Johanna P
Johanna has been tutoring my son in English for the Scottish National 5 exam preparation since February, and her support has been excellent. She is patient, engaging, and creates a very positive learning environment that my son genuinely enjoys. She supports him in understanding deeper meanings, analysing texts, and responding clearly and confidently in writing. As a result, his interest in English has grown significantly, along with his confidence in his ability to understand complex literature and poetry. His test results have improved substantially since he started working with her. Johanna is reliable, professional, and truly dedicated to her students. I would highly recommend her.

Elizabeth A
Elizabeth is awesome! —her love of English is completely infectious and she has been fantastic with my daughter.
She pre-plans and tailors each lesson to her student’s needs; her organised approach produces clarity and structure which has drawn out quality writing.
We came to her with an obscure book that’s not on the regular curriculum and Elizabeth dived straight into reading it so she could provide complete coverage!
We then discovered that Elizabeth has the incredible ability for supporting research projects (EPQ and beyond), enabling our child to work independently and develop their own thinking, without our involvement.
Our daughter is incredibly strong in her stem subjects and we wanted to ensure her writing and analysis skills would be equally developed. Elizabeth has provided exactly this—
She naturally breaks things down in a way that makes everything manageable while maintaining depth. She draws out real analytical thinking—encouraging my daughter to think more deeply, challenge ideas, and develop her own voice.
If you’re looking for a tutor who is enthusiastic, knowledgeable and has great impact, choose Elizabeth!

Georgina B
Georgina has been fantastic throughout my son’s final exam preparation. From the very first lesson, she showed great care and professionalism — always asking what Jason needed and preparing materials accordingly. Her lessons are clear, encouraging and perfectly structured. We couldn’t be happier with the results and have already recommended Georgina to other parents. She is an excellent tutor and we would not hesitate to use her again!
