Lucy F
I went from grade 2 in english language in my mocks to a grade 7 in 7 months of tutoring. Each lesson had been incredibly useful. By the time of my exams, Lucy's predictions for both the english language and literature papers on what the questions would be on, and what poem would appear on the paper, had also been incredibly useful. As her predictions had been almost entirely correct and the preparation for the paper using them had meant i was fully prepared for the questions that came up, and prepared for any other questions on potential themes, topics or poems that could come up.

Izzy S
Izzy tutored my daughter in English language and English literature GCSE. She had been predicted two grade 6s but achieved a grade 7 and a grade 8 and I have no doubt that Izzy played a huge part in her success. Izzy is an extremely kind, patient and supportive tutor who prepares every lesson meticulously and provides both challenging but engaging tasks. She really understands the mark scheme of all the papers so is able to ensure her students truly grasp what is actually being assessed. I can absolutely recommend Izzy as a tutor.

Ruth M
Ruth is an amazing tutor. She took my daughter from a worryingly low grade (2's and 3's) to a strong pass (5) with a merit in a short space of time. English wasn't my daughters favourite subject and she not only did she struggled with the subject but didn't enjoy it at all. That all changed after Ruth's lessons. She suddenly started showing an interest and really to looked forward to her lessons with Ruth. Ruth is very engaging and my daughters confidence grewsubstantially during the course of the study. I am so impressed with Ruth as a tutor, she pulled my daughter back from the brink and installed a love of English literature in particular.
I only wish I found Ruth sooner. I highly recommend Ruth as a tutor. Thank you Ruth for your help.

Kevin A
Kevin was my English tutor for only a few months but the progress that I was able to make before my GCSE exams was extraordinary. Each session was personalised to where I was struggling and my homework was meaningful and provided support and revealed areas to work on. Alongside this Kevin was always so welcoming and nice and made learning so much more enjoyable.
