Most GCSE exam courses are now 100% exam-based, which means learning the skills and exam techniques for succeeding at GCSE level is more important than ever.

Sessions can focus on general preparation over the academic year or on specific exam techniques in the lead up the mock and GCSE exams.

Emma helped me achieve the best grade possible as she not only thoroughly explains ideas,
concepts and research into the subject, but also provided me with additional,
relevant information which is useful
as this greatly boosted my knowledge so I could achieve a better grade. Furthermore the study sessions are always enjoyable
as a
relaxed atmosphere is created. Aside from this, she is punctual and very reliable.
I would recommend hiring Emma if someone is looking for a tutor as she will provide the
best experience possible!
Emma Rejto, A Level English Language
Emma is a very passionate and exceptional teacher who helped my son achieve A grades in both his English Language and
English Literature GCSEs - he was predicted
B grades in both subjects before he began his tutoring.
Mrs Heather Couch
My daughter really benefited from Emma’s tuition and gained top grades in English Literature
and English Language in her GCSE exams.
Emma has a friendly and supportive approach and gave my daughter the confidence to succeed;
she is an excellent tutor and I would recommend her highly.
Dr Elizabeth Kebbell
Mrs Larard is an effortlessly talented and giving teacher, for whom going above the call of duty is the norm.
Through her teaching, I refined not only my
specialist English (Language) studies but also acquired more specific skills,
notably cultivating invaluable proofreading techniques, conquering a common challenge amongst students.
Mrs Larard is also one of the few teachers in this world for whom you are more than a number and she ensures
that you are never a faceless student, but always a
person with specific needs. She easily excels as a caring,
intelligent and wise teacher and I know that, with her efforts, learning to a high standard was never a burden.
Alice Gold, English Language A Level
Dyslexia can be a major worry for anyone studying English. It was for me too!
Mrs Larard helped me through my English course and taught me in a way I understood,
helping me to achieve my target grade of a 'C'.
