Matthew B
My son was really struggling and behind in English (dyslexia and ADHD also). Working with Matthew B really gave his confidence a boost and made him feel like he finally understood how to approach questions and how paragraphs worked and it made a huge improvement on his work and most recent mock papers. Thank you so much for making him feel like he could do it after years of giving up on himself

Lesley H
We cannot recommend Lesley highly enough. From the very beginning, she built a wonderful rapport with our daughter and helped her develop both her English skills and, just as importantly, her confidence. Her lessons were engaging, supportive and tailored to our daughter's needs, making a real difference to her progress.
Our daughter was delighted with her exam results, and we genuinely believe that Lesley's teaching played a significant part in this success. Her ability to explain concepts clearly, encourage independent thinking and create a positive learning environment has been invaluable.
We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Lesley and are so grateful for the time, effort and dedication she has invested in helping our daughter achieve her potential. We would not hesitate to recommend her to other families looking for an outstanding English tutor.
