Sarah is a fantastic tutor who has really built my son`s confidence in English over the last couple of months. My son has always loved reading and creative writing, but is struggling with the GCSE format and exam technique. We can already see a difference in how he is approaching things and he`s much more relaxed about the exams this year. Sarah`s lessons are extremely well organised and she has a fantastic range of varied resources which really help him to engage with his set texts. She`s flexible and happy to review materials from school, highly recommend her lessons.

Sarah has been great with out daughter who is retaking English Language in year 12, she slows everything down and makes sure it is understood as well as giving feedback and letting her have time to give her own opinions and answers. There`s always a few mins chat at the beginning to check in instead of going full force into the tutoring straight away. I`m confident our daughter will get her pass this time around.
