Shauna H
She set really useful and personalised homework’s which allowed me to test and push my skills while also not making it too difficult as to put you off doing them. She also made me a pdf of what we were going to be doing in lesson so that I could come prepared for it. She overall was super friendly and very kind.

Grace B
Grace is an amazing tutor, she really helped my daughter in three key ways. Firstly she lifted her confidence after difficult GCSE results outcomes for her. Secondly, the approach to teaching was well structured, with a great style, plenty of feedback and lesson materials and finally the results speak for themselves moving grades by two whole levels. Thank you and I would certainly recommend Grace.

My son is in his final GCSE year and had no love for English, so I booked Peter in the hope he’d get him through. In the first few weeks my son has gained a loved for English and Shakespeare, I would never have believed it, I’m really impressed and can’t recommend him enough as a tutor !
