David
"We are absolutely delighted with the progress he is making"
"Both our sons have been lucky enough to be taught by Dave. Our eldest had Dave as his school teacher for AS Pure Maths where Dave challenged and stretched the class brilliantly resulting in our son and several of his class mates getting 100% UMS on what I understand was a pretty tricky Pure Maths paper. So when our youngest son was struggling a little in school, it was our eldest son who suggested we get in touch with Dave for private tuition. Dave has been working with our youngest son for 18 months now. He tailors the content and style of lessons to suit the learning needs of the child and our son really enjoys the sessions. His understanding and confidence have grown hugely and Dave contacts us regularly to give us updates on his view of our son’s progress. We are absolutely delighted with the progress he is making and really can’t recommend Dave highly enough."

"He provides a variety of effective learning strategies"
"Dave is a fantastic Maths Tutor! He takes time to get to know the pupil and tailors his approach to suit the young person. He also understands the challenges that neurodiversity can bring and provides a variety of effective learning strategies. I can highly recommend him!"
Rhian, Parent
"My son says he's the best teacher he has ever had"
"I was recommended Cardiff Maths tutor from a friend who is also a teacher. She said you can't get better than Dave! My son is having group tutoring online with Dave.. His experience has been fantastic. Dave is an amazing Tutor. My son says he's the best teacher he has ever had. He really looks forward to his Maths tuition every week.From my perspective I have found the process extremely efficient. A video is emailed a week before for your child to watch and he then explains the topic at the session making sure your child understands everything. I would highly recommend Cardiff Maths Tutor to anyone looking to improve their maths. The best"
Tracey, Parent
"If you want your child to be happy and confident when it comes to Maths at all levels, Dave is the only tutor you need"
"Dave is a fantastic tutor! He is easy to communicate with, putting us parents at ease. Dave is very aware of the difficulties students in this day and age face and he is about identifying their individual needs and helping them build confidence in Maths. Dave was very informative and kept me up to date about my son's progress. I know that I would recommend him to everyone and my only regret is not finding him sooner. A child's confidence is easily dented when they are lost in a large class so building it from an early age is key(in my opinion as a Mum of three.) If you want your child to be happy and confident when it comes to Maths at all levels, Dave is the only tutor you need. I just wish I had his patients and tenacity, as well as his brain!"
Sally, Parent
"The format of his group sessions is very well designed, my son is getting so much out of it. Great value for money."
"Dave contacted me very shortly after I sent him a message. I am so pleased we found Dave, you couldn’t find anyone more helpful and positive. He set up a brand new group session to accommodate my son and a few other tutees. The format of his group sessions is very well designed, my son is getting so much out of it. Great value for money. Dave makes the process very easy and simple to follow and he is very happy to help with technical issues. He is such an asset."
Ludivine, Parent
"It's his approach and personality that sets him apart"
"I thoroughly recommend Dave to anyone looking for a Maths tutor. Our son has benefitted greatly from both an intensive course and ongoing weekly sessions. Dave's evidently a great teacher, but it's his approach and personality that sets him apart... for a short time our son had a different tutor, simply because the scheduling didn't work out. He was fine, but as our son said at the time... "he's not Dave" :)"
Nick, Parent
"We are very lucky to have found such a great tutor!"
"Absolutely outstanding experience. My son very much enjoys his sessions and comes away feeling happy, more confident and feeling like he’s making progress. He has a very full life and sessions are recorded so he can watch after his footy match or what ever else he is doing. Dave is incredibly friendly and flexible, just what my son needs. We are very lucky to have found such a great tutor!"
Julia, Parent
"I cannot think of any teacher or tutor to match Dave Ashton"
"I have seen four kids go through school challenges of all kinds. I cannot think of any teacher or tutor to match Dave Ashton. Just outstanding, not just in teaching his subject but in forming a relationship that reaches way beyond maths to inspiring my son to enjoy and get better with his school work. Thank you Dave."
Steve, Parent
"The pace is just right and my daughter has made rapid progress."
"We have been very impressed with the online lessons with Dave and how quickly my daughters confidence has improved. The pre-lesson homework is great and the quizz at the start of the lesson ensures that the lesson is bespoke to her needs. The pace is just right and my daughter has made rapid progress. Thanks very much Dave."
Sarah, Parent
"Her confidence in the subject has grown so much in just a few months!"
"So happy with the support provided for my daughter. Lessons are engaging and she is provided with weekly homework to keep her focused. Her confidence in the subject has grown so much in just a few months!"

