homework, and deliver the feedback to me in the lesson, covering whatever questions or material that I didn’t understand or get the marks on. As the time went on, I discovered that this method of answering as many exam style questions as possible was something that worked for me incredibly well, and by the end of GCSEs I had completed a question pack on every topic. Additionally, Stephen doesn’t solely care about how well you do in the Sciences, he wants you to do your best and achieve great results in all your subjects, so when forming the study schedule, it isn’t dedicated to the Sciences being the top of the hierarchy, but instead it is designed so that you spend the most time on the subjects you need the most time on and so forth.
I wouldn’t want to recommend any other tutor for the sciences – Stephen is really incredible at what he does, and he has a lot of experience from being a full-time tutor, but also from teaching A-Level Biology, students of medicine and other courses, as well as being incredibly familiar with each exam board and how to tackle the questions they give you and to know what they want.
Thank you Stephen!“

“Stephen started tutoring my son at the end of Year 10. We were becoming increasingly concerned that he did not have an understanding of the fundamental concepts in this AQA Combined Science GCSE. He started having sessions with Stephen during the summer holidays and has continued throughout Year 11. I cannot tell you how much his understanding and his confidence has improved as a result. Stephen teaches my son remotely on Skype. This works brilliantly because there is no time wasted travelling and they both always have their cameras on so it is just as good as them being in a room together. Although I don’t sit in on any of the sessions, I can hear from my office next door that they are very interactive. During the feedback session I have at the end of each tutoring session, Stephen shares his screen and shows me things they have been working on so I can see there are a lot of visual aids in his teaching, particularly on the experimental work. Stephen sets homework each week which based on past papers and exam questions and gives feedback on that work at the beginning of each session. This has helped my son enormously to get used to the exam techniques required of him and he has gone from scores of 30-40% last summer to regularly scoring 80-90%. Seeing that level of improvement is also motivating him to work harder. Stephen has also been fantastic at helping my son to plan his revision more generally, creating timetables and discussing each week his progress in all subjects. That side of his influence has improved my son’s overall commitment to revision in other subjects as well. I honestly cannot recommend Stephen highly enough and already have him booked in to support my younger son, who starts his GCSE courses in September“.

“During the first session, Dr Lui really connected with our son and made him feel relaxed and at ease. He is very passionate and was amazing at helping to support our son with his Combined Sciences. Our son lost hope, faith and confidence in the Science subjects, despite having used 3 different Science tutors in years 9 and 10. This changed dramatically after we found Dr Lui at the end of year 10. In the first session, Dr Lui quickly identified my son’s weaknesses and tailored his preparation and teaching to suit our son. Lessons were via online and prove to be very effective. We have used face-to-face tutors in the past and Dr Lui’s online lessons were very well planned and executed and by far much more effective than past face-to-face tutors. He is very patient and allowed our son enough time to work things out without jumping in too quickly. At the same time, he is able to explain new and difficult concepts simply and he ensures that our son thoroughly understands each topic. Our son always looked forward to Dr Lui’s lessons and grew in confidence after each lesson. After each topic, Dr Lui would provide tailor made exam questions to delve into our son’s understanding and assess his exam techniques and knowledge of the subject. Dr Lui would provide thorough and constructive feedback after each lesson on ways on how our son can improve. Before using Dr Lui’s tuition service, our son was predicted grade 55 for his Science GCSEs. With Dr Lui’s dedication and support, our son achieved grades 99 for his GCSE Combined sciences. This would not have been achieved without the amazing support from Dr Lui. We have no reservation in recommending Dr Lui, he is a fantastic tutor and very caring person!”

“Our son has been tutored through his triple science IGCSE’s by Dr Stephen over Skype lessons for the past year Dr Stephen is a exceptional tutor, his enthusiasm and passion for teaching is clear to see. He has a gift for teaching and is able to inspire and motivate, my son enjoyed his lessons immensely. Stephen is methodical in his teaching and pace was tailored to our son’s needs. He has an in depth understanding of the syllabus for each science along with thorough knowledge of the exam marking systems. Initially both we were apprehensive about online tuition but Stephens clear communication, organisation and friendly approachable manner instantly put us at ease. The lessons were focused, individually tailored and designed to build confidence in the subject. At the end of each lesson exam based questions were set for homework that were designed to test knowledge and challenge our son. These were always marked in a timely fashion with detailed feedback our son had a clear understanding of where marks were gained and lost. Stephen is a kind and patient tutor, he genuinely cares about the outcomes of his students and was interested in our sons well being both academically and pastorally. He promotes good study habits, the importance of balance between study and other activities. He coaches on exam technique, helping with the creation of study plans and revision timetables and technique. Stephen taught our son skills that are transferable across his other subjects and that can be carried on through his academic life. We are very happy with the tuition son received and do not hesitate in recommending Stephen. Dr Stephen is a gifted tutor, his passion and enthusiasm is evident, he is a positive role model, we feel very blessed that our son benefited from this. Our son achieved 9’s in all 3 sciences“.

“Stephen is a fantastic tutor who helped me get through GCSE from the start of year 11 until exams. A very intelligent and dedicated tutor, the advanced content I struggled with was explained to be in calm and coherent manner, often using visual tools, powerpoints and short videos, enabling me to gain an understanding I did not have from my teachers. My areas of weakness were identified straight away from the initial assessments lesson. Exam questions were provided as homework which I found very useful. I was originally predicted grades 655 at the end of year 10 but with Stephen’s incredible help and support, I am thrilled to say that I have been awarded grade 999 for my Triple Sciences. I cannot thank Stephen enough for his help and I highly recommend him as a tutor. I am now considering sitting A level Chemistry”.

“Stephen has been incredibly helpful and supportive in guiding my daughter towards not only a clear understanding for the subject requirements but also explaining scientific concepts she once found difficult to grasp. Stephen was able to highlight areas of weaknesses straight away from initial assessment and they were addressed immediately. Lessons were by online and were very effective. My daughter had been struggling with Chemistry and Physics immensely and before her sessions she was sitting at a very low 5 for the subject. But after 16 months of tuition with Stephen and thanks to the clear exam techniques, exam practice and insightful approach to tackling tricky experimental questions, my daughter has achieved three grade 9s. Amazingly through Stephen inspiring teaching, my daughter has now decided to sit A level Biology and Chemistry. Thank you so much Stephen for helping my daughter do her very best and work to her full potential, your teaching has been amazing. I have no hesitation in recommending Stephen as a science tutor”.

“I found Stephen to help me with Science GCSE, Biology in particular, and the progress I made is beyond what I expected of myself. Stephen is a very supportive and knowledgeable tutor who helped me improve not only in my subjects but in the way I learnt and revised. Having lessons online was easy and efficient, and the powerpoints that were used to learn from were effective and very clear. Stephen’s method of teaching involved finding the ways in which I learnt best and adapting, for example including more diagrams, images and videos for a visual learner, how his information in his powerpoints were conveyed so that I could understand the concepts better. One of the most valuable things I have taken away during my lessons with Stephen are the study schedules; they helped me to minimise distractions and fit everything I aimed to do into weekly timetables. Furthermore, the homeworks that I received from Stephen after each topic was covered involved exam-style questions that were extremely helpful for practice and consolidation, especially in the lead up to exams. He ensured that I was not just taking in the new information but also understanding it and would come back to a previous topic and test me on the key ideas.
Stephen’s exceptional method of tutoring was apparent from the first session. I am very grateful to him for the things that I have learnt, which I will continue to apply in my next exams and in the future, as well as his impressive dedication to his students and his teaching. Thank you Stephen!”

“What can I say about Stephen, in a panic I asked him to tutor my yr 11 in January of this year. We had been doing tutoring with someone else who did no preparation and was not making a connection with my daughter. My daughter lacked focus and drive to revise even though she wanted to do well in her science exams. Stephen appears to have pulled the rabbit out the hat. We weren’t close enough for in person tuition but Skype has worked really well. He went back to basics, through the syllabus looking for her gaps, helping her see where she needed to learn more. He made her write exam timetables that she had a chance of sticking to. Gave her the confidence to know she can do it and find the time as well as watch tik tok (occasionally). He nurtured her revision skills and let her know despite her dyslexia she could find a way to do it. His lessons for her were thoroughly planned and she came away from them understanding so much more than she did at school. His homework stretched her and reinforced the knowledge and helped her know what was expected. He was really able to connect with her. He genuinely cares about his students and them doing well. He was even flexible around a bereavement in our family and making sure she did not suffer due to it.”Stephen was highly effective in motivating my son to review for his Science GCSEs. The homework provided by Stephen was very useful in preparing my son for the three Sciences. As well as assisting him in learning the subjects. Fingers crossed for the results and her dream of to be able to do one science at a level – we already had big changes from the pre Christmas mocks to the later ones so we are hopeful. Thanks Stephen for your help”.

“Stephen has been a great tutor for my year 11 daughter. She is new to the UK curriculum and has had a lot of work to do to prepare for her GCSEs. What has struck me is how dedicated Stephen is to his students. He provides homework tailored to the topic studied in his lesson comprising a collation of questions from past exams. This is great reinforcement of the lesson as well as being valuable exam practice. My daughter has had tutors before and finds Stephen very engaging and personable. Also, despite some initial reservations, we have found that the online format does not detract from the lesson at all and makes scheduling lessons much easier”.

