Julie has been great: calm, thorough and instilling confidence.
Thank you Matt. She is an absolute pleasure to teach.
From Myrian
Julie is the best!! First time using her today and my daughter absolutely adores her. She learned so much already. My daughter cant wait for next weeks lesson. Thank you so much!!
Hi Myrian,
Thank you so much. We had a wonderful lesson today and I was very impressed with your daughter’s fantastic work ethic and concentration. She is going to make great progress!!! Thank you for your amazing support. It is invaluable. Warmest wishes.
From Lucy
My daughter has had just 2 lessons with Julie and already her confidence is growing.
I can’t recommend Julie enough, I am so happy I found her to tutor my daughter. She fills the children with confidence and she reads the children to see the best way to teach them.
Amazing tutor!
Thank you so much Lucy. She is an absolute pleasure to teach and your support is amazing. I thoroughly enjoy our lessons and I know that she will continue to make great progress.
From Swati
Julie is really professional and my son absolutely loves her classes. Couldn’t recommend her more.
Thank you Swati. Your son is an absolute pleasure to teach. Your support is also absolutely invaluable.
From Kausikh
We have been looking for a tutor to support the work we are already doing with our 9yr old, as well as inspire him to tackle the areas he finds hard. Julie has been wonderful - she is prompt to communicate, has a wonderful manner with children, and her years of teaching experience clearly show within even minutes of talking to her. Our son has thoroughly enjoyed learning with her, and we are confident that he is in good hands. We would gladly recommend her.
Thank you Kausikh. It is an absolute pleasure providing tuition to your son. He is a very bright boy and is going to make excellent progress. Thank you for such positive feedback
From Tracy
Julie is an excellent tutor very attentive caring and professional. She helped my son immensely. I hope her health issues resolve very quickly and she makes a speedy recovery
Thank you Tracy.
From Garros
Julie is an excellent tutor!
We are a Hong Kong family and my younger son, Caleb does not have fully confidence to communicate with people by using English. During the first lesson, I noticed that Julie is so understandable, so considerable that using simple English to let him understand what she's saying and teaching. I can hear laughing sound from them when they are in the lesson. After a few lessons now, I found that he can communicate with Julie with more confidence and also did very well on his learning. Besides, Julie is a very pleasant person and of course a professional tutor , she can teach my boy under a more relaxation atmosphere and make him more comfortable to learn English. I absolutely highly recommend Julie to anyone who needs excellent tutor!
Thank you. I am really enjoying my lessons with Caleb. He works very hard and our lessons are hard work but with lots of humour. Caleb is making very good progress and I am sure that he will continue do so. Thank you for your invaluable support as parents too as this makes a huge difference.
From Lilla
Julie is outstanding!!! I admire her expertise and the professional individualised attention she gives to bolster confidence and academic success. My child is so eager to attend and we can see the results already :) Best choice I've ever made for my child's tuition - I highly recommend!!
Thank you so much Lilla. I really enjoy our tuition sessions and the hard work that your daughter displays consistently. She is making fantastic progress and her confidence in tackling new topics has increased so much. I am thrilled with her progress and very much appreciate your ongoing superb support.
From Nina
My son was just at the start of year 6 and had really turned off, on education. He’d had a dreadful year 5 with a teacher he disliked and she him. We as parents were very worried as we new he could do better, but he just disliked everything about learning. When his new teacher described him as having ‘no work ethic’, we knew we had to try to get his spark back. Julie has turned this completely around. She has steadily built his confidence and self worth. Within 3 months he received 2 head teacher awards for his improvement in his work. He now has the confidence to put his hand up in class and does mental maths just for the fun of it. He is now back enjoying school and his teachers. I highly recommend her warm style and her finding and then filling the gaps needed. He enjoys going too which is a bonus. If there is anything he is stuck on or unsure about at school, he knows he can get to the bottom of it with true understanding with Julie. Making his next week at school a more confident and productive one. Thank you for a Great tutor!
Thank you Nina. He is an absolute pleasure to teach and we both really enjoy the lessons. He is very bright and loves a challenge. He is happy to push himself and tackle new things and I’m so pleased that he is demonstrating to his school how able he really is. Your support as a parent is invaluable. What a great boy!!!
From Marsha
I was looking for 1-2-1 tutor with a teaching background and Julie doesn’t disappoint. She is an excellent tutor who takes the time to get to know your child, so that the lessons are tailored to suit their needs. My daughter is learning more than what she already knows in both English and Maths in a very short space of time and is developing the additional skills learnt from Julie. My daughter finds her lessons both enjoyable and engaging. We will definitely continue with the lessons. Thank you
Thank you Marsha. Teaching your daughter is an absolute pleasure and we both enjoy the lessons. She is extremely hard working and will achieve great things. It is also essential to have first class parental support and I am extremely grateful that you clearly provide that. Long may our lessons continue.
