A lot of tutors are university students or have a day job, which can draw attention away from their tutoring. I however, as a full time tutor, am...

Jessica has been an amazing tutor for me and has really helped me grow in confidence and become much more independent in my studies. She explains things clearly, is always patient and supportive, and encourages me to think for myself rather than just giving answers. Thanks to her guidance, I've made great progress over the past year. I highly recommend this lovely tutor to anyone looking for a dedicated and encouraging teacher!

Clive T
Clive is a fantastic tutor. He tutored my daughter for German GCSE. He is engaging, knowledgeable and encouraging. My daughter is dyslexic and was not confident in her German and Clive did a great job of building her confidence with clear helpful explanations of key grammar and vocabulary. My daughter enjoyed her sessions with Clive and would definitely recommend him!

Manuel M
My son started tutoring with Manuel about 4-5 mths lead up to his Business Studies exam. His grounding was weak and he found the questions difficult to structure. He connected with Manuel from the first lesson, and Manuel methodically worked with him on both papers. By the time he got to the exam he felt much more confident and is sad not to be having more tutoring. He says Manuel is an awesome tutor who was patient, attentive, yet knows when to challenge. He is also invested and cares about his students and gives great feedback to parent and student. I am very grateful to Manuel for getting him through the exam when he was really ready to give up, and thoroughly recommend him as a Business Studies tutor.
