I've taught children with SEN, EAL, behavioural problems and gifted children, across all primary stages.

Hetty F

Hetty has been amazing. Before I started working with her, I didn’t feel very confident in my English Literature, but she’s really helped me turn things around. Her lessons are fun, and she pushes me to do my best, while also giving me homework that’s tailored to my weaknesses. She makes sure to go through everything I struggle with and helps me build on those areas. Over time, I’ve developed new skills, and my grades have improved a lot. I’ve even received some great uni offers! On top of that, Hetty helped me with my UCAS application, which was such a big help. She’s super supportive and genuinely cares about your progress. I couldn’t recommend her enough!
