John has recently commenced tutoring our English and Turkish bilingual son in preparation for the 10+ exams. While our son possesses exceptional verbal abilities, he struggles with ADHD and not much of a reader as the generation dictates. John has swiftly assumed the role of a guiding force, providing him with the appropriate content and strategic call-to-actions that effectively address his weaknesses and maintain his engagement and interest in online sessions, despite my son’s challenges with online learning. John’s teaching experience is exceptional, coupled with his excellent communication skills. He skillfully balances progress with homework, which has begun to yield positive results. Our son has much better understanding in inferences, is enthusiastic about composing free writing on his chosen themes, aiming to employ more comprehensive methods and incorporate enriched adverbs and adjectives. We anticipate that this effort and dedication will lead to his achieving his desired academic goals, while John will continue to excel in English language proficiency and future literary endeavors.

Colette teaches my son, who has ADHD, and her approach has made a real difference to his learning. She is both methodical and flexible, adapting her teaching style to meet his needs while ensuring the sessions remain structured and purposeful. Her lessons are engaging, meaningful, and delivered with patience and understanding, which has helped build his confidence as well as his skills. Colette takes the time to explain concepts clearly and uses strategies that keep him focused and motivated. Most importantly, she creates a positive and supportive learning environment where my son feels encouraged and capable of succeeding.

My son has had several lessons with David. He says David makes learning English very interesting. He has enjoyed all the classes so far and is happy to continue classes with David.

Peter has been a great support for my son. His reading, writing, and overall confidence in English have improved noticeably. The sessions are always engaging and tailored to his needs. Highly recommended!

Phil has been an incredible tutor for my son, Henry. From the very start, Henry has really appreciated Phil’s kind and patient approach. One of the things Henry values most (in Henry's words) is that Phil is flexible in his teaching – he shifts his technique and perspective depending on what works best for Henry, which keeps him engaged and motivated. Henry has gained so much confidence in English that it has now become his favourite subject at school. It’s clear that this transformation comes from the better tools and deeper understanding Phil has given him. After each lesson, Henry feels good about what he has learnt, and he is always ready and enthusiastic for the next session. I am truly grateful for Phil’s support, teaching, and belief in Henry. He hasn’t just helped with subject knowledge, but has taught techniques and approaches that Henry is now applying in school with great success. Another aspect I really appreciate is the thoughtful feedback Phil provides after every lesson. For example, a recent note looked like this: Lesson Feedback What was covered - Continued with extracts from 1984 - Focused on analysing language - Worked through a model answer and independent response How it went “Some really good quote selections from the text. When explaining a quote, it can be useful to take the time to explain the imagery to help add more detail to your answer and then link this to the reader.” This kind of feedback is so valuable - it helps Henry reflect on what went well and shows him where he can grow, while also keeping me in the loop about his progress. Phil's encouragement, adaptability, and clear teaching style have made a huge difference to Henry’s confidence and enjoyment of English.

Stephanie is very patient and amazing tutor. My daughter become more confident and improved her English drastically within just three months working with Stephanie. I highly recommend Stephanie to everyone.

Amanda is a fantastic English tutor. She is really engaging and made what was a stressful subject fun. My child is not a keen learner but Amanda's approach has helped them to commit to the extra lessons and improve their understanding of what is needed in KS3.

Anita prepared the lessons with a lot of effort and I learnt a lot from her lesson. The amount of homework given was quite reasonable and things are planned really carefully. She is good at breaking down complicated things.
