Alison has been fantastic with our son. He is 15 and has weekly online lessons with Alison, his knowledge is greatly improved as have his grades. Alison communicates with me regularly which really helps and our son has come to really enjoy his lessons.
Thank you so much for your kind words, G! It has been a real pleasure teaching H and see him grow in confidence and ability. Looking forward to him doing really well in the Summer exams. Alison:)

My daughter enjoyed her lessons with Alison who was able to explain a complex subject clearly and gave my daughter a keen interest in this area

Alison is a down-to-earth teacher. In fact, since she started supporting my 14 years old, he is now deeply interested in science subjects. Alison is doing a great job!
That is marvellous to hear thank you. I am so glad he is deeply interested now! He's a pleasure to teach.
From Manoj
Alison has tutored my daughter for several weeks now and she already is building confidence. She says Alison is really great at helping her understanding and she gets a lot out of her sessions. I would happily recommend Alison.
From Robert
Alison has been a fantastic tutor for our year 11 daughter throughout this year. With all the disruption and time lost due to lockdown Alison has been provided invaluable support to her and made a huge difference. I would have no hesitation in recommending Alison as a tutor.
From Jane
Alison has been tutoring my daughter A level Biology for a few months now. She has developed a good relationship with my daughter and this makes her a great tutor because she understands my daughter’s learning style and needs. The result is that my daughter’s confidence in the subject has grown and I am sure this will translate into improved results.
From Karen
First Tutor have requested that we send you some feedback. Although you were friendly and professional, the structure of the tutorial wasn't engaging, and Holly felt there was no added value compared to her going through the textbook herself. I appreciate there was only one tutorial, and if she had stuck with it for longer, I'm sure you may have been able to help her, but the connection wasn't there.
I am sorry you felt that way. I did offer you a home visit to meet you and Holly to discuss how best to tutor her.
I only met Holly once for the free taster session. I offer this session to get to know each other and judge the best way to tutor. I did not meet you the parent. As you were observing the session I would have been delighted to have met you and discussed your expectations.
I do have a good revision structure that has enabled students to get good grades and be offered scholarships in prestigious colleges.
I wish you and Holly well.
From Zoe
Alison has been a breath of fresh air to my 15 year old daughter.
Throughout the first lockdown my daughter worked hard doing her school work remotely but I felt she had lost her confidence in.
Having had 3 lessons with Alison, my daughter has now got her mojo back. Alison covers sections of science my daughter felt lacking in and this has certainly helped her with her revision.
I would definitely recommend Alison :)
From Magdalena
Alison is a wonderful teacher. Very approachable and understanding when we had some difficulties with the on line log in. My daughter really likes all the science lessons, the tests make her revise and consolidate what she has learnt. We are very happy with Alison and we highly recommend her.
From Eva
I have met Alison briefly but unfortunately we couldn’t go ahead with the tutoring as we were not able to find a suitable time that suited both of us. However, she came across a very pleasant lady.
From Jo
Alison is a fantastic science tutor and an absolutely lovely lady. She has a very calm way of explaining even the most difficult of chemistry topics!
My daughter has been meeting with Alison since September and from the very first meeting they established a good rapport. In the short time that my daughter has been meeting with Alison she has made great progress in her combined science revision in preparation for her GCSE next year, she has also improved massively in her science confidence!
I can't recommend Alison highly enough.
Thank you so much Jo! What a wonderful review! It's been a pleasure to tutor your daughter.

Alison is the loveliest person you will meet and very engaging in everything that she does. She has been very helpful for my daughter studying GCSE Science and I would recommend her as a tutor for anyone struggling with the subject.
Thank you so much Emily! I have no doubts whatsoever that your daughter will become a wonderful vet one day with her quick thinking, excellent science comprehension and love for animals. Best wishes to you both.
