Raquel A
Supportive and Structured Functional Skills Tutor
Hello and welcome! My name is Raquel and I look forward to meeting you soon. In the meantime, allow me to share with you why I choose to tutor: Mixed memories of middle school and college spring to mind. Excitement bubbling up to return to school after a fun and well spend summer holiday with family and friends. What formed part of the anticipation was the sense of being ready. Ready to sit in class with fellow classmates, ready to take home homework, planning and organising assignments. It may seem as if I had forgotten the stress and pressure I found myself under in the previous school year,...

Anne W
I’ve always struggled with maths and never felt confident in it. However, Anna completely changed that. She listened attentively to my needs and tailored every session to help me prepare for my maths exam. She explained everything clearly and always repeated key concepts when I still didn’t understand. Anna was also very flexible and offered to send me extra worksheets or clarify any confusion anytime I needed it. Thanks again, Anna, for helping me pass my maths exam!

Andrew S
I cannot thank Andy enough for the support and guidance given to my son in preparation for his exam. Thanks to his dedication, encouragement, and effective teaching style, my son not only passed the exam but gained a real understanding and confidence in the subject.
Andy was always patient, well-prepared, and able to explain difficult concepts clearly. The progress my son made in a short amount of time was truly impressive.
If you’re looking for someone reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in their students’ success – look no further. We are incredibly grateful and highly recommend Andy to anyone in need of academic support.

Sonia K
Sonia has helped one of our ESOL students finally achieve their Functional Skills Level 2 English, after many attempts and months of stress. Sonia was kind, patient, and took the time to teach her the underlying English skills, such as grammar, rather than just teaching to pass an exam. Thank you, Sonia!
