Melanie C
I genuinely cannot recommend Melanie highly enough. From the beginning of year 13 she has patiently worked with me, developing all my skills, specifically identifying, targeting and making me confident with my weak points such as my struggle in planning and selecting moments in my texts.
What stood out in Melanie’s teaching was her ability to explain and develop complex ideas with me then help me simplify them, in order to gain marks in literature. She has provided a range of resources, from predicted questions to detailed revision resources. Her guidance has always made me leave every lesson feeling more confident. Furthermore, her selection of texts to revise specifically for unseen is great; she even explored the extract that appeared in my exam. Also Melanie dedicates her time to mark extra essays with thorough, detailed feedback tailored to what I need to improve.
Thanks to her support I approached my A-Level English literature exams with a key feeling, I left our final lesson with was confidence. After months of her guidance, support, and thorough preparation, I felt genuinely well prepared for my exams and far more confident in my ability to tackle whatever came up.
Beyond an excellent tutor, her dedication, knowledge and belief in me has made an incredible difference to my approach with English, not just with exams but as a subject too. I am so grateful for her help, and would wholeheartedly recommend her as an English tutor !
