Information about Jessica

I am including some recent testimonials from clients.

I have tutored Adam in Drama and prepared him for auditions and university interviews since 16/4/16. His mother recently wrote to me to say this:

I am delighted to tell you that Adam has been offered a place at Bedford University. He is thrilled. Thankyou again for your help, he gained his confidence back thanks to you. One very happy young man.

I have tutored Theodora across the range of ten GCSE subjects and supported her with revision technique, exam technique and mock exams since 2016. Her mother has provided this testimonial:

Jessica Garrett came to us as a  tutor for my daughter.  Jessica stayed with us for a number of weeks each school holiday over a period of two years.
Jessica was very pleasant to have around the house, cheerful, helpful and polite.  She was a very good tutor, engaging my daughter in her studies with her enthusiasm and fun.
I would happily recommend Jessica as a tutor or in any role that was making use of her good communication skills.
I wish her the best of luck for the future.
 


I am friendly, approachable, reliable and professional. Feel free to correspond with me on the site and try a lesson. I`m confident that you won`t be disappointed.

This tutor was extremely unreliable, we purchased her details, she called me up once and kept changing the dates and never turned up. This was my daughter`s GCSE year. Very disappointed........

Tutors Response :

I wish to complain back in the strongest terms. I have checked my records and this client asked for a discount. I provided info on my fees and no arrangement was entered into. They decided to purchase my details despite not agreeing to my prices or any arrangement. I am extremely angry that they feel justified in attacking my reputation when we have indeed not met nor put any arrangements in place. In addition this was nearly a year ago during which time they could have found a tutor six months before the GCSEs. I have never met them, do not regard them as a client and do not accept responsibility for their daughter`s GCSEs especially when their main concern appeared to be cost rather than academic prowess.

We found Jessica via TutorHunt when looking for a Tutor for my Son who is in the final year of his English Literature A-Level. He has had 2 lessons, so far, and has been very impressed with Jessica who has inspired him to do well already. We have found Jessica very pleasant to deal with and would recommend her to anyone looking for a good tutor.

Tutors Response :

Thanks Jeanette! I really enjoy teaching Charles and look forward to our future sessions. Much appreciated comments. Thanks.

Unfortunately very unreliable. Several transport issues and change of dates. In the end we didn`t even complete the pre paid for course.

Tutors Response :

I am sad and surprised to read this. I don`t feel it`s entirely fair. Although I did experience transport issues early on, this was resolved with lift arrangements and I believe that I did complete the hours. I mainly dealt with the student`s mother who communicated that she was happy with the content and quality of my tutoring and understanding of my situation. I will check my records but I believe that I completed the paid for hours. If this is not the case I can arrange a refund. I hope that Max found our sessions useful. It was my sibcere belief that he did.
