Aileen has been a fantastic tutor for my daughter's A Level English Literature. She has grown in both confidence and competence since tutoring began. Aileen has a warm and supportive style combined with a very effective teaching approach. She has also been very flexible in supporting my daughter through her exam period. Would highly recommend.

I've been working with Amy since around October and since then I have really progressed with A-level english. when started I was consistently getting C grades and was struggling with confidence in my writing, now my grades are on a solid B/A and I've been predicted an A in my final A-level exam! Amy's lessons were always engaging and tailored to what I needed. I'm really grateful and would completely recommend Amy!A

Before I started working with Megan, I was feeling lost and hopeless about English Literature. I had really struggled with the transition from GCSEs to A-Levels, and I'd lost both confidence and interest in the subject. Not only did Megan completely turn around my grades, but she reignited my love for literature, and even taught me to love and appreciate parts of the specification (poetry) which I had never thought possible. Megan is an incredible tutor. Her knowledge of the texts is deep and wide-ranging, and her expertise goes far beyond just English. She brings in much broader knowledge and perspectives that make every analysis richer and more meaningful. She puts so much thought and effort into every session, always going above and beyond to tailor the content to your needs and learning style. I have really appreciated her collaborative approach in which she doesn't just tell you what to think but listens, supports, and helps you develop your own ideas, pushing them to the next level. Beyond her brilliance as a teacher, Megan is also just a lovely, warm person and I've really enjoyed working together and getting to know her. She made learning something fun that I genuinely looked forward to. I’ve grown so much under her guidance, both as a student and as a thinker, and I’m really going to miss our Monday sessions. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Matthew has worked with my son for nearly 3 years and has been a brilliant tutor. Reliable, patient and adapts lessons as required, I cannot fault Matthew at all. Highly recommended.

Very helpful and really supported me in terms of my unique revision needs! Could not have done it without her!

Saarah has been tutoring my son for the past two years in preparation for his GCSEs. She is incredibly dedicated to her students and consistently goes the extra mile to support their learning. Her commitment and passion for teaching have made a significant difference in my son's progress. I highly recommend Saarah to anyone looking for a reliable and effective tutor.

I want to express my gratitude for Libby’s incredible support during my daughter’s OCR-level English studies. Her guidance over the past two years has made a significant impact on my daughter's understanding and confidence. Not only has she helped her excel in her OCR exams, but she’s also inspired a genuine love for literature. Exploring texts like The Great Gatsby, The Grapes of Wrath, Rossetti's poems, and A Doll's House together. Libby’s dedication and personalised approach have truly been invaluable. Thank you for everything!
