Dr Lucy Y
As a parent, I cannot recommend Lucy highly enough. While my daughter was already doing well in English, she needed extra guidance to truly master the deeper analysis required for the top grades.Lucy was definitely exactly what we were looking for,she was able to effectively teach my daughter how to break down texts and articulate arguments with a level of sophistication that wasn't really taught at her school.The impact was immediate - my daughter's analysis became much more mature,and she constantly told me she wished she had found Lucy sooner. My daughter really enjoyed her lessons with Lucy -she created a wonderfully positive encouraging environment that kept my daughter motivated and engaged! If you want a tutor who will be able to genuinely elevate your child's confidence and skills, look no further - she is absolutely fantastic!

Victoria C
Victoria has built a fantastic relationship with my son (with ASD) tutoring him for his English GCSEs. She provides a safe space to ask all the questions that might be uncomfortable in class, and takes the time to listen, helping his confidence and understanding. She has also provided structured answer techniques to support clear exam question responses. Highly recommended!

Ameela R
Ameela tutored my daughter for GCSE English Language and Literature.
Ameela provided a clear and focused approach to these subjects, which my daughter had felt difficult to navigate previously.
The confidence that my daughter developed in both subjects as a result of Ameela’s help was clear to see and developed very quickly.
She understood what she needed to do in order to achieve high marks and what examiners were looking for.
She was clear in what her strengths were and where she needed to focus to boost her grades.
After just a few weeks with Ameela, she got very high 8s in her kicks in January and our fingers are crossed for August!
More widely, the improvement in her English language skills also improved her performance in other essay based subjects and her confidence in writing more broadly so as overall a very positive experience!

Brilliant Tutor, has the experience and knowledge with each of the texts that I needed help with and also had resources for all the texts. I also think that Roy has improved my confidence in English literature, as well as language, and gave the needed guidance on how to excell in each of the texts. I would personally recommend him to anyone needing help and guidance in English literature and language, thanks a lot. ~ Harjot
