Melanie helped my daughter enormously with her GCSE English. She had missed a lot of school due to illness and Melanie was able to build her confidence and help her revise in a very logical and helpful way. She achieved a 7 in English Literature and a 5 in English Language which far exceeded our expectations as she is dyslexic. I would thoroughly recommend her tutoring.
From Lucy
Melanie is an exceptional tutor who went above and beyond to ensure our daughter succeeded. Her in-depth understanding of the English curriculum and her ability to identify and address teaching weaknesses (and incorrect interpretation of exam structure) were instrumental in helping our daughter achieve an A* from a predicted C/B.
If your child is serious about their studies and willing to put in the effort, Melanie is that one in a million tutor. She has a remarkable ability to connect with students, especially those with additional needs and/or neurodiversity, she can tap into their strengths and adapt learning style to get the best out of her students. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Melanie’s guidance and support were invaluable in helping my daughter take the next step in her law studies.
We cannot thank you enough for everything you have done Melanie. Any student who gets the chance to work with you is very, very lucky.
Thank you so much. It was an absolute pleasure. It’s incredibly moving to know how transformational this was. It really can change lives
From Sarah
Melanie was amazing with my daughter. She not only gave her feedback, direction and support, she also gave my daughter back her confidence. I would highly recommend Melanie.
Thanks so much. An absolute pleasure and such s great result in a relatively short space of time!
From Lisa
Melanie helped my son prepare for his GCSE English and more recently IB English. She is an excellent tutor - very professional, knowledgeable and organised. My son always looked forward to his lessons with her. I can highly recommend her.
Such a pleasure to work with your son and help him through the criteria needed to succeed. These were very impressive results
From Jane
Thank you very much for your encouragement, guidance and reliable support. My child has found the lessons extremely beneficial and, in consequence, she has grown in confidence. Thank you.
You’re so welcome. It has been wonderful to see the student‘s progress even over the very short time that we’ve worked together ahead of these important exams setting the development of confidence even in stressful conditions.
From James Lawrence
I have used Melanie for over a year now for both of my children, last year for my eldests son GCSE's year including my youngest son who is now continueing tuition for year 10 Mocks and his GCSE next term. Both bous have found Melanie approach to teaching advantageous and both got on with her extremeley well. I would highly recommend Meleanie to assist in extra English tuiton.
It’s been so fun working with both of the boys and finding new and exciting strategies to help them to learn and get ahead of the curve. This has felt just like family.
From Kate
Hugo is gaining confidence in his ability to write and record his ideas, however he needs lots of encouragement to build his self belief in his ability.
It's so great seeing him grow in confidence!
From Intan
I would like to thank Melanie for her support and encouragement that were given to my daughter, Sofia . Melanie has inspired and motivate Sofia in many ways in the most positive way. I am confident that Sofia will do very well in her exam, thanks to Melanie!!!
Sofia is such a great girl and so hard working. I wish her all the best and please do let me know how she gets on in her further studies. I have lots of free A-Level resources for her on my site. Good luck!
From Heather
so far so amazing. my son is really learning - he engaged with what Melanie is teaching him- so sad his teacher at school cannot. L is really keen to learn and use all the new English techniques Melanie is showing him. Will keep site posted to progress.
I'm so pleased he's enjoying it! He's working so well and seems totally focussed. I'm hoping for great things!
From Rod
Melanie is very reliable and focussed on helping my son who has gained confidence in essay writing, research skills and exam technique, including handling the calculations and core concepts on his business studies papers. She makes things that seem difficult so much easier and even fun. Overall, in all his subjects, he is now happy and achieving two grades higher than expected.
This is fantastic, thank you, and well done J. What a result!
