Catherine C
Our daughter (8) has really started to flourish with Catherine's support. She enjoys a mixture of reading, spellings and Spanish in each of her sessions, with the readings tailored towards her passion for science. Her weekly tutoring sessions have had a positive impact upon her confidence, with noticeable progression at school moving up a reading group for example.
I would highly recommend Catherine for her energetic and fun approach to learning which has suited our daughter perfectly.

Erin H
Erin is an amazing tutor! My daughter’s confidence has dramatically improved since her lessons with Erin, and her grades in both English language and literature have soared. My daughter (Y11) says Erin is very kind and patient, explains concepts really clearly and makes sure she understands everything covered in each lesson. My daughter’s ability to analyse texts and structure her writing has really taken off with Erin’s help. Erin has also given her lots of handouts and resources relevant to her GCSE exam board, and has offered to mark her written work if needed. My daughter really enjoys English now, and is considering taking English literature at A level! I can’t praise Erin highly enough, and would recommend her to anyone.
