Gill has been fantastic from the very start of my enquiry . Responded swiftly and now my daughter has started the sessions which is finding extremely useful and supporting her current learning. Thank you Gill!
You're welcome Lynsey ! Thanks for the feedback.
From Philip
Gill helped me massively with my Psychology A-level. Her resources were extremely helpful and were perfectly tailored to my area for improvement. Each session was focused on my desired topic or area of the specification, with the workbook tasks reinforcing my knowledge and improving my confidence. Ultimately, Gill helped me improve my grade and helped me secure a place at my first choice university. Thank you Gill!
Congratulations on securing your first choice university. I am delighted for you. Good luck in the future and thank you for leaving feedback.
From salima
I have no hesitation recommending Gill for Psychology tuition. My daughter has found her approach very systematic and easy to follow from the start. She has been instrumental in helping her gain confidence prior to her recent Psychology A-level exams. Her knowledge and insight into exam technique has been incredibly helpful.
Update: my daughter got her grades and achieved an A in her psychology A/Level, in large part thanks to the effort and support we received from Gill
Huge congratulations to your daughter !! Next steps… UCL ! So pleased for her. Thanks for letting me know.
From Anna
My daughter got an E in her mock psychology A level before we found Gill. Having been tutored by Gill, I’m happy to report my daughter just got an A in her actual A level. She said that Gill explained concepts and contents in a clear, easy-to-understand way and her library of revision materials was incredible - far better than anything else my daughter could access. We are so grateful for Gill’s support. Thank you, Gill!
Thanks for the feedback Anna. Your daughter worked so diligently and really did deserve the A grade she achieved. She conscientiously took on board all the feedback I gave her and gradually improved both her knowledge of the specification, question deconstruction and exam technique. I thoroughly enjoyed supporting your daughter and was delighted to hear that she secured her place at Exeter University to read History. Congratulations to her.
From Natasha
We booked Gill as my daughter was unhappy with the quality of psychology teaching at her school. Gill has been an excellent tutor for my daughter throughout year 13. Gill’s knowledge of her subject is excellent and she tailors her sessions in line with the needs of her students. My daughter found Gill’s resources and exam tips from being an examiner extremely helpful and has said that they helped her to achieve the highest marks in the 16 mark questions for her mocks.
We highly recommend Gill as a tutor - thanks Gill for all your help.
Update following A level results - my daughter achieved an A* and is off to her 1st choice university next month. Thanks for all your help Gill - she wouldn’t have been able to get such a good result without your support.
I am delighted for your daughter Natasha, after some extremely poor teaching at school. I am so pleased that your daughter was able to achieve her full potential with the A* grade. I wish her all the best next month as she leaves to begin her next chapter at her first choice university. Gill.
From Ella
** we got Ella’s results today and she got a B in psychology which was a grade above her predicted grade. She’s thrilled and it has meant she secured her place at her first choice university. Thanks again Gill
Congratulations Ella. Your first choice at university ! I am super delighted for you. All the best for the future, and take care of yourself. Gill
From Phil
My daughter started working with Gill after the first 6 months of A Level. She was especially struggling with the maths elements of the course and was predicted a D. Gills support over the remaining 18 months of A level provided her with the confidence, tools and techniques to be in the best possible postion for the exams. I really recommend Gill, she is professional, dedicated over and above to her students and engages with great rapport witt the aim to secure the best possible results. Today we are over the moon with my daughter getting a B grade. Thank you Gill for everything.
Thanks for letting me know Phil and huge congratulations to your daughter. She worked so incredibly hard to achieve her full potential. It was a pleasure to have been able to support her on her journey. All the very best, Gill.
From Jonathan
I would like to start my feedback with a sincere thanks to Gill . I was looking for a A level tutor for my son and found Gill in First Tutors. My son was finding A level Psychology hard and had low grades and needed help. We reached out to her and got an immediate response. She was clear and up front on what options she was comfortable in taking and fortunately it matched with what my son wanted. She assessed him first and worked patiently on improvement areas for about 6 months. We are thankful and fortunate to have found her as my son wrote his A levels well and he mentioned that his performance in psychology was his best of the other papers. I would strongly recommend Gill for A level Psychology. Thank you.
Thank you for such lovely feedback. Your son worked diligently to improve his grades in Psychology. He listened to advice at all times in order to achieve his full potential. I wish him all the best for the future.
From Natasha
Gill is an excellent tutor and a friendly, lovely woman who knows the exam inside and out. She explains everything in a way that I can understand and is able to simplify even the hardest parts of the Psychology A level curriculum. I went in to my exams feeling confident and I know that if I get an A* it will undoubtedly be with Gill's help. I loved our sessions and working with Gill made made me love Psychology even more than I did before.
Thank you for such lovely feedback. It is always so satisfying to hear that our tutorials have resulted in not only confidence increasing, but also a love of psychology. Enjoy your summer, take care of yourself, and don't forget to get in touch on results day. I will be waiting to hear your news.
From Anthony
Gill was an extremely patient and practical tutor in particular going through the importance of exam technique with my son and how the paper and marking is structured.
Thank you for the positive feedback, Anthony. I would love to hear from either yourself or your son on results day. All the best to you both for the future.
From Louise
I would not hesitate to recommend Gill. Ed’s confidence has increased hugely! He has found the resources she uses extremely beneficial and he’s really benefitted from her personalised approach.
Thanks Louise ! I'm glad that our sessions together have helped build Ed's confidence. Fingers crossed for results day now then. All the best to you both.
From Catherine
Gill has been an excellent tutor for our daughter. Throughout the year she has significantly improved her confidence and understanding in the subject which has been reflected in her grades. Her lessons were always well prepared and the materials she used really assisted our daughters learning. Thank you for all of your support
Thank you for taking time to leave positive feedback, Cath. I do appreciate it. Great to know that your daughter's confidence and understanding of the specification have both improved. She was an absolute pleasure to work with. I'd love to hear from her on results day in August and to find out what is next for her. Fingers crossed, America
From Izabella
Gill has been one of the best tutors I have ever had and I would 100% recommend her for students needing psychology help, in year 12 she helped raise my predicted grade from a D to and A and continued to teach me till my A-level. She was extremely organised coming well prepared for every lesson and her resources were so useful and you can tell lots of time went in to creating each one. Gills knowledge of the spec made sure that I was prepared for the exam and helped bring my attention to topics which I wouldn't have known without her drawing attention to them. Gill was also very kind and encouraging when teaching me, raising my confidence and finding alternative strategies to help with my learning (as I have ADHD and dyslexia) so she would provide helpful examples and videos to help me remember and not be discouraged. Thank you so much Gill!!
