The Good Schools Guide review of De Silva Tutors

Craig de Silva practically, though not quite, runs the show single handedly but his results have been symphonic, judging from the ear-trembling chorus of his devoted fans who roared his praises to us. ‘Incredibly responsive – much quicker than most’. ‘A more likable, professional person in the world of tutoring you will not find.’ ‘It’s not an exaggeration to say that Craig transformed our family’s life.’ Etc.
