"My son’s school English teacher would often comment how he had great ideas and would actively contribute to class discussion, but his exam scores were not representative of the ability he was showing in class. When faced with an exam essay question, his mind would go blank, he would be unable to organise any thoughts into a structured essay on paper and would run out of time. With Julia’s invaluable input, he can now confidently tackle any question that he is faced with and has been scoring very high marks in school. He is more than prepared for his upcoming GCSEs and I would not hesitate to recommend Julia to anyone requiring English support."
"Julia is clearly passionate about sharing her love of English with her students. She aims to understand each student as an individual to formulate what works well for them, in terms of teaching style and working at their pace to improve their grasp of the subject. She can be very kind and patient when students are struggling but also challenging them in areas where they are more confident. Through her collaborative approach in tackling past exam papers, this has given E greater confidence in approaching the GCSEs, with useful tools and insights to support his preparation for the exams. I’m very happy to recommend Julia to other families."
"If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, patient tutor for an English student who has forgotten how to enjoy the subject, Julia is ideal. She increased my son’s self confidence and supported him to achieve more than he thought possible when he started with her." LB
"Julia has been amazing with my daughter with SEN taking English Literature GCSE! She was highly anxious about the subject, but Julia’s kind approach meant that her confidence really grew and she was so interested in the texts and the poems. I cannot thank Julia enough for the work she has done to help my daughter, her progress has been truly amazing to see!" DW
“Thank you Julia for helping my son re-sit his English language GCSE. He got a grade: 7 and is delighted! My son felt Julia was kind and very patient during the tutoring which made him feel at ease. She spent time assessing areas of improvement and gave him some great techniques for creative writing. Thank you Julia! I won’t hesitate to get you back for my daughter.” SW
"Julia has been tutoring my 15 year old daughter for the last year. She is a wonderful tutor and I can't recommend her highly enough. My daughter really values her calm, considered approach and her ability to tailor every lesson to her individual needs. Julia has a wealth of skills to draw upon and a natural ability to teach in a way that allows an individual to work to the best of their ability. " AT