Thank you for making time to leave feedback Izabella. You are a little star and deserve a huge pat on the back for your conscientious approach to study and your sheer determination and resilience after being on the receiving end of some very poor teaching. I have loved supporting you and building your confidence. I am looking forward to hearing from you on results day in August. Until then enjoy the summer.
From Frances
Gill is an outstanding psychology tutor. She has tutored my daughter through the second year of A-Level psychology (AQA) - helping with content knowledge, question structure and exam preparation. She definitely goes above and beyond and I would highly recommend her to any students looking for support with psychology A-Level. Thank you Gill – your help has been invaluable!
Thank you for such lovely feedback Frances. Your daughter has been a joy to support. I wish you both all the best and I would love to hear how your daughter goes on in August on results day.
From Sophia
Gill is an excellent psychology tutor who I am so pleased we found. My daughter has been having lessons with Gill for A -Level psychology for 1 year and we are delighted with her progress. Initially finding psychology quite difficult Gill has taught her & explained using resources in a way that is much easier to understand. My daughter is doing her A-levels at the moment and I know without Gills help she would not be as confident as she is going into her final exams. My daughter would highly recommend Gill, who is not only an excellent teacher, but a lovely lady as well. Thank you so much Gill for tutoring my daughter.
Thank you Lisa. Sophia has been so easy to work with and so eager to learn. I am looking forward to hearing how she gets on in August on results day.
From Rob
Unfortunately after agreeing a time slot we were told that this had already been allocated and so could only offer every other week which wasn’t acceptable to us
I do apologise. This was completely my mistake. I am abroad at the moment, without my diary as my daughter went into labour 4 weeks earlier than expected. I am more than happy to refund the fee you have paid to First Tutors so that you are not out of pocket.
From Kathryn
Gill was an amazing support to our daughter Aimee on the leadup to her A levels and improved her confidence no end! Gill was patient, helpful, professional and very generous in her resources which enabled Aimee to excel in her exams. Gill's tuition rekindled our daughter's enjoyment of the subject so much so that she is now considering a career in this area. Thank you Gill!
Thank you for such positive feedback Kathryn. I really enjoyed working with Aimee and to hear that she now would like a career that would involve her using psychology is so rewarding for me ! I wish Aimee all the best for the future.
From Holly
Gill has been great as she tutored my daughter for the last year of her A levels. She showed her so much support, encouragement and professionalism throughout their time together - I highly recommend Gill - she's the best! My daughter is now off to university to study Psychology!
Thank you Gill!
Thank you for the positive feedback Holly ! I am absolutely delighted for your daughter - I hope that she goes on to love Psychology as much as I do !
From Pesh
My son describes Gill as Amazing! The best tutor he has ever had. She is really helping him get to grips with consolidating his knowledge and preparing for his exams. He definitely recommends her as a tutor for anyone looking for extra help in A-level Psychology. Update 22/08 is that my son achieved an A in Psychology and is now heading to Oxford to study History.
Fantastic news Pesh ! I am delighted for your son. I'm sure he will embrace his Oxford experience - my daughter flourished there ! Many congratulations to your son and all the best for the future.
From Vicki
Gill is a fabulous tutor and I have no hesitation in recommending her. She tutored my daughter for most of her A level Psychology course. With Gills support my daughter has just achieved a grade A. When she started working with Gill she was struggling and her assessment were grade Ds . With Gills help her confidence grew, as did her knowledge and understanding. I am a Headteacher of a secondary school and I was consistently impressed with the quality of the resources that Gill provided to her student. She tailors the sessions to address the needs to individual students. The feedback and advice she gave on exam technique was clear and really helpful. Her experience of marking A level Psychology exam papers enables her to give really useful advice. Not only Gill a great teachers but very importantly she is also a caring and nice person. My daughter found her to be supportive, approachable and easy to work with. She enjoyed her tutoring sessions and the support and help she received from Gill were key in her achieving the grade A.
Thank you Vicki ! Your daughter was a delight to work with and it's always good to hear that my independently created learning resources aid learning. I'm delighted that your daughter achieved the A grade in Psychology and is now ready to embark on to undergraduate study at Liverpool in September. She made tremendous progress during our time together. I will miss her very much.
From Fiona
Gill has been the most fantastic tutor to my son during his A level psychology course. He has just got an A in his psychology A level which is absolutely amazing as he started tutor lessons with Gill because he been in an accident which resulted in learning difficulties making academic work much for more difficult for him. Gill worked on anything he didn't understand, provided recourse booklets for him and had lots and lots of past paper questions he could do. This was all online. On top of this she is a really lovely and caring person I throughly recommend her to other student wanting to improve their grades or to get top grades.
Thank you Fiona ! I was delighted to learn that your son achieved the A grade in Psychology. During the last 3 years he has shown an unwavering commitment to his studies, overcoming significant challenges along the way. His incredible determination and perseverence, despite his terrible accident. has been an inspiration to me and I wish him all the best for his future as he starts his next chapter. It has been a pleasure for me to have been able to work with him, building his confidence and supporting him in any way I could. I will not forget him. Good luck.
From Aava
We are so glad that we found Gill. She has proved to be a dedicated and experienced professional. My daughter's confidence has increased with the subject and her overall performance has improved greatly too. Thank you, Gill. She will be leaving feedback too after her last paper tomorrow.
Results Update: Thank you Gill, I couldn't have achieved the A grade for Psychology without your help! Psychology was the one I was worried about, but you helped a lot with my understanding and confidence. Thank you so much!
Fabulous news Aava ! I am delighted for you - you worked so hard and thoroughly your excellent results. All the best moving forward as an undergraduate student !!
