Anna C
Anna was amazingly helpful for my daughter in her GSCE year. Building her confidence and knowledge; listening to her areas of concern and making a plan to help her improve. They built a good rapport and Anna always took the time to listen. We have no hesitation in recommending her.

Riannon T
I can't thank Riannon enough for helping our son to prepare for his GCSEs in both English Language and Literature. Despite being bright and capable he was struggling to answer the questions effectively. Riannon worked with him with humour and professionalism and he went into his exams feeling a great deal more confident than he otherwise would have been. Would highly recommend Riannon's tutoring. Thank you Riannon.

Lucy C
Lucy has been such a greater tutor over the past 12 months, having fallen out of love with English at school my daughter looked forward to her sessions with Lucy. Lucy has a pupil led approach, provides additional resources for support and will review work between sessions. My daughter has gone into her GCSE's significantly more confident than this time last year.

Dr Lucy Y
As a parent, I cannot recommend Lucy highly enough. While my daughter was already doing well in English, she needed extra guidance to truly master the deeper analysis required for the top grades.Lucy was definitely exactly what we were looking for,she was able to effectively teach my daughter how to break down texts and articulate arguments with a level of sophistication that wasn't really taught at her school.The impact was immediate - my daughter's analysis became much more mature,and she constantly told me she wished she had found Lucy sooner. My daughter really enjoyed her lessons with Lucy -she created a wonderfully positive encouraging environment that kept my daughter motivated and engaged! If you want a tutor who will be able to genuinely elevate your child's confidence and skills, look no further - she is absolutely fantastic!

Victoria has built a fantastic relationship with my son (with ASD) tutoring him for his English GCSEs. She provides a safe space to ask all the questions that might be uncomfortable in class, and takes the time to listen, helping his confidence and understanding.

Absolutely. An English tutor can be invaluable in helping your child craft a compelling personal statement that stands out. They can also help them achieve the A-Level grades needed for a competitive course by strengthening their essay writing and analytical skills.
