Jessica L
Through Jess’s considered guidance my child (Year 11) has gone from achieving sevens and sixes in her GCSE work to nines. My child’s confidence, with both Literature and Language, has grown enormously. She’s learnt how to effectively analyse texts and construct skilled essays, and her creative writing has flourished. We’d thoroughly recommend Jess. A wonderful teacher.
