Find a tutor Ian S
Ian has been a very supportive and versatile tutor for Agastya, helping him with both English and Maths during his GCSE preparation.
He was particularly helpful with exam technique, written responses and building confidence in English, where Agastya achieved Grade 9. He also provided valuable support in Maths, helping him work through more challenging areas and achieve a strong Grade 8.
We really appreciated Ian’s patience, reliability and commitment throughout the GCSE period and would be very happy to recommend him.

Michelle H
Michelle is a fantastic tutor! Our daughter was struggling with GCSE English language and literature, achieving a 3 in both during the mocks. Michelle worked patiently and methodically with her, teaching course content, exam techniques, and crucially, building her confidence. She achieved a 6 in the end and we are very grateful to Michelle for all the support given to our daughter. It was exactly what she needed. We would not hesitate to recommend Michelle!

Lucy F
I went from grade 2 in english language in my mocks to a grade 7 in 7 months of tutoring. Each lesson had been incredibly useful. By the time of my exams, Lucy's predictions for both the english language and literature papers on what the questions would be on, and what poem would appear on the paper, had also been incredibly useful. As her predictions had been almost entirely correct and the preparation for the paper using them had meant i was fully prepared for the questions that came up, and prepared for any other questions on potential themes, topics or poems that could come up.

Izzy S
Izzy tutored my daughter in English language and English literature GCSE. She had been predicted two grade 6s but achieved a grade 7 and a grade 8 and I have no doubt that Izzy played a huge part in her success. Izzy is an extremely kind, patient and supportive tutor who prepares every lesson meticulously and provides both challenging but engaging tasks. She really understands the mark scheme of all the papers so is able to ensure her students truly grasp what is actually being assessed. I can absolutely recommend Izzy as a tutor.

Ruth M
Ruth is an amazing tutor. She took my daughter from a worryingly low grade (2's and 3's) to a strong pass (5) with a merit in a short space of time. English wasn't my daughters favourite subject and she not only did she struggled with the subject but didn't enjoy it at all. That all changed after Ruth's lessons. She suddenly started showing an interest and really to looked forward to her lessons with Ruth. Ruth is very engaging and my daughters confidence grewsubstantially during the course of the study. I am so impressed with Ruth as a tutor, she pulled my daughter back from the brink and installed a love of English literature in particular.
I only wish I found Ruth sooner. I highly recommend Ruth as a tutor. Thank you Ruth for your help.