“Stephen is an exceptional tutor with extensive experience and impressive organizational skills. In addition to his subject matter expertise, he offers valuable guidance on revision, scheduling, and exam techniques that are crucial for success. After every lesson, Stephen provides detailed feedback, highlighting areas of weakness and progress based on a topic-by-topic plan. My daughter, who has dyslexia, began working with Stephen 12 months ago for combined science. Despite her best efforts, her initial class exam results were disappointing, hovering around 4s and 5s from her first year of GCSE. We suspected that the shift to online learning during the Covid period may have contributed to her struggles, given the lack of practical aspects in science classes. Stephen quickly put her at ease and implemented a structured approach to help her catch up. His use of online lessons and homework has been highly effective, and my daughter enjoys working with him so much that she often requests extra time when she encounters challenges. Thanks to Stephen’s expertise and dedication, my daughter’s confidence has grown, and she is now enthusiastic about her progress. We are now aiming for 7s and 8s in her upcoming exams, and she plans to continue studying some science subjects at A-level. Overall, I highly recommend Stephen as an exceptionally professional and effective tutor.”.

“We have found Stephen to be an excellent Science tutor: knowledgeable, reliable, well prepared and friendly. Being an Oxford graduate it is no surprise that he was excellent. We contacted him in May 2021 after our son had achieved grades 4s for his combined GCSE Sciences. Our son has dyslexia and dyspraxia and Stephen was extremely helpful, professional and patient with him. Stephen really connected with our son and made him feel relaxed and at ease. Lessons were weekly via Skype and 2 hours in duration. Even though we were pessimistic about online teaching and we thought our son would lack concentration, Stephen’s tailor made and engaging lessons ensured our son remained focused throughout the 2 hours. Amazingly, after each lesson our son would enthusiastically share about the topics he learnt, something he has never done. Our son confessed to us that with Stephen’s support, he can now understand all the Science topics. Stephen would set exam style questions, which really solidified our son’s learning and he gained a lot of confidence and exam techniques.  Stephen was always prompt with any query and after each lesson provided constructive feedback how he would help our son. Stephen is easily the best teacher we have come across (and we have tried many Science tutors in the past). For the 2022 summer exams, our son achieved grades 9s for his combined GCSE Sciences. We cannot thank Stephen enough for all his hard work, encouragement, amazing support and we recommend him from all our hearts”.

“Stephen is an exceptional tutor. We cannot recommend Stephen enough, he is amazing and incredibility supportive to our daughter. She achieved 6’s in her end of year 10 Triple GCSE Sciences and lacked confidence in the subject. In the first lesson, Stephen was very quick to identify gaps in her learning and knowledge; setting a plan on what needs to be taught. He built a good teaching relationship with her and our daughter feels very comfortable with Stephen and his teaching style. We have valued the way in which his encouragement has given her greater confidence in her own ability to tackle a subject that she has found challenging on occasions. Stephen worked hard to develop both her capability but also enthusiasm for the subject. The sessions were undertaken via online Skype and were always well planned out; always engaging and tailored to our daughter’s learning style. Stephen would encourage our daughter to invest time in completing the homework that he set. After 9 months of tutoring, the results speak for themselves with three 9’s for Triple GCSE Sciences. Thank you so much Stephen”.

“Dr Lui is a kind, patient, supportive and highly professional tutor. I have met many, many tutors over a five-year period seeking help to support my son and Dr Lui stands out as the best one I have ever employed. His lessons are well planned, enjoyable, interesting and relaxed. Dr Lui struck up an instantaneous rapport with my son, who lacked confidence and motivation towards his science GCSE. He not only makes the subject he teaches interesting, he also inspires and motivates my son to do well. Dr Lui was very clear with his explanation and his pace of teaching depends on whether a certain area of a topic was understood or not. He prepared clear Powerpoints for each session followed by sending exam homework that supports the learning and assesses my son’s understanding and exam techniques. He would then go through the homework with my son and explains where mistakes were made and how to improve. As a result of 10 months of very engaging and interactive online lessons with Dr Lui, my son went from predicted grades of 6s to achieving three 9s for his Triples Sciences for this summer’s GCSE exams. I would highly recommend Dr Lui to any students lacking confidence, understanding and motivation”.

As well as assisting him in learning the subjects, Stephen was able to show my son how to manage his time and revise in an efficient way. My son achieved grade 8 in GCSE in all three science subjects. This was 2-3 grades higher for Chemistry and Biology compared to his mocks, which my son took before we started using Stephen.
We would recommend Stephen to anyone looking to significantly improve their GCSE Science scores”.

“For anyone looking for a science tutor I thoroughly recommend Stephen. We found him about the time of the GSCE mock exams when I felt my son could do with a little help getting the 7,6 for double science that he needed. The tuition is on line, Stephen’s approach is to set exam based homework (based on the exam board) and then to go through this in the lessons, this means both content and exam technique is covered. He gives parental feedback too. He is rigorous and challenging but also combines this with humour and empathy. We did this on a weekly basis between mocks and GCSE and my son worked hard, and he achieved 8,8 which was really excellent. I would have no hesitation in contacting Stephen”.

“We signed up with Stephen half way through y10 for my daughter who was struggling with combined science. Stephen carried out a thorough initial assessment for our first session to identify where the gaps in her knowledge were and tailored his tuition based on what my daughter needed. His online session were fantastic, using one-to-one video call but sharing the screen so my daughter could visually see and understand his teachings. Everything was tailored and structured around where she needed help, supplying past paper exam based questions for homework to also work on exam technique. All homework was marked and returned before the next session and Stephen went through all homework to make sure my daughter understood where she was going wrong and how to correct mistakes.
We can’t thank Stephen enough for the work he has done for our daughter, her confidence soured and she discovered a love of science she didn’t know she had!! She progressed from predicted 6s to achieving 9s and is now taking Biology A Level!
Best decision we’ve made so far! Thank you Stephen!”

“In this very challenging year for our daughter especially going through the Covid lock down. She lost a lot of school learning and her confidence for all her subjects and especially for her favourite Science subjects. As a consequence she did very poorly for her end of year 10 exams achieving 555 for Sciences. We embarked the support of Dr Lui and immediately after the first session, our daughter gained the confidence simply on how Dr Lui was going to support her with his teaching methods. Dr Lui quickly assessed our daughter’s learning style and needs and with her built a plan to support her achieve positive results. The uncertainty surrounding her final exams and sixth form choices caused her anxiety. Dr Lui is calm and supportive; he also brings an element of fun into the tutorial, which makes the learning experience more valuable. Initially we were very pessimistic with online teaching but were impressed with Dr Lui’s patience, encouragement and excellent teaching approach. Keeping our daughter engaged, motivated and focused is no small feat and full credit to Dr Lui for keeping our daughter on track. Our daughter always looked forward to her lessons with Dr Lui and after the lesson she often shared what she learnt. Her confidence grew and I really don’t know how our daughter would have gotten through this academic year without Dr Lui so top marks and huge gratitude to him.
As a result of Dr Lui’s continued weekly online lessons and regular exam homework as well as guidance on effective revision methods, techniques and help create study schedules, our daughter achieved all 9s for her Science GCSE subjects. She also achieved 8s for her other subjects which we strongly felt Dr Lui’s guidance and study schedule helped. All these points above and many more are why Dr Lui is a great tutor! Thank you so much Dr Lui!!!”

“Stephen is an enthusiastic and exceptional tutor who does much to reassure anxious parents whose daughter has lost her zest for Sciences. He has formidable knowledge within his subject field and in skills such as organisation, time management, exam techniques and helped create study schedules that actually work. Emma has found Stephen to be very friendly, approachable and very helpful. His communication is excellent and she really enjoyed his sessions. We were very apprehensive with online tutoring but have been pleasantly surprised on the effectiveness. He prepares for each session in advance, with the lessons always starting on time. He is friendly, understanding, and easy to get on with. Emma is generally shy with new people; I appreciate Stephen’s ability to make one feel at ease in a conversation. He makes it okay to make mistakes, which has proven to be very effective at encouraging Emma to be more active than in class or with other tutors we have had. Stephen lets you feel like you are perfectly capable of doing what you need to. He also adapts to his tutee’s needs and preferences in things like the pace at which you go through the material, level of detail you go into and how much homework you want to have, if any. As our daughter has processing issues, it makes it difficult to write, especially while talking. Stephen makes sure to pause to ensure Emma understands concepts before proceeding and she makes very clear revision notes during the lesson. He is patient and never rushes our daughter, only continuing when she says she is ready to move on. Stephen gives thorough feedback with constructive criticism and attention to detail as well as much-needed praise on strong points of your response. It is clear that Stephen puts a lot of effort into his work, and is dedicated to helping his students, offering to assist with any questions or difficulties you may have between sessions. What I especially like about Stephen is that he challenges and encourages our daughter to push limits.
Before we started utilising Stephen’s support, for her end of year 10 school exams, Emma achieved 655 for his Triple Science GCSE. After 10 months of excellent tuition with Stephen, Emma has achieved an amazing 999 for her Sciences. We highly recommend Stephen for his tremendous guidance, excellent teaching approach and care. Thank you so much Stephen!”.

