  be doing something else is a massive credit to your work and manner.’ (O’s dad, year 6.)

This grade was deciding if i will get to the University or not. I was absolutely hopeless and about to give up, but just a few lessons with Elizabeth gave me such a great confidence and knowledge of what i have to do when I will be at the exam. The way how she structured her lessons was amazing! Also a very positive and kind person who made me to belive in myself. Her knowledge of what she is doing is amazing. Such a clever person a experienced teacher. She told me what I could not find on any website. I am so so happy that when I was choosing personal tutor I  found her.  100% recommend it to everyone!

• ‘Elizabeth was an excellent tutor for my son doing his GCSE English Literature in Y10 and helped him to achieve his challenge target of a Level 7 (A) in the new exams. Elizabeth has a great manner with her students, is very knowledgable, always on time, well prepared and very easy to communicate with. Due to time/ travel constraints the lessons were done via Skype which worked perfectly.’ (B’s mum, year 10).
• ‘We found Elizabeth to be an excellent tutor. She taught my daughter A level English Literature helping and supporting her at a time when her confidence was at an all time low and time was running out before her exam. She was extremely knowledgeable about the texts and I am certain that her fantastic exam result of a B (which was 2 grades higher than predicted) was down to Elizabeth’s fantastic teaching.’ (K’s mum, year 13.)
• ‘Elizabeth is a very experienced tutor. Very well-prepared, patient, knowledgeable and passionate about her subject. She is reliable, always on time and helpful. I would highly recommend her.’  (A’s mum, year 8, homeschooled.)
• ‘I am delighted with the progress that my son made with Liz. He had one lesson a week from January to April in order to help him with his GCSE English. He was achieving D grades in most of his controlled assessments and his mock exam result was a D. He wasn’t keen when I suggested a tutor but thanks to Liz it wasn’t a chore for him and I never had problems getting him there!  She is enthusiastic, friendly and she definitely gave him more confidence in his abilities both in Language and Literature. She made him feel at ease and she carefully planned work for him enabling him to progress a whole grade in both Language and Literature. She even managed to make him laugh and smile, something that he never imagined he would do whilst doing English! He was so pleased when he opened his GCSE results to see that he had a C in both of his English exams!  I am so thrilled with how Liz has helped my son that I have already recommended her to two of my friends, who will be needing GCSE tuition for their sons in the future!’  (J’s mum, year 11.)
• ‘Liz was a great help to my daughter in the run up to her A level English literature exam. She provided advice and help and was always willing to read coursework or practise exam papers. Above all she really cared about her subject and her tutees – something which came across right from the start.’ (A’s mum, year 13.)
• ‘Liz really helped my daughter before her GCSE resit.  She went from an E to a B after only 8 lessons, securing her path to university. Liz has a good manner and understanding of young people giving them the confidence and knowledge to pass the exam. Thanks for the help, she could not have done it with out you.’ (J’s mum, year 12.)
