Fiona has been a great tutor for my son during the last few months of his A level Geography studies. She is very knowledgeable about the subject and quickly understood where help was needed. She planned their online studies well before each session so that they were as productive as possible. She went through how the questions should be answered and reviewed his attempts. We have not had his results as yet but are confident that his grades have been raised with Fiona’s help. Thanks Fiona.
Thank you Sarah!
From Rebecca
We are so grateful that we found Fiona just before our sons A-levels. Our biggest regret is that we did not start sooner! It definitely made a big difference and would highly recommend Fiona
Thanks for the feedback Rebecca!
From Sharon
We engaged Fiona to help our Son with his upcoming GCSE Geography exams. We have been incredibly impressed with not only Fiona’s knowledge in her field but her truly in-depth understanding of the curriculum and the exam requirements for GSCE. The preparation Fiona puts in for the tutoring is outstanding, each session tailored to our Sons requirements and learning style. In preparation for the exams Fiona has literally covered every conceivable way in which a question might be asked on a sub topic and coached on how to answer for maximum marks.
Our sons lessons have been intense and much has needed to be covered but Fiona has not been daunted and she has managed to keep our Son engaged and been nothing but encouraging to a teenager who was disenchanted with the subject.
Fiona provides feedback on progress to us and has given our Son every opportunity to succeed. Our Son finds Fiona easy to talk to and she has such a clear and concise way of communicating the subject matter. A truly fortunate find and we highly recommend her to any parent…… we just wish we’d engaged her sooner!
Thank you! It's been wonderful working with your son and helping build his confidence and an interest in Geography again.
From Fiona
Fiona had 6 sessions with my daughter in the last few weeks before her A level exams and definitely made a positive difference for her. Fiona was very knowledgeable both of the subject and exam reqts, took time before each session to assess what needed to be covered and prepared the appropriate material. Her explanations were clear, the quizzes helpful and she gave good tips about how to gain better marks in the exam. Thank you Fiona for providing effective professional tuition - we wish we’d found you sooner!
Thank you, that's lovely feedback. It's been a delight to work with your daughter even for these short few sessions.

From Jenny
Fiona has been tutoring my son ( at GCSE level ) for the past few months now . We have seen fantastic results already both in tests set within his school and his confidence to self study . Fiona is really knowledgeable about not only her subject but the exam techniques to reach full potential. My son really looks forward to each geography GCSE tutoring session with Fiona and I think the best feedback I could give is that he has started keeping notes of questions to ask Fiona in next sessions when he’s not quite sure of a topic in school . True testament to how approachable and passionate she is . Thankyou so much Fiona for helping coax a reluctant learner out of his shell !
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback! Its been a pleasure working with your hardworking son so far and look forward to helping progress even further.
From Tatiana

Thank you so much for your kind words!
From Rachel
We are still in the very early stages of working with Fiona in support of my son, it was very clear from the first meeting though that she was keen to understand what he wanted and needed, and moreover, what method he would best like to learn by.
He described that he is quite a visual learner and that just being talked at would not help him, he has received support via a range of teaching methods such as talking things through, quick fire tasks, supported longer answer planning, imagery and diagrams. He is finding the sessions helpful and described to us how time is taken when he is not sure about something. Fiona has always clearly planned his tasks for the session. He described her sessions as creative, fun and engaging.
He finds her kind and supportive which is perfect as one of my primary reasons for finding a tutor was to increase his confidence levels. I am often in and around his room at the end of the sessions and am very happy with the approach taken.
Thank you for your kind words Rachel, looking forward to continue working with you and your son going forward.
