Phil R
Bringing English to Life
I have a strong, passionate and extensive interest in History. I believe that rather than it be a stodgy subject full of dates and events, it’s actually a living thing as it’s about people, how they thought what they thought and why they thought it and how all that impacts us today. My specialist interest lies in 19th and 20th Century History particularly the First World War - I visit the battlefields of France and Belgium at least twice a year. It's something I think anyone should undertake at least just once to try and appreciate the magnitude of what took place there - it's a moving experience. I a...

Helen B
Helen is a wonderful teacher. Zack has made fantastic progress since starting lessons with her, not only with phonics and reading, but most importantly in his confidence. He now speaks English much more spontaneously at home and has started trying to write his own cards and sentences. Helen is patient, encouraging and very thoughtful in the way she plans each lesson around his progress. Zack always enjoys his lessons with her and looks forward to seeing her each week. We are very grateful to have found her.

Ruth M
My son Jacob is having a great experience with the English tutoring with Ruth. The lessons were clear, engaging and tailored to his level and needs. The tutor is patient, supportive, and explains everything in a way that was easy to understand. With an extremely amount of teaching experience this shows through the lessons from the first lesson with Ruth. I feel much more confident with my son having English now in advance for his G.C.S.E next year and would definitely recommend Ruth to others looking for support for their child. Many Thanks, Tara
