Gemma started tutoring my 9 year old daughter in English and Maths last September. At this point my daughter was having many struggles academically and had lost all confidence and no longer wanted to try to achieve good marks at school. Nearly a year on and having just received her school summer report I am ecstatic to read a 100% turnaround. Both my daughter’s maths and English teachers have stated how proud she should be of how far she has progressed in just one year and the change in her confidence and abilities and how they have grown. Previously scoring below average, my daughter is now scoring higher than average. This is down to this amazing tutor Gemma, my daughter has ADHD and suffers with concentration and remaining in the zone for periods of time. Gemma has built her confidence to attempt work independently and has been so patient with her even when her concentration has lacked and has done her upmost to keep her engagement. I am eternally grateful as Gemma reversed my daughters outlook on school work and is has been fantastic to watch her strive thanks to her tutoring. My daughter looks forward to her sessions, Gemma had a natural ability to relate with your child that clearly makes learning enjoyable and not a chore. I am that pleased with the progress made that even though we are relocating to Cyprus I am continuing sessions with Gemma. The biggest thank you Gemma, your hard work and dedication to supporting children is commendable and I would strongly recommend your teaching skills to all parents out there looking to support their child’s academic growth and understanding. I have seen my child excel under Gemma, I would look no further this teacher is the one!

Lyndsey is a really supportive and enthusiastic tutor who has helped my daughter to learn at her own pace and solidify her knowledge in A level biology. She has been excellent and I would highly recommend her!

Nandan has been supporting my son with his A levels maths. My son has found his sessions to be really beneficial and said he is an excellent teacher. Many thanks Nandan!

Eloise has been amazing. My daughter was really struggling with a certain topic of History. After a few sessions with Eloise she understood it a whole lot better, to the point that it helped her to achieve a higher than expected grade in her A-Level mock exam. We will definitely be going back to Eloise in the future if she has similar topics that she needs extra tuition with. Thanks so much Eloise !!

Muneebah has been very helpful for GCSE English for my son. She is an excellent teacher and has helped my son a lot in explaining ways to answer a question, she provides practice materials as well which is really helpful.

I want to say a big thank you to Colette for all her help in tutoring my brother! She always responds in a timely manner, and would encourage him to write questions which she would go through with him in the lesson. She is very warm and open, and I have seen a big improvement in my brother’s French quality (both in reading and writing) as well as his confidence. A big thank you Colette!

Tatiana is a very good tutor, she is always positive, encouraging and well prepared. My son enjoyed her lesson very much. My son learnt a lot from her and he got much more confidence on Spanish.

My daughter was unable to take GCSE Geography through her school, so we decided to pursue it privately. Initially, we had some reservations about whether an online approach would be effective for a full qualification, so we arranged an introductory meeting with Caroline, who immediately put us at ease. Having now completed her first block of lessons, we’ve found Caroline to be highly knowledgeable, personable, and engaging. Her explanations are clear, she uses well-structured, professional resources, and she tailors her teaching to both the child’s strengths and the demands of the curriculum. We would highly recommend her to anyone considering online tuition.
