Deborah has a good rapport with my son which I feel helps massively when trying to get a child to engage in a subject they do not have a huge interest in. Deborah has helped him gain a greater depth of understanding in English, which has made it easier, and dare I say, more enjoyable. He has been moved up a level in school since Deborah started tutoring him.
From Tahir
Deborah, was quick to analyse what was needed in the short-term, worked with diligence and at speed, created the right environment with the student, was flexible with time slots, a true credit to the teaching profession. We gained the best grades possible. Thank you Deborah
From Shazia
Your patience, kindness, and clever approach to teaching have made a significant difference in her educational progress. It's clear that you have a genuine passion for helping her succeed, and I deeply appreciate how you take the time to ensure she fully understands the material. Your ability to connect with her and adapt to her learning style has truly boosted her confidence and enthusiasm for learning. Kind regards Shazia
From Robert
Deborah has been tutoring our son in English Language since October 2023. English has never been a strong subject for him and inconsistent levels of teaching and lack of support at his school had left him with little confidence in this subject. Deborah undertook an initial assessment of his work to identify his areas of weakness. Over the last seven months she has guided him through the entire English Language exam, making every session enjoyable, which has kept him fully engaged. With the exams imminent, he feels prepared and has confidence in his ability. We would highly recommend Deborah as a tutor!
From Tim
Deborah has been tutoring our son for GCSE English since September 23.
She has been undertaking the weekly sessions in our home and has always arrived on time, has preprepared the sessions content and activities aligned to his areas of need and the specific exam board criteria.
Deborah always brings great energy and support to the sessions, which has proved good motivation for our son. We have already started to see positive outcomes, with his confidence building along with recent improvement in his school assessment point tests.
From Sheena
Over the past 6 months Deborah has helped my son make large strides forward with his English comprehension and exam technique. Since having lessons with Deborah, his end of year school test results improved markedly and he has subsequently passed the 11 plus. He enjoys his lessons and comes out feeling positive about his abilities. I would highly recommend Deborah.
From Sarah
Deborah has been tutoring my son every week for over a year. He has always found English a challenge becoming a reluctant learner as a consequence. Covid/remote learning did not help. Deborah is most certainly extremely knowledgeable of the curriculum and skills needed to improve and pass the exam. She has supported him in breaking down and understanding each question. As a result, his confidence and the strategies needed to attempt them have increased significantly. Thank you :-)
From Helen
We have been using Deborah for several months now to help with our son’s English tuition who is in year 11. He was getting behind at secondary school due to a lack of English teachers but has made great progress and has grown in confidence. We are hopeful that he is now ready for his GCSEs in the next few weeks - thank you Deborah.
From Shamanthi
Deborah has been teaching my son for a few months now. She has helped him enjoy English a lot more and given him confidence in his ability. Her way of teaching is understandable and clear to him and he loves every lesson. Recommend to all parents who are looking for an English tutor.
From Sharn
Deborah was been helping my son with English tuition for his upcoming GCSE exams this year. Given the disruption with covid my son had lost his confidence and had gaps in his learning. Deborah has done a great job building up his confidence, my son enjoyed Deborah's lessons and she was also happy to answer any questions that he had or I had as a worried parent. My son is doing the Eduquas syllabus so Deborah spent time focusing on the specific objectives to meet my sons needs. I would highly recommend Deborah for English lessons. Sharn
From Yvonne
My Son is very happy with Deborah and he enjoys his English lessons every week.
From Laura
Deborah is very knowledgeable and has been able to energise my child, giving her confidence. The instruction over Zoom worked very well. Deborah's excellent teaching and great feedback helped my dyslexic daughter progress from a GCSE level 6 to an 8 in both English Language and Literature during this past year of disrupted pandemic education, all while making lessons fun. She is completely reliable and trustworthy and a lovely person.
From Christina
Deborah was great in getting my son through his English GCSE resit. She is an excellent tutor and I would highly recommend her.
From Emma
Deborah's methodical, kind and patient approach was just what my daughter needed to help prepare for her GCSEs after a disappointing mock result. Deborah built her confidence and competence by breaking down each question and practising the individual skills. My daughter really looked forward to the tuition sessions and is delighted with her GCSE result. She now feels very positive about English and we would recommend Deborah to anyone considering one on one tuition.
From ELIZABETH
After being disappointed with her mock GCSE English Language result, my daughter felt she would benefit from some individual tutoring to achieve a good grade this summer. Deborah was excellent at quickly identifying the areas for improvement and providing detailed guidance on exam technique. Always prompt, well prepared and covered a lot in each session making my daughter really focus and gain confidence. Highly recommend!
From Shital
Deborah has been tutoring my son for almost 4 months now. She is very thorough in her approach and I have seen a remarkable difference in my sons confidence towards English. This was reflected in his current GCSE mock result when he got a 7 in his English Language. He was working at a level 5 when he started. We are really happy with the progress that he has made. I have no hesitation in recommending Deborah as a tutor.
Hi Shital it has been a pleasure tutoring your son. He is very determined and studious. He always does the homework I set him and works to the best of his abilities. I have no doubt that in the upcoming GCSE English exam he will even surpass a Level 7!
From Clare
Deborah has been an excellent tutor for my daughter who required help with her GCSE English Language. She has provided guidance, support and practice of GCSE questions that have helped my daughter enormously and given her confidence to achieve her very best.
From Eddie
We found Deborah understanding and her encouragement for my daughter's confidence was appreciated
