Sally has been amazingly supportive, encouraging, patient and dedicated to teaching the children in making sure they understand and learn all areas of their schooling needs. We are fortunate to have her.
Hi Rachael Knowing M had passed the 11+ I was so happy to hear that this term has started well as a year 7 pupil at Bishops. I was also so pleased to hear after all her hard work that B has also passed her 11+ ready to start at SWGS next year all being well.
From Daniel
Excellent approach and highly recommend
From Louise
Sally has been brilliant at boosting my 15 year olds confidence in Maths. In the space of 4 months his GCSE grade has gone from a grade 2 to a 5! She offers a very professional service, explains things in a clear way and is very approachable. I would highly recommend her.
From Lizzie
Professional, helpful and enthusiastic tutor. Thank you!
Hi Lizzie Thank you for your feedback. Glad I can help with the GCSE maths.

From Sarah
Sally is an excellent Tutor. She has given my 15 year old daughter a new lease of life with her studies for GCSE Maths. Sally is highly organised and has a genuine interest in her students. My daughter was on target for a 4/5 and now with Sally's help is aiming to achieve a 7/8. She thoroughly enjoys her sessions with Sally and is enjoying Maths too - as it is now making sense!
From Kelly
Thank you very much Sally, for working with my son from February - the end of the school year. Your help, expertise, and organization were most appreciated. Your special "study booklets" you created with the essential information, really helped my son get back on track. Your teaching style and support for Sam gave him confidence that he was lacking with the different system here as well. We are so grateful for your help!
From Suzanne
Sally has been absolutely fantastic tutoring my daughter. She has really built up her confidence and self belief and this has manifested itself in amazing improvements in her Maths tests. Despite being in the 4th set in Maths she just received the best Maths score in the year at the Grammar School!
Sally is also super reliable and great at communicating with us.
Couldn't recommend Sally more highly!
From Helen
Sally has tutored my Son in both GCSE Science and more recently Maths. During those sessions Sally has been both professional and reliable. The approach used by Sally to teach is one of calm and confidence and has helped build my Sons’ confidence, and her advice has been very helpful. Although we have only been having sessions for approx 8 Weeks Sally has quickly identified areas of weakness in the subject and been quick to put together a package of study aids and helpful websites that he can access to supplement his independ learning alongside her tutoring . Thank you Sally .
From Georgia
Sally is tutoring my son Luca in Chemistry and Biology at GCSE level. He was really struggling with these subjects and in need of help. He has found Sally’s teaching very helpful indeed - feedback from him has been enthusiastic! His sessions with Sally have really renewed his confidence and given him a much needed renewed positive approach. 100% recommendation from us!
From Angela
Sally began A' Level P.E lessons with our son at a late stage in the Curriculum. He was majorly out of his depth in the subject and she took the situation in hand with great confidence and sense of purpose. She quickly picked up on John's style of learning and adapted the lessons to him. John's relief at being able to understand what he'd found impossible was tangible. No results as yet but Sally undoubtedly turned a miserable learning experience into a positive one.
Hi Angela Super pleased John achieved a great grade at 'A level despite the short time we had to sort things out. His hard work and determination made him worthy of such a great grade.I hope he enjoys Exeter University.

From Nicki
We are extremely pleased with the progress Rachael has made. She was struggling with her confidence. Sally's approach has identified the areas where she was feeling insecure and has helped her to structure her approach to maths so that she knows feels confident to tackle problems she would have struggled with before. We would recommend Sally to anyone looking for a maths tutor.
Many thanks Nicki for your feedback and I'm so glad Rachael is gaining in confidence and as a consequence her results in class have improved so much.
From Sandra
Sally has already helped immeasurably . She responded very quickly to my initial request for a tutor and has given sound sensible advice from day one. She has replied promptly to emails and phone calls and is very approachable and instills confidence.
From Simon
Sally has been a huge help bridging our son’s knowledge gaps in key stage 3 Chemistry, Biology and Maths. He has recently moved between schools and found that the curriculum was not covered in as much detail at his previous school compared to his new school.
Sally quickly ascertained his requirements and through tailored lesson planning, has helped him to regain his confidence in each subject. Structured, enthusiastic sessions with hands on learning has been of great benefit. We would have no hesitation in recommending Sally as a top quality tutor!
From Alice
We have only had a few lessons and wish we had had more as seems very thorough
From Adam
Before tuition with Sally our daughter was really struggling with even some of the basic concepts of Maths. Sally has proven to be an excellent choice for our daughter and she has rapidly progressed in a very short space of time. Sally's teaching methods are superb and very easy to understand and have not only given our daughter the basic building blocks but also much more insight into the more difficult aspects she was lacking.
