My daughter has been going to Karen throughout S4 for support with English. She is dyslexic and low in confidence around her ability to write in long form. Karen has made a massive impact on her confidence and approach to English. She did wel in her prelim and is approaching her exam with more confidence than I could ever have expected.
I asked my daughter what she felt she had gained while going to Karen. She said
-techniques for doing the work -loads of resources -suggesting and getting her comfortable using a scribe
It has also been a massive help that Karen is so friendly and lovely and made the whole experience a really positive one.
From Helen
I would thoroughly recommend Karen. She has worked well and inspired my daughter in her N5, and has understood and worked well with her ASN needs. And even better, S can't wait to go to sessions with Karen!
From Sara
Karen has made such a difference to my daughter’s understanding and enthusiasm for GCSE English literature and language. As Karen teaches in the Scottish education system she has gone over and above what I would have expected for a tutor; spending a lot of her own personal time researching the specific exam board specifications, annotating poetry and other relevant texts. Hopefully this will reap positive rewards for my daughter when the exams come in the next couple of months. Would highly recommend Karen.
From Linda
Karen has helped my son feel confident in Higher English. He leaves lessons feeling happy and positive. He has recently achieved a great grade in his prelim. She is doing a fantastic job with him and I'd highly recommend her as a tutor.

From Jackie
My 16 year son is working with Karen currently and although initially reluctant to get help with Higher English, he’s really seeing the benefits and enjoys his sessions. Karen is knowledgeable, patient and clearly knows how to tailor learning to individual students. Karen has helped improve my son’s confidence, she’s helped him improve significantly in RUAE and he obtained an A grade in his recent prelim exam as a result. Karen is clearly very close to the course and as a result is able to help improve performance. It helps that she able to put students at ease quickly and is very pleasant and engaging. Thank you Karen

From emma
Karen is exactly what our 3rd son needed to get him back on track with his English and now he loves it. We have used tutors for our 4 boys so we know what is required from a good tutor. Karen is brilliant, friendly/fun, professional and reliable in relation to his studies. He has gone from a likely fail to a predicted B in higher
From iciar
Karen has been teaching my son for the last month so far and she has been very thoughtful and dedicated as well as highly professional. My son is very happy with her, finds it easy to understand the concepts and to progress with the task with her help. Besides, she has spotted his learning difficulties and has made very useful recommendations to us in order to get help in place in school for my son. I highly recommend her!
Thanks! I'm glad I could help him get the support he deserves!
