Abigail (Y7 Student)
“Gayle helped me so much when taking my English GCSE retake. I felt little pressure when I worked with her, the atmosphere of the tutoring didn’t feel like a boring English lesson it felt really productive. She was so patient with me and when I made a mistake, she reassured me that it wasn’t a bad thing, she told / showed me how to correct and improve on my mistakes. I wouldn’t have got through my English without her help and expertise.”
Sebastian (Y11 Re-sit Student)
“Your lessons helped me so much. I’m glad we chose you for my tutoring. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me. You were great and I got great results!”
James (GCSE Student)
“Mrs Knowles taught me techniques and strategies which not only boosted my confidence but also helped to raise my grades. Her patient and thorough teaching style has really improved my English. The one-to-one online lessons were especially helpful in identifying my weaknesses and showing me how to improve them.”
Oishani (GCSE student)
Parent feedback
“Gayle provided the most fantastic support and advice when our son’s GCSE results were poorer than anticipated. As parents we needed swift guidance on the options available, how to find appropriate courses and generally about the UK education system. We had no idea what to do for the best, but with Gayle’s insight we were able to move forward and feel far more positive.”
“Gayle provided fantastic support when our son needed to resit his English GCSE. The online one-to-one tuition was ideal: he gained confidence in expressing his ideas and learned how to approach exam questions effectively and where he could gain more marks. After only a few sessions, he sat the exam and passed. We would wholeheartedly recommend Gayle’s online tuition.”
Caroline (Parent)
He was especially pleased with his English grade as it was the one that was worrying him the most and we have you to thank for that … he couldn’t have done it without you.”
