Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone. For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...

Ian has been a very supportive and versatile tutor for Agastya, helping him with both English and Maths during his GCSE preparation.
He was particularly helpful with exam technique, written responses and building confidence in English, where Agastya achieved Grade 9. He also provided valuable support in Maths, helping him work through more challenging areas and achieve a strong Grade 8.

Lucy F
I went from grade 2 in english language in my mocks to a grade 7 in 7 months of tutoring. Each lesson had been incredibly useful. By the time of my exams, Lucy's predictions for both the english language and literature papers on what the questions would be on, and what poem would appear on the paper, had also been incredibly useful. As her predictions had been almost entirely correct and the preparation for the paper using them had meant i was fully prepared for the questions that came up, and prepared for any other questions on potential themes, topics or poems that could come up.

Izzy S
Izzy tutored my daughter in English language and English literature GCSE. She had been predicted two grade 6s but achieved a grade 7 and a grade 8 and I have no doubt that Izzy played a huge part in her success. Izzy is an extremely kind, patient and supportive tutor who prepares every lesson meticulously and provides both challenging but engaging tasks. She really understands the mark scheme of all the papers so is able to ensure her students truly grasp what is actually being assessed. I can absolutely recommend Izzy as a tutor.
