Our daughter needed tutoring support on past GCSE questions to increase her understanding of the topics and apply the appropriate knowledge to the questions. Suzanne helped her gain a better understanding of how to answer the questions in the most mark-efficient way. She was predicted a 7, and she got a 9. Thank you.
Thank you - your daughter did very well and made such an improvement. We concentrated on making sure that she had covered and understood all the content in the specification. She also did lots of past paper questions making sure that she understood how the questions were being marked from the relevant mark scheme. I was very pleased with her progress and she achieved an excellent result! Well done!
From Robyn
We contacted Suzanne at the end of my son's first year of GCSE's as he was struggling to come to grips with Chemistry. She was brilliant with him, very encouraging which built his confidence. The lessons were very well structured & she made them interesting. His comment after the first few lessons was that she has a way of teaching that just makes things stick. He ended up with two A's for the Double Award - thanks so much Suzanne!
Thank you - your son did very well and improved enormously over the year. I was very pleased to see his excellent results which were very much deserved. We concentrated on making sure the syllabus was covered properly and understood. This coupled with lots of past questions. Nearer to the exams we also concentrated on the past papers making sure all of the different styles of questions were tackled. We also concentrated on looking at the recall type questions as well as the practical based questions. He did very well!!
From Fleur
Suzanne approaches A level topics in a clear and easy to understand way, which has helped my daughter feel more comfortable with chemistry as a subject. She feels more confident to tackle questions that would have stumped her a few months ago, building on her understanding by completing some each lesson. I feel that she will be in a good position to take on her upper sixth year with Suzanne's support.
Your daughter is doing really well and I am very pleased with her progress. She certainly has improved. We have been concentrating on making sure the syllabus is covered properly. Then after each topic has been covered we have a look at the past questions especially the more challenging ones.
From chris
Good combination of didactic syllabus teaching combined with exam technique.
Your son is doing extremely well. We have been concentrating on the more challenging parts of the A-level syllabus making sure that all the detail is covered and understood and then supplementing the theory with harder past exam questions. I have also been giving advice on how some of these questions should be structured in the exam.
From Sharon
My daughter wanted help for her last year of A-levels and is absolutely thrilled with Suzanne she is really knowledgeable and my daughter has already gained more confidence, i am sure her grades will improve with Suzanne’s Professional tuition, we feel lucky to have found her Thankyou
Your daughter is doing very well and I am very pleased with her progress. She has definitely improved. We have been concentrating on reviewing the parts of the syllabus that she feels that she needs more help with. We are also looking at the harder past questions. Ones that I feel need to be practiced in order to achieve the higher grades.
From R
Suzanne, Has been very helpful, patient and supportive. My son finds her lessons very useful.
Thank you. Your son is doing really well and is improving with every lesson. We have been concentrating on the harder parts of the GCSE course which include the calculations.
From Jenny
Suzanne is tutoring my daughter Charlotte in her Chemistry A level resit. Suzanne quickly identified areas which Charlotte needs to work on, and structures the lessons very well. Charlotte feels that Suzanne explains things very clearly, and she really enjoys the lessons. We would highly recommend Suzanne.
Thank you. Charlotte is doing really well. We have identified the topics that she feels she needs to go over again. We are going through them in detail to make sure that all the syllabus has been covered. Charlotte has been doing past questions and soon we will start to look at the harder past exam questions so that she feels confident when structuring her answers in the exams.
From Vanita
Suzanne has been tutoring my son over the last 5 weeks, so far we and my son are very pleased with the progress he is making.
Suzanne is very organised and comes to the lesson prepared, the lessons are structured and delivered well any topics which he is not certain of is explained until he understands, he also feels that he is able to ask questions when unsure. My son is enjoying the lessons and has no hesitation, which is a big plus!
Thank you Suzanne.
I am very pleased with how your son is doing. He is improving steadily and making really great progress. We have been concentrating on addressing topics that he felt that he didn’t understand in year 12. We go through the topic looking especially at any misconceptions and then I set homework on the topic and use it to make sure that he now understands. After we have done this we will then move onto the year 13 topics and we will again revise any that need to be and as well as that I will be teaching new topics so that he feels prepared in class. An excellent start has been made!
From Amber
A huge thank you Suzanne. In only a matter of weeks the total transformation in confidence, knowledge and enjoyment has been fantastic to see.
Thank you. We have been looking through the content of the IGCSE syllabus making sure that it is understood and practised. There has been a big improvement in confidence over the past few weeks. Recently we have been looking at the calculations and the understanding has been excellent. Your son is making excellent progress.
From Sheeraz
My daughter is very happy with her lessons with Suzanne.
Thank you! Your daughter is doing very well. We have been concentrating on looking at past paper questions and how to answer them successfully. We have been especially concentrating on looking at the six mark questions that come up on GCSE papers and how to answer them.
From Steve
My daughter has only had one lesson but came away very satisifed and will continue with Suzanne.
Your daughter has made an excellent start. At the moment we have been concentrating on making sure that she understands the work completely. I have been setting past paper questions for homework which are marked before the next lesson with any feedback on misconceptions given at the start of the next lesson.
From Kim
Amazing teacher. Suzanne is very well organised, really helpful and patient and has improved my daughter’s knowledge, understanding and confidence in only 3 weeks of teaching. An excellent tutor and worth every penny.
Thank you for the very kind comments. Your daughter has already improved and I am very pleased with her progress so far. We are using the syllabus to make sure that everything is covered and also looking at as many past paper examination questions as possible.
From Charlotte
We have started working with Suzanne only a month ago and my son (year 12) keeps telling me how amazing she is. She explains things really simply yet effectively. She is always available and gives him lots of confidence. We needed help with revisions and practice exam questions and because of her experience she is great at doing this. I would really recommend Suzanne. She is friendly and super professional.
Thank you for your very kind comments. Your son is doing very well and I am very pleased with his progress so far. He easily understands the concepts and can apply them to past questions with much success. I am sure that he will do very well in his upcoming exams.