“Stephen is an amazing highly experienced and knowledge tutor who generally cares about how the student is doing in all subjects. He has helped my son immensely with explaining and building my son’s understanding of challenging scientific concepts. He also shows and teaches how to balance and utilise time effectively by revising, making study effective schedules and assist with exam techniques. Even though online learning presents many challenges compared to face-to-face learning, Stephen puts in the effort to make the lesson feel like face-to-face learning. Stephen uses real-life situations to explain concepts and how things work including making animations to demonstrate how something works, which I think, is going the extra mile. Stephen sets a decent amount of homework that strongly relates to what has been learned in the lesson and at school to help my son work on answering exam styled questions, which better prepares him for my assessments. Stephen started tutoring my son 11 months ago and ever since then, my son has overall felt more confident with assessments. He has given him many exam styled questions and has told him how to improve his answers to better fit an examiner’s requirements to get higher marks which have gotten him higher marks.
Stephen is an excellent tutor and a lovely person. He is very professional and communication and feedback after each lesson is very prompt. My son received three 9 grades for his GCSE Biology, Chemistry and Physics and we are over the moon. We cannot thank Stephen enough for all his guidance and hard working”.

“I found Dr Lui very adaptable and patient in teaching my son. My son has learned so much with Dr Lui not only teaching difficult concepts but also with helping how to revise, making study schedules and exam techniques. He paces each lesson just right so you feel challenged but not overwhelmed. He has simplified complex topics and made them understandable and provides excellent exam based homework which supports the learning. Initially I was hesitant about online learning but he made my son comfortable and the lessons are very engaging so my son always looked forward to the lessons. He explains the different concepts in a manner that my son can understand. He offers a lot of support to my son to make him feel valued. He is motivated, qualified and knowledgeable and speaks professionally.
My son was originally predicted grade 777 for Triple Science GCSEs but had slipped behind in his end of year 10 exams achieving 665. Dr Lui is well organised with a wealth of experience, he quickly developed a connection and was instrumental in getting my son back on track. As a result my son has surpassed his predicted grade and achieved an amazing grade 999 for his Triple Science GCSEs. We thank Dr Lui so much for all his patience, hard work and guidance for helping our son achieve these grades. I also feel he has contributed immensely with helping our son achieve high grades in other subjects due to the study schedules and weekly advice and encouraging words to my son. I highly recommend Dr Lui to any parent who is looking for a very knowledgeable, genuine and caring tutor”.

“Thanks to Stephen, Sciences are finally making some sense and are actually enjoyable for my son ! After multiple unsuccessful interviews with local tutors, we were lucky enough to come across Stephen and honestly he doesn’t disappoint. My son had an immediate liking to Stephen and his personality, and directly after the initial interview/meeting we knew he was the man for us to assist our son in his study and preparation for the upcoming exams. After the first lesson, being an initial discussion and review with my son of his current knowledge, Stephen was able to better understand the weaker topics vs those he had more strength in knowledge on and commenced with the weaker core topics first. He reviewed the entire exam syllabus of core topics and secondary topics, with emphasis on those core topics and moving onto the secondary. Stephen moves through onto the next topic, only once my son has a good grasp of the current topic being learnt. Over the past lessons with Stephen, it has become very clear what a huge learning gap there is for us between a classroom teaching style vs a one on one private lesson, and I only wish that we had have sourced him sooner. Although a 2-hour lesson appeared daunting at the time, Stephen has managed to keep my son fully engaged for each of the lessons, regardless of the topic. After each lesson my son is given exam based homework, which reiterates the topics and subject matters covered within the lesson, to be completed prior to the following lesson. The homework is marked and then discussed during the next scheduled lesson, in such a way that he encourages my son to answer and think without just simply providing him the answers. They review the hits and misses and discuss any misunderstandings from each question. Reinforcing the previous works learning, has really assisted with my sons retained knowledge, having that repeat-repeat type of method has been of great benefit. Stephen updates me with my sons progress after every single lesson in a detailed manner, either online or through mail. His knowledge, his passion and his delivery to my son’s lessons and homework has surpassed my expectation. The commitment, support and persistence of Stephen hasn’t faulted over the many lessons already completed. Nor has never judged my son for the level (grade) at which he is currently achieving, he only encourages him more to strive and to achieve in a positive manner, as if my son was his only student and his only focus. Overall, regardless of the outcome of the exams, the additional knowledge and confidence that Stephen has instilled in my son heading into the iGCSE exams, has had such a positive effect, it is invaluable. I highly recommend Stephen to any level of student studying Sciences”.

“A FANTASTIC TUTOR!!
Dr Stephen has been tutoring my son for iGCSE Triple Science for the last few months and I can honestly say that my son’s confidence level has increased several-fold. Before we started with Dr Stephen, my son was achieving 3s and 4s. However after a few months of Dr Stephen’s support, care and dedication, his grades have shot up to grades 7s and 8s. Already, his teachers are impressed with his remarkable progress and have predicted a high grade for him. I have been impressed with Dr Stephen`s professionalism, he very competent in his teaching skills, methods and knowledge and this has positively rubbed on my son. Dr Stephen has been very focused with my son on exam techniques and skills to ensure he can score highly in any setting. I am very comfortable recommending Dr Stephen to any student/parent and he is worth every penny”.

“Dr Lui is a first-class tutor and has been a godsend for our son. After achieving very poor exam grades for his year 10 school triple science exams, our son had almost given up in the sciences. We then found the amazing Dr Lui and feel very blessed to have found a reliable, honest and genuinely caring tutor to support our son. He has been tutoring our son for the past few months and our son’s interest and confidence has remarkably grown, so much so our son feels confident that he will achieve three grade 9s for his Science GCSE next year. The lessons are online for 2 hours and as the lessons are very engaging, my son remains focused and enjoys his lessons. Dr Lui’s knowledge of his subject and exam technique is second to none. His approach to explaining Science concepts to our son is excellent and he will adjust his teaching style to how fast our son grasps each subject. He always provides thorough feedback after each lesson and provides exam homework to encourage learning outside the tuition lessons. Dr Lui is extremely thorough and well prepared and has helped our son prepare all the groundwork. We cannot thank Dr Lui enough for his time and dedication – it is very much appreciated”.

“AN EXCEPTIONAL TUTOR!!
Online lessons with Stephen in preparation for our daughter’s A level Biology exams next year are going extremely well!! My daughter has been lacking confidence in Biology in the middle of year 12 (even though she achieved 3 grade 9s in her GCSE sciences and five grade 9s and two grades 8s in other subjects). Stephen’s very caring, reassuring, calm and methodical approach was everything she needed to build confidence and competence in this subject. He is an extremely helpful, reliable and an outstanding tutor. He provides my daughter with comprehensive revision notes followed by exposing her to examination questions. This has enabled our daughter to not only build her confidence but has contributed to improving her class test results. Our daughter now believes that with the invaluable support of Stephen and her continued hard work, she will achieve a grade A or A star for her Biology. Stephen is clearly a dedicated, hard working and knowledgeable tutor. He offers excellent and clear feedback after each lesson and we are very glad we found him and recommend him unreservedly. Thank you so much once again Stephen!”.

“Stephen is really helping my daughter with her GCSE Biology and Chemistry study. My daughter was really lacking in confidence in her knowledge of the subjects and in particular how to prepare for the exams. Stephen is guiding her through the topics, encouraging her and explaining the relevance of each aspect to increase her understanding. He is exceptionally knowledgeable in all sciences and due to his deep understanding is able to portray the facts comprehensively. Under his tutelage her confidence and understanding of the subject has increased significantly. This has also been reflected in her grades – in her GCSE result she achieved 9 both in Biology and Chemistry. I heartedly recommend him as an excellent tutor. Very happy and looking forward to book him now for my younger daughter too”.

“Dr Lui is a very talented and vastly knowledgeable Science tutor. I have been with Dr Lui for several months now and his lessons are extremely well planned and well organised and tailored to my personality and needs. At first, I was very sceptical with online lessons but he lessons are very engaging to address my weakness. I have attended many other classes in the past where you just read from a textbook but Dr Lui’s lessons are very interactive and he creates his own lesson plans. During the lessons, he asks questions which gets me to think and respond which is both effective and promotes faster learning. He is always patient, always allows me to ask any question and keen to help. He sets me homework that consists solely of exam questions which helps build my knowledge and he gives me so many tips on exam techniques, effective study methods and creating study schedule. As a result of Dr Lui’s support and genuine care, my confidence and test grades in the Sciences has greatly improved. I use to be the bottom of my Science class but now I am the top three of my Science classes. I am so happy to have found Dr Lui and would highly recommend him to any student. My parents are always so happy with the support and care Dr Lui provides me and are extremely grateful for his help”.

