Deborah has made a difference from week 1 to my son’s understanding of the subject. We are very grateful to have found her.
From Sophie
Deborah is tutoring my daughter for GCSE maths. My daughter finds Deborah very helpful and always leaves tutoring with a smile on her face. Deborah is always flexible on timings and is available face to face and zoom which is useful.
From timothy
Deborah has been nothing short of outstanding. Right from arranging the initial session,she has been understanding,professional,communicative and my daughter is very happy with her warm and thorough approach,quickly developing a very positive working relationship. I couldn’t recommend her more.
From carolyn
My son has been tutored by Deborah for a few weeks and is finding her support invaluable. Deborah is kind, patient and has such a breadth of knowledge which is of such a benefit to my son’s learning. He is studying Chemistry A level and has found the subject quite challenging but feels he has really progressed in the short time he has had with Deborah. We would definitely recommend her. Thank you so much we feel very fortunate to have found her.
And Max is a perfect student: friendly, asks questions, wants to learn and understand. It’s a tough subject: he is doing brilliantly! Huge thanks for your review: lovely to read this morning! BW Deborah
From Vicky
We can’t thank Deborah enough for her support with my sons exams, he improved even after a few hours of her support. His final exam result was more than double what he had achieved before his tutoring. He was extremely happy and we wouldn’t hesitate to ask for help again.
Aaah that is so lovely of you! Your son was a delight to help, and just needed me to help him grow in confidence, and to feel he could ask all of the questions he needed to. I would be delighted to help him, as you know, well into the future. And congratulations to him for a great set of exam results! Dx
From Sara
Deborah is a personable professional who is child centred. She established a really positive working rapport with my son and engaged him fully in learning which is an achievement! Very intuitive to individual learning needs. Deborah has excellent subject knowledge and was able to make learning accessible, providing examine techniques and overcoming barriers to learning. Everything you need and want in a tutor. Thank you so much Deborah!
From Maria
My son was pleased with his first session with Deborah and feels that her knowledge of Psychology is good and her explanations very clear. We have ordered the revision text recommended and look forward to learning more from Deborah.
From Filip
Deborah is the best tutor I have ever had. She has excellent knowledge in Psychology, Biology, and Neuroscience and helped me immensely during my Psychology undergraduate degree. She has a positive and kind approach, but most importantly, she works along with you towards your goals.
Many thanks Filip. And you have been a delightful student to help too. I hope you achieve all your goals: you have worked hard!
From Abi
Deborah is lovely and explains the content very well and goes over it until you understand.
Many thanks Abi, I am glad I have been able to help! Best wishes, Deborah
From Jessica
Couldn’t have found a better tutor! I sort help due to applying for a different job which required numeracy tests and this is something I have always struggled with even at school. Deborah was extremely patient and taught me how I work out each type of question from the start. Thanks to Deborah I passed.
I am so so happy for you Jess: you did brilliantly! Well done! And my best wishes for your future career!
From Sarah
Very enthusiastic and energetic. A real Physics advocate. My daughter has found her sessions very helpful.
Many thanks Sarah: it is my pleasure to be able to help. BW Deborah
From Alexandra
Deborah is a very warm and friendly tutor. She made my daughter feel at ease straight away.
Many thanks Alexandra! Best wishes, Deborah
From Sophie
Very pleased that we found Deborah. Granddaughter Sophie, after just one session, learnt a lot and is confident that she will do much better in her Maths GCSE when the time comes.
Many thanks: Sophie was a pleasure to help this week and I am confident that she will make leaps and bounds!
From Liz
My son studying A Level Psychology has found Deborah a very supportive tutor. Deborah is always positive and encouraging and has helped with Harry's understanding and essay structure.
Many thanks Liz. I hope term has got off to a good start for him… let me know if he needs some extra help, perhaps over half term. Hopefully it will be an easier subject for him now. BW Deborah
From Helen
Despite having arranged a mutually convenient time and date for my daughter's first lesson and were in possession of her address, we were unable to locate Deborah's house. We received no call back asking for help with directions before the lesson was due to start and for another 30 minutes afterwards, so had to abandon our search. I still hadn't received a call back from her by morning. I also received no form of apology from Deborah for the events of the evening and any admission that she might have helped by returning my call.
Unfortunately Beth did not arrive for her first lesson at 7pm on a Sunday. She did not make contact with me before the first lesson and I did not receive any phone calls from her. Since then I have had some rather unfortunate emails from her.
From Amanda
My son came back from his first lesson enthused and engaged and described her as super friendly-great start!
Thank you so much Amanda! And I am looking forward to working with him and to helping him make a difference!
Best wishes
Deborah
From Alexis
This is the second time we have used Deborah, first time for my son with GCSE science subjects and now my daughter with A Level Psychology - which says it all really. My daughters comment after her first session" she wished Deborah could come into school to teach - her manner and teaching style is brilliant"
Thank you so much Alexis… and it is lovely to be working with your family again! BW Deborah
From Peter
Deborah is fantastic, pure and simple.
Deborah is enthusiastic to help and patient in understanding where I needed most help.
She is very supportive in her attitude, and tuition. Not only helping build confidence but solidify strategy and build contextual knowledge.
Thank you Peter, that is lovely! Here's to getting your grades up! And I know you will do just that!
Best wishes
Deborah
From Sam
Fantastic, sorted all issues almost immediately.
Many thanks Sam. And huge best wishes for your exams: I am sure they will go brilliantly.
