Private tuition with experienced tutors in Dumfries.

I am pleased to provide a reference for Sonia, who has been an invaluable tutor to my son, Ashton, throughout his preparation for his GCSE English Language exam. From the outset, Sonia demonstrated a remarkable ability to tailor her teaching approach to Ashton’s individual learning needs. She took the time to understand his strengths and areas for improvement, creating a structured yet flexible lesson plan that consistently motivated and challenged him. Her expert knowledge of the GCSE English Language curriculum, coupled with her engaging teaching style, helped Ashton build confidence and achieve a deep understanding of the material. Sonia’s passion for English and her genuine interest in her students' success are truly evident in every session. She has an excellent ability to explain complex concepts in a clear and approachable manner, making even the most challenging topics accessible. Whether it was refining writing skills, improving his reading comprehension, or preparing for the exam's more specific requirements, Sonia consistently provided Ashton with the tools and techniques he needed to succeed. Her patience and encouragement fostered a positive learning environment, allowing Ashton to thrive. She was always willing to go the extra mile, providing additional resources and offering constructive feedback that helped him refine his skills. As a result, Ashton felt more confident in his abilities and was better equipped to approach his exam with the necessary knowledge and strategies. Sonia's professionalism, dedication, and warm approach make her an outstanding tutor, and I highly recommend her to any student seeking support in English Language. She has been an instrumental part of Ashton’s academic journey, and I am confident that her tutoring has set him up for success in his GCSEs and beyond.

Michael is very dedicated, patient and calm. He has spotted my sons needs very quickly and was able to grab his attention by including games in lessons and provide constant encouragement. I highly recommend him.

Sarah is a fantastic teacher, she is very patient in teaching my SEN daughter. She encourages my daughter reading and even sent us some interesting books for my daughter to read. My daughter loves Sarah’s lesson very much.

Jonathan is a really great tutor, really knowledgeable and very attentive. Our lessons are always well planned and I always receive lots of feedback on my essays which is really helpful. I would recommend Jonathan to anyone studying English.

Excellent so far. Kevin is reliable, and speaks to my son in Economics language. This makes the understanding of the lesson much easier, and his feedback of my sons work has been invaluable. I have a regular lesson booked so hopefully the progress will continue and results will show.

I like her and I think she tries to the maximum to explain the subject in simple way. I wish she could come home but unfortunately she cant and only can do online lessons. Keep helping everyone. Nice and kind lady too.

We highly commend Sophia’s tutoring services. Since she began working with our daughter, her grades have skyrocketed from a C to an outstanding A*. Sophia’s exceptional dedication, passion and commitment, coupled with her great teaching abilities, revitalised our child's confidence and boosted her English skills to her highest potential. As a result, our daughter is now applying for Russell Group Universities. Thank you Sophia once again!

Kind and understanding tutor. Knows her stuff. I learnt more from Aidana about writing essays in one hour than I did with my lecturer in the last 3 years.