From Jen
Gill has been an absolutely brilliant A'Level Psychology tutor for our daughter. She is extremely personable and enthusiastic, has an in-depth knowledge of her subject and the exam board requirements, explained things very well, provided good resources, and our daughter felt that her teaching of exam technique was particularly good.
Thanks for the feedback Jen. It was a pleasure to get to know your daughter and support her as she worked towards her A level examinations in psychology. I wish her all the very best for her future.
From Carolyn
Gill worked with my son for most of the upper sixth year and made a massive impact on his understanding of A level psychology. She has a fantastic knowledge of the course and helped explain the topics to my son, who was really struggling with psychology before then.
She also helped him understand how to structure 16 markers and how to answer questions in the exams, including looking at what the exam boards are looking for and what questions mean. They built a good relationship and he really liked her and her approach. My son's teaching at college was interrupted by staff sickness and Gill really got him through this year. He actually likes psychology now and was confident going into the exams. Would really recommend Gill.
Thanks for the lovely feedback Carolyn ! Your son was a pleasure to work with and to hear that he is now converted and is now a fan of Psychology is great to hear !!
I wish your son all the very best for the future and would love to hear how he gets on on results day.
From Julia
Gill has been just fabulous at tutoring my daughter for psychology A level. Her thoughtful, friendly approach has filled her with confidence, and really helped her to get to grips with issues she was having with a few of the topics. Great notes that have been fab for revision, and really good, clear practical advise on how to revise well and address exam papers successfully. Would highly recommend.
Thanks so much Julia. Glad to have been of help. Your daughter is so conscientious snd just a dream to work with, constantly listening to, and learning from constructive feedback etc. I am looking forward to hearing just how well she did when results day comes round in August.
From sarah
Gill has been an excellent tutor for my daughter during year 13 . In year 12 she was struggling with A level Psychology so was happy to have some extra tutoring . We found Gill on First Tutors and my daughter said it has given her the extra confidence she needed with psychology and we have seen her grades improve from a D to a B in her recent mocks . Olivia enjoyed her sessions with Gill and found her resources she used very useful . We would highly recommend Gill such a lovely person and fantastic tutor . Thanks Gill for all the help you have given Liv .
Thank you for such lovely feedback, Sarah. Liv has been a pleasure to work with and support. I hope that the final exam today went well and I would love to hear from you in August. All the best with everything.
From Ru
Gill is an excellent tutor my daughter found her lessons very useful.I would highly recommend her.
Thank you very much. I am pleased to hear that your daughter thought so.
From Constantin
Great communication!
From Liz
Gill is highly personable and professional and incredibly thorough in her coaching and exam technique. She is also excellent at motivating and helping sustain enthusiasm over tough parts of the syllabus. Cannot rate her highly enough. Two of my daughters friends also chose to work with her and all achieved incredible results. My daughter achieving an A star. Thank you so much Gill. You’re an amazing teacher!
Thanks for the review Liz ! Your daughter and both of her friends all worked incredibly hard and were extremely diligent in their approach towards revision as well as listening to constructive feedback when tackling AQA exam questions. They all made incredible progress and thoroughly deserve their success last Thursday. I wish all three of them all the best in the next part of their academic journey.
From Alison
Update - We're absolutely delighted with her A* - thanks so much again Gill!
Gill has worked with our daughter throughout the two years of her A Level Psychology course. She has been an outstanding tutor whom I would highly recommend. Gill's subject knowledge is second to none as well as her understanding of the AQA specification and this has been a great advantage to our daughter. Gill is extremely well prepared for sessions and shares her own brilliantly put together resources. This coupled with Gill's extensive experience in teaching the subject has really helped our daughter to excel. As well as being an expert in her field, Gill also possesses a very kind and warm nature, which put our daughter immediately at ease and over the two years, she has really enjoyed her weekly sessions with Gill - we are so glad we found her!!! I would have no hesitation in recommending Gill and will certainly return to her again if my other children chose to study Psychology in the future.
Thank you for such lovely, positive feedback Alison. I have really enjoyed working with and supporting your daughter too during the last two years. She is so hardworking and conscientious and I have every confidence that she will be awarded excellent grades on results day this year. She is a credit to you and I wish her all the very best as she embarks on her undergraduate course of study.
From holly
Gill was a huge reason for my success in A-level Psychology. Before I reached out, I was getting C's and D's in my Psychology papers, and as a result of Gill's tutoring, I was rewarded with an A for my Psychology A-level exam. Not only were Gill's resources and teaching techniques largely helpful and accommodating, but Gill is also very friendly and easy to work with and made me feel comfortable all throughout my time being taught by her. Gill also warned me before accepting to tutor me about how my exam board offered different components to choose from in the paper 3 AQA psychology exam, being honest that she could only teach some of them as she didn't specialise in the others. Overall, Gill's approach to teaching and her attention to individual needs really helped boost my confidence. I would certainly recommend her to any student struggling with A-level Psychology! Thank you for everything Gill :)
Thanks for the feedback Holly and congratulations on that big, fat A grade today ! You worked so incredibly hard to enable you to progress from a C/D grade to achieve the A grade and now you are all set to study at your first choice university ! Just fabulous ! All the very best for the future. Gill
From Fiona
Gill has excellent knowledge of the subject and exam techniques, but more than this she's nurtured and supported Honey by building her self confidence. It's this special touch that has been a pleasure to watch, with Gill's teaching and Honey's hard work the results have just kept getting better. If you are lucky enough to have her as your tutor you're in very safe hands.
Thank you so much Fiona ! I will miss Honey very much after the two years we have been meeting up online. Honey has made extraordinary progress in terms of both knowledge and self belief. I wish Honey all the best for the future.
From Eleni
Gill has been working with my son for the past two academic years and he has seen amazing progress, going from achieving C- at the start of the two years to a A+ in his last set of mocks.
