Business English Exam: CPE Proficiency Outcome: Pass ‘C2’ level achieved
I took a Cambridge Proficiency course with Guy, which developed into 3 years of English lessons. As an HR Consultant with a keen interest in world affairs, I wanted to work with Guy on a diverse range of material, with the Proficiency exam as my ultimate goal. His professional and adaptable attitude suited me perfectly.
Subject: Business English Exam: BEC Vantage Outcome: Pass ‘B2’ level achieved
I needed the BEC Vantage exam for work reasons. I had an ambitious target of three months’ preparation. Guy’s teaching style realy motivated me, and his flexible approach made a lot of difference. We worked hard together to correct my errors and improve my writing skills, and I achieved a pass. On my own I would not have passed the exam. Thanks so much!
Subject: English Exam: 11+ Interview preparation Outcome: Goal totally achieved
The contrast in how my son came out of the interview which Guy had prepared him for compared with the previous one was like night and day. He was beaming and so happy….. my goal was totally achieved – I now have a boy who came out of an intervuew smiling with pride, chatty and confident, and not crying.
Subject: Business English Exam: BEC Vantage Outcome: ‘A’ grade C1 level achieved
Because of my new job, I was required to prove B2 level English to my employer. Guy and I worked together for 9 months, and I achieved C1 level! I was so pleased. Guy carefully and methodically guided me through the coursebook and prepared me for the exam, and I enjoyed the lessons more than I expected! Thank you for putting up with such a slow student who didn’t always listen to you.

Subject: English Exam: 11+ English and Verbal Reasoning Outcome: 100% success
Guy has been working as a tutor for Argent Education since November 2019. His responsibilities include the provision and planning of high-quality tutorials for 11+ English and reasoning papers, and also the writing of excellent sample papers. He has my highest recommendation as a good employee and tutor.
Subject: English Language Exam: IELTS Outcome: Grade ‘8’ achieved (desired level)
I took six months of lessons with Guy to prepare for the IELTS exam, and I achieved my target of an ‘8’. I enjoyed our lessons – Guy was well-organised and prepared, and took the time to work on my individual problem areas. He marked all my writing tasks comprehensively and his feedback was very useful in helping me improve to the required standard. He helped me enormously with the speaking section, and patiently taught me how to manage the reading and listening parts of the exam.
His flexible yet structured approach was definitely a great help, and I’m sure I would not have achieved this grade without his friendly coaching.
Subject: English & Verbal Reasoning Exam: 11+ Outcome: Pass x 3 exams
Guy really helped my son Max with his 11+ English, as well as his VR and interview. Guy is very easy to get on with, and Max enjoyed his lessons. Guy quickly found Max’s problem areas in the English paper, and found specific exercises for further practice. He thoroughly prepared Max for the interview, leaving nothing to chance, and oversaw VR final practice. Max received offers for all his three preferred schools.
Subject: Medical / Professional English Exam: n/a Outcome: Report writing skills improved to required standard
Guy is a great tutor, always punctual. English is not my first language, I can see a major difference in my writing skills and grammar after having few sessions with him. I highly recommend his tuition.
Subject: Medical / Professional English Exam: n/a Outcome: Improvement and ease of writing medical patient reviews.
I took these lessons to improve my grammar as English is not my first language. I used to spend so much time checking my grammar over and over, but as soon as I took lessons with Guy my grammar has improved so much.
I have never been confident to write a review before. He will take his time to explain things so that you understand.
Subject: English and Verbal Reasoning Exam: Common Entrance / 13+ Outcome: Pass
My daughter Antonia had lessons with Guy for about six months before her Common Entrance / 13+ English exams. They worked on all the different parts of the exam in detail as Antonia’s English has never been her strong point.
Guy’s patience and thoroughness, together with his friendliness and punctuality, helped Antonia enormously. She felt confident when she took the exams and got great results. A big thank you to Guy!
Subject: General English – spoken / social Exam: n/a Outcome: Large improvement in understanding, speaking and accent reduction for daily English at work.
I arrived from Spain in 2018 and for me was very hard to understand and speak with people easily. This is very important with my job as hairdresser. I took lessons on skype with Guy for one year and he worked with me to help me understand and speak much better. I did practice tasks with him, he gave me homework and I learned lots of new things every week.
Our lessons were always fun and I will go back to him soon to learn more.
Subject: English Exam: IELTS Outcome: ‘7’. Desired result.
Guy is the best English tutor I had. He is always well prepared and his lessons are interesting and carefully planned. His feedback and marking is like on the real IELTS exam.
Highly recommended!
