What happens if you fail English language GCSE?

Sarah has a natural talent for meeting children at their level, putting them at ease and explaining tricky concepts in a way that demystifies them. Most importantly, my daughter loves the sessions!

Rachel, you have really embraced the role and been a tremendous asset to us, an absolute pleasure to work with.

Suzie has been tutoring my 7-year-old for several months, and I can’t recommend highly enough. Not only has his English and maths improved, but his confidence has, too. Suzie adapts her teaching style to my son's mood and really manages to connect with him every week.

Sarah is an excellent tutor (and a truly lovely person). Her lessons are well prepared and she's superb at engaging our daughter and getting the best out of her. We were apprehensive our daughter wouldn't engage with online lessons, but Sarah has made them fun, interesting and immersive. Our daughter is always excited to see Sarah!

Could not recommend enough! Suzie motivated and reassured our son throughout the entire 11-plus process. And results were outstanding.

We are pleased with this group arrangement to provide that extra support and polish for our ambitious children. After two lessons, the feedback is positive, and our daughters already think very highly of Mr DT, who is experienced, organised and demanding.

Helen has been amazing, my daughter has been 100% engaged with the tutoring process and this is no doubt down to Helen approach. In a short space of time she has assessed my daughter's education level and identified key area to work on. Both my daughter and I find her easy to work with and the pace she has set is challenging but achievable. We are very fortunate to have found her!

Teaching, coaching and guiding are basics of teaching. But transforming a student is next level. I write this as a proud parent whose son chose business studies at the end of first term in GCSE, warned to be below standard and advised to take foundation exam by the school has now ended up with Grade 8. This transformation happened only bcoz of Ms. Begum. Her method of teaching, spotting the gaps in my son’s knowledge, identifying his weak areas (writing answers appropriately for the marks and managing time) and make work to get over those were all simply superb. We feel a great sense of gratitude towards Ms. Begum for her efforts and making my son achieve a good milestone. Thanks a lot Ms. Begum. Praying to almighty to bless you with good health and long life do you can keep transforming more young lives.

I highly recommend Claire. She taught my son History GCSE for a year and he managed to get an A. She is very professional, friendly and very approachable. My son loved the lessons with her and when he asked for extra help and resources she was always very supportive.

We are delighted with this set up and our two boys are improving in skills and confidence. Mrs L is an excellent teacher for them and is making them work hard.

Libby began giving our son extra tutoring in Y11 and for approximately one academic year. Though this was an hour of extra tuition once a week, mainly during term-time, our son found it very useful as this helped him improve from the region of grade 4s/5s in Y10 to 7-9s in Y11. It was very helpful in improving specific aspects of the subject which required more help. It also improved his confidence in the subject. The lessons were online but our son found them similar in quality to in-person lessons. There were a range of different activities, resources and homework. Libby came across, very organised, evident in term dates and times provided ahead of time and lesson plans for the lessons. She was also professional. I also received feeback, some by request and others from Libby's initiative. All in all, I would recommend Libby as a good French tutor if you're looking for tutoring for your child.

Benjamin is a brilliant teacher. Really does help you find the easier ways of trying to work out a question. Sent up small weekly tasks which are brilliant even if you work full time. I would recommend Benjamin to anyone who is sitting maths. Absolutely brilliant.

We are delighted with our new 11+ teacher and the very positive response from our children.

Bernadette is amazing and very supportive. He helped my son with his GCSE Maths. She is very professional and friendly. I highly recommend her.

My daughter has been seeing Mr Franklin for quite some time, having twice-weekly sessions. When he first started, she was scoring around 30% in her mental maths test at school and really struggled. Last week, she scored 90%. Mr Franklin has found out what my daughter's learning style is and tailored it to her needs - as a result, she has made unprecedented progress. I would highly recommend him to anyone that is looking, without a doubt.

Mrs D has tutored my daughters for three years. She is very intuitive with children and has an excellent ability to communicate and motivate. She is organised and structured but also fluid to help with girls' concerns regarding their schoolwork. I reached out to her because they were below where they should be for their age in some topics, which was affecting their confidence. They are now where they should be for their age and above in some subjects, which is evidence of her ability as a teacher. I would highly recommend her.

Patient and creative - highly recommended. Paul has been tutoring my 8-year-old son in Chinese for a few weeks now. It is not an easy job, and his approach has been creative, engaging and impressively patient. Paul has worked hard to establish a relationship and has used a range of different methods to keep my son’s interest. I would highly recommend Paul as a tutor.

Having experienced other tutors, we feel that we have "struck gold" with Mrs G. She creates a calm and peaceful atmosphere which promotes learning and has helped my son and his friend catch up. He is happy to attend and is much more confident in his learning in school.

