We've found Liz to be a fantastic tutor and would be very happy to contact her again if our children needed further English tuition.
From Catherine
Our daughter is in Year 11; she has had 3 sessions of GCSE English tuition with Liz. She is definitely starting to believe in herself and has gained confidence in her own abilities. We’re sure with Liz’s valuable support, our daughter’s confidence will continue to grow and hopefully enable her to improve her final grade at GCSE level in both English lLiterature and English Language.
From Rose
My daughter suffers with severe anxiety & we opted to go down the home schooling route. Liz has tutored her for a couple of weeks now, & has proved to be reliable, & immediately put her at ease. Lessons are really productive & it’s lovely to see my daughter gaining confidence so rapidly. I would not hesitate in recommending Liz as a tutor.
From Helen
Liz is an absolutely outstanding tutor - from day one she made my daughter, who has been studying her A-Levels from home, feel extremely comfortable, not only providing superb quality teaching but also much encouragement and support which has helped my daughter to gain confidence. Liz is passionate, dedicated and incredibly organised, all of which makes her an absolutely fantastic tutor who I can not praise highly enough! Thank you so much for all your help! Helen
Thank you so much! It was such a pleasure to teach E. All the very best for the future-I hope she absolutely loves university.
From Hilary
Liz was an excellent tutor for my son and she steered him through to pass his English GCSE, when he had already failed it twice. He really liked the Skype sessions, it forced him to focus on what he was doing as Liz was working along with him and advising him as he was doing the work. There was no hiding place! He never once complained about having to do the session and this was really down to Liz's personality and her "can do" attitude. I would have no hesitation in recommending Liz .
Thanks so much for your kind words-I was very proud of him!
From Karena
Thanks Karena!

Thanks Alison!
From Saima
Elizabeth was an incredibly supportive tutor to my daughter who achieved an A in her GCSE. Her careful guidance along with precise methods of teaching proved to be invaluable. An English tutor, my daughter and I would most certainly recommend! Thank you! Saima
Thank you so much Saima! S did so well and was an absolute delight to teach. I hope she’s enjoying her A levels!
From Deborah
Elizabeth was an excellent tutor for my son doing his GCSE English Literature in Y10 and helped him to achieve his challenge target of a Level 7 (A) in the new exams. Elizabeth has a great manner with her students, is very knowledgable, always on time, well prepared and very easy to communicate with. Due to time/ travel constraints the lessons were done via Skype which worked perfectly.
Thanks Deborah, it was a pleasure to teach B, and his result was thoroughly well deserved!
From Lorraine
We found Elizabeth to be an excellent tutor. She taught my daughter A level English Literature helping and supporting her at a time when her confidence was at an all time low and time was running out before her exam. She was extremely knowledgeable about the texts and I am certain that her fantastic exam result which was 2 grades higher than predicted, was down to Elizabeth's fantastic teaching.
It was such a please to teach K and I was so pleased with her result-well done her!
From Pamela
Elizabeth is a very experienced tutor. Very well-prepared, patient, knowledgeable and passionate about her subject. She is reliable, always on time and helpful. I would highly recommend her.
Thanks so much for your feedback Pamela-it's a real pleasure teaching A!
From Emma
I am delighted with the progress that my son made with Liz. He had one lesson a week from January to April 2016 in order to help him with his GCSE English. He was achieving D grades in most of his controlled assessments and his mock exam result was a D. He wasn't keen when I suggested a tutor but thanks to Liz it wasn't a chore for him and I never had problems getting him there! She is enthusiastic, friendly and she definitely gave him more confidence in his abilities both in Language and Literature. She made him feel at ease and she carefully planned work for him enabling him to progress a whole grade in both Language and Literature. She even managed to make him laugh and smile, something that he never imagined he would do whilst doing English! He was so pleased when he opened his GCSE results to see that he had a C in both of his English exams! I am so thrilled with how Liz has helped my son that I have already recommended her to two of my friends, who will be needing GCSE tuition for their sons in the future! Emma, York
Those Cs were very well deserved indeed! It was a pleasure to tutor him and I'm so pleased he enjoyed his English lessons with me. I hope this year is going well!
From Mary
By far the best tutor I've ever had. 100% on top of the English A-level course, and has helped me improve a huge amount. Really friendly as well - thank you for everything so far!
Very glad to help-that A* is within your sights!
From Rhona
Liz was a great help to my daughter in the run up to her A level English literature exam. She provided advice and help and was always willing to read coursework or practise exam papers. Above all she really cared about her subject and her tutees - something which came across right from the start.
Thanks Rhona-it was such a pleasure to work with Abaigh. I hope she enjoying herself this year!
From Diana
There is not enough words of how much Elizabeh helped me! I am Russian and i would never think that i could ever pass my gcse english for 'B'. This grade was deciding if i will get to the University or not. I was absolutely hopeless and about to give up, but just a few lessons with Elizabeth gave me such a great confidence and knowledge of what i have to do when i will be at the exam. The way how she structured her lessons was amazing! Also a very positive and kind person who made me to belive in myself. Her knowledge of what she is doing is amazing. Such a clever person a experienced teacher. She told me what i could not find on any website. I am so so happy that when i was choosing personal tutor i found her. 100% reccomend it to everyone! Best tutor I ever had! Doesn't metter how hopeless or worried you feel, I am sure she will help you as she helped me. She made my dream come true. Thank you!
I'm so glad I could help Diana-you thoroughly deserved that B and I hope you're absolutely loving university!
From Jenny

From Lawrence
I believe Elizabeth has had a very positive impact on my son's skills in English, his grades at school and also his enjoyment of the subject. Despite the lesson being on a Friday evening, he has always been keen to attend and often talks with enthusiasm about the lesson on the drive home!
I'm so glad Sebastian's enjoyed his lessons!

Elizabeth is an excellent tutor. As an experienced teacher, she knows what examination boards require for the pupil to achieve high grades. She is personable and takes time to really tailor the study to the individual. My son actually likes his tutor time, which is quite something after long school days.
