Lucy H
Engaging, ambitious and supportive
Hello!! My name is Lucy and I love teaching science as I am a real life scientist! I have been published in Science journals and my work is used across the globe. I always start my lessons with asking how you are and how your week has been. I then recap the topics we covered in previous lessons with a short pop-quiz (low stakes, no pressure at all!) We then mark our quiz and then begin our new content that day. I show you how to do it, we do it together and then you have a go all by yourself!

Making learning memorable
* Book your child in for SUMMER BOOSTER sessions TODAY*- I have had a HUGE increase this year in last minute requests for support, even for the day before the exam...- Many of these young people have been worrying about their GCSEs and A Levels behind closed doors and parents have realised too late that they need support.- If your child is in secondary school or 6th form now and you have any doubt about their independent study skills please consider summer sessions.- I hear all too often that the young people I am working with do not have the skills in order to attempt independent study.

Chris P
Chris is a really patient and knowledgeable A-Level Chemistry tutor. Having been through quitea few chemistry tutors on tutorful before, I settled with Chris as Ifound his style of teaching really worked with me compared to other tutors. Chris' style for me is mainly to focus on understanding the key concepts to ensure I can apply these ideas to the exam effectively, and it is definetely working and I am gaining a lot of confidence very quickly. Would highly recommend.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Natalie G
Highly Recommended Maths Tutor!
Natalie is a fantastic tutor and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. She tailors every lesson to my daughter’s individual needs, and as a visual learner, my daughter finds her sessions engaging, fun, and easy to understand. Natalie prepares each lesson beautifully and always comes with creative ways to explain even the trickiest concepts.
We’ve used tutors for all three of our children over the years, and only Natalie and one other tutor have provided such thoughtful, detailed feedback after every session — something we find extremely valuable.
It’s genuinely hard to find a maths tutor who makes lessons enjoyable, but Natalie does exactly that.
For the first time ever, my daughter actually looks forward to her maths sessions! Her confidence has grown, and so have her skills.
I highly recommend Natalie to any child who struggles with maths or simply wants to strengthen their abilities. Thank you, Natalie, for your dedication and wonderful teaching approach!
