their tutors made a difference
Find a tutor Helena P
Helena provided marking and moderation support for my homeschooling of my 11-year-old son, checking his performance on assignments and identifying areas needing attention. Her input was enormously helpful: constructive, comprehensive, and demonstrating a careful, attentive engagement with the work. She also approached her interactions with my son with great enthusiasm and genuine interest in his perceptions and progress, helping set a positive tone for his learning. The effect of this was clear in his response and engagement. I would recommend Helena wholeheartedly to anyone seeking support and assistance with primary school learning.

Tina W
I would highly recommend Tina for maths tutoring as she was incredibly knowledgeable and my son was really happy with her teaching style.
He had struggled moving to a new private school who had placed him into foundation level maths but after working regularly with Tina, he gained a lot more confidence swiftly moving into the higher paper set and went up multiple grades.
Having worked with a few different tutors, my son couldn’t speak highly enough of her lessons and always came away much happier, more confident and saying he felt she taught really well.
From a parent’s perspective, Tina was very professional, organised, flexible and I genuinely felt she cared about my son’s grades. Thank you again, you are a fantastic teacher.

Caroline W
I was failing and struggling in Higher English and was not understanding it at all. At the start of January I got Caroline as a tutor who improved my grade to a D in my prelim and eventually a B in the exam. I could not recommend Caroline more as she saved my English grade. She taught me short cuts and formulas to answer the questions and went through how my answers were wrong. This made me understand English even more than I did at Nat 5 so overall she is the best teacher you can have if you are struggling.

Amirhossein S
We are having a fantastic experience with Amir this summer. He took time to understand the boys’ strengths and gaps, and has created Maths sessions that genuinely build their confidence ahead of Year 9. The sessions are structured, engaging, and communication is excellent. The boys are making real progress; evident both in their own feedback and in his. Highly recommend!

John C
John is a wonderful teacher. I had very poor knowledge about excel, but the way he constructs lessons and describes material is amazing and very effective. I was afraid that I’ll need much more time and will have more challenges during the learning, but not with this teacher. His lessons are engaging and personalised. So I’ll definitely recommend this tutor!
