Daisy - Samantha- English Literature - A Level
Tuesday June 2025
Daisy was an absolutely fantastic tutor. I went from an E at the start of year 12 to a consistent A/A* student by the end of year 13. I am so grateful for everything Daisy has done for me and I could not ask for a better tutor. Thank you so much again!
David - Sarah- English Literature - A Level

David has been immensely helpful to Holly, I’m glad we made the decision to ask him to tutor. Thank you
Josh - Tessa- English Literature - A Level
Tuesday May 2025
Josh has irreparably raised the bar for every future teacher I go on to have. He has been engaging, clever, and shown genuine interest in my academic (and personal) pursuits. More than just teaching, he has been a true mentor to me during my A Levels. I am so proud of what I have been able to achieve with his help, and feel secure in knowing I can reach out to him in future at uni if I need more guidance. He was my sole teacher for both Philosophy and English Literature A Level, I have now sat all of my exams for both and I feel quite confident in my performance. If you are wondering if Josh is any good, let this be your assurance that he is better.
Hamish - Andrea - English Literature - GCSE
Monday May 2025
Hamish stepped in late in the day to help with GCSE English Literature exam preparation. We had 4 lessons in one week comprising of intensive study and exam technique for An Inspector Calls and Heroes. Hamish was a great tutor; understanding, empathetic and extremely useful. There's no doubt at all that the exam went an awful lot better because of his support. Highly recommended.
Kirsten - Abigail- English Literature - A Level
Monday May 2025
Kirsten has been the best tutor I could have asked for; she has tailored everything to my needs, reignited my love of literature in an academic context, and generally gone above and beyond. I could not recommend her more to anyone and everyone studying GCSE or A level English (the latter of which I studied with Kirsten). She is a wonderful tutor with a genuine love of her subject and if I could rate her ten stars I would! Thank you for everything, Kirsten.
Chris - ada- English Literature - GCSE
Friday May 2025
My daughter really enjoyed this class and appreciated Chris' feedback.