She has been an amazing tutor, with outstanding knowledge of the AQA specification and has the extensive experience to back that all up. The resources that she creates and uses in lesson are very helpful as they contain both example exam questions and the content for the different topics in question. The fact that she is also very good at identifying weak points in my son’s knowledge was very good, as she could tailor her lessons towards them, focusing on specific topics that my son found difficult and improving his general understanding. This adaptability along with Gill’s expert assistance provided in improving exam technique and combined with my son’s hard work, produced the high grades he achieves on a now regular basis. She is also a very genuine and kind person, which created a great learning atmosphere for my son, as he has thoroughly enjoyed his sessions with Gill.
Thank you Eleni ! It has been a pleasure to support your son during the last two academic years. He is such a lovely young man who is hard working and conscientious with a desire to learn, make progress and achieve. He is a credit to you. I wish him all the best in the final exam on Thursday and then the next challenge to conquer will be university !! Please do let me know his final grade on results day. Take care, Gill.
From Anthony
Gill has been an outstanding tutor for my son studying A Level psychology. She is knowledgeable, skilled, highly professional, an excellent teacher, and has been a pleasure to deal with from a parent's perspective.
Thank you for the lovely feedback Anthony - your son has been a delight to work with all this time. It has been a joy to watch him grown in both confidence and ability. I wish you both all the best. Gill
From Vikki
Gill has been amazing for my son’s Psychology A level. I only wish we found her sooner! Which is also what my son said after his first session, she is doing her best to help him with the time she has available for us and it’s making such a difference. If you can get Gill take it!
Oh Vikki, I wish you had found me sooner too. We are working really hard together and I hope that we can pull this off with only a few more weeks to go.
From Y
From ecem
Gill is an amazing tutor! She is very knowledgable, explains anything I am unsure about multiple times to make sure I understand fully and is just so lovely to work with. Gill makes you feel comfortable and has massively helped me gain confidence and prepare for my A-Level psychology exam in such a short period of time. If you are looking for a psychology tutor, look no further, Gill is the absolute best !!
update: I got an A*! Will be starting medical school in September!! Honestly enjoyed working with you so much Gil and I know I made the best decision by contacting you for tuition! Thanks once again and wish you the best!
That's wonderful news Ecem !! All the very best for the future and enjoy your next chapter now - medical school.
From Kerry
Gill is an outstanding tutor with extensive knowledge and passion for her subject. She quickly identified the gaps in my daughter’s knowledge and tailor made tutorials to suit her needs, with well prepared lessons and additional teaching notes which proved invaluable. My daughter looked forward to the tutorials and felt motivated thanks to Gill’s teaching methods, making the subject not only interesting, but fun. Gill is a caring, thoughtful and patient tutor and coupled with her experience as an exam marker, meant that she could also give advice on how to achieve the best from an exam question. My daughter has gained so much confidence not only in the subject, but in her own ability and to believe in herself. Thank you Gill. Update: My daughter achieved an A in psychology A Level, which she would not have thought possible before embarking on weekly tutorials with Gill and has secured her place at a Russell Group University. I can not recommend Gill highly enough as a inspirational and encouraging tutor.
Thanks for the lovely feedback Kerry and for letting me know about your daughter's fabulous A grade !! She has been a pleasure to support and I am absolutely delighted that she was able to believe in her own ability and achieve the grade of which I knew she was capable.
From John
Gill provided psychology A level tution for our daughter. This was delivered weekly via skype on a one to one basis. Our daughter enjoyed psychology but was struggling with some aspects of the subject and an E grade in a mock exam prompted us to look for private tuition. After some research we appointed Gill in December 2020. We couldn't be more grateful for the transformation that Gill was able to achieve over the the following 6 months. The tuition was adapted to the areas that our daughter found most challenging and being in a private environment removed any self consciousness from asking questions. This flexibility coupled with the great assistance Gill provided in improving exam technique and combined with our daughters hard work, produced a complete turnaround in her results. She ultimately gained an A grade and will shortly commence studying for a degree in psychology at a Russell Group university. Thanks again Gill, this success would not have been achieved without your invaluable tuition & guidance
Thank you so much for the feedback, John. Your daughter worked incredibly hard and thoroughly deserves her A grade. I hope she will now enjoy reading psychology at university just as much as I did ! All the best to you all.
From Jo
Gill is an outstanding tutor. She creates excellent resources that are easy to follow, allowing students to consolidate their knowledge and complete exam questions to a high standard. My daughter's sessions with Gill have been invaluable, as she has gained confidence in A Level Psychology and more importantly has developed exam technique, helping her to secure top grades. Gill has a lovely manner and is always happy to explain concepts in a way that is memorable, allowing psychology knowledge to become second nature to her students. We recommend Gill wholeheartedly.
Update: Through much hard work coupled with Gill's encouragement, my daughter achieved an A* in her Psychology A Level. Thank you again, Gill, for all your help.
Congratulations to your incredibly conscientious, hardworking daughter - she is a star !! All the best to you both.
From Samantha
My daughter has enjoyed weekly tutor sessions with Gill for just over a year now. Her grades have significantly improved and her confidence in the subject has also dramatically increased. We would highly recommend Gill. August 2021 Update - Delighted to report that my daughter was awarded an A* in her Psychology A Level. Thanks again for all your support Gill it was invaluable.
From Caroline
We have been so grateful for Gill's support for our daughter Isabel over the last year. Isabel was so lacking in confidence and Gill's support and expertise has meant that she has gone from being a wobbly grade B student to a confident student predicted to get an A*. The best thing is that she is now really interested in psychology and really enjoys it. Gill is very flexible and each session is led by the student, she also has excellent resources which she generously shares. I would have no hesitation in recommending her. Update - A* was awarded - thank you again!
Thank you for such lovely feedback and for letting me know about Isabel's fabulous A* grade! I so enjoyed being part of Isabel's journey and helping her build her confidence and self belief. I wish you all the best - next step now for Isabel - uni !!
From Joanna
August 2021 update: A* achieved !!
Gill helped my daughter enormously during the year running up to her Psychology A’level. Having been very uncertain about the subject, she blossomed in confidence and grew to enjoy the subject very much thanks to Gill’s steady and patient teaching and encouragement. She worked hard and got an A* in the end, but I don’t think she could have done it without Gill’s help. She is a truly inspiring and intelligent tutor. She really cared about how my daughter was doing and believed in her, and I think this was picked up on. We can’t thank you enough Gill !!
