Tatiana S
Practical English Tutor
Many GCSE students understand vocabulary and grammar but struggle to use Spanish confidently in exams. Speaking feels stressful, writing lacks structure and listening often becomes guesswork. This leads to low confidence and inconsistent results, even in students who are capable.My GCSE lessons are structured, calm and exam-focused. I break Spanish down clearly and show students exactly how to build speaking answers, how to write in a way that meets exam criteria and how to approach listening papers with effective strategies. Grammar is explained simply and practiced in context, so students know...

Keely S
My daughter has been having lessons with Keely since April to help her gain confidence in working towards her English GCSE.
Keely listened to our concerns around the support she needs and seemed to fully understand and normalise this.
My daughter enjoys the sessions and is starting to increase her confidence around structuring her responses to exam style questions. Keely always gives feedback following the session and sends a copy of the work covered.
We would highly recommend Keely.

Fiona has been an amazing tutor for my 11-year-old. She comes to every session with clear lesson plans, while still adjusting the lessons to suit my child’s needs and keeping them fun and confidence-building.
I’ve already seen a real improvement in my child’s handwriting, and their confidence has grown so much too. Fiona is always encouraging and full of praise, which really helps motivate and support learning.
She also gives fantastic feedback after each session, along with helpful things to work on during the week. I would highly recommend Fiona to anyone looking for a supportive, professional, and engaging tutor.

Deborah J
I have had Deborah as a tutor for the past 2 years and she has taken me from a low grade 6 to a comfortable grade 8, while consequently boosting my confidence as an English student. She is lively and allows teaching to be fun and enjoyable. I have gone from dreading to open an English assessment to being able to confidently walk out my past 3 English GCSE exams knowing I have given it my everything. I have learnt many notable skills as her student that I wish to take with me past Year 11. I couldn't recommend her enough! Thank you so much for these past years and I will miss our lessons.
