My daughter needed guidance and reassurance with her English language. Elli straight away understood what my daughter needed and how to work with her to get the best from her. Elli also went through all of the books that she was studying for Literature, this Included her reading the whole of My Name is Leon as it’s a brand new text for GCSE’s and very few schools have chosen to study it. This was dedication and something that we all were extremely grateful for. Elli helped my daughter explore ideas and gain new perspectives for the texts. I would highly recommend Elli, the difference in confidence and mock results was noticeable only after a few sessions.

Alex has been amazing working with my son towards his GCSEs. My son has really enjoyed the sessions and actually complained if it wasn’t on 😂. At the start he was risking now passing let alone getting a good grade. Through Alex s tutoring he has come on massively and seems so much more confident. He is now not only going to pass but now achieve a good grade. I highly recommend him.

Amy has been an incredible support over the past few months. When I began my sessions, I struggled with a significant lack of confidence in my English skills. However, she consistently prioritized my mental health, offering valuable advice and support to help me manage my anxieties. Studying for an English GCSE as an adult felt daunting, but she worked hard to reduce my anxiety and enhance my skills. Throughout my mock exams, I achieved Grade 9s, thanks to her effective teaching, resources, and additional feedback. I am truly grateful for all the support and encouragement. Thanks to her help, I can now progress to my dream course at university! 😊

Vic is a fantastic tutor! Each session, she made the lessons so engaging & tailored to my Son's interests. We couldn't have been happier with the level of tuition. It has helped him enormously!

Robyn has been wonderful for Charlie, has really helped his confidence, she is patient and understood his needs and really has brought out the best in him in the time we have worked with her. Highly recommend.

Rebecca has been amazing, she has been working with my son since April to improve his grade, focusing on techniques to achieve the higher marks, he has never had this level of support and teaching at school and now feels much more confident in his writing skills , he has really enjoyed the lessons and we really appreciate how flexible she has been to accommodate us in a short space of time

Izzy was the perfect tutor to help guide me through re-taking my English language GCSE exams. She helped build my confidence and trust in myself of what I know and can do, as well as being kind and very reassuring which was exactly what I needed! If I wanted to change what we were covering in the lesson she would quickly adapt and change the lesson that she had planed to suit and cover what I felt I needed some more confidence work on. Despite having her own life with having a job, university, and a social life she always managed to make time for me and any questions I had about my work, so much so that even when she was on holiday and took some time off, she continued to help me by marking my work and providing feedback through video calls as well as text message. I would strongly recommend Izzy to tutor you or your child as she has helped me in more ways than one and I am very grateful we found her! - Kayla de witt