From Cynthia
Brilliant teacher and very friendly, my children enjoy learning with Julie and have improved a lot with Julie’s tuition.
Thank you Cynthia. The boys are an absolute pleasure to teach and are making great progress. The support that you provide as parents is also highly valued and appreciated.
From Sarah
So far so good, my daughter feels very comfortable with Julie as do I. Professional & caring. I think my daughter will thrive with Julie as her tutor.
Thank you Sarah
From Jyoti
Our son did not want to go to a tutor but somehow Julie has found a way to engage him. She expects high standards and uses her professional experience as a teacher to inspire and motivate rather than just teaching exam practice in a rote fashion. We are really pleased we found her.
Thank you Jyoti. He is an absolute pleasure to teach and I really enjoy our lessons.
From Patricia
Our daughter has been going to Julie for a couple of months and has connected very well. We focused the tutoring on Maths and it is clear that our daughter has benefitted from the one-to-one tuition. Julie is flexible in her approach and is happy to accomodate specific areas that needs working and/or follow our daughter's school's method of teaching certain disciplines.
Thank you Patricia.
C is an absolute to teach and working very hard.
From Natalie
Hello Julie. After some thought we have decided on a different tutor. We would like to get started asap, so although we understand your circumstance we still have had no contact with you so have had to make alternative arrangements.
We have corresponded by text regularly over the past week and we had agreed a start date of this Wednesday evening. This was the most convenient start date following the death of my grandmother last week. Unfortunately a first lesson last week wasn't possible in the circumstances. I wish you every success in finding an alternative tutor.
Please note that feedback has been left but no tuition ever commenced.
From Sudhansu
My son went to Julie for tuition in preparation for his 11+ tears as well as common entrance for independent schools. Julie assessed him in first few lessons and tailored the subsequent lessons as per his needs. He progressed appropriately . He has been offered places in three independent schools and has attained good rank in grammar school. Thank you Julie Sudhansu Pattnaik Woodford Green
Thank you Sudhansu. It has been an absolute pleasure to tutor your son and I am very pleased that he has been so successful. Your support as parents has also been invaluable. Best wishes to you all.
From Bina
My daughter is very happy, have already recommended to many friends.
Thank you Bina. It's lovely to work with positive parents and pupils. Thank you for the recommendations too.
From Wendy
Julie is great. She put Assan at his ease immediately and focused on the key areas to practice.
Assan is a pleasure to tutor and is a very bright young man. It is also wonderful to have such a positive and supportive relationship with Wendy.
From Harleen
Very approachable. My daughter really enjoys her sessions with her. She also has greater confidence now .
Thank you Harleen
From Ang
Excellent, quality teaching. Julie has engaged with my daughter establishing a rapport quickly . Moreover in just a few short lessons she has increased my daughter's confidence to such an extent that she wants to and feels she can achieve. Julie's feedback after lessons is focussed, detailed and realistic. She outlines planning for next lessons and is able to identify areas of weakness and why very quickly . She has certainly taken the stress of out of 11 plus preparation for me as a parent and I value her advise .
Thank you AG. She is an absolute pleasure to teach and I am pleased that we have all established such a strong relationship so quickly.
From Julian
I have tried contacting Julie from the time I got the details released from First Tutors after paying their fee but have NOT yet had any response from the tutor. I left several voice messages and texts but not no response to date (29th Dec 2013). I required a tutor urgently to coach my son for his entrance exam next month and not having any response is not reflecting good on the tutor or the source I received the details from. I'm disappointed by not receiving any communication !
I was contacted by this gentleman at the last minute and asked to tutor his son for entrance examinations next month. After advising him that this was insufficient preparation time, I agreed to offer some tuition during my Xmas break as he was desperate. However, my texts on 20th Dec, 21st Dec and 22nd Dec to organise dates to tutor over the Xmas period were met with a response (on 22nd Dec) that the family were now travelling abroad and would contact me on their return. I was then bombarded with text messages yesterday requesting tuition today (29th). I was unable to respond quickly enough to suit this gentleman and he therefore left me negative feedback this afternoon, followed by a text asking if I would be available to tutor next week. I have never met this man or his son. I have declined to work with this gentleman. My positive feedback on this website and many happy and successful tutees speaks for itself .
From Janet
Julie makes Rebecca feel very comfortable and is able to draw her out and make her work .You are very easy to get along with and your vast teaching experience is seen in the way to teach . I am sure Rebecca will truly improve in confidence and ability as we continue our sessions together
Rebecca is an absolute pleasure to teach and is making very good progress. Our lessons are highly enjoyable.
From Anne
We only had two lessons with her as she was promoted and could not continue tutoring. We were completely satisfied with her lessons.
