Catherine is a super teacher, a real shame that she is currently poorly and can no longer teach us.
Thank you for your feedback - I am so sorry my ill health means that I am unable to teach at present.

From Jo
Catherine tutored my daughter for her ALevels and made a significant impact - moving her grade up from B to A. Catherine’s approach, based around exam questions and exam techniques, alongside a lovely friendly approach, was spot on. Highly recommended.
Thank you for your feedback - it was a privilege to support your daughter with her A-level Biology - I was thrilled to hear that she got her A grade! I really enjoyed working with her - she consistently worked so very hard during and outside of our lessons, acting on all advice. I wish her every success and happiness for the future! Best wishes, Catherine
From Rosa
Catherine’s tutoring helped my daughter massively in Biology getting into her firm choice for Medicine. She started off at a high B and ended up a few marks off an A* in a span of 3 months. She is knowledgeable and helpful, planning out the lessons in advance and provides excellent resources and feedback after each lesson, which helped my daughter improve. She talks through exam questions as well to help with application. I cannot recommend her enough!
Dear Rosa, Many thanks for your lovely feedback - it was such a privilege to work with your daughter who was so hardworking and totally committed to getting into Medicine. I wish her every success as she starts university. She will make a wonderful doctor! Best wishes to you both, Catherine

Dear Mel, Thank you so much for your lovely comments! It was such an absolute privilege to work with your daughter - she was consistently hardworking and totally committed to her A-level Biology. She also acted on all advice, especially on exam techniques that she said also helped with her other subjects! Your daughter totally deserved her great grade in A-level Biology - and her place at a top university. I wish her every success and happiness there! Best wishes, Catherine
From Julie
I can’t express enough thanks for the commitment and hard work that Catherine put into tutoring my son. Her dedication to improving his results paid off throughout the time they worked together as his grades continually improved. This was no mean feat and my son expressed how Catherine had quite simply been his favourite teacher when compared to all others - coming from a student who initially found the huge amount of content in the A Level Biology syllabus very daunting and hard to manage. Thank you Catherine, your genuine desire to help my son achieve success is enormously appreciated.
Thank you for your lovely feedback, Julie. It was a privilege to work with your son and he so deserves to realise his full (and considerable!) academic potential in August. Very best wishes to you both, Catherine
From Jing
Catherine has been very helpful in the short period of time she was teaching my daughter , unfortunately she is no longer able to teach due to her health.
I wish her recover very soon.
Thanks
From Shaila
Extremely lucky to find Catherine in the vast pool of biology tutors out there. Catherine is professional, nurturing, understands her students and above all knows how to teach. Being an examiner, she also knows the exam techniques needed to get those extra marks. She has taught my daughter for two years A level Biology and we couldn’t have done it without her.
Dear Shaila, Thank you for your lovely feedback. It was my privilege to help your daughter with her A level Biology over the last two years. Kind regards, Catherine
From Kate
I really cannot recommend Catherine more highly, she is quite simply an exceptional teacher. Catherine has tutored my daughter in her Biology A Level for the last 16 months during which time, and thanks to her expert and sensitive tutorage, my daughters understanding and enjoyment of the subject has increased hugely and as a result of this, she has gone from a predicted C grade to an A/B (with an A in her mocks). Catherine is a very patient and approachable tutor , and is incredibly supportive and caring - my daughter has struggled with her mental health during her last year of A Levels, resulting in lots of missed school and low confidence, and I genuinely believe that Catherine's calm and supportive tutor sessions, always followed up by lovely positive e-mail's to my daughter after each session, have made a massively positive impact on her mentally and on her confidence overall. She went into her final A level last Friday feeling very positive and so well prepped by Catherine, and my daughter and I cannot thank her enough for all she has done to prepare and support her with her Biology A Level.
Dear Kate, Thank you so very much for your lovely comments and feedback. It was my privilege to support and work with your daughter for over a year. She fully deserves success at the highest levels in her A-level Biology! Best wishes to you both, Catherine
From Mrs
Catherine has been an excellent tutor and has provided a lot of tailored support! My daughter has enjoyed every single lesson and has progressed a lot! Catherine has always looked to go the extra mile - Providing detailed notes, setting homework, and reviewing work. This has been extremely helpful! Catherine has a tailoured approach and has always provided excellent centered support! As well as keeping regular contact with my daughter, Catherine is continuously providing me with detailed feedback on my daughter's progress which is very important! I would highly recommend Catherine.
Thank you very much for everything!
Many thanks for your lovely feedback! It has been an absolute privilege to work with your daughter and I wish her every success at A-level and beyond. Catherine
From Joanne
Catherine has proved to be a warm, friendly and thoroughly professional tutor. She has worked hard with our son during his final year of A Level Biology. Catherine was always very prepared for the sessions and supplied detailed resources beforehand, tailored to each area of revision. Catherine would aim her support carefully, promote self-confidence and was always positive in the online sessions. Communication between Catherine and ourselves was regular, specific, informative and constructive. Thank you for your support Catherine - we all really appreciated your hard work and encouragement.
