Jake S
Jake tutored my daughter through Years 10 and 11 GCSE maths, shifting a stressful subject into confidence and success. He created a structured, flexible plan focused on building her confidence and breaking down complex problems. Jake also helped her to advocate for herself at school and decide whether to do the higher-level paper.
As a parent, I appreciated Jake’s holistic approach. He genuinely cared for her well-being, kept lessons engaging, could have a laugh and protected her study time so she could excel in her other subjects. She exceeded her own expectations in her results and is now moving on to A-Levels at her top-choice sixth form.
Thanks so much Jake!

Lisa E
Lisa is an amazing tutor with a clear passion for sociology. Her extensive resources, personalised lesson plans and predicted exam questions were incredibly helpful in my lessons. Before my sessions with Lisa, I was getting consistent D's in sociology and felt stuck in one place without knowing how to improve. Once I started learning with Lisa, I saw massive improvements in my work, which ultimately led to me achieving an A in sociology and getting into my firm choice university. I will forever be grateful for Lisa's help and support.
