Lauren G
Effective tutor
My name is Lauren. I am a current Master's student studying Criminology. I have tutored in GCSE and A-level Geography before online. My then student and I went through his weaker topics a few times. This made sure he was as comfortable and confident as he could be when it came to sitting the exam. I have also tutored in GCSE English; although I don’t offer that service anymore, I similarly approach the teaching. For example, we would discuss relevant quotations and language techniques. Again, focusing on weaker parts at stages, I did make sure to cover as much as possible with both students. T...

Find a tutor Ngoran N
Ngoran was maths tutor to my son during the year running up to his GCSE’s.
There were some topics George needed help with and Ngoran spent the lessons working with him to grasp things and build confidence.
George got an 8 in maths, he got a 6 in mocks so Ngoran really helped him build knowledge and get the best result he could! Wouldn’t hesitate
to use him again.
Thanks Ngoran

Ian S
Ian is a brilliant English tutor. He took the time to understand my son's struggles and difficulties and quickly got a feel for where he needed support. He has been fantastic in helping him work through these challenges, improve his English and prepare for his exams.
Ian gives a really helpful overview of each lesson, provides clear feedback and sets homework that is manageable and achievable. My son has additional needs, so finding someone who understands him and knows how to support him is really important to us. He genuinely enjoys his sessions with Ian, which says a lot, particularly as he has struggled with school and learning in the past.
Ian is always punctual, reliable and well prepared. I really appreciate everything you're doing to support my son, Ian. Thank you for your patience, understanding and encouragement. It really does make a difference!

Judy C
Judy has been absolutely wonderful with our daughter. She is warm, encouraging and engaging, and Olivia genuinely looks forward to every lesson with her.
She manages to make the sessions fun and relaxed while still keeping them focused and productive, and we can already see Olivia’s confidence growing. With the 11+ exams approaching, it is so reassuring to have someone who makes the whole process feel positive rather than stressful.
We feel very lucky to have found Judy and would highly recommend her.