An A* is fabulous news !! I'm so pleased for your daughter - she certainly did blossom and grew in confidence ! It was a pleasure being able to support her.
From Kalpana
Gill provided a first-class service and ensured that my daughter felt supported throughout her lessons. She is a great tutor and encouraged my daughter to do her best! Can’t thank you enough Gill, much appreciated! Aug21 update: Karishma secures A* in Psychology A levels! Thank you very much Gill :)
From Vivi
Gill is a great tutor.
She really motivated me to become a far more serious and curious student. English isn’t my first language and despite that, she taught me to produce high quality essays. While studying with her I’ve been producing high level materials and well structured evaluations which helped me improve from a C grade to an A grade which I have never expected to get.
She has always explained the content to me with much care and made sure I understood everything. This has given me a lot confidence. I believe everyone could benefit from Gill as a teacher who will first believe in them as students and will enable them to fulfill their true potential.
Thank you for such lovely feedback. I have so enjoyed our sessions together throughout your year 12 and year 13. It has been wonderful to be able to witness you grow in both ability and confidence. Do let me know how results day goes in August. I wish you happiness and all the very best for the future. Gill.
From Margery
The month before my A-level exams I spent working with Gill, my ability to understand and write answers improved massively over my sessions with her. Gill offered an efficient and enjoyable teaching style, which allowed me to easily engage in the content, as well as being super friendly. Her materials and preparation were excellent - I cannot thank her enough for the help she gave me during that stressful period.
I'm so pleased to hear that you found our sessions together useful. It was lovely working with you too ! Enjoy the summer now and do let me know your final grade in August.
From GIll
Gill has worked with my daughter on A level psychology. She has been a fantastic source of help and support. My daughters grades have increased from a D/C to a B/A. My daughter has found Gill’s teaching style to be stimulating’ knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Gill’s level of knowledge of both psychology and the exam system is immense. We can recommend Gill without any hesitation.
Thank you for the feedback Gill. I've ejoyed supporting your daughter and witnessing her grow in confidence. I wish her all the very best for the future.
From Jo
Gill has been a fabulous tutor for my year 13 daughter. Lockdown came and we recognised there would be really value in some additional support to secure an A or A* for my daughter who was aiming for a top uni offer. Whilst we don’t have the finale results yet Gill had probiddd done fantastic input. Not only is she knowledgable in the subject but her experience as an exam marker had meant she is able to give valuable advice as to how to approach questions and structure answers. My daughter has really enjoyed her sessions and feels so much more confident now. It’s been great to see her progress and I thoroughly recommend Gill anyone looking for an approachable and supportive tutor.
Thanks Jo. It has been a pleasure to support your daughter. Let's hope she gets the grade of which she is so capable. Do let me know in August.
From Una
An excellent A Level Psychology tutor - thank you!
Thanks Una ! Your daughter works very hard and is making superb progress.
From Lisa
Excellent psychology tutor, so pleased! Gill is so experienced and knowledgeable and has a vast amount of helpful resources which has helped my daughter to embed learned content and practice exam technique. She is much more focused as a result. Gills' manner is extremely professional and organised and approachable.
Thank you for the positive feedback Lisa. I'm pleased to hear that the sessions are helping your daughter. I'm more than happy to continue to support your daughter for as long as she feels that the sessions are of benefit to her.
From Rosie
Excellent preparation, exceeding expectations with knowledge and advice. If anyone is worrying about the value of one to one tuition even close to exam deadlines then sessions with Gill will put your mind at rest.
Thanks for the positive feedback Rosie - and for working so hard during your Christmas break in order that we could get through so many exam questions together ! Keep up the good work.
From Helen
I can thoroughly recommend Gill. Thank you.
From Immy
Gill is fantastic. Gill has been tutoring me for majority of lower sixth and all of upper sixth. In lower sixth I was working at a low C grade and was predicted a C for my university application at the start of upper sixth, but with Gill’s guidance and support and my determination I achieved a B in my mock. My final grade was an A. My improvement and confidence has been down to Gill and her tutoring. I have used Skype with Gill and that has never been an issue. It is just as interactive as any other lesson. In Psychology there are complex topics and topics that others find easier and due to the density of the material that you are required to know, teachers can often go through it quite quickly. This is where I have used Gill; to explain topics that I haven’t fully understood in more depth or from another point of view until you understand. What I love most about the lessons is the resources that Gill provides, they will include everything you need to know (A01 and A03) along with past exam questions as this is the most important part - proving to examiners that you understand the course. I always come out of Gill’s lessons feeling more confident and understanding that topic more clearly. Gill can also provide further resources to imbed knowledge and she is also very flexible. For example I often wanted more than one lesson a week due to a test or an exam and she will always try her best to fit me in. Every lesson is very productive and thorough. I want to thank Gill for all her support and help over the last two years, despite the fact that I’m not taking my exam , I know that I could have achieved an A grade because she believed in me and built my confidence every time I saw her. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know Gill and couldn’t recommend her enough. Thank you for all your support and guidance.
Thank you for such lovely feedback Immy. It has been a pleasure working with you all this time and watching you grow in confidence and flourish in psychology. I will miss our sessions very much but wish you all the very best as you begin your next chapter - university !! Do let me know the grade that you are finally awarded in light of exams being cancelled this year. I truly hope that it reflects your determination and conscientious attitude to study. You really have come such a long way. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your journey. Update: Congratulations on your A grade Immy !! You worked so hard and thoroughly deserve the A grade. Good luck at university xx
From Latisha
Gill has been an incredible psychology tutor for the past 1.5 years and I would happily recommend her to any A-level student!
I had Skype lessons with her once a week and the level of detail and effort she puts into her notes is amazing since they were easy to follow, yet showed me the content which accessed top-tier marks in exam questions. If I didn't understand a concept/topic taught in college, she would always take her time to clearly explain it to me until I fully understood it and could explain it back to her in my own words. The structure of her lessons were very useful since we ended them with past paper questions, so I could apply what I learnt that session into an exam answer format. Gill helped me achieve my A predicted grade and even out of tutoring sessions, I always used her notes as a form of my revision since they are so detailed and tailored to exactly what the examiners are looking for in answers.