Best wishes
Deborah
From Clare
Alexandra had began to develop a disliking for maths and was reluctant to have a tutor. She now is incredibly enthusiastic and believes she has the ability to improve and succeed after only a few lessons with Deborah. I am delighted and looking forward to seeing her blossom with Deborah's guidance.
Many thanks Clare! And I must say, Alexandra is a pleasure to teach!

From Nicholas
Really pleased! Finally my daughter seems engaged with maths, a subject she has struggled with for sometime. After just a few sessions, her confidence and understanding is growing. Would definitely reccomend.
Thank you Nick! Hopefully it is giving her the confidence she needs so it all clicks in to place! BW Deborah
From Angela
Very good tutor with interesting teaching methods and excellent explanations . I would really recommend her.
Many thanks Angela: hugely appreciated. And your son is a delight to teach too! BW Deborah
From Heather
Our daughter was cautious about going to a tutor as she had never done this before. Deborah immediately made her feel at ease and our daughter always wants to go to lessons. Deborah has a lovely approach and relates well to the children she tutors. I just wish we had convinced our daughter earlier to get a tutor as I have no doubt Deborah will help significantly,
Thank you Heather! Likewise, Robyn is a delight to help! Best wishes Deborah
From Justine
Deborah has provided excellent tuition for my daughter in Maths GCSE and iGCSE Chemistry and Physics. Becky's mock results were a testament to an improvement in grades and just as importantly she comes out of every session with a very positive attitude.
From Rachelle
Anna is enjoying the sessions and already finding that her understanding of the subject is improving. Thank you.
Thank you! And Anna is a pleasure to help! I do hope she does well! Best wishes, Deborah
From Philip
Hello Deborah please can you call me regarding when we can see you . Helen Rook **Telephone Number Removed**
From Beena
We have been very happy with Deborah and my 10 year old daughter adores her.
From Sam
I cannot recommend Deborah highly enough, not only did my son start enjoying the subject but he now excels in it as well. She knows the subject inside out, is extremely enthusiastic and also has a great ability to take into account the pupil's learning style. Thank you!
From Debbie
I can't recommend Deborah enough and I just wish I had started with her earlier. Deborah helped me prepare for my A level Biology exam. She really knows her stuff and is brilliant at explaining complicated things in a simple way. I was quite nervous before my first session but she soon put me at ease and is very approachable. I really enjoyed my sessions with her and have no hesitation in recommending her. Phoebe (18 years)
Hi Phoebe, thank you so much. You were the one that worked hard and concentrated hard, on the most difficult stuff! Well done, you were a pleasure to teach and deserve every success. If you can do A level Biology, you can do anything you want to in life! Best wishes for every success to you!
From Sophie
Deborah was amazing I would recommend her most highly
Thank you Sophie! And you were lovely to teach because you so wanted to get there. I hope the exams went your way and all the luck in the world for the future! Best wishes Deborah
From Marian
A lovely teacher and we are happy to have found such an excellent Biology tutor for our daughter's AS level. Deborah is very experienced and knowledgeable about the subject. She is helpful, patient and explains things clearly and thoroughly. I would highly recommend Deborah.
Thank you Marian, that's lovely! It's always a pleasure to help someone who really wants to learn and to get it right, and Emma has been a pleasure to teach. I do hope she does well in her exams: she deserves every success!
Best wishes
Deborah
From Maya
Many thanks Maya!

From Mrudulla
Hi I rang Deborah on Monday and left a message to arrange the tuition but she has not come back to me and I need a Biology tutor urgrently for my daughter for Gcsc Mrudulla patel
I think you'll find a message left on your answer phone left on the same day as you called and we subsequently spoke at some length and have a lesson booked for this Saturday. Therefore I am a bit confused as to the content of this message and think you might be talking about someone else? Best wishes.
Deborah
From Michelle
My daughter takes Biology lessons (A level) with Deborah. Deborah is very enthusiastic about her subject and knows it inside out, which means she can explain it really well. My daughter is thoroughly enjoying her lessons with Deborah and has found them very helpful.
Many thanks! It is lovely to teach someone who has a similar enthusiasm and love of the subject… Megan will do well and is a delight to teach.
From Georgina
My 15-year-old daughter really enjoys her lessons with Deborah, who instantly formed an excellent rapport with her. She is very perceptive and knows just how to encourage and direct studies to get the best from my daughter. Deborah is very well-read and I am confident my daughter is being taught by someone who knows her subject and also the curricula well. Another aspect that we have valued is Deborah's flexibility with timing of lessons - she understands the logistical complexities of school life as thoroughly as she knows how teenagers tick. My daughter's confidence has improved after just a few lessons - we are both very pleased to have been introduced to this teacher.
Thank you Georgina! The teaching relationship works both ways: your daughter is a pleasure to teach. She will do well.
From Tracie
My son's confidence has increased since starting tutoring recently, he's enjoyed his lessons and found them structured to his needs, with everything explained to him clearly and concisely.
From Helen
My son has only had two sessions so far with Deborah, but her enthusiasm and energy for the subjects she teaches are inspiring him already! She is a great teacher, with a great deal of understanding for my sons particular needs, and I wish i'd found her years ago !
Many thanks Helen! Best wishes Deborah
From Amit
Deborah was excellent, very helpful and supportive and taught very well.
Many thanks Amit! Best wishes Deborah
From Silvia
very good teacher!! Deborah was very helpful in biology. Very good explanation. She is a STAR!! Thank you Deborah!!!
From Olivia
Deborah's tutoring sessions were good fun and very benefical for my GCSE Biology revision.
From Helen
I cannot recommend Deborah highly enough; she had a tough brief with very little notice and understood very quickly what tutorial support my child required.
