Private English tuition with experienced tutors in Dumfries.

I am pleased to provide a reference for Sonia, who has been an invaluable tutor to my son, Ashton, throughout his preparation for his GCSE English Language exam. From the outset, Sonia demonstrated a remarkable ability to tailor her teaching approach to Ashton’s individual learning needs. She took the time to understand his strengths and areas for improvement, creating a structured yet flexible lesson plan that consistently motivated and challenged him. Her expert knowledge of the GCSE English Language curriculum, coupled with her engaging teaching style, helped Ashton build confidence and achieve a deep understanding of the material. Sonia’s passion for English and her genuine interest in her students' success are truly evident in every session. She has an excellent ability to explain complex concepts in a clear and approachable manner, making even the most challenging topics accessible. Whether it was refining writing skills, improving his reading comprehension, or preparing for the exam's more specific requirements, Sonia consistently provided Ashton with the tools and techniques he needed to succeed. Her patience and encouragement fostered a positive learning environment, allowing Ashton to thrive. She was always willing to go the extra mile, providing additional resources and offering constructive feedback that helped him refine his skills. As a result, Ashton felt more confident in his abilities and was better equipped to approach his exam with the necessary knowledge and strategies. Sonia's professionalism, dedication, and warm approach make her an outstanding tutor, and I highly recommend her to any student seeking support in English Language. She has been an instrumental part of Ashton’s academic journey, and I am confident that her tutoring has set him up for success in his GCSEs and beyond.

Sarah is a fantastic teacher, she is very patient in teaching my SEN daughter. She encourages my daughter reading and even sent us some interesting books for my daughter to read. My daughter loves Sarah’s lesson very much.

Diana is a very good teacher and she help my son to improve his writing skill.

My son is finding the sessions with Lucy really helpful. He finds her friendly, supportive and approachable. After a handful of sessions he is already feeling more confident in his approach to English Lit, especially his ability to know how to interpret questions and form a written answer.

He is a very, very good tutor. He has helped my son with his English Language and it helped him improve drastically. 10/10 would very much recommend

Monazzah is an excellent tutor! Very creative and attentive! She inspired my daughter from the very first class! I feel confident that my daughter will make excellent progress with her!

Ruth provided English tuition for my son (in year 9) and her approach was friendly, warm and encouraging. She quickly developed a good rapport with him and helped him to improve his comprehension and analytical responses to literature texts. Ruth also provided very useful post lesson summaries and additional information to extend his learning. I would recommend her to anyone looking for support with English.

Excellent tutor.
