Daniel H
We had really happy to found Daniel as English teacher to my son Lucas. my son really enjoys the lessons and really looking forward to class. Daniel is very nice, patient , and highly structured in the way he teaches. After just few lessons, my son has already learnt a lot. Daniel was able to identify the problems that were affecting my son's English results before and clearly explained how to improve them which has given him much more confident. We truly appreciate Daniel's professional approach, clear guidance, and encouragement. Highly recommend for students who want to improve their English skills and writing ability.

Highly recommended GCSE English tutor!

Donald S
We only wish we had found Donald a few weeks earlier. He was able to place the methodology, exam technique and essay-writing style into a context that truly engaged our son and helped him understand the material more clearly. As a result, his independent revision became far more structured, much higher in quality and, most importantly, far less of a chore. We worked with Donald for A-level Combined English, and our son’s exam experience was the best it has ever been. We are extremely grateful for Donald’s support, and I have no doubt that the time he spent with our son, together with the more focused revision that followed, helped him feel significantly more confident going into his exams.

Rhian P
Rhian has a formal approach that ensures the hour is packed. My daughter has started to struggle with English and claims to hate it. She has used snippets of tips from Rhian at school and seems to be more positive about the subject of late. I have stopped the tutoring for now and will look to pick up from year 9.