From Angela
I was looking for a chemistry tutor to give my son some help with his A level revision during the summer. We wanted a well organised and reliable tutor who knows the subject really well, and could deal with the harder questions. Suzanne didn’t disappoint us. She is very professional and polite in her contact and all our communication. My son instantly felt that Suzanne could help him to raise his understanding and his grades, and that she knew the subject well and could transfer her knowledge successfully. They also work on exam papers and she gives him very useful feedback which is crucial for his exam technique. He had five sessions so far, and we will continue into the new school year. I strongly recommend Suzanne if you’re looking for an excellent chemistry tutor.
Thank you for your very kind comments.
Your son is an excellent student. We started going through topics that he found he needed more consolidation on or was dropping marks on in questions. Now those have been completed we have moved on to looking at past papers. He does a past paper for homework and then sends me it for marking. In the lesson we concentrate on the parts that he found difficult and I revise through any concepts that we feel he needs more help on after answering questions on the paper. I can already see an improvement in marks and grade achieved. Well done!
From Liz
Suzanne has been extremely professional targeted and attuned in her support of my daughters chemistry A level studies. I thoroughly recommend her.
Thank you for your very kind comments.
Your daughter is an excellent student and has worked really hard. I can see an improvement already. We have been going through the content she is studying at the moment at school so that she can feel confident with it. We have also been revising past concepts which she found difficult when she first studied them.
From S
Suzanne has been brilliant. My son only started sessions recently to help with A levels and has already seen improvements. She breaks things down and ensures the content is understood. Thank you Suzanne.
Thank you for the very kind comments. Your son has improved immensely in just a few lessons. He is never afraid to ask when he is not sure of a concept or a question. I am sure that he has done very well in his end of year exams.
From Kalpna
Suzanne is a excellent tutor and i would highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for a professional tutor. She makes my daughter feel very comfortable in order for her to express her weaknesses and then help her focus on improving these areas. She delivers exactly as she promises.
Thank you for the very kind comments. Your daughter is doing really well and I am very pleased with her progress. She is a pleasure to teach!
From Elizabeth
Absolutely wonderful first lesson. Suzanne asked about my plans and explained what her background was in teaching chemistry. Which is extensive. Then had a really great first lesson. Suzanne is very good at explaining things and I ended the lesson on a high.
Thank you for your very kind comments.
You did really well and very quickly picked up the shapes of molecule concepts. A pleasure to teach! Well done!

From Gaynor
Michael has made an excellent start. He has a plan in place and is getting plenty of homework to help him achieve his goals. Very pleased with Suzanne's help and guidance for him.
Michael has made an excellent start. We have been identifying areas of weakness and working on them as well as exam technique. One area we will be working on as the exams approach will be the practical techniques questions that now will be asked in the new A-level examinations. Well done, Michael - you have made a great start!
From Margaret
Excellent tuition from Suzanne; she is friendly, student centred and supportive. She really knew how to bring the best out of my son and was extremely well informed about the Scottish curriculum. I would recommend her without hesitation. Thank you Suzanne for everything you've done!

Finlay has improved immensely and has tackled some hard questions with much more confidence. He is making excellent progress which is very pleasing.
Finlay's lessons have been by FaceTime which has proved to be a very successful way of tutoring.
From Christina
I can't praise Suzanne highly enough. My son loves his lessons with her and his confidence is growing as a result. I am so pleased!
Thank you for your kind comments.
His confidence is growing as the lessons progress and I am very pleased with his progress so far. We have been looking at the harder aspects of the syllabus which he seems to be mastering.
From Mohammed
Suzanne is a wonderful teacher. She is very experienced and professional. She can spot the student weaknesses and correct them. She keeps teenager students interested in chemistry and push them into working hard. My son used to have grade c in chemistry before starting with Suzanne and used to hate the subject. After his tutoring, he found chemistry easy and achieved a comfortable A* in his gcse. I strongly recommend Suzanne, in fact my second son has started tuition with Suzanne this year. Many thanks for all your hard work with Mo and best wishes. Amal
Thank you for your kind comments. Mo started with me at the beginning of Year 11 and worked really hard throughout the year. He practiced as many past questions as possible and went on to do all of the past papers which I marked and gave feedback on. His confidence grew as he improved his marks and he could see where he went wrong. Mo went on to achieve a high A* grade in the actual GCSE exam which he deserved. Good luck Mo now in your A-level studies.
From Vicki
Suzanne gave my son so much confidence! From a predicted Alevel B grade he actually received a strong A grade!
Thank you - he did exceptionally well in his A-level Chemistry and deserved to with all the hard work he put in. We made sure everything in the syllabus was covered and practiced lots of past exam questions concentrating on attention to detail which enabled him to achieve the top grade. Well done!!
From Christine

From Amanda
WE are really pleased with the progress Alexander has made with Suzanne, he is more confident in his approach and I'm sure he will do well in the exams. He has been taught aspects of chemistry that have never been fully explained at his school. We would not hesitate in recommending Suzanne to other students. Amanda Donald
Alexander's knowledge and confidence in this subject have greatly increased over the past few weeks. He has been working very hard and has seen himself improve. Alexander deserves to do very well in his final A-level examinations. I am sure that he will succeed.
