Cathy is very knowledgeable and has great teaching experience. She worked with my dayghter to adapt their lessons to help build her confidence in economics and tailored their work to follow the required Alevel syllabus. Cathy was extremely flexible and was really supportive and encouraging. Cathy helped my daughter move from Ds and Cs up to a strong B grade in her Alevel (was a couple of marks off an A!). Would recommend Cathy to everyone.
From Andrew
Cathy is an excellent Economics tutor. My teenage daughter had a disrupted 1st year A-level course due to teacher absence and at the time was obtaining D and E grades in her assessments. With Cathy’s support over a period of months her understanding of the subject and importantly self confidence steadily increased and today she was awarded a B in her Economics A level and secured her place at her university of choice. We both really appreciate Cathy’s significant input into this achievement and would not hesitate to recommend her. Thanks Cathy!
From Kathryn
Cathy has been really good for my son, she is patient and understanding and knows just how to challenge him to get him to the required standard. She was both approachable and flexible and agreed to tutor him in person and remotely to save us some travelling time . This blended approach to learning seems to have worked well. I would definitely recommend her. She has submitted the Centre Assessed Grade and so we will just have to wait and see now .
From Alison
Cathy is very knowledgeable on Economics and approachable and friendly. She has made and immediate impact on my daughters knowledge and understanding of Economics and we are really pleased with our daughters progress as she does feel she has a better understanding of economics already.
Cathy arrives on time and is very efficient with the one hour time hour time slot. Cathy also arrives with past economic exam papers.
From Derek
Hi Cathy,
Thank you for your patience and excellent work with our son who managed to achieve an A grade in his A levels. James enjoyed working with you and we would have no hesitation in recommending you as a Tutor.
Thanks Again
From Tracy
We can not thank Cathy enough for her excellent tuition. Our son has just achieved a grade A in Economics at A Level and is now looking forward to beginning his Economics degree at university. Cathy is very professional, very experienced and very committed. You will not find a better tutor.
From Marie-France
Cathy is a great teacher and thanks to her help and competence our daughter became more confident with accounting and exceeded her target grade as she achieved an A at A-level. We will definitely recommend Cathy as she is a very good tutor.
From Gary
Cathy provided brilliant support for Callum, providing focus, clarity and insight. Definitely recommend using Cathy to support A level study.
From Bernadette
Cathy is an excellent Tutor and we cannot thank her enough for working with our son. His confidence improved from the first session and his grade improved from a D (in his mocks) to a B and he is now embarking on his Economics degree course at Leeds Beckett University.
I would recommend Cathy to everyone (and have done!).
From Lisa
If I could give Cathy 10 out of 5 I would! She was a key factor in my son going from D to A and getting into his first choice Uni to take Business Economics, She was excellent at working with Tom the way that worked for him, and hence building his engagement and confidence (he had a previous tutor that totally put him off the idea of having a tutor, luckily he reluctantly agreed to give it another try and Cathy instantly clicked with him!). Her years of teaching experience are invaluable, she was able to very quickly work out both what areas he didn't fully understand, but more importantly how Tom learns best, and engage him in his preferred style! Tom was particularly impressed that Cathy researched and worked on questions from his exam board, even though her school used a different board! I am very confident he will start Uni with a real advantage totally because of his time with Cathy! Also she had him fully ready for the exams well before the final dates, thus reducing his stress during the exams which again really helped him! I would wholeheartedly recommend anyone to contact Cathy!!! We have used a number of tutors and Cathy was easily the best!!! Thank you so much Cathy!!!
From Diane
Cathy is first Class. An outstanding tutor who came to our home and tutored our son in Economics. He has just gained a B grade at A level after struggling with its concepts. Thank you!… HIGHLY RECOMMEND and will keep your details should any one we know need your expertise
From John
We cannot thank Cathy enough for her help with our son. Her teaching skills are exceptional. When Cathy started tutoring our son he had a fundamental lack of understanding and interest in Economics having gained a 'U' grade at AS level. His understanding and interest increased dramatically in no small part to Cathy. He has now completed his A level securing an overall 'B' grade (his final two papers were 'A' and 'B'. Thanks for all your help Cathy in helping him to reach his potential.
From Alex
From a D to an A! Cathy made economics fun and interesting, giving me confidence in the subject. I'm off to university thanks to Cathy :-)
From Eirian
Cathy tutored my daughter for 2 years and we couldn't have found anyone better! My daughter achieved an A* at A level as a result of all Cathy's hard work. Excellent tutor!
From Yun
Cathy managed to accomodate our last minute request which is very helpful. Ben feels that he has gained better understanding on the Macro Economics throught Cathy's tutorial. We look forward to see Ben's improved exam result soon.
From Elizabeth
Cathy has tutored my daughter for two years and her tuition has been invaluable. She helped with essay structure and multiple choice question technique so that the exams were approached in a logical way as Cathy did lots of practice beforehand.
From Tom
Cathy has been really easy to liaise with to sort lesson times etc. She has been reliable and straightforward. My son has just started working with Cathy he enjoys the sessions and Cathy has already pointed us towards an extra book that my son needs.
From Jamie
Really useful sessions leading up to exam period, definitely made the difference in helping to boost my grades
From Wendy
I thoroughly enjoyed my tutoring sessions with Cathy. Not only was she extremely knowledgeable around the subject, but she built up my confidence regarding exam technique which lead me to receive an A in my 'A Level' Economics. She went out of her way to give me as much support as possible by keeping in touch via email outside of tutoring sessions. I would highly recommend Cathy to anyone seeking a tutor for Economics.
From Hugh
Cathy was always very helpful and knowledgeable about the spec and what I needed to know , and went through practise questions verbally and on paper regularly and in a manner that allowed me to get an A overall in my economics A-level! She is also very friendly and we developed a good working relationship. I recommend her to others
From Khusroo
Great teacher, very kind and understanding, I felt very comfortable around her and I ended up getting 85% in my economics exam because of her help highly recommend to anyone!
From Susan
My son is really enjoying the lessons , he looks forward to going for his lesson and finds they are helping him a lot,so much so that he is considering studying the subject at university.I would highly recommend Cathy
From George
Cathy is a really excellent tutor who quickly identified the problems and how best to tutor my son. She helped him succeed in gaining an A in Economics.
From Jacqueline
Cathy is a very supportive and enthusiastic tutor and in 3 sessions my sons confidence has improved greatly. Hopefully this will be reflected in his summer examinations
From Jill
Cathy has been tutoring my son in economics for the last few weeks in preparation for January exams and is clearly knowledgeable on the subject. As well as working through the course content and past papers with my son, she has given some much needed focus on exam techniques - something that my son needs and will hopefully help him to achieve the higher grades. Cathy will also be tutoring him in business studies once the economics exams are out of the way. We have found Cathy to be friendly and approachable and she always arrives promptly for the sessions. I would not hesitate to recommend her to others.