 “Stephen is a very inspirational and dedicated tutor. We have used many tutors in the past and by far, Stephen is the best tutor we have ever used. He is professional, extremely knowledgeable and cares for the interest and development of his students. My son has been struggling with his Sciences GCSE and lacked motivation. In a short space of time and with quite an intense number of summer online sessions, I have watched my son go from unconfident and about to give up in his Sciences to so confident wanting to consider studying Biology and Chemistry for A levels. My son has said Stephen is by far one of the best teachers he has ever had and looks forwards to his lessons. Through his interactive PowerPoint lessons that are tailor made for my son, Stephen has without a doubt increased my son’s knowledge, confidence and understanding of the Sciences. Stephen provides very clear and detailed notes complimented with comprehensive exam questions to test understanding and exam techniques. He provides clear instructions on how to study and helps with make effective study schedules. He is a very experienced, thorough and organised tutor and I cannot recommend Stephen highly enough. We will be asking Stephen to help our daughter when it’s her turn”.

“Stephen is an outstanding tutor and made an amazing positive impact on my daughter’s A level Biology. His lessons are online and we were very impressed on how effective the lessons have been. My daughter was achieving grade Cs and Ds for her school’s end of topic tests but with the support of Stephen her confidence, understanding and application to exam questions excelled in a matter of weeks. Stephen is very committed, professional, caring and very patient tutor. He thoroughly covers topics and provides very detailed revision notes and clearly explains challenging concepts, after which he provides an extensive amount of exam questions. He gives us feedbacks after each lesson to kept us in the loop understanding our son’s progress.
With the support of Stephen, my daughter achieved A star for her A level Biology and consequently has been offered a place at University of Oxford. My daughter could not have achieved this without Stephen excellent support and care. It has been a pleasure to work with him and we couldn’t recommend him more. Thank you so much Stephen”.

 “We were extremely happy with the tuition that Stephen provided for our son for GCSE triple science.  Stephen was very quick to identify the topics that our son needed help and structured each lessons accordingly. The online lessons were very effective even providing practicals that were missed because of COVID.  Stephen provides plenty of exam based homework and works to an organised study schedule providing excellent feed back at the end of each class. Stephen really does care about his tutees he taught our son life long skills on being organised and how to prepare for exams.
Our son received his GCSE result today and achieved 9’s for Chemistry, Biology and Physics, we are extremely proud. Thank you Stephen”.

“My daughter was at a loss as to which area of research to focus on for her research project. However, after just one session, Dr Lui was able to provide clear and invaluable guidance for my daughter to move forward on her project. He definitely helped my daughter to focus much better on completing her project with his patient encouragement and insightful response to questions posed to him. Although my daughter had only 2 online sessions with Dr Lui, he was readily reachable via email and always responded promptly. Even though the sessions were online, they were just as effective as face-to-face tutoring.  Dr Lui is very knowledgeable in his chosen field. I highly recommend Dr Lui”.

“Dr Stephen helped my son to prepare for biology/chemistry/physics iGCSE exams through weekly Zoom sessions. I feel that the online format was in no way inferior to in-person tutoring. He is not only teaching the subject material to the kids, he also provides study schedule/ study techniques which will be important for them even during university years. His method of tuition is exam based, providing homework which he marks, subsequently discussing to learn from the mistakes made. It is highly effective in finding the gaps your child might have in school. He provides continuous feedback to the parent as well about the progress he is making with the tutee. I can highly recommend him and I consider his service a long time investment in my son’s academic future”

“My son is bright expecting to get 9s in Sciences, however, in his AP1 exams at the end of November 2020 in Yr11 he got 5 and 6s in sciences which were the results he received before the first lockdown in March 2020. He needed urgent help to catch up with the work he missed and neglected during the pandemic. It was an emergency situation especially since my son was also facing 6th form college exams in January prior to GCSEs.
Just before Christmas my son had his first online session with Stephen. He first went through the syllabus to check my son’s weaknesses and strength, his way of learning, even his character. And then he planned a personalised schedule for him and used it to work through the topics that required more work. This structured plan was very effective and efficient that 5 2-hour lessons were just enough to cover the topics he was weaker at and helped him get ready for the college entrance exam. Thanks to him, my son passed the exam! Stephen really knows the areas where my son needs the most help and works systematically and methodically through them. His enthusiasm on the subjects also helps my son to hold to his interest and concentration throughout the lessons. His explanation on each topic is clear, thorough and well-presented with personally made power-points. After each lesson, he gives exam style homework which is then marked thoroughly identifying mistakes, weaknesses and potential achievements. After each session he also gives me feedback, which greatly helps me understand what was taught and where more attention is needed. Stephen is a professional and excellent tutor who not only taught my son with his vast knowledge on sciences but also has a genuine heart and interest in the development of him. He gave a study schedule to help him overcome demotivation under the lockdown and it was amazing how much he was encouraged to follow the schedule and benefited from it. His online sessions are extremely efficient and productive. As GCSEs are cancelled this year, my son will not be sitting his exams. Yet, we are very happy to continue the sessions as he will embark A-level studies in sciences. I highly recommend him. He is a brilliant tutor with years of experience, genuine passion on education and personal interest in his students”.

“Our son was struggling in all three Sciences and we reached out to Stephen in the Autumn term of Year 11. We had not tried remote learning before, and had some reservations, but it is has proved to be both efficient and effective. Stephen took great care to understand from the outset which were the areas where our son needed most support, working methodically through each topic of his exam syllabus to develop a lesson plan. At the beginning, our son was of the view that he “couldn’t do” science; Stephen has succeeded in changing that around, building his self-confidence and instilling a “can do” frame of mind.
Although we have not been able to complete all we set out to do – because COVID-19 means that GCSE exams are now cancelled – we are optimistic that an assessment of our son’s performance will take into account the improvement in his grades over the past six months. Stephen delivered well-planned lessons, with engaging slides to help aid learning and understanding. This was followed up with targeted homework with practice questions on the topics studied. Stephen gave thorough feedback after each tutorial and also took a real interest in our son’s performance across all his subjects and his overall wellbeing, which I very much appreciated. Beyond the support he gave in Science, I feel that Stephen has helped equip our son with study skills that will help him through his A level studies and beyond.
I would not hesitate in recommending Stephen”.

     “I can highly recommend Stephen’s lessons. My son has made huge improvements. Stephen is very methodical in his approach. He checks that each topic has been learnt well, by giving exam based homework, before moving on to the next topic, making sure that there are no gaps in my son’s knowledge. It is obvious that Stephen loves teaching and cares for his students, he knows when to encourage them and when to be firm. As a parent I’m really happy with the feedback too, after each lesson Stephen will let me know the outcome and what is the next target. I was dubious about having lessons online, but I was pleasantly surprised!”

If there is something that you don’t understand, he will fill in your weak spots and ensure that you have a solid understanding of the basics, helping to further develop your scientific knowledge and exam technique. He is genuinely dedicated to your getting good grades and is invested in your journey, which really helps motivate you to do his homework, revise more efficiently and ultimately do the best you can in the final exams!”

“My wife engaged the service of Stephen to assist with home tutorials for my daughter who was studying for her GCSEs as she needed help with physics, chemistry and biology.  Stephen really seemed to know what he was talking about and he offered great pointers and suggestions on how to answer the questions and look at the questions differently to get the answer. My daughter responded well to his teaching method, which included slide shows on a laptop and assignments after each session. He would follow up each session with a discussion with either myself or my wife to keep us updated on various aspects of the session and he would highlight our daughter’s strengths and weaknesses. For a period Stephen tutored my daughter via Skype due to logistical issues and this method of tutoring was just as effective as his home tutoring. What was evident was the passion that Stephen showed in ensuring my daughter not only achieved pass grades but also excelled in her exams which was the case when her GCSE results were released on 22nd August 2019.  All the hard work put in by Stephen had come to fruition with my daughter attaining an A star and A in Combined science. This has allowed my daughter to gain entry into a Grammar School, which she is very much looking forward to. I have recommended Stephen to other family members based on the good work he did with my daughter”.

“Stephen came on board about 4 months before Lucy’s iGCSEs. She was struggling with many of the topics, lacked some of the basic knowledge and had lost confidence. Stephen devised a comprehensive plan with Lucy to ensure that the various syllabus were covered (through tutorials and homework) but with a focus on the important topics. The tuition was given via Skype which was extremely effective. Stephen has prepared all his lessons, relevant slides and it’s clearly a method that works really well. Exam based homework was set and marked promptly and discussed in the next tutorial. Stephen encouraged Lucy to work hard but also gave her exam techniques and tips that covered her broader subject areas. Stephen clearly cares about his tutees and devotes a lot of time to getting the best out of them. He looks at the student in the round to ensure his tutorials meet their learning style. It really works.
From a low base Lucy achieved 3 9’s in her sciences. We would never have believed that was possible 6 months before. We are delighted with Stephens work with Lucy and highly recommend him”.