Thank you so very much for your lovely comments, Jo! As you know, it was my privilege to work with your son over the last few months and he fully deserves every success at A-level and beyond. Catherine
From Seon
My child had been tutored by Catherine for only 5 lessons. Her teaching was straight forward feedback and next steps were provided after each lesson which was helpful. My child feels more confident despite only having a few lessons with Catherine. It is shame that Catherine could not carry on tutoring due to her other commitment which was unexpected. Thank you and all the best Catherine.
From Jo
Catherine has been absolutely fantastic for my year 13 daughter. Lockdown hit and we knew she would benefit from additional support. She’s bright and does pretty well but we were looking for that added ingredient to secure and A or A*. I’m pretty confident we found the perfect support. She has designed really focused sessions with detailed materials tailored to the areas my daughter has asked for help. She has helped to de mystify sone of the more challenging areas of the syllabus. Catherine is an experienced tutor but is also an examiner so she really understands what is being looked for and has given my daughter insight into HOW to approach and structure answers. She has given my daughter lots of helpful feedback and I love her really positive, motivational style that instils confidence. She also maintains contact with me as a parent which has been really helpful and reassuring. The final proof will be in the results but I would thoroughly recommend Catherine and certainly plan to use her again if my younger child takes biology too.
Dear Jo Many thanks for your lovely feedback! It is great to work with your daughter and see her gain confidence in her considerable ability. She listens carefully to advice and quickly grasps the more challenging concepts and processes in Biology. She is a pleasure and privilege to teach! Kind regards, Catherine
From Louise
We wanted to feedback that we found Catherine to be an excellent tutor. From the first email she was professional and informative and continued to be so in all her replies. On her weekly meetings with our daughter she provided the highest standard of teaching, care and support that we could have wanted. She kept us informed of our daughters progress in a very constructive style especially when our daughter was struggling, and her continued support meant that she taught her right up until the night before the final exam. We were very grateful for all her input, thank you.
Thank you for your kind feedback. It was a pleasure to work with your daughter and support her with her A-level Biology.
From Vicky
Catherine is a wonderful tutor. She helped my daughter develop her exam technique, as well as go over the course content in detail that was given in a clear and easy to understand way. Her knowledge of the subject is excellent. Catherine has a very positive approach to teaching with lots of helpful encouragement with good comments to help with confidence when learning complex topics. She helped my daughter go from a D to an A at A Level. I would highly recommend Catherine!
Thank you so much for your lovely comments. It wss an absolute privilege to support your daughter who so deserved her A grade in A level Biology.
From Sarah-Jane
Just wanted to provide feedback to you on your tutoring with my son for his iGCSE Biology. You were a fantastic tutor for him, prompt and very well prepared, having discussed with him in advance the areas of biology he wanted to cover. You explained aspects of the course to him carefully and provided information, practice questions and papers which you then spent time going over with him to show him how he could improve his answers. You gave him excellent tips on exam technique which helped him go from a shaky A in his mock exam to a confident A* in his actual iGCSE in a few short months. He is now doing really well on his A Level Biology course and gets great enjoyment from studying biology. Thank you so much for your time and efforts on his behalf and I would highly recommend your services.
Thank you so much for this lovely feedback! It was an absolute privilege to support your son with his IGCSE Biology and I am delighted that he is thriving on the A-level Biology course. I wish him every success with his 'next steps'.
From Saima
Although it has only been a couple of week's since my brother started his Biology tuition with Catherine, my mum and I have really noticed the difference.
He is able to understand topics better, and he tells us that Catherine's explanations really make the concepts stick. Catherine has also had a hand in getting my brother organised in relation to finally finishing off his first draft of his personal statement. Her prior experience in teaching and Sixth Form administration is invaluable.
Catherine is very accommodating and efficient. I would thoroughly recommend her to others seeking tuition in Biology.
It is a pleasure to support Saima's brother with his A-level Biology studies. He is focused and motivated, making good progress and acting on advice. Well done!
From Grace
Catherine is a great tutor who is helping me to improve my understanding, knowledge and exam technique giving me confidence in my ability. I would definitely recommend her.
It is an absolute privilege to support Grace with her A level Biology. She has gained confidence in her ability which is a real tribute to her hard work, motivation and commitment during and outside her lessons with me. Well done, Grace!
From Emily
Excellent tutor , helping my daughter to gain confidence in the three sciences . Excellent communications skills liasing well with myself and daughter at all times . My daughter is learning so much from these sessions and I am sure this will greatly benefit her when she does her GCSEs in May. I would highly recommend this Tutor .
It is an absolute privilege to work with Emily. She is a highly conscientious and motivated student who is always very focused and positive during our lessons. Emily consistently acts on advice and is gaining confidence in her ability. Well done, Emily.