Sally is very professional, kind and approachable and our daughter has been totally at ease working with her. I would highly recommend Sally for anyone considering tuition for their child.
Hi Adam So glad Savannah hit level 4 in her SATS. The progress she made from her starting position of a level 3C just seven months earlier is superb. Well done savannah, all that hard work has paid off.
From Robert
Sally was able to bring clarity to us about so many issues that had been troubling us about our children's performance and their schools expectations. Most importantly Sally has a fantastic way with the children & gripped their interest from the outset. I would highly recommend Sally for her ability as a tutor but also for her huge knowledge of 'the system'. Thank You Sally.
From Carolyn
I can not recommend Sally highly enough as a tutor. Our daughter had completely lost confidence in her subject due to very poor teaching, she was coming out with a possible C/D grade having done badly in her A1. Sally tutored her from September to April. Her approach to the topic was structured and clear. She was able to quickly assess Annie's potential and ascertain the areas that required attention. Her depth of knowledge is outstanding and her enthusiasm and patience ensured that my daughter was able to make up the lost ground and move forward. Thanks to Sally my daughter was one mark off an A* as her final A level result - as a recommendation this last point probably says it all!
From Nicholas
Fantastic! Thank you both for your help with Izzy. Your input has really raised her confidence and knowledge and she really enjoyed the sessions. She thinks you were the best teachers she has ever had!
From Suzanne
Hi could you email me directly as I am having difficulties through the web site in contacting Sally. My email is **E-mail Address Removed**
From Richard
Sally, since your visits to Darcy we have noticed a vast improvement in both her ability and confidence with Maths. It is truly astonishing the progress she has made in a relatively short space of time, and as Darcy has pointed out, you always make lesson fun. Thank you for all your hard work, enthusiasm and empathy you have shown so far. Looking forward to Darcy achieving her goals with your continued support.
From Richard
Sally is an outstanding Tutor. Our daughter’s results and attitude changed overnight with her guidance. Within days, our daughter was saying “I now get it” and “I don’t worry as much as I have the confidence".
Sally has been an accurate barometer of our daughter's studying, exams and confidence. She instinctively understands the needs of an individual and has the wisdom of Solomon when advising the right course of action for education. Sally brings innovation and personality to each tutor session.
A dedicated, conscientious and most professional Tutor. She is ruthlessly efficient, well-organised, and has a calming influence. We have watched our daughter’s results, confidence and happiness in education increase dramatically since Sally started tutoring her.
Put simply, she embodies what all teachers should be and I would recommend Sally to any parent.
Hi Richard Thank you so much for such a kind reflection on the tutoring I have done with Shannon. It was great to know she passed the March GCSE exam. On her effort alone she deserved this. Many thanks Sally
From Lisa
Thank you Sally for being very dedicated to helping our daughter. You have really encouraged Hannah to believe in herself and her capabilities.
From Diana
Could not be happier with Sally. Our daughter enjoys her lessons with her and really engages with the work.
From Imogen
Superb! Imogen says she has so much more confidence in class as her understanding of the subject(s) has improved. She says she was particularly impressed with how you assessed and identified her weak areas and tailored the lessons accordingly. Imogen remarks on how easy you are to get on with and that you make her feel comfortable. As a parent I have found communicating with you is excellent and your advice always sound. Our only regret is that we didn't find you sooner! Thank you.
From Melanie
Sally really made my 8 yr old daughter Amelia feel at ease right from the start and she always looked forward to her lessons, Amelias confidence has grown and she is doing a lot better at school. We will continue if possible with lessons from Sally , if we can find the time to fit them in .
From Rachel
Sally really built confidence and enjoyment in our Daughters Maths sessions! Victoria is thriving in her Maths lessons at school now! It is a big 5* from us! Thank you Sally.
From Barbara
Sally worked with my Granddaughter Year 10 who had lost all confidence and felt she was hopeless. Sally always presented as positive when she worked with her taking the attitude ' we shall be doing this and you will be able to do and understand it' - which she did. Each session she experienced success and began to believe she knew more than she thought After a few sessions my Granddaughter looked forward to her lessons and felt much more confident in what she was doing. I would recommend Sally as a teacher.
From Caroline
Sally's explanations were very clear and easy to follow. Just what I needed for my up and coming IGCSE. The time spent with Sally was productive and I know I learnt alot. Sally is an excellent teacher and I recommend her highly.
From John
Only two visits and already our two children have made progress. Both have/had an avowed fear and loathing of maths. In two lessons Sally has persuaded them that they can 'do' maths and that really there is nothing to be afraid of. Exactly how maths should be taught.
Exceptionally flexible and very well-prepared for lessons, Sally is an absolute gift.
