Testimonials:
“I would, without hesitation, recommend Luci, and indeed have already done so to friends. This is because of her approach, her flexibility and understanding, and the impact she`s had.

Luci is very kind, friendly and encouraging, which has been very important for my daughter in this really tricky year; her confidence in English has grown hugely as a result. Luci is also very focused and completely up-to-speed with the curriculum and GCSE exams. She understands how to teach the sub-topics in a way that both engages her pupils but also equips them with the skills to think through and answer questions. My daughter`s English teacher has commented on her really improved exam technique, which has come from her time with Luci.” (KM, 2021)

`... my daughter, for particular reasons, hadn’t achieved the GCSE mock grades that we were anticipating. We knew she had the capability to achieve much higher. In less than a term working with Luci, her level in English Language jumped at least 2 grades and I’m assured that she would have achieved so much more if the current national health crisis had not curtailed her sessions prematurely.` (Mrs Clarke, Ipswich April, 2020)
