GCSE student now studying A/S English Literature

'Louise was extremely useful in helping me achieve a level 8 (A*) , despite my dyslexia.  As an examiner, she gave me relevant, input and helped me sculpt my essays and writing to hit the high criteria.  She continues to help me with AS English Literature.

I found the group sessions especially helpful.  The group was small and so Louise could help everyone individually.  The group dynamic also meant that people could share interpretations of the texts.

I would like to thank you so much for helping my daughter to achieve her greatest in the English exams. She got 9 in English Literature and 7 in Language. It wouldn’t be possible without you!!!!!! My daughter came to UK when she was 9 without any knowledge of English. The fact that she got 9 in Literature makes me want to cry. I couldn’t say how thankful I am.

If your child struggles to understand the stringent requirements of English GCSE examiners, Louise excels at deciphering this formidable challenge. Her tutoring is structured, thorough and practical. She is approachable, kind and supremely well qualified. Louise genuinely cares about achieving positive outcomes. I thoroughly recommend her as an English GCSE tutor.

Louise is an outstanding and inspiring English teacher. She has a very clear and creative approach to both Language and Literature and she is extremely organised and prepared for each lesson.

Louise has managed to successfully identify personal gaps and weaknesses.

Louise has also has an enormous impact on many other subjects and exams as she has taught my son general essay writing skills. She has taught him how to properly analyse questions effectively.

An absolutely stunning teacher, SEN experience and examiner. Kind, fun, focused and really knows the curriculum. I could not recommend her more highly. She is working with my profoundly dyslexic son whose GCSE mock results have gone from a level 2 to a level 6.

Thank you so much for all you’ve done with my son. It’s been a remarkable turnaround. If only I could find another you for other subjects !!

Thank you so much for the English classes that my daughter had with you.  She absolutely loved them and has a huge respect for you.  She felt that they really helped her depth of understanding and greatly enhanced her revision process

Thank you very much indeed from all of us.

I was so impressed with my English grades. I got a 7 in Literature, and a 7 D(distinction) in Language. I was one mark off an 8 though, which is crazy, considering I got 5 in my mock! Thanks for teaching me so well.

Louise is an outstanding and exceptional tutor. She has an innate understanding of motivating and engaging with teenagers, that brings out their very best. My son really enjoyed the group lessons.

Having worked with several tutors over the years, Louise is by far the best and was an absolute godsend. She went above and beyond all expectations in helping my son achieve great GCSE results in a fairly short space of time. We couldn’t have asked for more and would highly recommend her.'

‘My daughter joined Louise’s English group for help with her English GCSEs. Not only did she go up two levels but she was thoroughly engaged and really enjoyed the sessions too.’
— Parent of year 11 student

'My daughter attended Louise's group in Year 11.  Sessions were fun, stimulating and never felt like an extra burden of work - she really looked forward to them. Louise's relaxed and welcoming style and the on-point relevance of each session provided seamless support for my daughter throughout the year.' 

‘Louise really helped me to gain an A in English Literature. I had achieved a grade C in my mock and Louise helped me to understand how I can achieve the top grades in the exam papers. I have continued to work with Louise for A/S English Literature and now A level English Literature. She is friendly, motivating and helps me to challenge my ideas’.

'Louise has been tutoring my son for a year and has been a godsend.  He is mildly dyslexic and he caring, enthusiastic approach has engaged him like no other tutor I have ever used.  He looks forward to their sessions and his grade improvement has been remarkable.  More importantly, she has given him the confidence and a renewed interest in the subject that he used to 'hate'.  I would wholeheartedly recommend her'.

 

‘I’m so happy with my son’s English results as that was his biggest challenge. Thank you for everything. My son really benefited from your brilliant teaching!’

'I would highly recommend Louise - She is able to teach in a creative, motivational and structured way. My two girls, studying for their GCSEs, have matured and they are much more confident in the subject.  Their knowledge has grown no end as has their ability to apply all that they have learnt.  Louise certainly knows her subject.  It is also very helpful that Louise is an examiner and she is very familiar with what's required and with the syllabus as a whole.  In terms of the management side of things she is professional, reliable and a lovely person.  We are extremely grateful for her hard work and the commitment she has shown towards our children.  She aims to get the best out of them and she succeeds.' 

Louise was a brilliant tutor to me throughout my two GCSE years; at the end of which she helped me to achieve two level 9s in English. I couldn’t have done so well without her. Furthermore, she was extremely kind and attentive to me and our entire study group. She has a wealth of knowledge on the subject and also the specifics of the exams, which was a huge help to me.

Louise is an absolutely brilliant English tutor. As well as an ex teacher, she is also an Examiner and she knows exactly what to teach in order for your child to achieve high marks. She quickly identifies and addresses any weaknesses your child might have with their learning. She is kind, fun and empathetic and make learning a joy. My son loved his group sessions withher, and actually looked forward to seeing her each week. He is sad not to be continuing with her now that the GCSEs are over. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Take her on. She is worth every penny.

I really enjoyed my time with Louise. She made me fall in love with English as a subject. I used to struggle to get a level 4 in my mocks. However, Louise helped me turn this around and I got a level 8 in the final exam. The sessions combine fun and learning. I found myself looking froward to the sessions each week.

We have been very impressed with the tuition Louise offered my two boys for the GCSE English exams preparation. The sessions were well structured. The extra sessions that are set up as Supported Mocks were popular with both my boys. They are optional, with detailed feedback. Revision homework was given in the holidays also. One of our boys achieved a level 9 in Literature! We will be sending our youngest child to Louise for sure!

My daughter was concerned about passing her English GCSEs. Louise was recommended; working as part of a small group with thoughtful, targeted support did wonders for her confidence and grades. The lessons rebooted her enthusiasm, pus she loved going to them. We received attentive feedback throughout; alongside exam Masterclasses and Supported Mocks that helped consolidate her revision. Invaluable.

Louise is an amazing tutor. She is extremely kind and compassionate. Since being in her tutor group I have improved my grades significantly. I am very grateful to have her as a tutor.
