Alison has been really responsive and accommodating with our arrangements. She has worked hard to make the lessons relevant and my son is enjoying his sessions with her.

She is an amazing tutor. She used to teach my niece as well. My daughter likes the way she teach and she explain in details. I would definitely recommend her to others.

For the past two months, Alison has been helping my daughter prepare for her (separate) GCSE exams in Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Alison`s ability to cover all three subjects has been a major plus, enabling my daughter to focus each week on the subject she feels needs the most immediate help. We have already seen signs of improving grades in the range 7/8 towards the grades 8/9 which my daughter is hoping to achieve. Well done Alison!
