Lauren G
Effective tutor
My name is Lauren. I am a current Master's student studying Criminology. I have tutored in GCSE and A-level Geography before online. My then student and I went through his weaker topics a few times. This made sure he was as comfortable and confident as he could be when it came to sitting the exam. I have also tutored in GCSE English; although I don’t offer that service anymore, I similarly approach the teaching. For example, we would discuss relevant quotations and language techniques. Again, focusing on weaker parts at stages, I did make sure to cover as much as possible with both students. T...

Elizabeth A
What can I say but a massive thank you! Our daughter got a 4 in her mocks… and we then found Elizabeth. Result: 9 (and a very strong 9). She helped our daughter understand what the teachers were looking for and helped refocus in a subject we were really struggling with. Thank you!!

Caroline M
We were delighted with Caroline as a tutor. Our daughter struggled with geography and did not enjoy the subject which resulted in her getting poor grades. Caroline helped her with getting back to enjoying the topic first and then worked from there. Each lesson was well prepared. This made a huge difference and she got a grade 8 which didn’t seem possible before we went to Caroline. We could not recommend her highly enough!

Anita S
Anita supported my son through his English GCSE exams. English has never been his strength and he’d struggled to pass mock exams. Anita worked incredibly hard with him, setting homework in between weekly sessions and providing detailed feedback and marks each time. The sessions gave my son the confidence going into his GCSEs and he secured the grades needed for sixth form study. Thank you Anita!
