Alison's Feedback

From Grace

Alison my daughter the confidence to understand the content of the course and gave valuable advice in applying techniques. Her tuition enabled my daughter to improve from a grade 6 to grade 9 in her GCSE. Will be looking for Alison’s support when my daughter takes a A’level Chemistry and Biology.

Thank you, and very well done achieving the top grade. Here if you need me for the A levels.

From Awani

I wanted a chemistry and physics tutor who could help my year 8 child understand concepts and advanced level content( A levels).

Unfortunately it did not work out as Alison was more experienced and knowledgeable with GCSE combined science. We had only 1 class and then stopped

Thank-you for taking the time to leave feedback that I am ‘experienced and knowledgeable with GCSE Combined Science’. This tuition request was for GCSE combined science for a year 8 student - to help your daughter understand the concepts in Biology, Chemistry and Physics and ultimately advance her towards a GCSE grade 9. We only had one, introductory hour and an initial class is, amongst other things, about finding out the knowledge level of the learner and how best to adapt tuition to suit. As the class progressed and your daughter’s understanding and coverage of the topic became clearer we explored more detailed, advanced aspects, whilst bearing in mind that she is only in year 8 and had wanted help preparing for an upcoming test and had some areas for clarification. Teaching advanced (A level) concepts to this year group, especially on a first lesson wouldn't be appropriate.

From JAMES

Alison got to grips with what was needed straight away and has had an immediate effect.

Thanks - much appreciated.

From Robert

For the last 12 months Alison has helped my son with Year 13 A level mathematics. He became fully engaged with the one to one learning, this improved his understanding and imbedded the curriculum. Alison really helped my son through the course at a particularly challenging time with weekly online lessons and focusing on areas where her student felt the most help was needed. He now feels confident for the final examinations being taken in May. This would not have happened without Alison's teaching.

Many thanks, appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback - it's been a pleasure working with him and so glad the tuition's helped him through what has been a very, very challenging year. He has worked hard and shown himself to be a very able mathematician, which I hope is reflected in the final grade.

From Linda

Alison is a very nice lady and very knowledgeable, however my daughter's learning style did not match Alison's teaching style.

From Andy

Alison is brilliant, our daughter enjoys her lessons and learns a great deal.

Alison is very professional and provides well structured lessons that work.

Thank-you for the feedback, very much appreciate you taking the time and that she's enjoying her lessons.

From Marwan

Alison was extremely helpful, and during the short period she spent with Ali he was able to become very confident in his upcoming exams. Due to the Covid19, unfortunately lessons could not go ahead anymore.

Thank-you for the feedback. Ali was a conscientious and hard working student and I hope he gets the grade he was hoping for to continue his studies :)

From Nora

Alison is a knowledgable and capable tutor. Her lessons are well-structured, engaging and interesting. Valentina found them very useful.

I'm glad Valentina found the lessons useful. She's a pleasure to tutor.

From Meg

Alison has been an excellent tutor for my daughter ! My daughter enjoys the lessons with Alison ! She had made great progress and her love for the subject has grown along with her confidence . Will highly recommend Alison !

Thanks … and I very much enjoy tutoring her. She is keen to learn and participates in the lessons with enthusiasm and her maths continues to go from strength to strength.

From Abi

An amazing tutor! Very pleased with my daughter’s progress.

Thanks - she's a very keen student, willing to learn and a pleasure to tutor.

From Eugene

Alison is a wonderful teacher and my son is very happy with his lessons. He says they are really helping him with his dual science Gcse.

From Jane

Alison has been working with my 16-year-old stepson to help him prepare or a GCSE Maths re-sit. We have been VERY impressed by all aspects of her work. She gives us regular feedback on his progress and has sent us links to several useful websites to help with his revision. I would not hesitate to recommend her as a Tutor. She is simply superb!

From Angela

Alison has been very positive for our son. He feels that she knows the subject areas extremely well. We asked Alison to focus on exam technique & marking schemes etc & she has completely tailored the sessions around that. For a 15 year old boy to notice the benefits, complete additional work & be pleased to attend says it all! We will definitely use Alison again for our other children.

Thanks, much appreciated and very glad to hear Oliver has benefit already

From Kath

Alison, Sian and I are really pleased! Within the first hour with you Sian felt far more comfortable with science in general and that things were making sense. The book that you recommended has made a huge difference too. Wish we'd done something earlier and we'll definitely be carrying on (hoping you'll have space!) next year.

Thanks

Kath & Sian

Thanks for taking the time to write and glad the sessions are helping :)

From Naveed

My son Shahab had some excellent tutoring in Biology from Alison. In a short time, his confidance grew and he was happy with his performance in As Biology examination. I am grateful to Alison for a job well done.

Thanks for the positive feedback and I'm glad Shahab found the lessons useful - I certainly found him a pleasure to tutor. Let me know how he got on when results come through.

From Jennie

Thank you so much for guiding Hannah through her A level Biology course work and revision programme. You had a soft and gentle approach that helped Hannah gain more confidence in both herself and her studies. I know the time was short but you covered a lot of ground and helped Hannah structure her revision porogramme and better consolidate her learning. We do now look forward to the results much more positively! Thank you.

Many thanks and I hope the exam went well.

From Simon

very helpful assessment. Will be back if needed.

Thanks - glad to be of help.
