This isn't just about passing an exam for Devonport High or meeting university entry requirements for places like Exeter; it's about seeing them develop the belief that they can master new challenges, ask insightful questions, and truly understand the world around them. That confidence extends far beyond the classroom, shaping their personal growth and future aspirations.

- I hear all too often that the young people I am working with do not have the skills in order to attempt independent study....

Aaliya B
I had miss Aaliyah for 3 months now and she’s a really good teacher and I understand my school work much better now and sometimes even ahead of my class and any topics I have a problem with she helps me and makes me understand it and is very patient with it and I really enjoy the lessons and find that it’s helping my education a lot.

Rosie T
Finding the right maths tutor for my daughter has been quite a journey - she’s never been a fan of the subject and we’ve tried several without much success. That’s what makes our experience with Rosie so different.
My daughter now sticks with sessions willingly and her confidence has grown as much as her skills.
Patient, kind and clearly attuned to how she learns - Rosie really gets her. I’d recommend without hesitation.

Khair U
Khair is a great tutor, she has been tutoring me in a level biology for the past few months and and has improved my confidence, targeted my areas of weakness and explained it in a way that was easy to understand and in line with the mark scheme. She encourages me to do active recall during lessons which I believe has greatly helped me.

Couldn't have asked for a better tutor. It's rare to find one that actually tries to understand the work through your eyes and tailor explanations to your way of thinking. Makes a huge difference to your overall understanding of the subject

Ashton E
When I started with Ashton psychology was my least favourite A-level but she helped to love the topics I once hated and feel confident going into my exams. She made the sessions enjoyable and I wish I started with her earlier.
