Robyn L
Robyn has 100% been the best tutor i have ever had in my life! I used to hate English Lit and English Language but because of her i love it, i even ended up picking English lit as one of my A levels because of how much she transformed my love for English. i had little confidence in myself and always thought i would be bad at english, but she showed me and taught me that it didn’t have to be like that. i was predicted U’s for as long as i can remember but because of Robyn i ended up getting two 6’s in my final GCSE grade being only 6 and 8 marks away from getting two 7’s. i could not have done this without her and would recommend her to anyone!

She is honest, organised, reporting detailed feedback, and well timed using of the lesson. She helped him to gain back his confidence in English subject. I recommended her to all of our friends, as she is well deserved.
