Libby M
I cannot recommend Libby highly enough. So I'll let my Y11 son do it: "Libby is not only great at providing practical guidance for all English topics - literature and language - but also encourages philosophical and ethical discussions about the content, which allowed me to greatly improve my GCSE English grade. I started Year 10 strongly disliking English, but after Libby, I have a real appreciation and liking for the subject - and books and plays in general - to the extent that I am seriously considering English Literature as an A - Level. I am now able to have intelligent conversations about novels, poetry and plays, which is undoubtedly thanks to Libby's tutoring. She has been beyond helpful.

Laura M
II cannot recommend Laura highly enough. She provided targeted support for my 16 year old daughter as she prepared for her GCSEs. English Literature and Language can be daunting but Laura was patient, engaging and structured her lessons perfectly to match her learning pace. My daughter actually learned how to analyse texts critically, structure her essays and manage her time well. I saw a massive boost in her confidence and she went from dreading the subject to feeling well prepared which resulted in a jump in her mock exam results. Thank you for your guidance Laura, your support has been invaluable.
