This approach also equips students with the necessary study skills and exam board savvy needed for lifelong learning.

It is of great pleasure to give me this opportunity to write about Miss Teresa Smithers. She is tutoring me on A2 Biology, it was evident that she is one of the best professional tutors I have ever met with a very kind heart and understanding of students situations.
During the first lesson, we discussed my goal and she accordingly established the teaching plan and approach to follow in order to achieve my target. After each lesson, I gain a lot of knowledge due to her teaching approach and full utilisation of the lesson time. She has also been very supportive with my UCAS application.