“I would highly recommend Dr Stephen Lui after tutoring my son for GCSE triple science. We made contact in November to give support and guidance running up to the mocks at Christmas and the exams in June. He has a very professional approach to his tutoring, initially taking time to assess the needs of the student and subsequently tailoring his teaching style to accommodate what is required. Stephen helped my son focus, providing support for time tables and working out the gaps in his knowledge. The sessions were methodical marking topics off of the curriculum giving a sense of achievement. Exam Based homework was set after each session to assess the knowledge gained.

 “Stephen is an outstanding tutor. He is meticulously organised and his online sessions are extremely efficient, focused and highly productive. Stephen has been tutoring my son, who missed virtually a whole academic year due to illness, for all 3 sciences at GCSE level. Through his commitment and planning, Stephen has managed to help our son catch up on all the missed work and enable him to enjoy all the sciences and his lessons at school, and start to excel in some elements. Stephen regularly sets exam based homework and this helps our son to become familiar and confident with how to properly answer questions and to score the highest marks possible. Our son will be sitting his GCSEs this year, with the rest of his year group – without Stephens dedicated tutoring and mentoring, this would never have been possible. We are very grateful for all the ongoing help Stephen gives to our son, and also the regular feedback he gives to me, to help me understand where more support or attention is needed.

“One of my original concerns was how effective online tuition could be. With Stephen that wasn’t an issue. Aside from his use of various tools to share screens etc the fact there was no travelling meant that more time could be spent on tuition and studying. In addition, having the tuition in my son’s place of study was re-in forcing the environment. Stephen’s methods clearly worked with my son because he was probably the “reluctant student” having done little in year 10 and lacking in self-belief. Stephen’s strict views on the benefits of reaching one’s potential, his methodological review of weak areas and the syllabus and then exam based homework trained my son properly for the exams. The high standards of marking (higher than his Grammar School) meant that in the tough exams, I am sure Stephen’s techniques gained him vital extra marks. Stephen’s ability to tell him off when needed and yet have a laugh with him all in the same lesson was a reflection of how much my son respected Stephen and wanted to do well for Stephen and himself.
The predicted grades in June last year were 4 biology, 6 Chemistry and 7 Physics. He obtained 7,8,8 which was very pleasing. The more important part however was how Stephen instilled the need to study across the board and apply techniques to all subjects. My son was predicted 42 points as late as March 18 and achieved 56 points. Some of that were his own efforts increasing, some were a great last minute English tutor and a little was me helping in Maths. But without Stephen changing my son’s attitude, we would not have been so happy with the overall results. Many thanks again for all of your help Stephen and I hope your future students realise what a great asset you are for them”.

Stephen set him a few test papers and identified his strengths and weaknesses and then constructed a tailor made programme. Each week Stephen taught a key area then set Thomas exam questions for him to do as home work. Where necessary Stephen added extra lessons or extra homework to make sure Tom got to the highest standard on each area. All the lessons were delivered over Skype which can have its challenges but despite this Tom found it fun and engaging and the results speak for themselves. Stephen is excellent. I recommend him wholeheartedly”.

Over a number of months, Stephen patiently taught, encouraged and motivated her and her knowledge and understanding of the science topics improved immensely, as did her confidence. With a very detailed knowledge of all the topics in the exam board syllabus, Stephen’s approach is impressively thorough. He identifies strengths and weaknesses, adapts his lessons to the needs of his tutees and sets relevant, exam based homework. His advice and encouragement had a positive impact on my daughter’s approach to all her GCSE studies and Stephen’s help in creating revision timetables was very valuable. He is friendly and approachable and my daughter and I recommend him very highly.”

“We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Dr Stephen for our daughter who is currently studying for her iGCSE and was completely lost and demoralised a the start of her tutoring – he is a dedicated tutor in all three sciences. Science does not come easily to our daughter. Lesson plans are detailed well thought out and planned and based on a wealth of knowledge and experience. To be able to Skype was something new to us, and has proved to be an amazing tool – no wasted time driving back and forth from a tutor. There is no doubt, Dr Stephen is truly gifted with the ability to teach. He has supported our daughter not only academically, but in organising her time/revision and learning plans across the board. He is committed, genuinely interested in his pupils and invested. We would not hesitate for a moment in recommending Dr Stephen to any tutee.

“We first contacted Stephen in January of this year, because the school was providing inadequate teaching that left my daughter with a sketchy knowledge of Biology and Chemistry. As her GCSEs were imminent, we felt compelled to find a tutor. Stephen works in an extremely organised manner, with the initial meeting used to discover exactly which topics required more work. From there, he devised a personalised learning and revision plan, which was very helpful. They use this plan to work through the topics each week. It really helps to have a structured plan; I think it prevents exam panic.Homework is usually a past GCSE paper, which I feel ensures exposure to different types of questions from across all topics. Thus, any knowledge can be tested with weaknesses identified and worked through.I feel that Stephen has helped my daughter regain her confidence in her upcoming Biology and Chemistry GCSEs. No mean feat, given where she was in January. The turnaround in a few short months is remarkable. He is a very attentive and professional tutor, who I feel genuinely cares for his students. Absolutely worth every penny!”

“Dr Stephen has been tutoring my daughter in Physics, Chemistry and Biology since last July in preparation for her forthcoming GCSEs. Stephen is incredibly thorough and professional in the way he conducts every session. He constantly assesses my daughters learning to ensure that there are no gaps in her knowledge. He achieves this through exam based homework and verbal questioning. He has a fantastic knowledge of the curriculum for each subject and structures each lesson according to the needs of the tutee. His method of tuition is interesting and stimulating and he goes to great lengths to prepare each lesson. My daughter has gained in confidence in the sciences but also in other subjects as Stephen’s system of note taking, revision and consolidation of learning can be applied to any subject. I have no hesitation in recommending Dr Stephen to anyone looking for a Science Tutor”.

“Stephen started tutoring me in October when I was achieving C’s and B’s in all three science’s! Whilst we started with home visits and Skype sessions, we ended up only using Skype as I found it just as effective and much easier. He uses PowerPoints to provide notes for your weak topics, which are very clear and precise. He makes you feel very comfortable asking any questions and provides over view quizzes and  homework’s on topic which you struggle with. I found his methods very effective and ended up with an A star and 2B’s by January and 3 A stars in my summer GCSE’s. Not only does he help you understand the sciences, but he helps you enjoy them, I have now chosen to do Chemistry at A-level, which was initially one of my worst subjects”.

(iGCSE Edexcel Triple Science) Oct 2017

“I came to Stephen in the September of my year 11 because at the end of the year 10 mocks I got a B, C and D in the sciences. I hated the sciences ever since I was young because I didn’t find them interesting and always struggled. Thanks to Stephen’s teaching style and support, one year later in the real iGCSE’s I got A* in all three, an overall double A* for double science. Although I did work extremely hard I could not have done it without Stephen as, before him, I didn’t even know the basics of science. I found that his teaching style suited me very well. Although, at first I was sceptical of the Skype lessons, I soon realised they were extremely helpful and had just the same effect as him coming to my house. Stephen taught me in a manner that allowed me to make informative notes and that I could easily revise from. I actually didn’t use my school notes and instead purely revised from the notes I made in Stephen’s lessons. The homework Stephen set was also really helpful as it prepares you for the structure and types of questions in a GCSE exam. Going through the homework helped me see my mistakes and he taught me what the examiners are looking for, which I think is the main thing that allowed me to do so well. Stephen also helped me find the best way for me to revise, something I had always struggled with. I now know how I should revise and I will continue to revise this way throughout my A-levels and University experience.Stephen is an extremely good teacher but he is also very kind person and genuinely cared about me. I hated the sciences but yet I enjoyed his lessons as they were not boring and he made it informative and interesting. My final year of sciences I enjoyed purely because of him as he helped me understand it and I could finally follow what was going on in my science lessons at school. At one point I even considered taking Chemistry A-level as I enjoyed learning the material with him so much, even though I got a D in the GCSE mock exam.Overall he made the entire process a lot less stressful and has helped me way beyond my GCSE’s sciences with my revision technique”.

 “I have had a few tutors over the course of both primary and secondary school as I was originally quite weak in my sciences. Stephen is without a doubt the best of all of the tutors I have had. He has a very carefully personalised tuition approach which helped my learning dramatically, and I would gladly recommend his help to anyone. I went from two B’s and an A to 2 A stars and an A. I was really pleased with the change in grade and I believe that I could have gotten the third A star if I had pushed myself that little bit more. Stephen is a brilliant motivational tutor and has boosted both my confidence and my ability to focus and learn. He is a devoted tutor who cares about his students. I could not find of a better educational role model if I tried”.

“My son, now in year 11 at Alleyn’s school, has been tutored by Dr Stephen Lui for the last 12 months. During this time he has undertaken two hour weekly tutorial lessons for his GCSE triple science subjects, namely, Physics, Chemistry and Biology.Stephen’s approach is extremely forensic in that he undertook an initial audit of my son’s understanding and application of his subject knowledge of the entire exam syllabus in order to decide what areas required additional focus. His lessons are well structured and he provides clear feedback to parents on what subjects have been covered, homework set and the results of previous homework. In addition, Stephen has provided my son with the tools and revision techniques that have been applied to not just his science subjects but more broadly to all his other GCSE subjects.I have no hesitation in recommending Stephen to you and I am sure my son’s final science grades will be enhanced by all the motivational and focused tutoring that Stephen has provided”.
Updated Review: “My son achieved double A star and an A for his Triple sciences. Truly amazing and thank you so much Stephen”.

