Jo stepped in at short notice to tutor my son for A level Psychology to help him revise for exams and catch up on work missed through lockdown. She has been wonderful in engaging him and helping him make progress, finding a way through his various SEN needs. We are incredibly grateful for her calm and professional support.

We have made a great start with Jo. She is extremely knowledgable and immediately identified areas where my daughter could improve her marks. She is responsive, flexible, positive and has already established a great rapport with my daughter. Would highly recommend.

My daughter has enjoyed two lessons with Jo so far
She has used different teaching styles to maintain interest and stimulation.
i particularly like the picture diagrams she used in
her biology lesson which will help aid retention of the subject, and look forward to another teaching session next week.
