Roxy has been an absolutely wonderful tutor. She is warm, very engaging, and clearly highly competent. Our son genuinely loved his lessons with her and always looked forward to them, which says a lot. We could see his confidence grow, and his writing abilities improved noticeably over a short period of time. Roxy has a fantastic way of connecting with children while still challenging them and helping them make real progress.

Matthew has been amazing with my son is building his confidence in his KS3 English & Creative Writing by skills. My son has ASD/PDA and is currently in home education, so I needed a patient and understanding tutor, who could also encourage my son and help him develop his existing writing skills / text. Feedback from my son is that Matthew is really knowledgable and is great at moving him beyond his comfort zone!

Ifa M
Life changing experience!
I would like to express my appreciation for Ifa’s exceptional teaching skills in helping my son learn English. Ifa brings a wonderful combination of fun, knowledge, and experience to every lesson, making the learning process both enjoyable and highly effective. She engages with my son attentively throughout the entire session, ensuring that he remains focused and motivated without even realising how much he’s learning.
What truly stands out is Ifa’s ability to explain complex concepts in a way that my son immediately grasps. No other teacher has been able to reach him as clearly as Ifa has, and I was genuinely impressed by how quickly he picked up many ideas he had previously struggled with.
Not only has my son made tremendous progress, but I’ve also learned from Ifa. She has shown me the best ways to support my son’s learning journey, tailored specifically to his individual needs. Her guidance has been invaluable, and I’m grateful for the positive impact she’s had on both of us.
Thank you, Ifa!

Can a Writing tutor help my child achieve top GCSE grades for schools like Bridgewater High or Lymm High?

They can work with your child on advanced essay techniques, critical analysis, and sophisticated vocabulary, all crucial for securing those top GCSE grades (7-9) in English Language and Literature.
How can a Writing tutor prepare my child for competitive sixth forms like Priestley College and Russell Group universities?
A strong foundation in writing is essential for these next steps. Our tutors focus on developing the advanced analytical and argumentative skills needed for demanding, essay-based A-Levels. This preparation helps your child confidently tackle university applications and thrive in a Russell Group environment, like at Manchester or Liverpool.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we excel in academic subjects like Writing, Maths, and Science for 11+, GCSE, and A-Levels, we also offer tutors for a wide range of skills. Your child could learn a new language, an instrument like guitar, coding, or even develop skills for personal projects or hobbies.
