Gale has been a wonderful support to my daughter through her GCSEs - she has been very flexible in her approach and has switched between Physics, Chemistry and Biology as needed. She has a lovely relaxed and encouraging manner, comes prepared for the sessions and has really increased my daughters confidence and also performance across all 3 subjects. Thank you Gale, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you!
From Maddie
Gale has tutored my Year 11 daughter for the last 8 months. Gale has covered Biology, Chemistry & Physics for the Edexcel (I)GCSE. Gale is very kind & patient and very encouraging trying to improve the confidence in her students. My daughter has been very happy to have Gale as a tutor this year and enjoys her lessons. We have seen an improvement in her work. I would really recommend Gale. Thank you so much.
From Louise
Gale has been fantastic at helping my daughter with her confidence in A level Biology. She helps with the theory and how to answer questions. She has excellent subject knowledge and knows the specification well. With all the uncertainty around how the students will be assessed this year she has provided consistency and has helped my daughter to feel prepared for any assessment. I would highly recommend Gale for anyone considering a tutor for Biology
From Mark
So pleased we found Gale! Would not hesitate to recommend. Our daughter has gone from insisting she just 'can't do' science… to enthusiastically teaching US about things she has learned in her last lesson! Which is something i never dreamed would happen! Hopefully this new found enthusiasm will help her through the exams - but at this stage we're just pleased about her increase in confidence.
From Helen
Lovely: very clear, well prepared, confident in the exact stuff that needed to be learned and nice!
From Donna
Gail replied promptly and has been professional throughout. Her approach is systematic and realistic. Way to go Gail. Take care, stay safe and keep well everyone
From Lisa
Our son has recently started lessons with Gale and she has been excellent. He is in Year 8 and was struggling to keep up with the fast pace of his science lessons at school. Gale is incredibly patient and positive during his sessions and this I’m sure will help to increase his confidence and enjoyment of science. Gale has been responsive to focusing on the areas he finds most difficult and works at a pace which suits him. The lessons are always very well prepared and also Gale emails useful additional materials - such as activities and clips. We are really pleased we found Gale as she is already having a positive impact on our sons learning and attitude towards science.
From Jonathan
Very organised and professional.
Excellent feedback from my daughter.
Goes the extra mile.
From Piers
Very happy to have had Gale help my daughter. Punctual, thoughtful and have no hesitation in recommending her.
From Shaina
After trying 4 different tutors I finally found Gale, she has been my son’s saviour. She certainly knows Biology and her teaching style is very student friendly. My son said he has learnt more from Gale in a few lessons than he has from school. She always provides notes and remains in contact not only to provide feedback but also to see if she can improve anything. She is also very punctual and organised. I highly recommend Gale!!
From Tricia
My daughter found Gale to have creative ways of learning, getting you to think about it in different ways, making it easier to learn. She felt that she had made a lot of progress in the subject and was more confident. Gale always turned up and was on time. Thank you so much for all your hard work.
From Annelize
Wow! Not sure even where to start. We asked Gale to take 10 home educated students, aged 14-17, through the iGCSE Edexel Chemistry course in about 22 weeks at almost 2 hours per lesson. She did it with enthusiasm, diligence and with a staggering, but not overwhelming, library of resources. Lessons were well thought through, including learning with interesting games and educational chemistry equipment. Students enjoyed learning, which is such a bonus. And now, while we are in the middle of the Corona pandemic, she is taking the lead in providing recommendations for the students, who now can not write exams. We are so grateful to have had her to teach and guide the students through the year. Thanks again.
From Marisa
Gale, many thanks for your patience with, and helping Tilly with her Biology. She did well and she got into her chosen university.
From Anushka
Gale is a very experienced tutor. Highly recommended. Her teaching methods are extremely scientific and she teaches according to the student's ability. She has been tutoring me for the last 10 months for Biology and Chemistry for GCSE and i have gone from a grade 5 to a grade 8.
From Andy
Gale has tutored my daughter for GCSE science for the past 9 months. Throughout the experience she has been supportive approachable and engaging. My daughter was reluctant to get a tutor, but she’s so glad she did! Gale was always patient, went at a pace that fit her needs and whatever grade she ends up with we are grateful for her help and support x
From Lesley
Gale is an excellent tutor who has really got to know my son. She makes sure that the lessons fit with his learning needs and teaches in many different and interactive ways to keep his attention. She fits in top exam technique tips along the way which are very helpful. His confidence has gone up considerably. Thanks Gale.
From Henrietta
Gale has provided my daughter with excellent AQA Biology tutoring and really helped her to find the right way to learn. She also provides excellent feedback on progress and is always encouraging. Cannot recommend her highly enough.
From Helen
Gale has done a lot of work to help my daughter on tricky topics . My daughter is now more confident in asking questions on other topics.
From Ying
Gale has been an excellent tutor for our daughter who is doing the IB programme. Gale is patient and resourceful, and makes Biology easy to understand and enjoyable to learn. She has many good ideas about how best to prepare for the exams and is always flexible and helpful with scheduling. We would recommend Gale highly for any student.
