Tammy’s Tale

Adam is now 16 and completed his GCSEs in June 2018 at Kellett School. We had been living in Hong Kong for six years when we began working with Jerome.

He was in the second year of his GCSEs and was struggling to realise his potential because of his difficulties with focusing and organisation. Hong Kong has a thriving tuition industry, but usually it’s formulaic. With the others, I didn’t feel there was any genuine attempt to engage Adam on an individual basis.

It quickly became clear that we were in another league with Jerome and his team. They are passionate about their students; they understood how to engage Adam, assisting him with setting goals and better organising himself.

Jerome was much more than a tutor, he also became a coach and mentor to Adam. We were all thrilled that Adam achieved mostly A*s and As, with a few Bs in his GCSEs. It was a great boost for his confidence to achieve these good results. Most significantly, Jerome has been an important influence on Adam beyond the academics, keeping a genuine interest in how he’s doing beyond the contracted time, and continuing to motivate him to achieve.
