Hetty F
Hetty is brilliantly thorough and focused. Our son likes her as she is making him feel at ease on a topic that can be a little intimidating at times. He sees her enthusiasm and she conveys it naturally which in return gets him engaged far more than usual. Her method is gentle but keeping the kids in check with regular communications and follow ups. She is a great tutor…

Jessica B
We were very happy with the consistent manner in which Jessica tutored our son during the two years leading to his GCSE exams. Our son was at a 5 and 6 for Eng Lit and Eng. He ended up achieving an 8 and 9, respectively. Our son was encouraged by Jessica throughout his learning period. Jessica was always on time, quick to respond to messages and available to reschedule the lesson times when needed. We highly recommend her. Thank you very much Jessica!
