Donna provided excellent tuition for our daughter for double award science, helping her to increase her grades from 4 - 4 to 6 -6 in one year.
She provided focused, carefully planned sessions and increased our daughter’s confidence and knowledge enormously. Would have no hesitation in recommending her.
From Kambiz
Donna is an excellent tutor. She understood the way that was best suitable for our daughter to grasp the learning. Her support was outstanding in preparing our daughter to sit confidently her Biology exams.
We couldn’t recommend her enough.
Thank you Donna!
Thank you so much for your review, it has been a pleasure and I wish her all the success she deserves for the future. Take care, Donna

Donna has tutored my daughter for her GCSEs in Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Maths for the past couple of years. From the off, I cannot express how grateful I am and so glad that I found her on this site. Donna is professional but has also been so great with doing her best to accommodate my daughter when we had emergencies pop up and was always happy to reschedule. Her knowledge and way of explaining complex topics is so brilliant that my daughter always came out of her lesson so happy that she finally understood a topic she didn't at school. She excelled and I'm so happy to say she aced her GCSEs with 9s in Sciences and 8 in Maths! Thank you Donna! Could not recommend her enough.
From Nicki
Donna adapts each session to what our daughter wants to focus on and is great at breaking concepts down and explaining them clearly.
During the session Donna asks questions to test knowledge and understanding and makes links back to content covered on previous sessions. She encourages our daughter to input and answer questions herself and expands on answers, explaining where the all important, extra marks could be given on exam questions.

Hi, I would highly recommed Donna after trying 2 other tutors somewhere else for my daughter's A Level Biology. Before I found Donna, I was let down by the 2 tutors for not willing to provide any practice questions after the lessons or moaned about being asked to help with her school homework even my daughter was so struggled. As most of the AL biology exam questions are application in nature, it makes more sense to have a lot of practices to test out students understanding. Donna was very hardworking and amazingly good at managing teaching, homework practices and past paper practices all in one week. From Bubble

Donna has been working with my son for a few weeks and has already gained his trust and they have a established a great rapport. His confidence is improving week by week and he actually looks forward to his lessons each week. As a child who has always been reluctant with maths, it's great to see his confidence growing so quickly.
From Janet
Only had a few lessons for A level biology but it has made a massive difference. In his words “… made it really easy to understand” and his marks have improved already. Highly recommend!
From Jane
Donna is very organized and very focused throughout the lesson. She spends time working through exam questions and explaining how marks are gained. She is friendly and pleasant but also expects high levels of concentration from my daughter. Donna sets and marks homework too. We have moved to zoom lessons during Covid and these are working well. I have no hesitation in recommending Donna for A level biology tutoring…
From Charlotte
Donna has been an excellent choice for my son. She is prepared and explains things simply to my son. She makes the lesson fun and guides my son through examination papers. I have no hesitation in recommending Donna as a tutor.
From Neil
Donna is an excellent tutor. She spends time finding the right teaching method that works for the individual; something we were looking to find in a tutor. She is friendly, extremely helpful and always goes the extra mile… Donna never 'clock watches'
Donna is still currently working with our son but already his grades and predicted GCSE results have improved and he now feels more confident.
We are more than happy we chose Donna and would recommend her to anyone.
From Barbara
Donna tutored my daughter for her Biology A2 exam. We found her friendly and knowledgeable. She was always very well prepared and tailored the lessons to suit Ellie's needs. She definitely helped my daughter to improve her grade.
From John
We are very impressed at how Donna has tailored our daughter's tuition sessions to suit her individual learning style and needs. She has assisted us in beginning to " fill the gaps", giving our daughter greater confidence, not only in her subject, but also in her abilities. We look forward to continuing our sessions, knowing that our daughter will be fully equipped for her GCSE's and beyond.
From Carole
We are really happy with the Donna. She is always punctual, comes well prepared with excellent teaching materials and has a lovely attitude towards her work. Very very pleased we chose to have her for the A level Biology tuition.
