Fiona tutored my daughter for just under a year for A-Level Biology. Fiona was very helpful and is very knowledgeable concerning the A-Level Biology curriculum. She has a large array of resources which helped to further my daughter's understanding of the course content. Fiona provided detailed and informative feedback on my daughter's homework and is brilliant at explaining difficult aspects of the course in a clear way. Fiona challenged and pushed my daughter in her preparation for both her mocks and final exams and always took a keen interest in her progress. I would thoroughly recommend Fiona.
Thank you so much for your kind words Angela. Your daughter was fantastic to work with and I wish her all the best for the future.
From Hakan
Excellent communication with lots of advice and help for me (the parent). Homework is marked and feedback provided each time. Son is enjoying his lessons.
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback. I am glad your son is enjoying the tutorials; I am too and I hope that by us working as a team he can achieve his true potential in his GCSEs.
From Glyn
Fiona was a good tutor, very engaging, positive and encouraging. Fiona created a structured learning environment with regular feedback on the homework set. Our daughter enjoyed learning with Fiona, which kept her committed to the sessions and definitely improved her grade.
Thank you so much for your kind words Glyn. I enjoyed working with your daughter as she was engaged and organised with her work and willing to improve. I am so pleased with her final A-level result - a big improvement from where she was this time last year. Thank you again.
From Sana
Fiona is an extremely dedicated tutor who has immensely helped me with A-Level biology. The resources she provides have been tailored to tick all the boxes for the content you must know. I feel far more relieved (although still nervous) going into year 13 as Fiona has an extensive knowledge on Biology and teaching.This has been able to provide me with relevant context which helps improve and further my understanding in my biology specification. As well as being very capable as a teacher, I am grateful for Fiona as she continues to create a very comfortable, judgement free learning environment where I am not scared of asking questions. Thank you for making Biology a subject I thoroughly enjoy!
Thank you so much Sana for your wonderful feedback. You are lovely to tutor as you are a hard working and dedicated student who wants to understand the biology as well as achieve excellent results. I look forward to working with you over the next year.
From Sarah
Fiona is being very supportive to my son. She is also always well prepared and can spot easily a student's weaknesses. Thank you Fiona for all your help!
Thank you for your kind words Sarah. It is a pleasure to tutor your son, who is proactive and willing to work hard and to improve. Thank you for hiring me!
From Anna
Fiona was instantly reassuring, gave Arthur confidence, after only 2 lessons he has already learnt a lot. Very helpful, reliable, I would recommend her as a tutor.
Thank you so much Anna for your lovely feedback. I look forward to continuing to help Arthur.
From Millie
Fiona is very professional and was great at providing feedback on work completed every week. She is very committed to the person's progression in their subject.
Thank you so much for your kind words. It was great to work with you this year and see you work hard and make such good progress.
From Renata
Fiona creates a comfortable environment for my daughter and makes sure that lessons are personalised to work on her weaknesses. Fiona's homework helped my daughter a lot as it was marked thoroughly and all mistakes were discussed, which helped her improve her biology. My daughter has really enjoyed working with Fiona.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Your daughter was great to work with and I look forward to working with her again in the future.
From Amanda
Delighted with Fiona and grateful to have found her at such a critical time in our daughters A level biology studies. Fiona connected well with her, built her confidence and has a great teaching style . She clearly knows her topic inside out and covered all aspects of the curriculum to get her exam ready. Would definitely recommend to others.
Thank you so much Amanda for your kind words. Your daughter was a wonderful student to work with and I wish her all the best in her future studies.
From Tina
Fiona is a well prepared, highly experienced, knowledgeable and thoughtful tutor. She was able to explain things in a way that our daughter clearly understood and found accessible. This gave our daughter the extra one-to-one help, subject understanding and self confidence she needed to gain an 'A' in Biology and get into Liverpool University Vet School. We are very grateful to Fiona for her help and very pleased we found her! Thank you Fiona!
Thank you so much Tina for your lovely feedback. Your daughter was a great student to work with and I was so happy to hear of her fantastic result and that she got into vet school. I wish her, and you, all the best for the future.
From Lorelei
If you are looking for a tutor, look no further; Fiona is absolutely outstanding in every way. She has helped my son prepare for his A-level chemistry exams and his marks have been consistently one to two grades higher than they were before she took him on as a student. She is an excellent teacher and is able to break down difficult concepts in manageable chunks. She is highly organised - she prepares for each tutoring session thoroughly, assigns relevant homework and marks it and sends it back in time for the next session. She was brilliant at keeping us informed about our son's progress. She is honest about where the areas for improvement are, but always encouraging when our son was struggling. She is also extremely kind and patient to boot. Our son now has four offers to study medicine, and there is no way my son could have achieved this without her help. Highly, highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your very kind feedback. I thoroughly enjoyed tutoring your son and it was great to see him improve his understanding, memory and ability to answer exam questions in chemistry. I really hope he achieves the grades he needs to start his preferred medical degree course and I wish him all the best for the future.
