Amanda S

Amanda is a fantastic English tutor. She is really engaging and made what was a stressful subject fun. My child is not a keen learner but Amanda's approach has helped them to commit to the extra lessons and improve their understanding of what is needed in KS3.

Ameela R

Ameela tutored my daughter for both English Language and Literature for the recent GCSE’s. These were subjects that my daughter found challenging and Ameela made a huge difference to her ability to tackle both subjects. Ameela provided a framework to enable structured answers and her experience meant that she understands what is required by examiners to achieve high grades. The regular and focused work that Ameela did with my daughter was crucial in enabling her to get to grips with the subjects. Ameela always has a plan for lessons and the regular help and expertise provided enabled by daughter to achieve a 9 in Eng Lit and an 8 in Eng Language which was an amazing result! More importantly, over the course of the preparations, Ameela gave my daughter the confidence and skills that will be invaluable to her as she continues with sixth form.

Rob R

I would like to thank Rob for helping my daughter with both English Language and English Literature at her GCSEs. She achieved Grade 7 in both the English subjects and I have Rob to thank for that for guiding and supporting her to achieve the results, along with providing valuable tips. Rob is a wonderful teacher who manages to quickly establish a rapport with the student which helps in the course of study. I would definitely recommend Rob for GCSE lessons in English Language and Literature.

Hannah is a fantastic tutor. She supported my son over 3 months in structuring answers to questions in both English Language and Literature papers. She was knowledgeable, flexible and adapted lessons to his needs. She set relevant homework and provided very helpful feedback. All this enabled my son to go from grades 5&6 in mocks to 7&9 in his summer GCSE examinations. A really brilliant achievement

Anna C

Sonny’s forecast grades in both English Language and Literature had always been a 5. He was desperate for a 6 in each subject so that he could study Law at BHASVIC. He had lessons with Anna March-May, about weekly. He got a 7 in his English Language and Literature GCSEs - his English Teacher at Dorothy Stringer was extremely pleased but absolutely staggered! Whether it was confidence, self belief, exam strategy that you helped him with Anna he exceeded expectations. THANK YOU
