Flora I
We cannot recommend Flora highly enough as a GCSE English tutor. Recommended to us by a friend, Flora has been patient, engaging, and incredibly supportive, making online lessons feel just as effective as in-person sessions.
Even though we were away on holiday in Spain during the week, the online lessons worked perfectly, allowing Jasmine to stay on track without any disruption. Flora has provided detailed, constructive feedback on Jasmine’s exam paper, which has been invaluable in helping her understand how to improve and approach the exam with confidence.
Flora’s dedication, professionalism, friendly and approachable manner have made a real difference, and we are truly grateful for her guidance.

Ria D
In just a few weeks, my daughter’s confidence in both English and maths has grown so much thanks to Ria.
She's feeling much more prepared for her upcoming GCSEs.
Ria is super easy to communicate with, really flexible, and her lessons are always well-organised and focused.
She’s been such a great support — we’d definitely recommend her!

Jen has built a good relationship with my son and quickly identified what he needed to focus on to enable him to pass his English resit. He is engaged with lessons, he enjoys them and completes work set. He absolutely has benefitted from the 1 on 1 time these lessons give him.

Jessica C
Our son has had four lessons in English Language and English Literature with Jessica so far, as he’s sitting his GCSEs this year. It’s clear Jessica has a strong background and is truly in the right profession—she knows exactly what’s needed and structures each lesson to cover any gaps. She explains everything clearly, focuses on exam technique, and is patient and supportive. Our son enjoys the lessons and already feels more confident. We’re planning to continue and are very glad to have Jessica as his tutor. We highly recommend her!
