Experienced online and distance learning tutor

At my previous school our geology department was awarded the best school in the U.K. by the 'Good Schools Guide' for its 'A' Level results!

Amanda S
Amanda is a fantastic English tutor. She is really engaging and made what was a stressful subject fun. My child is not a keen learner but Amanda's approach has helped them to commit to the extra lessons and improve their understanding of what is needed in KS3.

From the very start, I could tell how amazing she is as a teacher. She’s really patient and takes things step-by-step, breaking them down so that everything becomes clear and understandable. Her PowerPoints are really well put together, and she’s been incredibly helpful with my current mocks. As a Year 11 student

Ameela R
Ameela tutored my daughter for both English Language and Literature for the recent GCSE’s. These were subjects that my daughter found challenging and Ameela made a huge difference to her ability to tackle both subjects. Ameela provided a framework to enable structured answers and her experience meant that she understands what is required by examiners to achieve high grades. The regular and focused work that Ameela did with my daughter was crucial in enabling her to get to grips with the subjects.
Ameela always has a plan for lessons and the regular help and expertise provided enabled by daughter to achieve a 9 in Eng Lit and an 8 in Eng Language which was an amazing result!
More importantly, over the course of the preparations, Ameela gave my daughter the confidence and skills that will be invaluable to her as she continues with sixth form.
