Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

How can an online tutor help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one session, your child has the tutor's full attention. They can ask questions without feeling embarrassed, work at their own pace, and celebrate small wins, which all helps to build their self-belief.

We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! From learning to play the guitar or piano to developing skills in coding and Python, there are tutors available to support your child's hobbies and interests too.
How often should my child have a tutoring session?
Most parents find that a one-hour session per week is ideal for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange sessions as often as you need, whether that's a one-off session for exam prep or more frequent lessons.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to keep you in the loop. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss your child's progress. Often, the first sign is your child feeling more positive and confident about their English lessons at school.
What equipment do we need for an online lesson?
It's very straightforward. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. There's no special software to download as everything runs in your web browser.
