Ms Gaynor provided few lessons in Latin for my daughter as a part of her preparations for 11+ exam. The lessons were useful and engaging. We can certainly recommend Ms Gaynor.

Gaynor is supporting my daughter in A Level Classical Civilisation. My daughter finds her sessions very helpful. She is gaining a greater understanding of the subject and Gaynor is also focusing on exam techniques which is exactly what my daughter needs.

Gaynor has been an outstanding Classical Civilisation tuition tutor for my daughter. From the first session, it was clear that Gaynor a deep understanding of the subject matter and was passionate about sharing their knowledge. My daughter struggled with some of the more challenging concepts in her Classical Civilisation course, but Gaynor was patient and persistent in helping her understand these topics. Their teaching style is engaging and effective, making the material accessible and interesting. What sets Gaynor apart is their ability to connect with my daughter on a personal level. They take the time to understand her strengths and weaknesses and tailor their approach to her individual needs. This has resulted in significant progress in her understanding and performance in the subject. Overall, I would highly recommend Gaynor to anyone looking for a top Classical Civilisation tuition tutor. She is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely care about their students` success. My daughter has gained a newfound appreciation for the subject and is more confident in her abilities thanks to Gaynor excellent tuition. The most important is that the tutor gives feedback after every class. Thank you for all your help and support for my daughter.

Gaynor gave my son a series of valuable sessions after he had begun to struggle with certain aspects of his ancient history A level. This included topics such as the usage of minor sources to help evaluate major sources in essays and the methods in which one must structure and plan essays to achieve the best results. Her ability to go above and beyond the requirements of the session was made clear by allowing lessons to be longer than previously intended in order to ensure that my son understood the often complex workings of the ancient world. With all this combined with her friendly manner, being punctual and giving me an update after each lesson, Gaynor has proven to be a 5 star tutor. I would highly recommend Gaynor to anyone looking for an Ancient History tutor.

We started working with Gaynor in November, she is everything we hoped for when using tutorhunt for the first time (previous experiences of homeschooling, online schooling & sixth form education). Gaynor is involved & interested in the work & has a lively discussion energy & is clear & very responsive with her feedback, she is also supportive, we are happy with our choice.

After finding Gaynor only few months before my A Level in Classical Civilisation, in a short amount of time, she was able to help me improve my knowledge and exam technique. In short Gaynor was a fabulous tutor who really went above and beyond to ensure that I succeeded. I simply wouldn`t have achieved my `A` grade without her help!

We could not have asked for more of a wonderful and totally committed classics tutor for our son Joe. Gaynor clearly loves teaching classics and goes above and beyond for every single session. Despite lockdown, we are confident that with Gaynor’s invaluable help Joe will have achieved his potential. Thank you Gaynor, Joe has gone from strength to strength over the last year, and he genuinely misses his classics lessons now that they are finished. We highly recommend Gaynor to anyone needing a classics tutor.

Gaynor is an excellent, knowledgeable professional tutor. She is dedicated and cares a great deal about her students ` progress. She has been an amazing tutor to my son in preparing him for a 6th Form Exam Entry. Gaynor never hesitate to give him extra time on each session ensuring that he understood and progressed in the subject. I would greatly recommend if you are looking for professionalism and excellence.

Gaynor has taken an interest in our daughter`s A-Level ancient history which goes far beyond the hour they spend together each week. The lessons with Gaynor have given her a different insight into her studies and helped her to focus on the sources and other key areas of a challenging course.
