Florence B
Cheerful and effective English Tutor!
Hello! Fantastic to meet you, I'm Florence. I've been a qualified primary school teacher for twelve years now, and loved every moment. From Phonics in Reception to Maths and Science in Year 6, I've taught it all. I teach with enthusiasm and passion, and this is what gets my students great results in their learning journey. To ensure good progress, I find out about a student's interests and try to personalise lessons at every opportunity. Over my career so far, I've taught in several junior, primary and first schools across the West Midlands, worked as a TA in a school for dyslexic children in Denmark...
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

She also has helped with improving my analysis, providing me with stronger context and helping me add depth to it. I really recommend her as she is great!

Cerise S
Cerise has been such a lovely and supportive English tutor for Eisa. She really helped him find structure and confidence in his lessons and I could see the difference in how he approached his reading and writing. She always came well prepared with materials and gave clear guidance on what to work on..for example, getting him to read A Christmas Carol and pick out key quotes and themes to discuss together.
Eisa really enjoyed her lessons and found her teaching style easy to follow. She’s been patient, encouraging and genuinely invested in his progress. We’ve really appreciated all her help!

She focuses on helping you perform at your very best, regardless of what grade you're aiming for.