Moreover she is very kind, patient and I felt comfortable approaching her with any issues or problems I had with a topic. Her tutoring sessions were enjoyable and she has a good sense of humour, so I never felt bored or uninterested since her way of teaching is quite compelling and entertaining. Our lessons would always be based on what I wanted to do and what I felt I was struggling in, so my time was well spent. Several times she would make a brand new set of notes (complete with exam questions) when I asked her if we could go over a topic which she hadn't done with a student before. This showed me that she really cares about her students and puts in lots of effort to her lessons.
I will happily to recommend her to anyone since I am so thankful she helped me achieve high grades and also made psychology my favourite A level! I wish her the best of luck in the future!
Results update : I achieved an A grade which I am so happy with and definitely wouldn't of got it without Gill's help through the academic year!
Congratulations on the A grade Tish - thoroughly deserved !
From Dawn
I have had the pleasure of dealing with a couple of tutors over the years but Gill by far impressed me with her amazing, friendly and enthusiastic approach to helping my daughter build her confidence again in psychology.
Gills lessons were always extremely well planned and always tailored them to my daughters struggles. She was great at communicating between me, herself and my daughter and always asked my daughter which and if the variety of resources she provided was the best way and preferred way of getting the information across and learning for my daughter. Gill was excellent at always going the extra mile when help was needed and exams pressure was intense.
It was such a shame that our time with Gill was cut short due to the A level exams being cancelled however we will definitely highly recommend and keep in touch with Gill as she was extremely passionate with my daughters success and progress. I would certainly recommend Gill to anyone who is looking for a psychology tutor.
Thanks for the positive feedback Dawn. I'm glad I was able to help and hope that your daughter's confidence is back to where it should be ! I hope that she is awarded the grade of which she is capable which paves the way for university.
From amy
Gill was a wonderful tutor for our daughter. She was very welcoming and open. The lessons were always extremely well planned and her advice and guidance was very clear and practical. She always had a range of resources to use and always had example answers for any exam question that I tried. Although the A-level exams were cancelled, Gills sessions have been of great help. Thanks very much.
Thank you for your feedback Amy. I'm pleased to hear that the our sessions were beneficial for you. Good luck for results day and for the next chapter in your academic journey - uni !
From Jade
As soon as I arrived at her home I felt welcomed and motivated. Eventhough, I may have only had a few sessions, I feel like I’ve known gill a lot longer. Not only has she provided me with some useful additional worksheets and given me extra tips on answering questions from papers, but she has given me more support for psychology than I have ever received! I very much enjoyed the sessions and looked forward to them every week, as not only did they teach me, but they helped me to socialise and talk to someone about a subject I’m very fond of :) Thank you very much for everything Gill, and if I need any support in the future you will definitely be the first person I ask for! Thanks again Jade :)
Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback Jade - I do appreciate it very much. We only spent a few sessions together before the lockdown due to coronavirus and the cancellation of the 2020 exams, but it is still good to hear that you felt that our sessions were beneficial and you enjoyed them too ! If you find yourself needing support when you begin the next chapter of Psychology at university, then please don't hesitate to contact me directly. Good luck !
From Karen
I have absolutely no concerns about recommending Gill and if you choose too, your child will be very lucky. Gill was amazing, even before the 1st lesson, Gill started to tailor the learning, getting to understand Becca's individual needs and learning styles. She was confident, reassuring, friendly and exceptionally knowledgable in the subjects Becca and Gill identified. Becca enjoyed throughly the sessions with Gill, never feeling embarrassed to ask questions and to discuss concerns. Gills study guides and resources are absolutely fantastic, thorough and well positioned within the subject content. Due to COVID-19 Becca will now not take A level exams, however I know that we would have continued to learn with Gill right up to the exam and she would have undoubtedly contribute to the Becca's success. Thank you Gill.
Thank you for the very positive feedback Karen (and Becca) ! I'm pleased that you felt that our sessions had a positive impact on Becca's understanding of psychology. I wish you both all the best for the future. Gill.
From Kate
Gill was fabulous… unfortunately due to COVID-19 my son didn’t get to continue with tutoring but we both recommend Gill - she knows her subject area inside out and genuinely cares.
Thanks Kate for the feedback ! I wish you and your family all the best for the future.
From Sue
Steffi has loved having Gill as a tutor. Gill knew exactly how to work with her. She was really struggling in psychology to the point she had dropped to a U before Gill's intervention! With Gill's help her last mock was a D but only 2 marks of a C which was a huge improvement. I am sure with the remaining few months with Gill she would of improved even further. I highly recommend Gill she is a fabulous teacher and extremely patient and knows how to get the best out of her students. We are just sorry that Steff isn't able to do her A level exams and finish right through to the end with Gill.
Thanks for the lovely feedback Sue. I so enjoyed being able to meet your lovely little family and have the opportunity to support Steff in psychology, rebuilding the confidence in her own ability which she had sadly lost. To move from a U to (almost) a C grade is fabulous progress and I agree that had we been able to continue until May / June, that she would have achieved that C grade. I hope that she will be awarded a grade that is fair and does truly reflect the measurable strides forward that Steff made. I wish you all the best of the future and don't forget to let me know Steff's eventual grade on results day !
From Alex
I’ve only had 7 lessons with Gill but I feel that she’s made all the difference to my recent grade improvements. I would have happily carried on my sessions with her had the exams not been cancelled for this summer. She is highly knowledgeable and is a great teacher. I’m certain that her tips will also help in other areas of my learning. I would recommend Gill without hesitation. Best wishes, Alex Tyler
Thanks Alex. Good to hear that our short time together has had a positive impact. Let me know the grade you awarded on results day. All the best for the future.
From Christopher
Gill took over teaching my daughter Emi,when our last tutor suddely dropped us. Emi was struggling with this subject at school due to a poor teacher and we found Gill totally organised and restored Emi's confidence within 2 lessons. There are many 5 star tutors here, Gill is truly 5 stars,can wholly recommend.
