David J
Experienced English Tutor
When it comes to History, I have always loved the subject, leading me to secure my place at the University of Leeds and to follow through my degree and gain a 2:1. While doing so, I had a fantastic time living in Leeds, which is why I came back to live here. My focus was on the British Empire, but having studied History all the way through school and university, my experience with the subject is very broad. For example I studied Britain from 1880-1980 and Nazi Germany at A Level, and American foreign policy and race relations and the Russian Revolution at GCSE. History is one of the most important...

Find a tutor Scott B
My son had a great experience with the English tutoring. The lessons were clear, engaging, and tailored to his needs. The tutor was patient, supportive, and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand using different techniques and refering to games he was interested in and other topics to engage in things he understands and learning without knowing hes learning because its fun. My sons feel much more confident with his English now and has started speaking out reading in class which he didnt have the confidence to do before. My son Harry didnt feel like this was a chore either and looked forward to each lesson. i would definitely recommend the tutoring to others. Thanks Scott. Regards Tara

Linda gave English and English Literature lessons to my son for several lessons. My son liked her lessons very much and improved his attainment from initially 6 to 8/9 at GSCE exams. Linda has a lot of experience with exams and tailors her lessons to the individual needs of her students. We strongly recommend Linda for English and English Literature lessons.

Ian S
Ian has been a very supportive and versatile tutor for Agastya, helping him with both English and Maths during his GCSE preparation.
He was particularly helpful with exam technique, written responses and building confidence in English, where Agastya achieved Grade 9. He also provided valuable support in Maths, helping him work through more challenging areas and achieve a strong Grade 8.
We really appreciated Ian’s patience, reliability and commitment throughout the GCSE period and would be very happy to recommend him.
