Michael B
Friendly, enthusiastic English Tutor
I absolutely love what I do, and channel that enthusiasm within each of my lessons. I believe a child can very easily see if a teacher is passionate about what they are teaching, which is why I believe only those who absolutely love their profession should teach. I want to provide the most engaging and challenging lesson for myself, because I hold very high standards for my quality of work, but more importantly, for the child. I want a child to leave each session safe in the knowledge that they have learnt something new that day.I like to approach each session differently, learning what interests...

Carole G
Professional English tutor
Hi, my name is Carole. I worked as a primary school teacher for 19 years and I have been tutoring children from reception to year 8, mainly online, since February 2020. I have worked with many children, helping them to achieve success in SATs, school entrance exams or to gain increased confidence and enjoyment of their subjects in school. I had some recent feedback from a parent, stating that their child had "gone from being scared of maths (and trying to hide it by saying maths is boring) to loving it!" Some of my current students have worked with me for several years, continuing after primary...

Georgina B
Georgina has been fantastic throughout my son’s final exam preparation. From the very first lesson, she showed great care and professionalism — always asking what Jason needed and preparing materials accordingly. Her lessons are clear, encouraging and perfectly structured. We couldn’t be happier with the results and have already recommended Georgina to other parents. She is an excellent tutor and we would not hesitate to use her again!

Emma is simply fantastic! After just 4 lessons, my son, who is in primary school, was admired by his teachers; his English grammar improved significantly. My son feels very comfortable with her teaching style, and she makes learning much easier for him. I highly recommend her!

Siobhan L
Siobhan was excellent and I’m really pleased with how the first session went. She was really well prepared and explained things clearly throughout the lesson. She worked patiently with my son and made him feel at ease, which was great to see as he can be quite shy at first. She asked thoughtful questions and encouraged him to share his ideas, helping to build his confidence as the session went on. Overall, it was a very positive and engaging first lesson. Thanks Siobhan!