Thank you so much. I enjoyed our lessons and was sad not to be able to continue. Best wishes.
From Roxanne
Julie - You are absolutely first-rate. A fantastic tutor! Duante is so much more confident in class when answering questions and has moved up a group since coming to you. Even though its just an hour every week, it has made all the difference in the world and is just what he needed. He looks forward to the 1 hour session and I know he enjoys them. Thank you :)
Duante is such a pleasure to teach. He works so hard and doesn't give up. He is making great progress and I know he will continue to do so. A supportive mum also makes a significant difference. Your contribution is invaluable.
From Paul
We used Julie briefly to help our daughter prepare to take two 11+ entrance exams. Our daughter's confidence in tackling exam questions increased, and she enjoyed her sessions with Julie. We wait to see how well she has performed in the exams. Thanks for your help.
Thank you Paul.
We didn't have long together, but I enjoyed our lessons. Glad she passed!
From Gemma
Very pleased with Julie tutoring my son He has always struggled with school and teachers find him Difficult to educate which is why I'm so glad I found Julie, she is patient,kind and firm Which has helped my son come on leaps and bounds and he looks forward to seeing her Every week I could not have asked for a better tutor Thank you very much Julie Kind regards Gemma
Thanks Gemma. He is a pleasure to teach
From Kulvinder
We met Julie on two occasions I think and I have to say excellent tutor definitely knows her stuff but a tad over booked. Gutted that Julie cannot teach my son by hey no we keep looking I guess.
I am a very busy tutor. These people were a very nice family but I was unable to meet the level of specialist tuition that they required for their son's very complex special educational needs. I only tutor part time.
Hope you are able to find someone suitable.
From Prab
patient, methodica, dedicated, sets lessons according to pupils ability and needs.
From Lynsey
Kids very happy, Julie Is a very kind lady, thank u
Thank you Lynsey. Your children are an absolute pleasure to teach and I look forward to their lessons.
From Monique
I think she was good teacher Bar one exception having only sine her once a big time communication break down and I feel outer pocket of £25 for the lesson then £15 administration fee plus the cab fees because on her site she said she does home visits and then finding out on the day she doesn’t do home visits because first tutors put it up wrong so no I’m not happy
I declined to continue tutoring this client after the first lesson. There was no communication breakdown. The client arrived late for the first lesson, had conversations on her mobile phone during the lesson and cancelled the second lesson with no notice, by text. I always tutor from home and my house is on all major bus and train routes. I am a professional tutor with outstanding feedback. I teach to an extremely high standard and expect to be treated with courtesy and respect by clients. Please see real feedback from many happy clients with children making excellent progress. 1/5 Rating
From Kirsty
Highly recommend Julie.
My daughter's confidence has grown in both Maths and English since her time with Julie and she looks forward to her hour with her every week.
Thanks Kirsty. She is a pleasure to teach and I too look forward to our lessons. She is making great progress.
From Bal
Having recently met Julie, my first impression was total satisfaction. Lovely tutor who has caught my daughter's attention on the first meeting. My daughter enjoys the time she spends with her and is learning and picking up much quicker than I thought. She benefits from the one on one coaching with the tutor. She looks forward to meeting Julie. Having met other tutors and tuition centres, I wasn't overly impressed with what they were offering and this tutor was my answer!
I would recommend Julie for sure as she is excellent and I'm sure that my daughter will excel in class at school now and I walk away feeling confident with what she has taught. Julie is very informative, honest and a tutor who knows what they are talking about! Something that most parents would expect for their child.
Thank you so much Bal. You are such a supportive parent and this counts for a great deal.
I really enjoy our tutoring sessions and you daughter is already making excellent progress. She is keen to learn, works very hard and is an absolute pleasure to teach. I am absolutely sure that she is going to excel.

From Irina
Julie is an excellent, friendly and helpful teacher. She gave our daughter intensive tuition which helped her pass two 7+ entrance exams with only a short period of preparation time. I would highly reccommend her to anyone who is preparing for 7+ entrance exams. Our daughter enjoyed studying with her.
Thank you Irina. She was an absolute pleasure to teach and a very bright and capable girl. Your help and support as parents was also invaluable. I know that she will go on to achieve great things. Best wishes to you all.
From Enrico
Good teacher that helped me for my speaking IELTS test. I did only one lesson with her but she was prepared to test my level of speaking even if she isn't an IELTS teacher. The only problem was the payment, she accepted only cash and for a foreign student like me it was a problem and she didn't accept payment with credit card.
As an individual tutor rather than a company, I am unable to accept credit cards or international bank transfers as suggested by this pupil. I made this clear at the start. Unfortunately, I had to wait a month before this student paid for the single lesson he had. I wasn't impressed.