Sandra was my tutor (both in person and online) for around 6 months to help prepare me for my university speaking exams. She was warm, helpful and encouraging. She was not only instructive in correcting my grammar and pronunciation but she also boosted my confidence in speaking, which was my main goal. She was an incredible tutor, who made learning and speaking languages less nerve-wracking and more fun!

Libby tutored my daughter before her GCSEs, and I can't recommend her highly enough! She is very professional to deal with, knowledgeable about the subject and a great teacher, as well as patient and supportive to the student. She calmly encouraged S, and gave her a boost of confidence and skills, which helped her to gain excellent GCSE results. We are so grateful for her and would definitely recommend her to others.

Anvita is very easy to talk to and patient in responses to my son’s questions; the sessions give him time to clarify any areas of maths he is struggling with. My son said that the sessions were very helpful with revisiting topics from school and will definitely improve his grades long term.

Tina worked with our son Hamish from primary school year four to year six, during which time Hamish not only improved measurably in his reading, English and mathematics but also grew in self-confidence. Hamish improved on all levels from starting out as ‘emerging’ to obtaining ‘expected’ grades in his SATs. Tina supported us in diagnosing Hamish’s dyslexia, and her patient but professional and persistent approach was definitely the key to his improvement, particularly given the disruption at school as a result of the Covid pandemic. I would be very happy to recommend Tina to others looking for additional support for their children.

Francis is a highly productive tutor and got my 12 year-old boy on the right track after tremendous efforts. My son has been learning pretty much within a very short period of time. We hope to come back to him as soon as possible after a break.

We found her very friendly and supportive. Well organised and knowledgeable, not only in economics but general academic advice. Great support to my son in his A-Level Economics. I would highly recommend it and have no issues with asking Afiya again to support him if we had to do it again.

Excellent, so much so that we have added two more children to the group. Our 11+ teacher is first-rate and knows everything. She is completely organised and our children look forward to the lessons. It is just like having our own Mary Poppins.

Marco is a very experienced and encouraging teacher. He is very patient and includes interesting information about Italy and Italian culture. Marco puts you at your ease

Joanna has been an outstanding teacher for our son, who has special needs relating to autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Her work and interventions have made a huge difference in the early stages of his development and education (ages 4 to 6). Our son was diagnosed with ASD during the COVID-19 lockdown, during a time when it was difficult to get help from the usual channels. Joanna engaged with our school and provided information to the Council, making it possible for our voices to be heard. She quickly developed a bond and found ways to communicate with and help our son, making a positive difference at home and at school. We recommend Joanna very highly, both as a teacher and a specialist for children with special needs.

Our daughter and her three school friends are enjoying this very much. They are all very bright girls, capable and keen to do well. Their new 11+ teacher, Annabelle, is first-class - very experienced, organised, and knowledgable. Thank you for everything.

Mrs Fotopoulou has given our daughter much more confidence in her sciences and Jodie is getting alot out of the tutor sessions. We are very happy with the homework being set and the lessons.

I highly recommend Mrs Wilson. She had been teaching my child (Nathan) for a few months. I can see his performance has improved, and he is getting more confident in solving maths problems. I am impressed. Thanks, Joanna, for all your effort and time.

Lynda has been my Latin tutor for about two years. To begin with, I was studying Latin out of interest, but Lynda encouraged me to aim for a GCSE, which I am pleased to say, with her help, I achieved this summer, getting a high grade despite being well into my seventies! Lynda is an excellent tutor. She has a life-time’s experience both as a teacher and examiner in classics. She makes learning Latin interesting while at the same time laying the foundations for a good qualification.

Ben taught my daughter through her A Levels (she ended up with an A*), and we couldn't recommend him more highly. He was very supportive throughout the process and gave excellent practical advice covering both on technique and the application of the mark scheme.

Andy built a good rapport with my child, increasing her interest in science and its application in the real world. Her final GCSE result far exceeded her predicted grade directly due to Andy's support.

Great! Paul has been providing private maths sessions to help my son gain confidence and prepare for his GCSEs. My son has ADHD and dyslexia, and he has found Paul to be very patient and work at his own pace throughout his lessons. I would highly recommend.

What an excellent arrangement this group tuition is. Our four daughters enjoy having their own private Chemistry teacher work with them to ensure top grades next year. Mrs Latham is an excellent Chemistry teacher. We know that they are all in very good hands.

Sarah is a very knowledgeable teacher, who can put a shy student at ease very quickly. My daughter started her weekly course with Sarah from Year 10 for GCSE French. We really appreciate the in-person tuition on writing, oral and listening French. My daughter has gained a lot of confidence and ability due to Sarah's great teaching. Her predicted grade for GCSE is nine thanks to Sarah.
