Diane has been a fantastic tutor for our son for his GCSE English exams, so patient and understanding and giving him the time that he needed. Nothing was ever too much trouble and she has marked work for him and given him really constructive feedback. He always looked forward to his weekly tutorials and was always happy to log on even when we were away for the weekend which is a great testament to Diane`s wonderful skill. He had been really struggling in many ways and Diane`s input gave him confidence which has led to good GCSE passes in the English exams, and this improvement has helped him to pass his other exams too. Thank you Diane! We are very grateful!

Tutors Response :

Thank you for your lovely feedback. It has been a pleasure working with you and I am glad that I`ve been able to help.

Diane is an exceptional and highly skilled tutor, who has helped focus my 15-year-old son on English language GCSE preparation in an engaging and encouraging way. He is not the easiest to keep on task, being both dyslexic and having ADHD, but she is managing him incredibly well and, most importantly, he is enjoying his lessons! Diane also provides a detailed weekly report on how he is performing and the areas of focus, which is reassuring and very helpful. I am so glad we have found her and would wholeheartedly recommend her as an English tutor.

Diane is an extremely dedicated English teacher who is committed to doing the very best for her students. My son has Dyslexia and Diane was extremely helpful, professional and patient with him. In my son’s case she has been quick to identify gaps in his learning; setting a plan on what needs to be taught. She has built a good teaching relationship with him and he feels very comfortable with Diane and her teaching style. Oscar is beginning to feel more confident in his English LiteratureLanguage topics. I wish I had a tutor like Diane when I was in school. We can’t wait for Diane to start tutoring his brother and thank you very much for your endless support Diane. Regards Ed,Rachael and Oscar

Tutors Response :

Thanks very much. It`s been a pleasure working with you and I look forward to continuingvto do so.

Diane has provided excellent support for our 16 year old in preparation for his English GCSE. Our son had a late diagnosis of dyslexia and is being assessed for ADHD and Autism and Dianes approach and style was perfect for him. He really struggles to do any school work but Diane has made a real difference to him. He is much more confident now. Thank you!

Tutors Response :

Thanks very much. It`s been a pleasure to work with you both and see the amount of hard work that has been put in over the last few months.

Miss Diane is the most helpful tutor I’ve had to date. She has helped me when I really needed even regardless of how late I made an enquiry. She has given me invaluable notes to improve my writing style and teaches clearly to where I can understand exactly what she is teaching. Miss is patient and calming at a time where I had high stress due to my A level exams. I really appreciate the invaluable help miss gave me. Thanks miss!

Tutors Response :

Thanks Esther. I wish you all the best for the future and well done with all your hard work!

Diane has proved to be an excellent tutor. tom was really struggling before he met Diane. Neither school or other tutors had proved able to help him with his reading and writing. For the first time ever tom is actually picking up a book on his own and reading it. Thanks Diane.

Diane has been working with my daughter for 2 months. My daughter is dyslexic and needs support with KS3 English. Diane is doing a great job of making sure the learning suits my daughters learning needs/style but stays at the academic level it needs to be at and progress to. She has built on the positives and taken the anxiety away from the subject.
