My son has been taking Mr. Greg's lessons for over 6 years and has found them useful throughout his primary and secondary school curriculum. He helped my son pass eleven plus with higher standards. His friendly and encouraging nature towards children makes him their favorite teacher. I highly recommend him.

Colette teaches my son, who has ADHD, and her approach has made a real difference to his learning. She is both methodical and flexible, adapting her teaching style to meet his needs while ensuring the sessions remain structured and purposeful. Her lessons are engaging, meaningful, and delivered with patience and understanding, which has helped build his confidence as well as his skills. Colette takes the time to explain concepts clearly and uses strategies that keep him focused and motivated. Most importantly, she creates a positive and supportive learning environment where my son feels encouraged and capable of succeeding.

Phil has been an incredible tutor for my son, Henry. From the very start, Henry has really appreciated Phil’s kind and patient approach. One of the things Henry values most (in Henry's words) is that Phil is flexible in his teaching – he shifts his technique and perspective depending on what works best for Henry, which keeps him engaged and motivated. Henry has gained so much confidence in English that it has now become his favourite subject at school. It’s clear that this transformation comes from the better tools and deeper understanding Phil has given him. After each lesson, Henry feels good about what he has learnt, and he is always ready and enthusiastic for the next session. I am truly grateful for Phil’s support, teaching, and belief in Henry. He hasn’t just helped with subject knowledge, but has taught techniques and approaches that Henry is now applying in school with great success. Another aspect I really appreciate is the thoughtful feedback Phil provides after every lesson. For example, a recent note looked like this: Lesson Feedback What was covered - Continued with extracts from 1984 - Focused on analysing language - Worked through a model answer and independent response How it went “Some really good quote selections from the text. When explaining a quote, it can be useful to take the time to explain the imagery to help add more detail to your answer and then link this to the reader.” This kind of feedback is so valuable - it helps Henry reflect on what went well and shows him where he can grow, while also keeping me in the loop about his progress. Phil's encouragement, adaptability, and clear teaching style have made a huge difference to Henry’s confidence and enjoyment of English.

Rowan is currently helping my daughter with English language as she retakes her GCSE. Rowan prepares the lessons in advance and my daughter finds the lessons really helpful. She adapts the lessons to individual needs. Very good teacher and would highly recommend.

I would absolutely recommend Nadiah to any parent; she made an enormous difference to my daughter’s GCSE English experience. When she first started she was working at grade 4/5 and full of self doubt but with Nadiah’s support and patient teaching she achieved grade 8’s in both Literature and Language. Nadiah’s lessons were always explained clearly, were thorough and progressive, and supported with independent homework tasks. She was always available to give advice and comment on other classwork too and my daughter not only steadily grew in confidence but actually started to enjoy the subject. We are so grateful.

Stephanie is very patient and amazing tutor. My daughter become more confident and improved her English drastically within just three months working with Stephanie. I highly recommend Stephanie to everyone.