From Rachel
Julie
Thank you, both Chloe and Ben came home feeling very motivated on Saturday, lovely to see.
Rachel
Thanks Rachel. They are lovely children and both have the potential to do very well. They both worked really hard.
From Annmarie
Julie brought out the best in our son, it was only shame that he had her for such a short time. or the time he was with her he seemed reinvigorated and wanting to learn.
Thank you for feedback. Lessons with this young man were impossible as his much younger sibling (baby) stayed throughout the lesson. This proved to be extremely disruptive and made concentration for the tutee difficult. I was therefore unable to continue with tuition on this basis.
From Maxine
My daughter loves working with Julie, her confidence has grown in the short time that they have started to work together and she now looks forward to her maths tutoring.
Thank you so much. She is an absolute pleasure to teach and I am sure that she is going to make excellent progress.
From Lucie
Julie is absolutely brilliant. My daughter adores her and we are really pleased!
Many thanks. She is an absolute pleasure to teach and I am positive that she will achieve great things.
From Allison
Thank you for being such an amazing teacher. We are overwhelmed by the change in our daughter's work over the last few weeks. Jess really enjoys working with you and always comes out of each session on such a high. She seems to be growing in confidence every time she sees you. Jess has just finished the Owl pamphlet for you and it looks brilliant, she seemed so confident and engaged whilst completing it. Once again thank you so much for all your brilliant work with Jessie.
Thank you so much Allison. Jessie is such a delight to teach. She is focussed and enthusiastic and such fun in every lesson. Her confidence in her ability to write creatively has soared and I am very proud of her. She is an absolute star and I look forward to continuing our fabulous working relationship to ensure that she consistently achieves at the highest possible level. I look forward to reading the Owl pamphlet on Wednesday.
From Stephanie
Our 9-year-old was struggling with Maths at school and had absolutely no confidence in her ability. She has now been studying with Julie once a week for 3 months and her approach to Maths has completely changed, Julie begins with a thorough assessment and then works through various topics . Julie is very clear, patient, and most of all, enthusiastic and positive. This means that our daughter is able to feel as though she is really making progress - which she clearly is. Julie has been superb in helping build confidence and self-belief.
Thank you Stephanie. She is an absolute delight to teach and is making great progress. I really enjoy our lessons and I am glad that she is using her skills in the classroom to wow her teachers. I look forward to our lessons as she is so enthusiastic and keen to learn. She is a fabulous pupil and I am very very proud of her.
From Sally
Julie, just want to sa**Contact Detail Removed**ge thank you for being so flexible and helpful. Amber loves seeing you and actually looks forward to your time together (and your biscuits). Youve been an absolute star, and Im so glad we chose you. See you next weekend. :-)
Tutoring Amber is an absolute pleasure. She is bright and enthusiastic and works very hard in every session. I am really enjoying working with Amber.
From Julie
In our opinion, Julie is proving to be a positive and encouraging influence on Alice. The work that they have completed together is helping Alice a great deal with her confidence in Maths. She is actually enjoying the sessions and that's very much due to Julie's approach.
Julie is extremely professional and her style with Alice has certainly made a difference. We are very happy to have Julie as a tutor for Alice and thank her for her efforts and patience so far.
Tutoring Alice is an absolute pleasure. She is a delightful girl who is keen and enthusiastic. She is making very good progress indeed. I am delighted to be tutoring Alice.
From Corin
Very impressed
A delightful girl and an absolute pleasure to teach!
From Astrid
Julie is a fantastic tutor. We were hesitant to find a tutor using a website, but have been so pleased that we did. When Julie assessed our 10-year old son, she confirmed that he was very capable, but was lacking confidence in his schoolwork, mainly with his literacy. We just wanted him to have more confidence prior to starting year 7 at a new school. Julie worked with him on a weekly basis (1 hour a week) and we were amazed how she managed to connect with him, to get him to understand tha he was indeed capable to do literacy and not to give up after just looking at the task. He would come home with a big smile on his face, which was lovely for us parents, but even more so or our son, who managed to reach his goals at the end of year 6. He is definitely more confident now and has had a great start in year 7 at his new school. I truly believe this is due to Julie's help. Would highly recommend her for tutoring of any primary school age.
Thank you so much Astrid. It was an absolute pleasure working with such a polite, hardworking young man (with a great sense of humour). He made amazing progress and always did his absolute best. I know that he will continue to make amazing progress and make you all very proud. Best wishes to you all.
From Suzanne
I am very pleased with Julies approach to our specific problem. We have only had 2 sessions so far but my daughter has aready improved quite dramatically, she has given my daughter a strategy to deal with her writing issue but more importantly the belief too.
Thank you Suzanne. I am really enjoying our sessions and I am so pleased with progress so far.
From Glen
Excellent.
Julie was informative, patient and clear in her tutoring.