Thanks for the feedback Chris. I would have liked to have worked with Emi for the final months in preparation for the exams in May/June but the government's decision to cancel A levels this year has put a stop to that. I wish Emi all the very best for the future and fingers crossed she will be awarded the A grade which she truly deserves.
From Liane
Had Gill as my psychology A level tutor towards the end of my A levels and she was able to boost my grade up. A lovely and pleasant lady who puts so much work and effort into all of her sessions. Would 100% recommend!!
Thank you Poppy for the positive feedback. Always good to hear that a tutee feels that the tutoring was beneficial. Good luck for the future.
From Alex
Gill has been amazing for us. Her pre session preparation is excellent and the materials she had produced exceptional. She was always positive and brought out the best in my son We had some poor teaching at school and the sessions Gill facilitated really supported him in his revision and supplemented his learning. I would recommend her to any student . Thank you Gill !
Thanks for the positive feedback Carolyn. Alex was so easy to work with; always willing to listen and take on constructive criticism. I'm so pleased that my materials and our sessions together helped prepare him for his A Level in Psychology. I wish Alex all the best for university.
From Fiona
Gill has been an outstanding tutor to my son for almost two years. From struggling to understand the subject, he has blossomed - psychology is now one of his favourite A-level subject. Gill is inspiring, good at confidence-building and has total mastery of her subject. She is excellent at helping pupils to thoroughly understand their course as well as preparing them with the techniques to answering exam questions. Her self-produced fact sheets and information booklets are also invaluable resources. She is extremely reliable regarding timings but flexible when things have to be reorganised. I have no hesitation in recommending her as a tutor.
Thank you so much Fiona. I've enjoyed supporting your son during these last two academic years. It's always very rewarding to know that a young learner has blossomed and now enjoys Psychology - as I still do! I wish your son much success for the next chapter in his academic journey - university !
From Jennifer
Gill has been tutoring my son for a year. He has grown in confidence and now enjoys psychology and understands it! Every week Gill sends through professionally produced workbooks, I can highly recommend Gill. She is kind, patient and funny and my son actually enjoys the sessions. He has just sat his first psychology A Level and he knew how to answer every question on the paper as he was so prepared!! This is all down to Gill and the professional way she approaches the tutor sessions. I owe Gill a huge thank you.
Thank you for such kind feedback Jenny. I shall miss Sam a great deal now that our sessions have come to an end. I wish him well as he goes off to read Psychology and Sport at University.
From Carys
So happy with my tuition experience with Gill. Would recommend to anyone! She puts an incredible amount of time into all her resources, which are all beautifully presented!
Thanks for the lovely feedback Carys. It has been a pleasure to be able to work alongside you (albeit online) and support you in preparation for the 2019 exams. I'm so glad that you found my resources helpful with learning and all important revision.
From Lucia
Gill was a fantastic psychology tutor. She was able to explain the content of the psychology A-level in a way that was interesting and easy to understand. She was also really good at sorting out my exam technique and really helped me to understand how to approach each question on the exam. Gill put a lot of effort into tutoring, especially in the way that she created her own revision resources; these resources were much more useful than psychology revision guides I had bought. In addition to all of that, Gill is very friendly and very easy to get on with too.
Thanks for such positive feedback Lucia. You were a pleasure to help and support. Good luck at university !!
From Sandra
Gill seemed like a really good tutor, unfortunately, due to a communication mix up we didn't realise that she doesn't teach the AQA syllabus, which is what we needed.
Thanks for the positive feedback Sandra. However, to clarify to anyone reading your review that I DO actually specialise in delivering the AQA specification ! The first question I always ask potential tutees / parents when they make their initial enquiry is to check that they are indeed following the AQA specification. You confirmed to me that your daughter was following AQA and we proceeded on that basis. Unfortunately, when we met online for the initial free-of-charge introductory session, your daughter clarified that she was following OCR, not AQA. Your daughter decided that she wanted to continue her search for a tutor with OCR examining experience which I completely understand. I hope that you have now secured someone with the important OCR examining experience. Good luck with the exams next May/June.
From Sam
Hi Gill,
Apologies for the delay - but wanted to send our appreciation for the A-Level Psychology tutoring you provided our daughter Frankie:
As we discussed originally, Frankie needed to achieve a Grade B but was lacking focus/drive and was stuck on a Grade D prediction with only 5 months to go until exams! The tutoring you provided made the difference and Frankie achieve the B grade she was aiming for. She would not have achieved this without your support.
Your Skype lessons were perfect and Frankie would finish them with a renewed level of energy and commitment. Your level of understanding and ability to impart knowledge was excellent, as was your vast knowledge of the curriculum and exam marking requirements / techniques.
We always believed Frankie had it in her to do well in this subject but she needed you to draw that out of her; to provide her with knowledge, understanding and application of the subject and in doing so build her confidence to face the exams.
Thank you very much,
Sam & Michelle
Hi Sam Thanks for the wonderful feedback ! Frankie was a joy to work with and our 2-hourly sessions flew by every week before I even realised ! She always listened to my feedback and was happy to take on board constructive criticism. I am so pleased that she achieved her potential in Psychology - she thoroughly deserved it. I wish her all the best for her future. Gill
From Wendy
Gill provided excellent tuition for my daughter which helped her preparation for Psychology A'Level tremendously, in addition to reducing her stress levels. The whole process was straight forward and stress free for me too in terms of setting it up and payment etc. Thanks Gill!
Thanks for the positive feedback Wendy. I enjoyed supporting your daughter very much and look forward to hearing from her on A level results day. Good also to hear that you found the process straightforward !
From Georgia
Thank you for being such a wonderful tutor. You have been so helpful and I know that I wouldn’t have been able to do A-Level psychology without your help.
Thanks Georgia. It has been lovely to be able to get to know you this year and support you with Psychology. Good luck at university.
