John M
John stepped in at short notice to support our son with English Language GCSE resit. It was his third attempt and his confidence was low, with no enthusiasm for revising. John’s calm and encouraging approach was so effective,our son was actually looking forward to his tutor sessions and was voluntarily doing is own revision to send to John for review between sessions. Whilst we wait for the results we are happy to say that John enabled our son to approach the exams with a positive mindset and with many strategies to tackle the paper. John communicated very well with us throughout and we would highly recommend him as a tutor.

Megan R
Megan has been absolutely wonderful. She has such a calm and encouraging manner and from the very beginning made my daughter feel comfortable and supported.
She helped with both GCSE English Language and Literature and her feedback was always detailed and helpful. Megan was happy to look over homework between lessons and took the time to explain things properly, going over anything my daughter wasn’t sure about.
The biggest difference we saw was in my daughter’s confidence. She went from worrying about English to feeling prepared going into all of her GCSE papers.
We are so grateful for all of Megan’s support and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. We will definitely be asking Megan back when my daughter starts her A-levels.

Deborah J
After having just finished both my English literature and language GCSEs completely, I can confirm that Deborah has been a massive help in reaching the level that I am at now. Before I started tuition with her, I was at around a grade 5-6 level. However, after 2 years of hard work and resilience, Deborah helped me reach grade 9s in my mocks and (hopefully) in my real GCSEs too. She has been a pleasure to have as a tutor and always makes sure to put in maximum effort, tailoring her lessons to the specific needs and preferences for the student in order to allow them to reach their full potential in a unique way. Not only has Deborah helped me achieve top grades in English GCSE, but she has also helped me build a more general confidence in my writing in other aspects of my life of which I'm sure will follow me in many more years to come. She is especially hard-working and diligent in spotting weaker areas to focus on improvement and sets challenges to ensure that you can reach the best version of yourself that there is. She will also not get angry or impatient if you are struggling, but instead approach your difficulties with care and thoughtfulness. In my opinion, this is exactly the tutor to choose if you’re aiming to look for someone to help you unlock your potential and become the most competent version of yourself that there could be.

Sarah J
Excellent English tutor. Friendly, professional and very knowledgeable about the WJEC English curriculum.
Lessons were well organised, engaging and tailored to the areas that needed the most support. Helpful resources, past papers and exam techniques were provided, which helped build confidence and improve understanding in a short period of time.
Communication was excellent throughout, and lesson times were arranged flexibly around a busy exam schedule. The support provided in the weeks leading up to GCSE exams was invaluable.
Highly recommended to anyone looking for a supportive and effective English tutor.
