The skills they develop, from critically analysing a quote from 'Macbeth' to crafting a persuasive essay, are the exact skills they'll need for A-Levels and beyond. It builds their ability to think clearly and communicate their ideas with confidence, preparing them for any path they choose.

Hello! I am currently a PGCE history student teaching at a mainstream 11-18 secondary school in London!

Anita S
Anita has adapted very well to my son’s learning needs and has approached the sessions in a way that is both structured and effective. We specifically asked whether she could teach him in a formula-like way, with clear frameworks he could follow in exams, and she has done exactly that.
My son has an EHCP, and Anita has been thoughtful in adapting her teaching to suit the way he processes information. She explains clearly, asks the right questions, and works at a pace that stretches him without overwhelming him. He feels comfortable asking questions in her sessions, which is very important.
She focuses strongly on exam questions and structure, especially the 40-mark question, and my son is already getting better at approaching this. She also sets homework, which helps reinforce the learning between sessions.
Overall, Anita has provided exactly the kind of structured, exam-focused support my son needs, and we are very pleased with the progress he is making in a very short period of time.

Kwaku O
Kwaku is a fantastic tutor. My 15-year-old son says he’s the best tutor he’s ever had. He’s very flexible—if my son needs help with a different subject or wants to adjust the session plan, Kwaku adapts easily and is always incredibly helpful. He’s also very easy to build a rapport with.
We’re absolutely delighted with our tutor. Thank you.
