Keely S
My daughter has been having lessons with Keely since April to help her gain confidence in working towards her English GCSE.
Keely listened to our concerns around the support she needs and seemed to fully understand and normalise this.
My daughter enjoys the sessions and is starting to increase her confidence around structuring her responses to exam style questions. Keely always gives feedback following the session and sends a copy of the work covered.
We would highly recommend Keely.

Deborah J
I have had Deborah as a tutor for the past 2 years and she has taken me from a low grade 6 to a comfortable grade 8, while consequently boosting my confidence as an English student. She is lively and allows teaching to be fun and enjoyable. I have gone from dreading to open an English assessment to being able to confidently walk out my past 3 English GCSE exams knowing I have given it my everything. I have learnt many notable skills as her student that I wish to take with me past Year 11. I couldn't recommend her enough! Thank you so much for these past years and I will miss our lessons.
