Feedback For Maria (25)
Finlay (Mr)

When I first heard of Maria, it was through my friend who was also studying GCSE English with me. I’d never done tutoring before, so I wasn’t sure what it would be like. But within the time of studying with Maria, not only did I boost my grades for GCSE, but I also learned to enjoy English Language and Literature. Maria would always make time for me whenever I needed another session—whether it was for an hour or two. In the lead-up to GCSEs, even though she had other students, she always put in an amazing amount of effort: marking papers, giving me extra homework, and providing more notes. So, if you’re thinking of studying with Maria—do it.

Really pleased with the way Maria improves our son`s English Literature knowledge. Great improvement so far - mock exams next week - hopefully will see even a greater progress.

Maria has been tutoring our son in GCSE-level English for over 25 sessions. Our son improved his grades, but most importnatly learnt to work and take responsibility. We valued direct and honest communication with Maria and can recommend her as tutor.