From Davis
Gill struck up a good rapport with my daughter and quickly fostered a strong learning environment. Always prepared for the lessons, with great content and examples which helped to broaden the scope of the subject and bring context. Gill was extremely flexible and reliable, communicating well on progress and tailoring leasons to drive maximum benefit from the time. I have no hesitation recommending Gill for Psychology A level
Many thanks Aileen - your daughter was a joy to tutor as she was so eager to learn, even during the graveyard Friday evening slot after her full week of school ! If your younger son does choose Psychology, you know how to contact me. Thank you again.
From Jean-Luc
Gill is an increible Psychology tutor whose knowledge and passion for the subject are unmatched. Not only does she have an incredible depth of knoweldge of the subject and an exeptional way of explaining complex topics, but she also has a caring and compassionate nature that was able to instil the confidence and support I needed in the run up to my exams. Her dedication to her students is admirable and her revision sources are amazing. I would highly recommend Gill as a tutor.
Jean-Luc I am overwhelmed by such kind words. Thank you so much. You have been a pleasure to help and support and I wish you all the best of luck when you embark on the next stage of your journey as you continue your study of Psychology at university. You know how to contact me if you ever need my support in the future. I wish you all the best for the future.
From Joanne
We approached Gill regarding A-level Psychology tuition for our Son, leading up to his A2 exam. We were impressed with Gill's credentials but perhaps a little concerned as to how tuition would work online. However we have been very impressed with every aspect of the tuition from Gill.Working online has not been a barrier at all, as Gill emails a piece of work for Will to complete ahead of tuition which they then discuss fully through the tutorial. Our Son, feels like he has benefited greatly from Gill's tuition and has found Gill to be very friendly, knowledgeable and professional.
Thank you so much for the positive feedback Joanne. Will is an extremely conscientious student who not only works very hard, but is also willing to listen to constructive feedback. Will is a pleasure to work with.
From Susan
Gill has been my Skype tutor for the last few months. I am a self-taught student and I’m trying to cram two years into one. Her teaching methods are exceptional. I always look forward to my lessons and she also provides study aid booklets which are brilliant and easy to understand. She focuses on past exam questions right from the beginning and teaches valuable exam technique skills. Gill goes above and beyond to help ensure I understand what we do in the lessons, for example, she sends me send me a text message to check if I can remember abbreviations and will also let me know about documentaries and TV shows on television which are relevant to the topics we’ve studied. Thank you so much Gill, you have been amazing.
Thank you for such amazing feedback Susan and Bunnie. I've so enjoyed working with you Bunnie and watching you grow in confidence. In only 4 more weeks all your hard work and drive to want to succeed will all have been worth it.
From Jane
Alice is loving her tutoring sessions with you. She thoroughly enjoys your teaching methods and feels a benefit from them already. She finds you warm and approachable and very knowledgeable! We both think you are fantastic!! Thank you!
Update Alice got an A!!! Thank you so much Gill for all your passion, positivity and hard work… she couldn't have done it without you! For anyone debating whether to contact Gill for tutoring my advice would be to do it. You won't find a more committed, caring, knowledgeable tutor anywhere. Gill really is fantastic!!!
You are too kind Jane ! Alice did all the hard work and now has a grade of which she is thoroughly deserving. It has been lovely to get to know you both and I wish Alice all the best when reading psychology at York University. Good luck Alice and you know where I am if you ever need any support.
From Chloe
Gill has been a fantastic tutor. During sessions I have already gained a better understanding of topics I was very unsure about. The resources Gill creates are to an excellent standard and are extremely helpful as they include a variety of activities to help with learning. I look forward to every session with Gill and feel much more confident for my exams. 17th August 2017 - A Level results day and I got an A in Psychology! I would not have achieved this without Gill's expert tuition, and I only started with lessons from February this year. Her teaching experience shines through in every lesson and is highly recommended to anybody who is struggling with how Psychology is being taught in their college/sixth form.
I am so, so pleased for you Chloe ! All credit to you - you are one determined young lady !! I am so glad to have been able to meet you and help you on your way to your first choice University. Here's to the next chapter for you. Gill.
From Pip
I was tutored by Gill for around 6 weeks before and during my A levels and she was fantastic. I did my sessions online via skype which was very easy and useful as we were able to share resources over email both before and during sessions. Gill really built my confidence in the areas I found trickier, and was especially good when I was struggling with research methods and evaluation, with her own excellent materials and resources. Each session was completely tailored to my needs and this helped me get an A* in my A level this year. I would highly recommend Gill.
Congratulations Pip on your fabulous A* grade ! You were a pleasure to work with. Good luck at University.
From Neela
My daughter Cassie has been taught by Gill for about 6 weeks so far and every session has been excellent. Gill has provided excellent resources and has made the subject come alive and interesting and Cassie's knowledge of the subject has quadrupled in 6 weeks compared to a year's worth of self study!
Gill is very positive and supportive and cassie and I would recommend Gill as an excellent tutor! We are so pleased to have found Gill.
So nice to hear ! Thanks Neela and Cassie for such lovely feedback. I do love teaching Psychology and am glad to have had a positive impact.
From Karen
Gill has really motivated my daughter and has re-ignited her interest. Her tutoring skills techniques are varied to maintain engagment. Gill is clearly very passionate about her subject and this is infectious! Many thanks Gill!
Thank you Karen for the positive feedback. So nice to hear that your daughter has now rediscovered her initial interest for psychology. I'm looking forward to working alongside her for as long as she feels is necessary.
From Simone
Brilliant teaching and very clear and helpful workbooks for every topic. Using Skype hasn't been an issue and it has worked very well in all of my sessions.
Thank you so much for the positive feedback Simone. I'm pleased that the online sessions are benefitting your studies and look forward to working with you for as long as you feel that I can help.
From Paul
Gill has provided invaluable help and assistance for my daughter and I would highly recommend **Web Address Removed** has given my daughter the confidence to continue with her A level.
That's good to hear Paul. Thanks for the positive feedback. I'm looking forward to continuing working with your daughter in the run up to her exams in June.
From Jane
Gill has been excellent so far. She is pleasant,organised,reliable and offers a very high standard of tutoring, making it tailored to my daughters needs.She is a real find and I would recommend her with 100% certainty to any prospective students.
Thank you so much for your positive feedback Jane! I pride myself on being able to provide individual, bespoke learning sessions for every learner.
