Janine H
Online Tutor for English KS2 to GCSE.
Over the past 20 years, I have had the opportunity to develop my teaching skills, gaining valuable experience in teaching learners who need extra support to overcome barriers to achieving. I am aware of issues affecting some learners which can and have over ridden their choice and chance of participating in education. My qualifications such as BA(Hons) Degree in Education where I used Autism in the classroom as my Dissertation, Certificate in Education, L3 Awareness in ASD and L5 Adult Specialist in English , are necessary to implement resources to motivate such barriers and complex needs, including...

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

Georgina B
I found Georgina when we began our home educating journey. She is extremely knowledgeable and experienced, with a deep understanding of how children learn. My daughter had formal lessons on comprehension and grammar, as well as sessions that encouraged creativity, exploration, and cross-curricular learning. Georgina used my daughterās interests to teach concepts and often connected English with art and photography, making each lesson engaging and meaningful.
She was always very patient and kind, creating a calm, positive atmosphere where my daughter felt comfortable and able to learn at her own pace. The home activities she set were thoughtful and reinforced what had been covered in my daughterās lessons.
I highly recommend her because educators with her level of insight and creativity are rare, and she truly understands how to teach children in a way that works for them.

Sutandra C
We couldn't be happier with Sutandra! He has been tutoring our son for his GCSE Physics preparation, and the results in just three months are incredible.
āSutandra has a real gift for making complex concepts clear and engaging. We've seen a significant, measurable improvement in his grades, but even more importantly, his entire attitude toward the subject has transformed. Our son now approaches Physics with genuine enthusiasm and confidence, a change we hadn't thought possible. We highly recommend Sutandra to any parent looking for an effective and inspiring tutor.