"Learnt more in 2 days than he had all year at school"
"We signed our son up for the intensive course over the Easter holidays. It was absolutely brilliant and after the 2nd session my son said he'd learnt more in 2 days than he had all year at school. Jacob ended up getting an 8 in his GCSE Maths. We will definitely be signing our other children up when the time comes."
Joanne, Parent
"Allowed him to rapidly catch up "
"Dave helped our son during year 11 GCSE maths. He was struggling in school and needed extra help. The tutoring allowed him to rapidly catch up and he's really doing well. Dave takes the time to explain progress to us as parents. Highly recommended!"

"Brilliant intensive maths course"
"Brilliant intensive maths course and helped me achieve the highest mark I got throughout high-school in my GCSE's"
Jacob, Student
"Having scored a B at mock and predicted that grade at GCSE, he achieved an A"
"My son attended weekly GCSE revision classes in the run up to his GCSE. He found the well-organised sessions really helpful in plugging gaps in his knowledge and reinforcing topics covered in class, with the videos also useful for revision. Having scored a B at mock and predicted that grade at GCSE, he achieved an A, which has in turn boosted his confidence to continue the subject at AS/A level. Highly recommended!"
Claire, Parent
"Classes were amazing for my son"
"My son was struggling with confidence in the run up to his GCSE’s, and we were so glad to have found David. David’s classes were amazing for my son, we noticed immediately that his confidence and understanding increased. My son really liked the way that David taught the lessons as they were very well organised, with clear explanations that were very easy to follow. We can’t thank David enough and would highly recommend him."
Rachel, Parent
"Take advantage of this great teachers experience and knowledge to give your child the best exam preparation you can"
"We asked Dave to help our Son with his GCSE maths preparation. He attended the online sessions and completed the assigned tasks. He found the sessions relevant, well organised and fun. As parents we received updates and feedback throughout.We would totally recommend Dave to anyone at any level to take advantage of this great teachers experience and knowledge to give your child the best exam preparation you can.
Phillip, Parent
"I would give 6 stars if I could"
"Maths has never been a subject that my daughter has been at ease with. Dave turned that around completely. As a result of participating in Dave’s small online revision classes, my daughter’s understanding and confidence was able to develop and flourish so that she was in the best place she could be before taking her GCSE exams.
The classes were well organised, challenging and fun and Dave is very approachable, friendly and really knows his stuff! I would give 6 stars if I could and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him."
Ruth, Parent
"Whatever the ultimate outcome I am truly glad we decided to invest in Dave’s services"
"Dave Ashton tutored my child for their maths GCSE exam via both weekly group lessons and an intensive course over the May half term. He also provided a crammer session before each individual maths paper. My child found every session productive, interesting and enjoyable…and this is from someone who has always hated maths! By the end of the course his confidence had sky rocketed and he went into the exams believing he could achieve what he wanted in them - for that I am forever grateful. Slowly mathematical concepts began to “click in place” for him and he became more secure in answering some of the harder questions. Whatever the ultimate outcome I am truly glad we decided to invest in Dave’s services and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him to everyone I know."
Fran, Parent
"I felt well prepared for the exam"
"The revision lessons at Easter and ahead of the exams helped reassure me and gave me confidence. It was a great opportunity to iron out any issues and I felt well prepared for the exam."
Seb. Student
"Dave is patient and kind and brings out the best in his students"
"Our son has benefited from the Sunday revision classes in the lead up to Numeracy and Maths GCSEs. He has enjoyed the pre session tasks and has increased in his confidence after each session. Sessions are enjoyable, just the right Length, and each covers a specific exam focus. This helped with long-term revision as each lesson was recorded for recap. Dave is patient and kind and brings out the best in his students. Highly recommended."
Elen, Parent
"Thanks so much for giving my son his confidence and love back for maths"
"My son has loved the remote classes and has participated well with classes and the homework. The use of the recordings has been extremely useful when he hasn’t been able to join a lesson. A good range of topics based on the curriculum and exams. Very well organised programme, and Dave has been welcoming and always at the end of the phone to answer any queries and to discuss progress. Looking forward to starting the new term. Thanks so much for giving my son his confidence and love back for maths"

"Dave has been a brilliant and excellent teacher who has transformed my maths"
"Dave has been a brilliant and excellent teacher who has transformed my maths. Prior to starting with Dave I was predicted a C grade and was sitting the intermediate maths paper and really lacked confidence in my ability. I started with Dave in September and within 2 months my view on maths had completely changed and sat the higher Maths paper in November and achieved a Grade A. I'd honestly recommend him to anyone and such a brilliant bloke as well."

