Since Abby began working with Nicholas we have noticed improvements in her English literature comprehension and essay writing skills in a short span on time. Nicholas has an engaging teaching style and focused approach have been instrumental in Abby's progress. One of the his strengths is his ability to plan well-structured lessons that cater to Abby's specific needs. Each session is organized and targeted, ensuring that Abby receives the support necessary to enhance her understanding of English literature and develop her essay writing skills. Additionally, the tutor assigns supplemental work to Abby, which has been beneficial in reinforcing the concepts covered during their sessions. These assignments have challenged Abby to apply her knowledge independently, leading to a deeper grasp of the subject matter and continual growth. Overall, we are satisfied with the tutor's teaching methods and the positive impact they have had on Abby's academic performance. His dedication to her learning, engaging lessons, and structured approach have played a key role in her improvement in English literature and essay writing. We would recommend him to any student looking to enhance their English skills with the guidance of a supportive and effective tutor.

We have been very lucky to find Kate. Our son Alex was so nervous with his GCSE English exams before meeting with Kate. Also, initially, not very enthusiastic with the idea of tuitions. But Kate has been so brilliant, clear, approachable, and managed to keep him engaged and focused. More importantly, she has been able, after just few lessons, to boost his confidence and to give him confidence and positivity. Our son now says he finds her lessons very helpful and looks forward to the lesson every week. Kate also revised with our son a topic which came up at the exam!!!

My son had the privilege of being tutored by Joe from the summer holidays, through year 11, up until his GCSE exams (now) for English language and literature. Joe reached out to me in response to my request for a teacher who could meet my son's needs (as he has special educational needs) and particularly picked up on the fact that my son needed a compassionate teacher. He definitely embodied compassion for my son for the duration of his tuition. He quickly established a trusted relationship with my son and gave him all the support he needed. He was adaptive and flexible according to how my son presented on the day. He offered my son breaks when required and generally maintained a low demand environment so my son's anxiety reduced and he was able to learn. Joe truly cared about my son's learning. My son had previously missed out on many years of learning due to his needs and anxiety and before meeting Joe, my son was failing both language and literature exams. Joe delivered a bespoke method of teaching, completely different to school. He employed techniques that were exactly in line with my son's needs, such as multi sensory techniques, breaking down objectives into small steps etc and made the lessons really engaging and accessible. Each lesson was diligently planned and this was very evident in the teaching. It was the first time my son began to understand English language written techniques and particularly the texts for the English Literature exam. However, the most valuable thing Joe helped my son achieve was regaining his confidence and hope that he could pass these exams. In my son's mocks, he was at borderline pass marks for Literature and already at a strong pass for Language. I truly feel these lessons have been a turning point for my son's English GCSEs. I am grateful that my son had the honour of being taught by such a highly qualified, knowledgeable, experienced and professional tutor. Joe was always reliable and if lesson timings needed to be changed (only a few times in the year), Joe communicated well and was very accommodating. I would highly recommend Joe for tuition as I feel other students would experience the same success in their educational journey with him as my son has benefitted from.

Amazing tutor! She's very helpful and explains things in a way that’s easy to understand. She always gives useful tips and is really encouraging and supportive during lessons.

ifa is simply fantastic. She has a natural gift for teaching. The content of each lesson my daughter has with her is well structured and has a clear focus and objective. She is very encouraging as well as appropriately challenging which keeps my daughter interested and engaged in lessons. She looks forward to having lessons with Ifa every week and I would highly recommend her.

We started in February, and in less than 3 months, we feel ready and confident for exams. Many thanks to Anna
