Deborah is a really great English teacher. She helped me a lot when I was struggling and honestly saved my grade. She’s patient, explains things well, and always takes the time to help when you don’t understand something.
I really appreciate the support and encouragement she gave me. She made me feel more confident with English and I’m really grateful for everything she did.

Flora I
My son started online English lessons with Flora at the end of February 2026, and we have been extremely pleased with his progress since then.
He genuinely enjoys his lessons and always finds them engaging, helpful, and well structured. Flora has built his confidence in English and has helped him develop both his writing skills and understanding of the subject.
The improvement has been clearly reflected in his Year 10 school exam results, where he has achieved significantly better scores than before. It is evident that Flora's teaching has had a very positive impact on his learning.
We are delighted with the progress he has made and would highly recommend Flora to anyone looking for an excellent English tutor.
Thank you, Flora!

Thanks to Iman my son felt much more confident to face the GCSE examinations. We are very grateful! We highly recommend Iman.

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.