“Stephen has been my tutor for about six months or more, and I can honestly say that he is a better science teacher than the ones i have in my school. He teaches using power points (that he makes himself). I find his power points easy to learn and take notes from, because you can easily distinguish the important key words when writing your notes. Stephen is always willing to explain a topic as many times as it takes for you to understand and goes through topics in an order that makes the work more understandable and that is different from my school. We always start the lessons with a recap and end with an enjoyable quiz based on what we’ve learnt. At the end of every lesson I’m given an exam based homework to complete for homework, then in our next lesson we go through my mistakes and I’m given tips on how to improve to pick up extra marks. Stephen expects A*`s from all his tutees, because he knows they have the potential to do well if they listen to his advice”.

“We approached Stephen to tutor our daughter in October 2016 after he was recommended by a friend. Our daughter is in her GCSE year at school and was struggling with her 3 sciences and a lack of confidence.She had an initial meeting with Stephen where he went though her books and taking each science at a time, went through all the topics to see where her strengths and weakness’s were.  From there, the weaker topics were highlighted. Stephen lessons are structured and well planned.  All topics are covered thoroughly, followed by homework. Due to our location, most of our daughter’s lessons are on Skype, which work really well.  Probably 1 in every 4/5 Skype lessons is at our friends house. Stephen is very organised.  Lessons are arranged in advance and work to be covered is discussed at the end of each session. A roundup of what has been covered during the lesson is also discussed.Our objective was to increase our daughter’s confidence and knowledge with her 3 sciences. Throughout the tutoring process, Stephen has helped her with revision scheduling and notes.  The benefits of this have already shown though in her mock exams, across all her subjects. Her grades have all bumped up, even achieving an A* in her Chemistry. We are very pleased with our daughters progress and would not have any hesitation is recommending Stephen for tutoring”.

“Stephen has been an excellent and motivational tutor for our son, for GCSE science. He tutors him mainly via Skype with the occasional face to face session and we have been impressed how effective the former method has been. Stephen has proved fabulous at working on and improving the weaker topics. He sets regular homework and marks it promptly. One of the best things from our perspective is the constructive feedback that Stephen provides at the end of each session, often spending a significant amount of time on Skype or in person to run through the topics covered and highlighting any areas requiring additional attention. We would strongly recommend Stephen”.

   “I highly recommend Stephen Lui as a private tutor of all three Sciences. Stephen has been assisting and supporting my son Luca who is currently in Year 11 since Autumn 2015. He is a driven, organized teacher who develops inspiring relationships with his students”.Stephen has a great rapport with Luca and has helped him to gain confidence and knowledge in all three Sciences. Stephen is extraordinary committed to his role, all evident in his carefully prepared and individually tailored lesson plans. Luca was very demotivated and was under-achieving in the Sciences when Stephen came on board. In the past year, Stephen has worked hard to motivate Luca and has enabled him to achieve highly and take pride in his work. Stephen has given Luca structured weekly home works, which have helped Luca to put into practice all that he has covered in his tutor sessions with Stephen. In addition, Stephen has helped Luca to improve his note taking and organizational skills and has encouraged Luca to learn to reinforce all his notes progressively, so that his revision before the summer GCSEs will be less panicked and more methodical.When we first sought Stephen’s help, Luca was aiming at best for a B grade in Biology and C/D grades in Chemistry and Physics at iGCSE. Luca has recently had his mock iGCSE exams and as a direct result of Stephen’s support, he achieved an A* in Biology and high A grades in Chemistry and Physics. There is no reason in the summer why Luca won’t achieve A* in all 3 Sciences thanks to Stephen’s tireless input.Stephen accomplishes all these tasks with great initiation and with a positive attitude. I recommend Stephen without reservation”.

 “Our daughter struggled with science subjects at school and with forthcoming GCSE’s we were concerned about this. Stephen has been through the topics she found most challenging and has explained these to her in a clear and engaging way. The lessons have been via Skype and this has worked well for us. The homework he sets is based on past papers and reinforces what he has taught. Stephen provides structure and guidance, useful not only with the subjects he teaches but other subjects too. We have been extremely pleased with what he has done for our daughter and his feedback/communication with us too”.

“Stephen’s method of teaching is also extremely encouraging. He teaches in a way that you understand and are also not afraid to question anything. Stephen also developed a friendly, relaxed relationship with Shakeel and I. This was extremely helpful as it definitely gave me something to look forward to as every lesson i knew i would enjoy myself as well learn something new. Also, Stephen understands us teenagers as he acknowledges studying isn’t the first thing we’d like to do. To overcome this, Stephen adds things to the lesson to make them more fun, such as a league table which counts up the scores of homework between members of the group and the winner at the end will win a prize at the expense of the other members of the group, which would have to be decided on and agreed to.I had both 1 to 1 and group tuition sessions, which were both marvellous but the group session was enjoyable because i had a peer to compare my progress with and it also landed an element of friendly competition. This was essential as throughout the stressful exam period, it was relaxing to enjoy lessons as well as have the massive encouragement from Stephen, too.On top of this, Stephen was also extremely well organised and supportive. He would always have lesson plans with him as well as homework exam papers. Stephen also went through the trouble of finding us textbooks at discounted prices and did everything he could to help and support us.Before starting tuition with Stephen, i had never thought i’d find interest in science, however i came to realise i was good at it and now i take a huge interest in aspects of the scientific world. Personally, i learnt a lot from Stephen in all things, from science to personal traits to facts about many things worldwide. I should hope your son/daughter can also learn as much from Stephen”.

Stephen was extremely supportive and accommodating, ensuring he covered and thoroughly helped my daughter in any topics she may have been struggling in. He would set homework for her to complete after getting through each topic and made sure to go over this at the beginning of the next lesson and go through any mistakes. He is an extremely patient and understanding tutor and I would definitely recommend him”.

  “I thoroughly recommend Dr Stephen Lui and yes, he is worth every penny. He is 100% professional competent and trustworthy. He tutored my boys in GCSE science with an approach and expectation of them achieving nothing below A`s. He intensely supported their individual emotional and educational needs and this built their confidence in other academic subjects.Dr Lui always presents timetabled tests and homework after every session, and gives detailed feedback. He really cares about his tutees and has great knowledge on various academic curriculum. I have already secured my boys tutoring for their A level. As a parent he’d always inform you about their progression strength and weaknesses. A very good tutor and mentor”.

 “Dr. Stephen Lui has been tutoring my son Giulio for GCSE Science since January 2016. What follows below is an overview of Stephen’s professionalism & amazing teaching strengths which have proven his capabilities in personal tutoring.Professionalism – Stephen applies the highest level of professionalism when teaching his students, who very much benefit in learning not only the substance of the subjects but also absorb personal development skills from him.Quality of teaching – Stephen has been simply astounding in raising students’ interest and learning capacity by applying his teaching methods to the fullest. Key elements to be appreciated and valued are:- He ensures that students fully comprehend topics and by doing so, learn to apply principles rather than just memorise facts. This goes a long way in instilling a full understanding of what Stephen teaches them.- Stephen takes a very personal interest in his students, all aimed at maximising their capabilities by testing their capacity to the fullest. He derives full satisfaction in seeing them do their level best.- Doing the above motivates his students to reciprocate and want to do well on a personal level, not just for the sake of passing exams.Teaching methods – Stephen is very organised and methodical, displaying excellent teaching skills. The students learn from Stephen organisational and focus skills, maximising the use of revision time effectively. He consults students on areas where they need the most help and plans a work schedule accordingly, involving detailed explanations and practical work (test questions), which assists greatly in exam preparation. He is very prompt in providing good feedback to parents on the student’s progress and areas of attention where necessary. This is extremely helpful for parents in guiding the children in between lessons. Stephen’s comprehension and result-orientated approach is second to none. Stephen has a very pleasant disposition and makes the effort to develop a professional and respectful friendship with his students which gives them full confidence in him. He is also very considerate in taking the students’ needs into account. Giulio was at D and U levels for his Sciences prior to Stephen tutoring him. Within a short timeframe of a few weeks, Giulio was attaining As in the work Stephen set for him. From being a despondent Science student, Stephen has succeeded in drawing upon Giulio’s abilities and build his confidence in the subject areas. Giulio so looks forward to and very much enjoys his sessions with Stephen. I would highly recommend Stephen to anyone who feels their child needs extra academic assistance with Sciences at any level”.

“Taking Stephen on as a tutor for Michael has been one of the best decisions we have made for his academics. Before Stephen, Michael did not like physics and found it challenging, but since beginning with Stephen, Michael has grown confident in the subject and though he still doesn’t like physics, he knows that with everything Stephen has taught him he can do well for this summers exams. Stephen tailors each session to his tutees specific needs and his firm but relaxed teaching style has been the most effective with Michael. It’s very obvious that Stephen cares about his tutees and he has been the best tutor we have come across on first tutors.If you want your child to have a great boost in not only grades but confidence, then Stephen Lui is what you need to achieve it”.

