Lucy M
Enthusiastic English tutor
I have been a qualified teacher for sevenyears. I believe that education is one of the greatest opportunities children can be given in order to reach their full potential. However, I believe education can only be a great opportunity when the teacher truly engages each child within their learning. My motivations stem from this belief, as I enjoy adapting my practice to suit the varying needs and interests of the children I teach.As it ensures that the children’s learning is placed into a context that makes sense to them and therefore is meaningful.

Izzy S
Thank you so much Izzy for all the support and encouragement you gave my son during his GCSE English preparation. Your teaching style made a huge difference to both his understanding and confidence. He went into his exams feeling far more prepared, calm, and positive than he ever had before.
You explained everything clearly, helped him improve his exam technique, and always made lessons engaging and supportive. We really appreciated the patience, dedication, and reassurance you gave throughout the process. I would highly recommend you to anyone looking for an excellent GCSE English tutor

Gavin C
Gavin has been invaluable in helping my son build confidence and develop a clear understanding of how to approach his English GCSE exams. An area he had been significantly struggling with. His patience and ability to ensure my son understood exactly what was expected of him made a real difference.
What also stood out was Gavin’s communication after each session. He consistently kept me informed of the progress made, as well as the areas still requiring focus, which gave me great reassurance as a parent and allowed us to stay on top of my son’s development throughout the process.
We are incredibly grateful for his support and would wholeheartedly recommend Gavin to anyone seeking guidance with English.

Keely S
My daughter has been having lessons with Keely since April to help her gain confidence in working towards her English GCSE.
Keely listened to our concerns around the support she needs and seemed to fully understand and normalise this.
My daughter enjoys the sessions and is starting to increase her confidence around structuring her responses to exam style questions. Keely always gives feedback following the session and sends a copy of the work covered.
We would highly recommend Keely.

Rozeena has been tutoring my Year 10 daughter, and she really enjoys every lesson and has made so much progress. As a teacher herself, Rozeena quickly identified the areas where my daughter needed help and tailored the lessons accordingly.
She especially helped my daughter massively with mastering her Year 10 GCSE speech writing. My daughter says Rozeena’s support and guidance have made a huge difference to her confidence and skills. Thanks again Rozeena!
