Rebecca has been an excellent English tutor to our 9 year old during a very difficult time when he needed to be homeschooled. She catered her lessons around subjects our little one found interesting and enjoyed, and she managed to keep him much more engaged with his schoolwork than we were able to do on our own. Rebecca provided very detailed and helpful verbal and written feedback after lessons and helped us identify his strengths and weaknesses so that we knew what to focus on. We have seen improvement with his writing ability and spellings, and it has been great to see him more engaged with a subject he doesn't like very much! We have been very happy with Rebecca's work and we would highly recommend her as a tutor. Thanks for all your help Rebecca!

We are so thankful to Rob for the incredible support he gave our daughter in both English Literature and English Language. He is a truly gifted tutor who brought out the very best in her. Thanks to his expert guidance and inspiring teaching style, she developed a deep understanding and genuine appreciation of both subjects. By the time her GCSEs came around, she felt fully prepared and confident — she even found the exams enjoyable! We would highly recommend Rob to any family looking for a dedicated and talented English tutor. Thank you, Rob, for helping our daughter thrive!

Connor is a great tutor who taught my son’s GCSE English. My son enjoyed his learning with him. I also found he is very kind and helpful. Would like to recommend him to anyone who needs an English Tutor.

We cannot recommend Sophia highly enough! She has been a remarkable support for our son, who has dyslexia and ADHD. Her patience and skill in explaining complex texts, especially GCSE poetry and literature, have been invaluable. She knows just how to help him structure his thoughts and express his ideas clearly. We are deeply grateful for her dedication and expertise. Thank you! Caroline

Cintia is an excellent tutor who brings a wealth of knowledge to every session. She consistently goes the extra mile to ensure I fully understand the material and is always patient and encouraging. Her professionalism and dedication make learning both effective and enjoyable. I’m very grateful for her support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and committed tutor.

Sam has been helping our son in year 9 with English for about 6 months now. He is the 2nd tutor we used, and definitely the best. Very engaging and my son looks forward to the session each week…not sure there is more you can hope for! Very reliable too. Have recommended to a friend who now also uses Sam for his son. Would definitely recommend.

My son was approaching English GCSEs feeling demotivated and probably overwhelmed. Jessica started work with him and very quickly there was a change. He enjoyed his lesson with her, she explained things clearly and adapted the lessons as exams approached switching between Language & Literature. She is a brilliant teacher and her up to date knowledge of exam content/ technique/marking was a real bonus. He became motivated and more confident and was able to take his English GCSE with confidence and a clarity of what he needed to do. Our only regret was that he didn't start with her sooner!
