“Merlvine is very passionate about math and connected well with Tumi. Merlvine wow Tumi and empowered her throughout the year. We appreciate him and may he continue to empower other kids as he did to Tumi. Merlvine exceeded our expectations. Bravo!!!”- Cynthia
“Excellent”- Matau
“Merlvine has the unique gift of being able to teach and he demonstrates his commitment and passion in his approach and methods. His knowledge of first year university maths is unquestionable. Due to the circumstances there was a limited time period, two weeks, in which to find a tutor who would not only have the ability to cover a full years work but have the ability to part knowledge. Merlvine was able to do this. Thank you Merlvine”- Colleen
“He has helped Emma to improve her marks by 20% on her last report. He is always accommodating to change lessons as we need him to, which really helps during Exam time. ”- Llana
“Chayton loves Merlvine and Maths! Merlvine just excites Chayton with the Maths lessons and inspires him to aim and achieve higher. Chayton has never had the Maths results that he is currently getting, and this is all thanks to Melvine and his passion to teach Maths! Thank you.”- Karey
