Liz is amazing at what she does! I can’t be more grateful for getting my son through this hard period, I honestly believe he would have never achieved the results required to join the 6th form. Just under 6 months of learning with Liz my son’s GCSEs English Language & Literature actual results gone up by 3 marks compared with an expected grade. Liz, thank you so much once again!
From Lucy
An outstanding tutor. Liz has transformed my children’s learning of English and preparation for exams. She is patient, kind and appears to have an extensive knowledge of GCSE texts and exam strategy.
From A
Elizabeth is an extremely competent and reliable tutor, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a top notch English tutor. She is professional, kind and punctual. Her calm and gentle approach to turoring that is respectful of the students' styles and personalities allowed my children to build a good rapport with her.
From Hon
I rarely write reviews, but I can recommend Liz absolutely to anyone without a moment's hesitation. She has taught my son for a year and a half and I have observed his English coming on hugely. He is currently in Year 10 and consistently getting grade 9s in assessments and coursework.
From Tracey Kathleen
My daughter asked for a tutor as she needed support with English Literature A level which she is due to take this year. I was impressed with the feedback for Elizabeth and we initially booked a couple of lessons.
We are very impressed with Elizabeth who quickly established the areas and subjects where she could work to improve. My daughter really enjoys her lessons and this has helped her confidence with this subject.
From MJ
Elizabeth has been tutoring our son for over a year now. We asked her for support to prepare for entry exams to secondary schools. My son says Elizabeth has been very kind yet extremely disciplined. She has adapted her ways of teaching to suit our son’s needs finding new ways to engage him and keep him motivated. We’ve seen real improvement in our son’s creative writing, planning and importantly confidence. This has led him to get into a first-choice school and a very competitive one at that. Elizabeth has built a very positive relationship with our son, who has enjoyed her lessons. As we are so pleased, now our other son will start lessons with Elizabeth too.
From Vivian
Elizabeth is a great tutor. She helped my DS to prepare the 10+ Entrance exam of English and Handwriting. My son feels she is very patient and her lessons are lively. After lessons, she always give adequate homework and answers my questions promptly. I really recommend Elizabeth as your tutor.
From Michael
My daughter is in year 10 and we started work on English lang and lit with Elizabeth in October 2020. In July 21 she sat her year 10 end of your exam and move up from grades 3/4 in these to a grade 7 in language and an 8- in literature. When we started, her confidence especially in literature, was almost non-existent. Now she has developed techniques that she can apply all the time and this has been down to the structure and confidence Elizabeth has built.
From Rachel
Liz is extremely patient in each class and well thought considering of the content of each lesson of tutoring.
From Nina
Liz is an excellent tutor. She is always prepared, enthusiastic and engaging. We have seen significant improvement in our daughter's results sine Liz started tutoring her.
From Tim
Our daughter spent 5 months working with Liz on her English comprehension and creative writing in preparation for taking her 13+ entrance exams.
Liz has a very engaging and calming style which worked well in delivering the virtual sessions.
The sessions really helped our daughter by providing specific techniques to help develop her own creative voice and improve her writing style.
They worked through past papers to highlight areas to focus on and Liz provide detailed feedback in how to improve the quality of the answers and understand what the examiners would be looking for.
The lessons built her confidence and developed her skills over the 5 months which resulted in an acceptance from one of our first choice schools.
We would definitely recommended Liz as a great Tutor.
From Mohammed
Ms is a great teacher. She helped my daughter with English during the preparation of the 11+ entrance exam for six months. She has an excellent teaching method that helped my daughter improve her English skills for reading and writing significantly over a short time. The best outcome of Ms ' support is an impressive score in the exam and securing a place in Wallington High School for Girls.
From Ann
We have been extremely happy with the English tutelage received by our daughter. Liz has adjusted her teaching approach to our daughter’s learning needs and style, and we have seen improvement not just in writing but in the way our daughter thinks about her writing, particularly in more abstract topics. Even when teaching remotely (as during the lockdown period) Liz has been patient and engaging. I would not hesitate to recommend her to other parents. Liz has made a real connection with our daughter, which very much feeds into our daughter’s engagement with material she finds challenging.
From Nicola
Excellent, friendly tutor who has a thorough knowledge of A level English Literature curriculum and access to helpful resources. Has developed a good relationship with my son, helping him analyse texts, structure essays and improve his understanding of the exam requirements. He looks forward to lessons and is gaining confidence in the subject.
From Zahida
Elizabeth is a great teacher. She is well versed with her topics and curriculum and teaches according to the students capabilities. My daughter enjoys studying with her and finds her lessons interactive and interesting. She encourages her to read books and supports her whenever required. Thank you so much for your precious time.
From Michelle
We are thrilled with the working relationship that Liz has developed with our Year 6 son. He comes away from the lessons feeling extremely motivated and is always eager to share with us the new things he has learnt. We asked Liz to help stretch and challenge our son and in a relatively short period of time, she has already made a real difference - she is introducing new concepts and techniques which are helping him with higher level comprehension papers, and challenge him to express greater depth and variation in his creative writing. We would highly recommend Liz.
From Atul
Liz is excellent! Only three lessons so far and my son is much better at analysis of language. Very composed and listening. I would recommend her anyday.
From Jasper
Liz helped me get through my final year of university. I really wouldn't have been able to cope without her. I'd been struggling with essays so she broke them down for me and now my essay writing is so much better. Wish I'd had her help from the beginning.
From Rohibun
My children, aged 10 and 13 have been studying with Liz for 6 months, and have found her to be excellent. She is always punctual, friendly and has excellent subject knowledge. My 13 year old feels she has a much better understanding of the subject now, which has been reflected in her recent examinations where she attained the top grade for her year group. I would definitely recommend Liz's services if you are looking for an English tutor.
From hakkyoung
Elizabeth is the best tutor ever. She is a very patient and thoughtful teacher. She also provides excellent feedbacks and writing comments for my academic writing. I highly recommend Elizabeth as a tutor.
Thank you Hakkyoung :) You have been fantastic to teach and I couldn't wish for a more communicative, polite or thoughtful student.
