Fiona supported my daughter with her GCSE chemistry. After getting a 5 in her mock, with Fiona's support my daughter reached a much better understanding of the subject and went on to achieve an 8 in her GCSE and is now studying the subject at A level. Fiona was easy to communicate with and personable, and she made my daughter feel at ease.
Hi Sian, thanks for the lovely feedback! I hope Ruby is enjoying her A levels. Best wishes Fiona

I got in touch with Fiona in August of 2018 as my daughter started year 11. My daughter was struggling with her maths and needed a GCSE grade 5 to stay on at her school for 6th form. She had completed mock exams in July 2018 where she had achieved a grade 3. I knew that my daughter was capable of more than this but she lacked confidence and would not ask questions in class. My daughter loved her sessions with Fiona and felt comfortable discussing things that she didn't understand, they became the highlight of her week! As the GCSE's drew nearer, Fiona also helped my daughter with her science trilogy as she was struggling with the physics in particular. My daughter passed her maths GCSE with a grade 6 and also achieved a 6/6 for the science trilogy so she is over the moon! I am convinced that she could not have achieved these results without Fiona's tuition. I would have no hesitation in recommending Fiona.

My daughter had Fiona for some months, covering, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Maths. She found her lessons enjoyable and thought provoking. Fiona will guide, and encourage her tutees to find the answers for themselves, which helped with confidence and self-learning. The communication between lessons was excellent, this enabled organised and well targeted lessons. Fiona was always reliable and punctual. My daughter attained excellent GCSE grades, as a result of Fiona’s approach. We highly recommend Fiona and will definitely ask Fiona for any A-Level assistance.

Fiona tutored my daughter Isabelle in GCSE maths throughout her academic year 11. She proved to be an excellent tutor, fully conversed with the new curriculum and quickly able to establish a good rapport with Isabelle. Areas of difficulty were ironed out, and plenty of practice papers worked through. Isabelle's performance increased during the year from a C grade in year 10 mock, to an A grade (level 7) in her actual GCSE. As an added bonus Fiona was also able to address any aspects of the physics, chemistry and biology curriculum Isabelle was having difficulty with throughout the year. Fiona was always punctual and communications were excellent. Highly recommended!
From Ana
Fiona has been a really helpful tutor. i had trouble with different essay formats that I'd never seen before, but I've received basically all firsts on my work with her help.
From Carol
My daughter, Chloe, is using Fiona to help her through 3rd year Biochemistry. Chloe is extremely happy with Fiona who has been excellent with her. She has devoted alot of time with Chloe. We are very happy with Fiona. I would definitely recommend her.
From Stephanie
My daughter has found A-level Biology tuition with Fiona exceedingly helpful. Fiona is a conscientious and capable tutor, and my daughter enjoys her lessons.
From David
Fiona's calm and consistent approach has allowed my daughter to improve by 3 grades with only 16 hours of tutoring,more importantly she has given her confidence in her own ability. i cannot recommend her highly enough.
From Samuel
Fiona is wonderful! She is very conscientious and takes her role as tutor seriously. We are extremely pleased and would recommend her highly.
From Anna
I couldn't be happier with the tutoring that Fiona has provided for my older daughter. She failed her GCSE chemistry last year, but with Fiona's help my daughter's confidence has been restored - sufficient to retake the exams happily. As well as being highly intelligent, Fiona is calm and friendly and provides an excellent role model for girls who are unsure about their abilities in science. Fiona will now tutor my younger daughter so that she can develop her confidence in maths. I have and will continue to recommend Fiona to friends whose children need help with science and/or maths.
From Halima
Fiona is a reliable, helpful and friendly tutor.
From Claire
Right from the first session M reported with delight that she was now understanding things better than she had prevuiously at school. She enjoys her sessions and feels she gets on with you… I am realy pleased and hope it continues to improve her confidence, ability and interest in the subjects.
M does tend to panic with her maths if she doesn't undertstand it and when I have helped her with her homework there have been times that she can't see the wood for the trees (rearranging equations). I have agreed with her that where she really doesn't seem to understand, she is better to leave the homework to discuss it with you.