From Elisabeth
Fiona has offered excellent support to our Y13 Biology A-Level student, helping him progress in knowledge and confidence and giving him time to catch up on missed content following teacher absences at school. The comprehensive homework and regular feedback has been invaluable in extending understanding. Fiona has made the sessions highly relevant, focused and enjoyable. Flexibility around face to face or on occasion, online sessions has also been appreciated.
Many thanks
Thank you so much for your kind comments. It was so good to see your student improve and to help him with material missed due to teacher absence. He worked hard for me and I hope he achieves what he needs to get into his university course of choice. Thank you for the tutoring work over the last academic year and I wish you and your son all the best.
From Georgina
Fiona has provided invaluable support to our daughter in preparing for her A-level Biology through both face to face and online tuition sessions. Fiona's personable yet professional approach enabled our daughter to grow in confidence and improve her understanding of the subject area. I would not hesitate to recommend her.
Thank you for your kind words. It was lovely to tutor your daughter - she was motivated to improve and worked hard during the academic year and I hope that her exam results show the improvements she made in her biology. I wish her all the best for the future.
From Joanne
Fiona has been an invaluable support for my son through his A Level Biology final year; he has found the sessions incredible useful as 1-1 personal tuition to supplement learning from the regular 6th form group lessons over the academic year. Through the mock exams and the final A Level exams themselves, having the 1-1 sessions has been an enormous support for revision, practice questions discussion and having that expert support has I think been a big boost for his confidence too.
We can't thank Fiona enough for helping our son do his very best this year.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback Jo. I enjoyed tutoring your son, especially seeing him grow in confidence as his knowledge and understanding of the biology improved alongside his ability to answer exam questions. I'm sure he will have done his best in his exams and I wish him all the best for his university course.
From Janet
Fiona is providing a very good level of support and guidance for my son. I am very happy that she is his tutor.
Thank you Janet for your kind words. I look forward to supporting your son during the academic year.
From LIsa
Fiona has been wonderful with Tutoring my son A level Biology . She really “got” him and understood how learning during CoVid was difficult. Lessons were well structured and Fiona managed to cover the whole syllabus filled with great tips - no mean feat. My sons skills rapidly improved, quickly followed by confidence and enjoyment. It was lovely to hear them chatting away on the odd occasion I over-heard. Truly exceptional teaching and we are very grateful for her support and dedication. We couldn’t recommend Fiona highly enough
Thank you so much for your lovely kind words Lisa. It was wonderful to see your son improve and respond so well to the tutoring and I enjoyed our tutorials too. I hope it results in him achieving his potential in his Biology A-level and gaining entry to his university of choice. Thank you again.
From Debbie
I can’t rate Fiona highly enough as a tutor. Before lockdown I was struggling with my A-Level Biology and was predicted a U. With Fiona’s help and support I have now been predicted a C. I felt very comfortable and at ease with Fiona and enjoyed her way of teaching. She took into consideration my dyslexia and tailored lessons to focus on the areas in which I needed to improve most. Which in turn helped to build on my confidence and enjoyment of the subject.
Thank you so much for this kind feedback. You were a wonderful student to work with. You worked hard and listened to and followed the advice and knew the areas that required work. So well done and all the best for your future.
From Susanne
Fiona is very focused on doing all she can to support our son with his IB Diploma Higher in biology. She's committed, clearly wants to know how best to support him and gives detailed feedback. She's also incredibly reliable and professional. I warmly recommend her.
Thank you Susanne for your lovely feedback.
From Lisa
My daughter has really enjoyed her tutor sessions with Fiona. She was made to feel very comfortable and gained confidence and determination to do well in her exams. She says that her homework was well discussed and her lessons clearly and effectively structured. We saw a steady progress in regards to grades and felt that our daughter still had more to give in exams… if only.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. I thoroughly enjoyed tutoring your daughter as she was great to work with and it was wonderful to see her improve so much in motivation, ability and confidence with her chemistry studies. I wish her and all of you all the best during these difficult times.

Fiona was my chemistry tutor throughout my entire sixth form journey. She went through everything very thoroughly and she always explained things in a manner that I understood. She is very organised and always available to answer any questions I have. Fiona is an amazing tutor, who has offered me support in a very professional way. She always pushed me to do the best that I can and I am so grateful for that.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. It was a privilege to be your tutor during your A-levels and you’re a fantastic student of chemistry. I’m sure you’d have achieved that A* if the exams had gone ahead. I wish you all the best for the future.
