Gillian is definitely the best tutor I have had. She is consistent with her methods which prevents any confusion within my learning and her experience/knowledge is clearly evident when teaching. She is interactive, produces helpful,customised notes and makes me feel very comfortable within my lessons. As well as notes, she uses websites, past paper questions and models to help me learn. All queries are answered and after every lesson I feel confident.

Gillian is one of the best chemistry tutors I have ever seen. My son is extremely happy and eagerly waiting for her lessons. Hopefully, he will get a better grade on his A-level exam due to her way of teaching.

Gillian is a wonderful Chemitry tutor. My son is really happy with her and the tutoring has already began making an impact my sons chemistry knowledge, engagement in school with the subject and grades. She explains not only exam techniques but also the concepts which has helped to solidify my sons understanding.

My daughter started with Dr Gillian midway through her first year of A levels. Her understanding and confidence for Chemistry by the end of her first year has grown tremendously due to Dr Gillian. A great tutor with good rapport who teaches difficult concepts well, which has resulted with my daughter achieving great grades.

Gillian was very patient with our son who was losing his way in his Chemistry A-level. Gillian’s insight really gave his classroom lessons some context and he would come out of the sessions saying that he now got it. We would definitely recommend Gillian as she tailored the sessions as required by our son.

Gillian has stepped in late in the day to help my son get through his Chemistry A`level having missed a lot of school over the last 2 years due to illness. Gillian has been very understanding of my son`s needs as well as flexible in her availability which has been so helpful as a parent. My son tells me that Gillian is especially good at giving examples to explain topics, and finding different ways to improve his understanding if he doesn`t get the first explanation she gives. Gillian has helped my son to create a list of topics they will focus on together over the next 6 weeks before the exams, and so provided an individual tailored approach to support his learning.

Gillian brings extensive practical knowledge of chemistry as well as a broad understanding of the A-Level curriculum. Her advice on how to approach exam questions is invaluable. My daughter finds her very easy to work with and Gillian regularly sends follow up notes and examples.

Gillian is a fabulous Tutor. My daughter is studying A level chemistry. One of her actual teachers is new and on a trial for teaching Chemistry, never taught A level or Gcse chemistry before. So we contacted Gillian for help and extra tutoring, she always listens to the needs of my daughter and has been an amazing tutor. She explains things clearly and precisely with great detail and depth when required. Would definitely recommend Gillian to anyone - in fact we already have but Gillian is so good, I believe she`s already fully booked!
