Andrew tutored my son for his GCSE English Language and Literature exams, at a time of great turmoil, when he was changing schools and countries in the middle of the course. With Andrew's help, friendly nature, his excellent instruction and feedback, and especially support with structuring essays, he was able to achieve 8s in both exams. I highly recommend Andrew!

Andrew is a very friendly and inspiring teacher. He is highly qualified in English Literature and is flexible in his approach towards his students, tailoring the lesson according to the level required. I have thoroughly enjoyed my lessons, and appreciate his advice and support. I would highly recommend Andrew as an English teacher.

I’m so happy with the improvement my daughter's work since she began her tutoring sessions with Andrew. She has achieved mastering for her English in her most recent tests, which is incredible considering she was some 2 levels below mastering when she started her tuition. She actually now believes in her own ability, which is having a positive impact not only on her English work but also on her other subjects.

Andrew is a brilliant tutor! As a teacher myself, I can vouch confidently for Andrew’s abilities. He is not only highly qualified and experienced, but is also kind and considerate. My son often becomes extremely stressed about his studies, yet Andrew always treats him with great sensitivity and care, allowing him the time and the space to calm down and regain his confidence and focus. I'm so grateful both for Andrew’s excellent lessons and for his outstanding patience and understanding.

I’m so very pleased with Andrew’s teaching of my son. He genuinely enjoys his lessons and especially appreciates Andrew’s friendly and helpful approach. He feels comfortable with the teaching materials and is confident he can ask Andrew anything if he is unsure. He is a different boy since he began his lessons with Andrew. I’m so grateful Andrew has made home-schooling work for my son.

Reviews by academics:

'Absolutely spot-on in your comments... Helpful, precise, and enviably fluent. Your comments on the dissertation scripts are also extremely conscientious.' (Open University Tutor Appraisal).

[Andrew] is a quite brilliant as well as diligent and committed researcher... one of the outstanding scholars of his generation. I could recommend no-one more highly. (The late Professor Vincent Newey, former Head of English, University of Leicester).

Dr Hagiioannu is an outstanding teacher. He makes teaching into a creative dialogue which has been much appreciated by his students. He is dedicated, extremely knowledgeable and works extremely hard for his pupils. I recommend him most warmly. (Professor Clare Hanson, University of Southhampton).

Dr Hagiioannu's ... is a gifted close reader; his historiography is mature and sophisticated; his theoretical perspectives are broadly based and remarkably balanced and mature... the External Examiner's report on his Viva concludes that he will become a major player in Kipling and related scolarship. (Professor William F.T. Myers, former Head of Department, University of Leicester).