“We were looking for a tutor to help our son with his GCSE science subjects due to the apparent lack of progress he was making at school. We were recommended Stephen Lui by a work colleague of my wife who’s child was currently receiving tuition from Stephen.This was not a commitment that was taken lightly as it would involve major cost and time implications for our son who was already feeling a little overwhelmed.I am very pleased to say that we are very happy with the way it has turned out. Stephen is very knowledgeable in not just the three science subjects but also how they are presented by the various examination boards.Stephen has an extremely organized and methodical approach, arriving with lesson plans that cover the complete syllabus. Lessons appear to be enjoyable and homework is given to confirm understanding of what has been taught. This has also instilled confidence in what my son can achieve. I now fully expect him to be able to push for A/A* grades. I think we have been fortunate to find a tutor of his ability and would not hesitate to put his name forward”.

“Stephen is a very enthusiastic and down to earth teacher who my son relates to easily. He prepares his lessons intensely according to  the knowledge  of his students relating to the different topics . My son Shakeel, who has a passionate love for the sciences was refreshed by his approach after achieving badly in his year 10 exams due to a lack of teachers in his school, On a weekly basis, Stephen updates me on the different topics that he is covering and the performance of Shakeel, whether he is improving or not putting enough effort. Stephen also advises him for his other subjects, especially the way to revise for his coming GCSE.Shakeel has improved tremendously and achieved an A this week in his Physics assignment. I’m hoping that the effort and perseverance from Stephen will pay off for Shakeel’s GCSE. I recommend Stephen highly for any students who needs help with their sciences and wants to achieve good grades”.

 “Having found Stephen at the beginning of year 11, around October, time was already scarce, and I knew I needed a lot of help in Biology, Chemistry and Physics. I was struggling in school in Science lessons, and I just didn’t learn. Therefore I commenced tuition with Stephen, recommended to me by a good friend.Upon arriving at the first lesson, it was clear Stephen was someone willing to work. He had a very professional etiquette about him, and simply does not waste your time. The first impressions were that Stephen was very polite, and calm- a role model for students to admire. His striving personality blossoms every young student to work to their utmost potential in Science, and without Stephen’s extensive help, I would be getting C/D grades. Currently, I am on track for achieving A grades, and with a bit more studying, even A*s.To start off with, Stephen assessed the weaknesses of every Science subject and module. Once assessed, lesson plans were made, in the form of Powerpoint presentations, dedicated to the learning needs of every student. Personally, I’m a very visual learner, so my lesson plans include a lot of diagrams and videos, subsequently adding to my understanding of the certain topic.The homework set are all relevant and useful. All homework pieces are past papers in that specific science topic, and not only do you get to work with resources that actually matter, you also learn how to answer exam style questions, which I have found extremely useful. Stephen then marks and grades every homework piece, noting the mark down in a personal document for every tutee. Corrections are made, and Stephen ensures you are confident in the topic before moving on.On top of all this, Stephen loves his job. It is his passion, and most of all, he actually cares thoroughly about each and every student he takes on. Without Stephen, I wouldn’t be as motivated for my GCSEs and I feel as if Stephen has played a huge role in ensuring success in my GCSE exams. I would highly recommend him to anyone”.

 “My son found science very challenging, he was not engaging in the subject at all. I was really unsure how to assist him. However, a friend had recommended Stephen and I hoped that he would be able to assist. My husband and I were very impressed with Stephen’s initial approach. He conducted a needs analysis to ascertain what difficulty my son was having and also most importantly his preferred style of learning.My son was predicted a grade C, I knew he wanted to improve the grade but was overwhelmed with the volume of work and how to manage his time. He was unsure how to make concise relevant notes and the most productive way to revise.Stephen gave my son the confidence not to be fearful of science and very much adopt a “can do” attitude. Within a short period of time my son’s grades started to improve and he was engaging more enthusiastically with the topics. Stephen prepared his lessons before hand and was always able to have a brief discussion with me after each lesson, relaying the areas that had been covered and the next plan of action. My son was willing to do the homework therefore, reinforcing what he had been taught by Stephen and at school.Stephen has had a very positive influence on my son’s overall approach to learning. Although I had simply asked him to tutor my son, the bonus was he in fact taught him the importance of having a good understanding of what he was learning along with a strong desire to succeed in his other subjects. Stephen understands that students will find some aspects of science challenging. Thus his passion for the subject and his sincerity that his tutees will succeed and achieve the top grade is a relief to any parent.
I am happy to say that Stephen tutored my son and turned the predicted C grade to an A star A“

“For the past 10 weeks, Stephen has been tutoring my son who had been struggling with biology, chemistry and physics. Stephen came along and after a thorough briefing created a master plan first assessing, followed by delivering thorough, personalised and structured tutorials. Two and a half months later Stephen has reignited my son’s passion for learning and has given him the confidence and understanding that he was lacking in all 3 subjects. He has gone from a C/D student to an A/A*. Stephen’s teaching techniques are AMAZING – and my son literally looks forward to each and every one of his tutorials (he has 3 two hour sessions weekly and in the long summer break, can you imagine that). Stephen has really raised the bar of what we would have ever expected of a tutor. He is the very best we have ever worked with, and we have worked with many. Without out a shadow of a doubt I would highly recommend Dr Stephen, he is the very best of the best”.
Updated Review: “Brilliant iGCSE results. Dr Stephen tutored my son for a year starting at the end of year 10. He worked with him to turn his grades around for double science from a C/D to double A stars. Dr Stephen’s approach and continuous support throughout the summer holidays and right the way through year 11 was most definitely the key. He also mentored my son giving him confidence with all of his other subjects. The knock on effect was A stars and As across the board. A complete contrast to his results the previous year.Dr Stephen without a doubt was his secret weapon. We also passed Dr Stephen on to two of my son’s school friends who were also struggling and they too achieved double A stars for double iGCSE science as well as also excelling in their other subjects.I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Stephen, he’s simply the best!”

“Dr Stephen Lui started teaching physics, biology and chemistry to our daughter in the summer term, 2014. Since then her confidence has improved significantly, and we are delighted that she was awarded a double A stars in her double science iGCSE in August 2015. In addition, thanks to Dr Lui’s encouragement, our daughter has decided to study A-level Biology, although, initially, this was her weakest subject.Dr Lui’s lessons are well structured, engaging and varied: they have clear objectives, with a logical development and a review at the end of each lesson. The lessons are 75 minute long during term time and 90 minutes long during vacations.It is evident that a great deal of thought goes into the planning phase. Dr Lui uses a variety of materials to support his teaching, including power point presentations, and our daughter is engaged throughout. Dr Lui’s explanations and instructions are clear and each lesson is followed by a home assignment to consolidate the material which has been covered. The assignments are marked and detailed feedback given. Our daughter enjoys Dr Lui’s tuition very much.Most importantly, Dr Lui’s guidance and care have been instrumental in improving Katya’s self-discipline and organisation skills in exam preparation for all academic subjects.We have no hesitation in recommending Dr Lui as a potential tutor”.

“Stephen is very passionate about his job and has excellent knowledge on all science subjects, he loves teaching and works at the students pace, excellent teaching method. When I came to Stephen towards the end of year 10 I was achieving C/D grades in my Sciences. Now I received my iGCSE science results I managed to achieve 3x A stars results. Stephen is very unique in his style of teaching being very adaptable to the students needs and still makes the lessons fun and enjoyable. On top of his superb teaching, Stephen provided me with help on how to organise my timetable going into exams, when to start revising and general helpful tips on how to face my exams. After a great year with Stephen all I can really say is Thank You for your hard work with me Stephen and helping me achieve such outstanding grades”.

 “Stephen started working with my son, George in September 2014. He is studying triple sciences at iGCSE in May/June this year. Stephen is a professional tutor – he has identified my son’s weakness in each science and prepared a list of topics to address the issues. – every lesson is planned and delivered at the right pace. – he works really hard to motivate at the right times. Stephen’s approach to learning and structure has had beneficial effects on other subjects being taken by my son (i.e. he is looking carefully at questions for key words and tackling questions in the right order to maximise points. He is being far more structured in his revision plan). I would highly recommend Stephen to any person but he does appreciate the same effort being given back. Students who are not prepared to try their best would find Stephen challenging. We think he is excellent”.
Updated Review: “An update on results for my son George who has just completed triple science iGCSE. A star for Physics, A star for Chemistry and A for Biology (to be remarked as so close to A star) and 6 additional A stars which I genuinely think Stephen helped George to achieve focus, looking for key words, building confidence, factual answers. We are so delighted, what can we say!”

Stephen is very accommodating, and is methodical in his way of working. He was able to identify key areas that required addressing and was able to deliver clear and productive sessions and equally important able to engage with my son and gain his trust. I certainly will use Stephen for my son’s next academic year”.

The main thing I gained from this experience is learning about what the university is looking for in assignments and how to go about studying for exams. Stephen was always prompt to reply and did his best to complete my requests despite them being fairly last minute at times. I can recommend Stephen on the basis that he has sound knowledge, is a great support system and genuinely cares about the student’s well-being and grades. Thank you for your help“.

