We had a great experience working with Helena over the past six weeks as she helped our son prepare for his international school assessment, which he passed successfully. From the start, Helena was fantastic at figuring out exactly what our son needed—whether it was English, maths, or interview prep—and tailored each session to suit his level and pace. But what really stood out was how she went beyond just tutoring. She became a real coach for him, helping him feel confident and safe going into the interview, not just academically ready but mentally prepared too. Helena struck a really good balance—firm enough to keep things focused, but always kind and encouraging so our son stayed motivated and never felt pressured. She built a strong bond with him and found creative ways to keep him engaged with a variety of activities. On top of that, she was super flexible and easy to work with, always doing her best to fit into our unpredictable schedule. All in all, working with Helena was a great experience, and we’re really grateful for the support and care she gave during this important time.

We are truly grateful for the time, care, and thought Laura puts into each English Literature lesson. Her teaching strategies are well structured and carefully tailored to support young learners. Laura’s lessons are always well-planned and purposeful, with clear objectives and engaging activities that not only understand the text but also develop deeper thinking skills. She creates a warm and supportive learning environment where my daughter feels confident to ask questions, explore new ideas, and grow as a reader.

We were very late in looking for a tutor and Maria came highly recommended by a friend. Maria was friendly, very patient, and after just a few weeks, had given valuable study guidance, study material and exam technique. From sitting at a "No Result" in his prelim, my son achieved a Grade C pass in Higher English. This certainly wouldn't have been possible without Maria's help.

Lucy is excellent in her teaching. My son thoroughly enjoys his lesson and she caters to his needs .Really happy with just two weeks into her teaching. Thank you ...

My son was tutored by Elina starting in Year 9. It's been great to see his progress over the past year. He has learned a substantial amount of English vocabulary, and it's wonderful to see that his writing technique has improved significantly. I would absolutely recommend her as an English tutor.

My Y10 child has been tutored with Owen for over 3 months weekly lessons, and they’ve improved not only in grades but also in confidence and interest within English/Literature. Owen’s professionalism, consistency and communication has been very much appreciated alongside his teaching style. Definitely a tutor I would recommend!

Alex is very friendly and helpful, so far I’ve enjoyed my lessons.
