Sharon worked very well with my son and pushed him to achieve really good marks. Were very happy with the depth of her knowledge and her ability to work one on one with our son.

Our 13-year-old son has been tutored by Sharon for a couple of weeks now. Sharon has been wonderful, quickly understanding his shortcomings and finding ways to encourage him. Already, his confidence is growing and he enjoys his time with Sharon. Sharon goes above and beyond, emailing us with advice which has helped us all. Sharon has set our son homework based on his interests, which is important to inspire him to write more. Sharon always arrives on time, is polite, engaging and pleasant.
I have already recommended Sharon to friends.

Brilliant teacher, our son was struggling with his GCSE English Lit. After only a couple of visits he was more confident and understanding it so much better, Without Sharon’s tutoring GCSEs would have been a lot more stressful.
