Janan S
Janan is such a great tutor! She explains things really well and is able to fully break down areas I struggle with in English and make it easy to follow. She is also very personable and creates an easy atmosphere and is very understanding when I am behind in assignments for her, having a very dedicated work ethic, making up for what I lack. She creates a very welcoming environment and I genuinely do enjoy our lessons. Also she has helped direct me towards revision strategy’s as well so I do feel I have improved too in that areas and in English in general too. Would strongly recommend!

Frances has been helping my daughter with English and SPaG in preparation for her SATs and after just a few sessions, I’ve seen a difference. She sets weekly homework, takes a genuine interest in my daughter’s week and makes learning fun by playing games like hangman to aid spelling. My daughter is engaged and is starting to really grasp the content. Frances is patient, encouraging and explains things clearly, which has already boosted my daughter’s confidence.

We are 3 lessons in and already I can see the difference in confidence it has given my son. Alex has been great at engaging in sessions that are interactive, which suit my son's learning style. He is focusing on areas of weakness and breaking things down simply to give him the tools to improve his grades. Time will tell, but so far we are both really happy.

Flora I
We are absolutely delighted with the English tuition Flora is providing for our son in preparation for his GCSEs. He is really enjoying her lessons and already finding them extremely helpful. Flora listens carefully, offers clear and thoughtful advice, and focuses on strengthening his knowledge in a way that feels supportive and encouraging. Each lesson is very well structured, which has really helped build his confidence.
Although he has only had a few lessons so far, he already feels they will make a real difference and help him focus on exactly what he needs to prioritise for his exams. This is exactly what we hoped Flora would deliver, and we couldn’t be happier with the start she has made.
