Elizabeth helped me with Greek. She would always be willing to answer all my questions - even outside of lessons she would always give me a detailed response. She always sought to instil my confidence in Greek, even in times when I was overwhelmed with the subject. She was very kind and easy to work with and I can't recommend her enough.
From Debbie
We engaged Elizabeth to help with our son's preparation for his GCSE Latin exams. Elizabeth was thoughtful, incredibly well prepared, supportive during and after his lessons and provided excellent follow up for the tutee and the parents. She was able to quickly assess his learning gaps and provided him with the confidence (which was lacking from his school teacher) to address the gaps with a clear development plan.
Our only regrets. 1. We did not engage her sooner, would have saved many hours of unnecessary worry and 2. that she is not a teacher at his school! Elizabeth is an excellent tutor.
From Ingrid
Elizabeth helped my daughter go from a D to an A in Latin in the space of six months, with a single weekly lesson. She identified knowledge gaps and structured lessons to fill these and provide a solid basis before progressing further. Elizabeth is a very competent and inspiring teacher. She is kind and caring, and bonds well with children. She even sent a little gift out (after asking my permission) as a reward for great effort and milestones reached. I recommend Elizabeth without hesitation.
From Louise
Elizabeth is really positive and supportive as a tutor. She understands that confidence is vital to a child's performance. Most importantly, she makes learning fun. Five star tuition.
From Vaylin
My daughter has had her first latin class with Elizabeth she seems very professional and she knows what she’s doing by teaching latin. My 9 year old daughter was really listening to Elizabeth Leah and I really like Elizabeth and the way she teaches is really fantastic and awesome. I highly recommend her
From Monica
Elizabeth is a wonderful tutor to my daughter. She is incredibly organised, and a skilled communicator. Every lesson has a focus and a goal and the detailed feedback straight after the session keeps my daughter on track and engaged. My daughter likes Elizabeth very much and is more hopeful about her Latin than before.
From Angela
Elizabeth has been professional and reliable, more importantly she drives my son to be better with her interesting and effective teaching methods. Thank you!
From Jacqueline
Excellent. Very quick communication and questions to understand what was needed. Taught to specific needs after assessment of weak areas, and provided feedback and further learning materials for practice at home after each lesson. 15 year old son asking for more!
From Melissa
I taught myself Latin using the Cambridge Latin Course, book 1, but needed help going forward as to what to focus on / what is important / tricks to help memorise verb endings etc. Elizabeth has really helped me with all these things and every lesson has been a true joy. I am 47 years old, so an adult learner, and she has helped me understand and learn Latin much better than doing it on my own. She emails excellent feedback after the lessons and lots of extra worksheets and material. She is very organised, does not overwhelm, and is always kind and patient - so I would highly recommend her! I am still having lessons with her now, using Zoom.
From Sophie
Elizabeth is really nice and kind. Under her teaching,I could understand Latin really well,and I enjoy being her student.
From Jonathan
Very nice, highly organised and excellent at explaining concepts. Great tutor!
From Janette
Elizabeth is a very patient and thorough tutor who has made it possible for our son to learn Greek which he wanted to learn but wasn’t offered to him at his prep school. Nothing was ever too much trouble for her. Thanks to her the A* he gained at common entrance has allowed him to continue this language at his new secondary school. He has now selected Latin and Greek for GCSE. All possible because of Elizabeth. Can never thank her enough.
From Ros
We cannot recommend Elizabeth highly enough. She taught my daughter Latin from scratch and this summer my daughter achieved a level 9 at GCSE. Elizabeth is a committed, professional, diligent tutor. After every lesson she emails comprehensive lesson summaries and is always quick to respond to queries between tutor sessions. Her enjoyment of the subject is infectious - my daughter says "Elizabeth's lessons were fun and she is really motivational". Do not hesitate to choose Elizabeth if you are looking for a tutor - she is the best in the area, so much so, we were happy to make a 70 km round trip to her tutor sessions.
From Michelle
Excellent tutor. My son has struggled with Latin and Elizabeth has really helped him gain those extra marks with exams and also with his confidence with the subject.
From Deborah
Elizabeth is an absolutely first class Latin teacher and we would whole heartedly recommend her. Our son attended lessons with Elizabeth to prepare him for his Latin GCSE. Elizabeth had only a matter of months with our son and turned a C/D mock result into an A* GCSE. She is a diligent, very well organised and thoughtful, caring teacher. We were very lucky to have found her!
From Harry
Elizabeth was a fantastic tutor for my eldest son for his GCSE Latin! Her sessions were incredibly well prepared and organised and Harry thrived with her support. She gave him a great deal of confidence for his exams and I'm sure was the reason he gained his top mark! Many thanks
From Lene
Elizabeth is incredibly professional to deal with, sending detailed notes on getting to her house (including a photo of a tricky section!) reminder emails close to the event and a request for what my son's goals and current texts were. Her manner with children is lovely, very caring and knowledgeable. My son is happy and learning quickly it appears. And I am happy to recommend.
From Claire
Elizabeth is a superb tutor. She is professional, dedicated and highly organised, and provides detailed written feedback after each lesson. Everything is very well explained in a clear and logical way. Furthermore, she has a lovely, kind and supportive manner, and makes her lessons very enjoyable. I highly recommend Elizabeth.
From Sarah
My son and I are truly delighted to have found Elizabeth. My son has had 5 sessions covering Latin language and literature in preparation for GCSE examinations, and in this short time Elizabeth has renewed his enthusiasm and confidence. Elizabeth is professional, efficient, warm and altogether in our opinion a most excellent tutor. We will continue with lessons until the examination dates. We have no hesitation in recommending her.
From Sarah
It has been a pleasure to work with Elizabeth, she is friendly, flexible and is an excellent tutor. She has a dedicated and conscientious approach, providing written feedback and areas to work on after each session. I would highly recommend her.
From Liz
We are so pleased we engaged Elizabeth as a Latin tutor for our son. She explains things very well, is enthusiastic and helps to give confidence to him. We would recommend her.
From Jo
Elizabeth is a wonderful tutor. She has helped my girls enormously.
From Anna
Elizabeth is a first-rate, excellent, A* Latin tutor. My son, who is studying for GCSE, says he is 'really, really pleased we found her'. I would not hesitate to recommend her.
From Philip
Elizabeth is a really, really good tutor. She is particularly well organised, and even prepared special material in her own time that was of huge help to my daughter. As a result of her help, my daughter achieved the top grade in a resit of her Latin IB examination. My daughter and I are both very grateful to her.
From Hilkka
Max has foun Elizabeth an inspired and inspiring teacher full of enthusiasm for her subject and able to explain clearly even complex grammatical problems. We would definitely recommend her.