 “Stephen has been tutoring my son in Biology, Chemistry and Physics since the beginning of April in preparation for his forthcoming GCSEs. In a short space of time my son’s confidence in his ability has greatly improved and his whole approach to revision is more ordered and targeted at the topics that he needs to study to do well. Stephen is a fantastic tutor, on his first visit he assessed my son’s needs and was clear on what he wanted him to achieve. He prepares individual lessons for my son each time he visits which include stimulating material such as video clips, power point presentations and practise exercises. My son has been having 2 hour sessions with Stephen and looks forward to him coming. Stephen is very professional and has a friendly, positive manner which inspires great confidence. His subject specialism and detailed knowledge of each exam syllabus is second to none.My son was on course to obtaining C Grades in Biology and Chemistry and a B in Physics. With Stephen’s support and encouragement we are now optimistic that he will achieve A Grades in all three subjects.I would have no hesitation in recommending Stephen as a science tutor for your child”.

Stephen is aware of our son’s strengths and weaknesses and prepares work in order to build them up. He has high expectations and will give encouragement where necessary. I have seen my son’s attitude, results and confidence within sciences grow and mature. I put this growth down to the humorous, professional and systematic approach that Stephen uses when tutoring.I would recommend him highly to any student. Thanks Stephen!”.

“My son has been receiving tuition from Dr Stephen for the last 6 months, primarily, in chemistry with support lesson in Physics and Biology. My son will be taking his GCSE`s this year and his knowledge and confidence levels in these subjects has increased significantly thanks to Dr Stephen. we are confident that my son will achieve grades A/A*. Dr. Stephen has very well structured lesson plans, he fully understands the syllabus and what is required in order to achieve those top grades! His teaching methods are different to the usual convention of just following text books, but rather he tailors the lessons to the student, being more interactive, using presentation slides and multimedia to thoroughly explain concepts and idea per subject matter. Dr Stephen also ensures that homework given is nothing less than exam question from past papers, which has boosted my son’s confidence in preparation for his actual exams this year. I would strongly, without hesitation, recommend Dr. Stephen as an excellent tutor in his specialist fields/subjects”.

After each lesson I had the confidence and was prepared to answer challenging questions in the exams. Because I was boarding at school, I only had 2 weeks over the Easter break for tuition lessons with Stephen and if it was not with his help and support, I would never been able to achieve AB grades in my iGCSE Science (when in my mocks I achieved DD grades). I wished I had found him earlier and I know I would of achieved higher grades.I would highly recommend Stephen to anyone who is struggling with science. I even recommended him to my best friend who found him extremely helpful, supportive and encouraging”.

“Stephen helped me from CD grades in my mock exams to double AA grades in iGCSE Science. This is all due to his teaching methods in the lessons. He made the lessons enjoyable but importantly it helped me understand the topics.Initially he assessed me and identified the topics I was confused and struggled with. He created very clear powerpoints with lots of visual images and videos. He taught me according to my needs and learning style, which helped me understand each topic thoroughly.After completing each topic he gave me homework, which were exam style questions. He would then mark the work during the next tuition session. The homework tested and also reinforced my understanding.Since I returned home during the Easter holiday, I had limited time to prepare for my exams so our tuition sessions ranged from 2 to 4 hours with regular breaks in between. The time duration worked well as we covered a lot in this time and lessons were never boring. Stephen is one of the best tutors I have ever had and definitely the most effective. I have already recommended him to the younger years at my school and the students in my year taking A level Science. I know that if I continued science for A level I would definitely ask for his help again”.

“Stephen Lui was exactly the kind of tutor I was looking for. I wanted to help my son build his confidence in science and strive for high grades at iGCSE level. Prior to Stephen’s tuition, my son found science difficult and was slightly disheartened. For his iGCSE mocks, he achieved a B in Biology, a C in Physics, and a C in Chemistry. He found science challenging and sometimes difficult to understand.Stephen impressed us immediately with his professional approach and commitment to designing a specific program of work tailor-made for my son. He focused on areas of weakness his calm and patient manner put my son at ease. My son’s iGCSE results a few months later confirmed the benefits of Stephen’s tuition. My son achieved an A and a B in Dual Science at iGCSE level.I would highly recommend Stephen Lui as a tutor”.

“Stephen tutored my daughter Katherine for a few weeks before her GCSE exams. He began by conducting a thorough assessment. The results showed Stephen which topics needed the most work in the short amount of time he had before Katherine sat her exams. Katherine enjoyed her tutoring with Stephen. He instilled confidence in her, which I had not seen before. She attained the highest grade she could attain in her exams.I thoroughly recommend Stephen. He is a caring and very dedicated tutor”.

“Stephen took my daughter from a grade C student in her mocks to an A star student in her iGCSE Chemistry result and from a mock grade B to an A grade in both Physics and Biology. The results speak for themselves- but in order to achieve these, the way Stephen worked cannot be ignored.Initially he came round and talked through every aspect of each subject with my daughter and gained an understanding of how best she could learn and understand them and what her weak points were.  He then went away and devised a thorough programme of lessons to guide her through – in our case using some visual techniques, which my daughter found easy to follow and remember.  He gave her past papers to do each week for homework too which really helped and spent time going through them with her and explaining where she had gone wrong if she made mistakes.His professional, yet friendly, manner made it easy for my daughter to get on with him and, in turn, have the confidence to ask questions. By the end of the sessions she really understood the subjects and how things worked – as opposed to learning the answers without understanding the true meaning of the words.  It bought the Sciences to life for her and gave her the confidence she needed to sail through her iGCSEs. She is now going on to do Physics for A Level and I am very proud of her and grateful for all the work Stephen put in to get her where she is now”.

 “Clearly knows what he is talking about and has a high work ethic. He is very honest about my chances and how I might try to improve.  His methods definitely make a difference – not only in revising for exams but in my approach to my career. It helps that he has a concrete belief in the style he teaches and genuinely wants his students to do well and not just pass. I thoroughly enjoyed talking to him about career prospects towards the end of the session and his enthusiasm for his own subject is obvious. Overall, a great tutor and one that I couldn’t possibly recommend more”.

“I have been tutoring from Stephen for approximately 6 months, I have been confident in order to speak to him and discuss topics in which I was struggling with to ensure these were covered in the sessions. Stephen has helped me throughout my Biomedical Science Degree as well as general tuition with advice in regards to my Medicine application and C.V. improvements.Communication is always necessary with a tutor and I feel with Stephen communication has also been quick and effective.I would highly recommend Stephen as a Tutor”.

 “My name is Mr Jivithkumar. My daughter is taking lessons from Dr Stephen for sometime now. Her knowledge is much better than before and we very pleased about that. The way he is teaching is different from other teachers, because he clearly understands what she wants to improve more in the subjects. Once you talk to him you will like his knowledge and his abilities. I recommend to any parents who likes to send their children for the tution. He will change their knowledge and their exam results”.

“Stephen has been tutoring my son for 2 months in Biology, Physics and Chemistry in preparation for his iGCSEs this summer. He is extremely passionate about his subjects and very keen to impart his knowledge and enthusiasm for science to his students.Stephen has worked very patiently and diligently with my son using teaching tools/methods that suit his learning style and to which he has positively responded. I would not hesitate to recommend Stephen: he is not only very professional, but he has a warm and friendly personality”.

  “Stephen is a fantastic tutor and a fantastic teacher. He prepares thoroughly for each lesson, takes his time when explaining to my brother. He sets homework and is rigorous when going through it. He is child friendly and very much geared towards ensuring he child understands. My only regret is not hiring him earlier. Hope to continue with him into A-levels”.

“The first session Stephen asked about what I wanted to work on and what I thought I really needed help on. Stephen then went on stating the way he works and the way he was going to work with me. I thought this was excellent because he really adapted each session around the way that I work and think.Powerpoints that Stephen made for every session were awesome. All of them were in the detail and also had different ways to learn.He worked closely with the specification criteria so that the information was what you needed to know and also would go into more depth. Homework questions worked very well because it would test you on what you really learned in the session so therefore was always reinforcing the information to make sure that it was sinking in.Stephen would also adapt information into the powerpoint in which I would need to know for my university course, so he wasn’t just helping me through my A-levels but beyond that and to make sure that the information was engraved in. Overall Stephen helped me understand the bigger picture with biology much better with linking each topics with each other and making sure that it was all understandable. Furthermore the way Stephen incorporated the style of learning that I learned best at. Also great and easy to talk to about any other problems that you have and had no problem answering any question”.

“Stephen has helped my son with his scientific knowledge. He puts in a lot of effort for his students by providing detailed powerpoints as well as explaining in great detail. Stephen has made Martin’s lessons very easy to understand for him, going at the students pace. He was very precise in tutoring, spending a lot of time focusing on weak topics as well as reinforcing other topics as well. Stephen expects hard work not to be only done in lessons but as well as out of lessons, setting homework from past exam papers which helped my son a lot. I would highly recommend Stephen to any student who needs tuition in science”.
