From English struggles to stories they love
When your child has someone in their corner who actually gets them, English can stop being a source of stress. Suddenly, they're feeling more comfortable putting their hand up in class, happy to read aloud, and feeling proud of their writing.
This isn't just about preparing for KS2 SATs. It's about building a foundation of confidence that will help them settle into secondary school, ready for whatever comes next.

Michael B
Friendly, enthusiastic English Tutor
I absolutely love what I do, and channel that enthusiasm within each of my lessons. I believe a child can very easily see if a teacher is passionate about what they are teaching, which is why I believe only those who absolutely love their profession should teach. I want to provide the most engaging and challenging lesson for myself, because I hold very high standards for my quality of work, but more importantly, for the child. I want a child to leave each session safe in the knowledge that they have learnt something new that day.I like to approach each session differently, learning what interests...

Carole G
Professional English tutor
Hi, my name is Carole. I worked as a primary school teacher for 19 years and I have been tutoring children from reception to year 8, mainly online, since February 2020. I have worked with many children, helping them to achieve success in SATs, school entrance exams or to gain increased confidence and enjoyment of their subjects in school. I had some recent feedback from a parent, stating that their child had "gone from being scared of maths (and trying to hide it by saying maths is boring) to loving it!" Some of my current students have worked with me for several years, continuing after primary...

Abigail M
Abi has been tutoring my daughter for the past couple of months, and we couldn’t be happier. She is such a kind, friendly, and patient tutor who has made learning something my daughter genuinely looks forward to every week.
Not only are her lessons engaging and enjoyable, but it’s clear that Abi puts a lot of time and effort into preparing for each one. She goes above and beyond outside of the lessons to make sure they’re tailored and well planned, and it really shows.
It’s been wonderful to see my daughter’s confidence grow, and she can’t wait for her lesson each week. I would highly recommend Abi to anyone looking for a caring, dedicated, and fantastic tutor. Thank you for all your hard work!

Fiona H
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.