From Catherine
My daughter is very happy that we found Gale who has been extremely kind, very supportive and flexible in her teaching methods. Gale goes beyond what the average tutor would do in accommodating a students needs and offering support relating to exams and revision. I can’t reemd Gale highly enough.
From Stephanie
very thorough, professional and engaging. Only completed a few lessons so far, but so far so good.
From Sylviah
Gale taught my daughter over 2 days and my daughter was quite happy with the service. My daughter will resume sessions when she comes back home since she is in boarding school.
Many thanks to Gale.
From Sandi
I cannot praise Gale enough for the excellent A Level coaching for my son during these last 6/7 months. He suffered from anxiety and was often 'out of sorts' resulting in last-minute cancelled sessions. Gale was most sympathetic and happily rescheduled - something not many tutors would do. She was always on time, provided regular feedback and gradually built up my son's confidence - such that he was actually enthusiastic in his approach to exams. We wait with bated breath for the results but I can heartily recommend Gale as a Biology Tutor. My son commented that he learned more with Gale in the time he spent with her than in the whole 2 years at (private) school. Thank you so much, Gale, for the help and succinct, targeted tutoring you gave my son.
From Toby
I approached Gale to assist me with my A level Biology studies. She is a lovely teacher, very patient, passionate about her subject and very clear in her teaching, making some of the more complex issues much clearer for me. I now approach my summer exams with confidence for a good result. Toby
From Clair
Gale started working with my son when he hit GCSE's. He had always enjoyed science but as a dyslexic student he found the jump to GCSE's quite challenging. Gale has been a fantastic tutor, demonstrating a sensitive understanding of his learning needs - continually boosting his self esteem and targeting lessons clearly around areas he found difficult. Her clear explanations and obvious enthusiasm for science have helped him enormously. She has a lovely, friendly manner and communicates really well with both students and parents. We are really grateful we found her!
From Rachel
Gale has been tutoring my son for AS biology for a couple of months. He has found the lessons very helpful and enjoyable and even looks forward to them! I have seen an increase in his confidence and ability already. Gale seems very organised and is punctual and approachable. RW
From Simon
Our daughter Georgina was taking AS level Biology this year, and had several sessions with Gale in the weeks leading up to her exam. Georgina's feedback was that; - she found the lessons extremely helpful (she didn't realise what she didn't know until she'd started with Gale); - Gale was a great teacher and explained everything they covered really well in terms of both content and the presentation of the answers - Gale gave her confidence in her own ability In hindsight, we wish we'd started lessons with Gale earlier. Thank you for your help, Simon (and Georgina)
From Angela
Gale has been absolutely fantastic as a tutor for both GCSE chemistry and biology She has a lovely manner my daughter liked her immediately and she has been unfailingly kind and patient. Her tutoring has been first class, and thorough, teaching both the syllabus content and exam technique. We cannot recommend her highly enough
From Kendal
Gale is very reliable and has provided me with excellent tuition. She was very quick to establish my initial ability and highlight areas to improve which we have been working on every week with positive results. Gale has helped me in all aspects of the AQA Biology A Level course; including understanding the content with additional revision resources, practice with the application of knowledge to questions and advice on how to structure an essay answer.
From Lavinia
Gale has been a great help to my daughter. She is well prepared, great subject knowledge and a real understanding into what the examiners are looking for. She has helped boost my daughter's confidence immensely. Gale has been great teacher and I would recommend her to anyone needing support in science. Thank you Gale.
From Dawn
We have recently had our first visit from Gale to help our daughter with her A level Biology studies.
We are extremely pleased with the tutoring provided by Gale and will continue on a weekly basis for the foreseeable future.
From Graham
So far so good. Gale has a very nice manner that has put my daughter instantly at ease and has started to build her confidence. I hope this continues over the coming weeks as we get to this critical time.
From Shirley
Gale has definitely helped my daughter with her AS Biology. My daughter was struggling with the application questions but after just a few lessons with Gale, she now feels that she can do them. This is actually quite amazing progress! I'm really pleased with how Gale has managed to help her in such a short space of time particularly since this is not an easy subject.
Many thanks for your feedback Shirley. Your daughter is great to work with and deserves to achieve a high grade in this subject.
From Jilly
Gale is very efficient and is helping my daughter with her AS level Biology revision. It is going well and my daughter is finding Gale's approach really helpful and encouraging. Thank you Gale!
Dear Jilly,
Many thanks for your positive feedback. I don't envy Danielle sitting the first run of a brand new A level, but will do what I can to ensure she gets the (good) grade she deserves,
Gale
From Alison
My daughter has only had a few sessions with Gale but she is already much happier and more confident with the AS Biology topics they have covered. It has undoubtedly been a good move to use Gale's expertise and calming influence. We can definitely recommend her.
Dear Alison, Many thanks for your kind review. Kirsty is a very responsive and able student and has the potential to secure a good grade at A level.
