Robyn L
Robyn has 100% been the best tutor i have ever had in my life! I used to hate English Lit and English Language but because of her i love it, i even ended up picking English lit as one of my A levels because of how much she transformed my love for English. i had little confidence in myself and always thought i would be bad at english, but she showed me and taught me that it didn’t have to be like that. i was predicted U’s for as long as i can remember but because of Robyn i ended up getting two 6’s in my final GCSE grade being only 6 and 8 marks away from getting two 7’s. i could not have done this without her and would recommend her to anyone!
