We were incredibly fortunate to have Michaela support our son with his English Language and Literature GCSEs. She was very engaging, attentive, and encouraging - quickly building a strong rapport with him and boosting his confidence. She provided excellent materials tailored to his needs and was always responsive and helpful whenever we had questions. Michaela was also very supportive as we navigated my son’s dyslexia diagnosis. She guided us through the process, helping us adapt his learning approach and ensuring he felt supported every step of the way. We’re very grateful for her help and highly recommend her to any family looking for thoughtful and skilled English tuition.

My daugther (16y) switched to a different international school earlier this year but wanted to complete her English IGCSE. Ifa tutored her for 4 months to help her prepare. I have only good things to say about how she supported my daugther. Ifa was kind, very dedicated, was fully familiar with the curriculum, explained things very well, and proposed lots of practical exercises. Communications with me and my daughter about scheduling was very fluid and easy. Without Ifa's support my daugther would have struggled to complete this course next to her regular school programme. I really highly recommend Ifa.

I’m grateful for the wonderful English lessons my daughter received from Bev. From the very first session, it was clear that Bev is not only highly knowledgeable but also genuinely passionate about teaching. She creates an engaging learning environment that made a huge difference in my daughter’s learning progress. My daughter always came out of each lesson feeling motivated and excited to learn more. She often mentioned how much she looked forward to her lessons with Bev, which shows how fun and interactive the sessions were. What stood out the most was Bev’s encouragement and her personalised approach. She took the time to understand my daughter’s strengths and areas for improvement, and took the lessons accordingly. As a result, my daughter made noticeable progress and participates actively in class. Bev is without doubt, one of the best teachers we’ve come across. Her dedication and positivity is amazing. I would highly recommend her to any parent looking for an excellent English tutor who knows how to bring out the best in them.

Julie is an outstanding English teacher who creates a loving and nurturing environment for a second grade Chinese student. Her patience is remarkable and she is always ready to guide her students with gentle encouragement.

In her classroom, learning English is a joyful experience where every lesson is designed to build understanding and fluency. She combines creative activities with effective strategies that make learning fun and memorable. What sets teacher Julie apart is her unique ability to speak Chinese. This skill allows her to bridge language gaps and make her students feel understood and supported. Her knowledge of Chinese culture enriches her lessons, making them relatable and respectful to her students' backgrounds. Julie’s dedication goes beyond the academic; she cares deeply about her students' well-being and growth. She patiently addresses every question and celebrates every achievement, no matter how small.

Muneebah is very nice and easy going. Wonderful to work with and helped me progress in a short period of time.

Shekinah is a great tutor who is really helping our teenage son engage with English GCSE. He much prefers his tutor sessions to those in the classroom! Shekinah is very patient at explaining things and keeps the sessions interactive and has helped increase our son's confidence in his ability in the run up to the exams.

Excellent tutor. My 3 boys love her easy-to-understand way of teaching. She has made English Language and Literature fun to learn. Flora is sweet and patient with young people. 100% recommended!

Leigh is very professional, knowledgeable and experienced tutor. He has a very calm and patient approach and tailors his teaching style to suit the child’s individual needs. Leigh has taught and supported my son with GCSE English Language revision. Because of Leigh’ support, my son was able not just to readjust and overcome the changes in the exam board revision (from AQA to Edexcel) in a very short period of time, but also to pass the exam.