From Jason
I've had a couple of tutors during my duration of completing A-levels and I can say truthfully that this tutor was amazing. Extremely organised while still really flexible and this meant that she was approachable when something was not understood in the subject. She offered her own personalised worksheets which were brilliant and aided with my understanding of the course but also provided a revision resource. Overall Fiona is an excellent tutor and was definitely worth it.
Thank you Jason for your lovely feedback. I thoroughly enjoyed tutoring you and it was wonderful to see you make such good progress in your understanding and ability to answer questions - I'm sure you would have achieved that A grade if the A-levels had went ahead.
From Carmen
Fiona is a great teacher who I would definitely recommend. She is a really enthusiastic, well organised and she is helping my daughter immensely with Chemistry and Biology.

I am looking forward to continuing our tutorials in the next academic year.
From Bridget
Fiona is an amazing tutor, she helped me though my A level biology and has a clear and systematic way of tutoring. It fitted in well with the teaching at school and I really think I will get a better grade because of her input. She is also a great person to talk to about school and other important things. I highly recommend her.
Thank you very much for the lovely feedback. I enjoyed our tutorials as you were an excellent student to work with and I wish you all the best for your future.
From Khurram
Fiona is a great tutor who has the patience, diligence and attention to detail to help her students excel. She has been instrumental in helping our daughter secure the top grades in her GCSE Chemistry and Biology exams. Our daughter's confidence has grown immensely. Fiona is simply an excellent tutor who connects really well with her students honing in on their development needs and arming them with an independent learning framework for approaching the subjects. I would highly recommend Fiona as we have been very fortunate to have her help our daughter.
Thank you Khurram for your lovely feedback. I really enjoyed tutoring your daughter last year as she worked hard and responded to my advice well. I was so happy to hear about her wonderful GCSE results, which were thoroughly deserved after her hard work and effort during the academic year.
From Karen
Fiona, I can't thank you enough for all your hard work and support that you gave to Amy. She always looked forward to her sessions with you and there was never a grumble about the homework. You really are in a different league to other tutors, with your invaluable advice on how to organise and revise. Each session was well planned and followed up with homework, which was always marked promptly and with feedback. You truly are one in a million! I would recommend you and anyone lucky enough to get your time, should grab it with both hands and not let go! We wish you all the best for the future, we will miss you. Karen and Amy
Dear Karen and Amy, Thank you so much for the lovely feedback. Amy was a delight to tutor and I hope that next week her hard work and mature attitude pays off and she achieves good grades. I wish you and her all the best for the future. Fiona
From Jennifer
Fiona was an excellent tutor for my daughter, teaching A-level Biology. Her predicted grade has gone up two grades and my daughter's confidence in the subject has increased hugely. Fiona also supported her through revision, which I'm sure helped with her other subjects too. I would not hesitate to recommend Fiona to other students.
Thank you Jennifer for your kind comments. It was a pleasure tutoring your daughter and I wish her all the best for the future.

Thank you James for your kind words and I am glad that my tutorials were so helpful to your daughter. I wish her all the best for the future.
From Ian
Fiona helped to prepare our son for his A2 Chemistry exams over a period of about 8 months. During this time she was always reliable and worked very well with our son who grew in confidence and made great progress in this subject. Our son found her teaching methods and advice on the subject and in wider areas very beneficial. We have no reservations about recommending her.
Thank you Ian for the wonderful feedback. It was great to work with your son and see his confidence develop and make so much progress. I wish him all the best for the future.

Thank you John.
From Stella
Fiona guided and tutored my son for his last year of his 'A'level biology. She clearly explained subject areas he found difficult and showed him how to answer questions in a more academic way. My son's confidence and enjoyment in biology increased and he recieved a much better grade than he expected , which enabled him to go university .
It was a pleasure tutoring Euan and I was so pleased he gained the grades he needed for the university course he wanted to do. Thank you for all the work and the lovely review.
From Robin
I asked Rachel what she thought and she said that she really enjoyed your sessions and found them very useful. On our part you were totally reliable and a pleasure to deal with. Thank you for your valuable help!
From Joanne
Firstly, I'd like to say thank you so much for everything!
You helped me so much achieve my final grades for my A-Levels in Biology and Chemistry. The academic side of your tutoring was amazing and you definitely helped bring my confidence back to where it should've been! You also helped me realise that I was doing too many things in my extra curricular subjects and so helped me organise my time properly and without this I wouldn't have achieved the grades I did! I would recommend you to anyone and everyone! You are so lovely, caring and really are an amazing tutor. I am so grateful, and without your knowledge of the subjects you taught me, and your expertise in teaching, I believe I would not have gotten into university! Thank you!!
From Terence