"Mr Ashton is an amazingly talented and very kind man, who gets the best out of his pupils"
"If you are struggling with maths or just need a bit of revision help, you will not be disappointed. My son went up a grade in 3 months of tutoring, now 8 months later his confidence has increased greatly and I could now even say he enjoys the subject he once dreaded and his marks continue to improve.
My son is very quiet and needs time to feel at ease with people, this was achieved in a single 1 hour session.
I can only summarise by saying that Mr Ashton is an amazingly talented and very kind man, who gets the best out of his pupils. His knowledge is extensive and his explanations very easy to understand. I cannot recommend him enough, you will not be disappointed and positive results will be seen very quickly. It is because of his help that I am now feeling confident in my son getting a good grade in his GCSEs next summer.."

"Dave is an incredible maths tutor"
"Dave is an incredible maths tutor and I was fortunate enough to have his help throughout A level Maths! He is so easy to talk to and ask for help, and linked so much of his revision to make it exam focussed. He has his own way of working through questions and methods that I personally found so much easier to get my head around than those being taught in school. Would highly recommend to anyone local needing maths tuition :)"
Meg, Student
"A fantastic tutor"
"Dave has tutored both my children to achieve the highest grades possible in A level maths. His skill as a tutor was inspirational to them both , they thoroughly enjoyed every session, gained complete understanding of the subject and were supported by Dave’s preparation, his attention to detail and supplement material. A fantastic tutor."
Gareth, Parent
"Fantastic and enthusiastic"
"Dave is a fantastic and enthusiastic tutor. He helped me smash my A Level maths with receiving full marks in pure. He would go to all lengths to find new paper questions which I had not completed before. I wouldn’t have got the grade I needed for university without him."
Owain, Student
"I received an A*"
"When I started out before having Dave Ashton as my maths tutor, the best result I was looking to receive in my GCSE's was a C. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't wrap my head around the equations or the questions.
As soon as I started with Dave however, things immediately began to click. Not only did I understand questions, but I also knew far easier tricks and methods to tackle them, far easier than the methods they teach in school. It's all thanks to him I received an A* in my numeracy paper the end of last year, and am facing the prospect of another in November. Dave turned not only my grades around, but my entire thoughts and beliefs on maths, going from my least favourite, to my absolute favourite subject.
He was that good I recommended him to my friend who was also struggling in maths and facing similar prospects, and he too also received an A*, just like me. I would recommend absolutely anyone to Dave as he's the single best tutor I've ever had."
Cian, Student
"Predicted an A*"
"I was aiming for an A* in maths numeracy, however when i received my mock back i was quite disheartened to see that the result was around 40% and landed me and a C or a B. I was wondering what to do until a friend recommended that I try maths sessions with Dave Ashton. Thanks to his help I received an A* in numeracy and am predicted an A* in mathematics from the most recent mocks. Not only this but i’m also thinking i will even take maths on to A level, as after understanding it better thanks to Dave, i now really enjoy it. 5/5, would recommend to anyone who needs a little extra support." Harry, Student
"Brilliant tutoring GCSE and AS/A level"
"I have no hesitation in recommending Dave. He has been brilliant tutoring GCSE and AS/A level Maths to my three children. He is experienced, very personable and patient. His lessons are well structured and detailed, using good questions to test knowledge and understanding. Dave is great at explaining topics remotely as well as face to face. My children have benefitted immensely so far and have developed confidence in their maths ability, with my eldest recently achieving an A at AS level."
Jo, Parent
"His performance in the subject has improved dramatically"
"Dave tutors my son for A level maths and I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him to others. My son is quite shy and was hesitant about having a tutor- but he thoroughly enjoys his sessions with Dave and his performance in the subject has improved dramatically. He has grown in confidence and admits to enjoying maths so much more since starting the sessions."

"Dave Ashton tutored me for in both years 11 and 12 of high school (GCSE/A-Level). Mr Ashton has a way to make the complicated seems simple and is able to find numerous ways of explaining things to fit everyone’s learning style. He was an incredible teacher and that has really translated well to his tutoring style. I would recommend anyone that is struggling with Maths or is just looking to get a higher grade to get in touch."

"An approachable tutor who builds confidence through his clear explanations and patient approach"
"I couldn’t recommend Dave Ashton highly enough. He has helped my son and daughter with their Maths GCSE studies. Dave’s strength is his communication skills: he is an affable, approachable tutor who builds confidence through his clear explanations and patient approach. He tailored each session to meet our priority areas and offered really helpful advice and suggestions for revision strategies. Whilst Dave is clearly an expert in his field, for us his kind, calm and patient nature put my children at ease and enabled them to get the most out of his sessions. ."
