We engaged with Melissa in October 2023 to help our Son, who was struggling with gaps in content, retaining knowledge and A-level psychology exam technique. Melissa quickly assessed what was needed and put into place a weekly programme to cover these areas. Eight months of hard work has got our Son to a significantly higher level. Her preparation and sessions have been challenging but she has always been encouraging and the results are clear to see. Our Son has gone into his first 2 A-Level papers this week with confidence and a belief that he can achieve the grade he needs to secure his University place. Melissa is highly recommended!
Thank you so much for your kind words. It has been a pleasure working with your son and to see him progress to the point where he knows tooic content well and has worked incredibly hard to reach his potential. he has be delightful to work with, so polite and engaging. Here's to achieving a grade wrothy of his efforts.

Melissa stepped in at very late notice to help my son who was struggling with exam technique. We were drawn to Melissa's profile because of her extensive examining and teaching experience. My son found Melissa's approach very helpful, she was kind and generous with her time, clearly wanting the best for my son. My son was also grateful for the flexibility she showed, in terms of offering sessions to fit around a busy and fluctating school timetable. Melissa's experience as an examiner was especially helpful, as she reviewed my son's essays and provided specific and clear feedback, which was particularly helpful. She also provided additional resources to help him structure his answers/essays, which was much appreciated. We can highly recommend Melissa.
Thank you so much Mel. Your feedback is very much appreciated. It’s great so see a young person feel confident, take advice and effectively apply it. Here’s to his hard work and effort paying off in the summer.
From Anna

Thank you Anna, it’s a pleasure working with your son. He is enthusiastic and understands what his needs are. I look forward to his final success in summer exams.

Melissa has been a fabulous A level Psychology tutor for our son Jude. The lessons have really helped him better understand concepts and get a much better insight into what is needed in answering exam questions. Melissa's is organised, reliable, professional and has been brilliant at motivating our son! He is now facing his A level exams with far more confidence and enthusiaim for the subject and I'm sure that their hard work together will be reflected in his exam results.
Thank you for your kind words. Jude has been so cooperative and very clear in what his needs have been. He’s so motivated to do well and has been great to tutor. I wish Jude all the success he deserves in his exams.

Melissa is extremely welcoming in her manner and is very knowledgeable. She was able to help my daughter organise her revision work which resulted in her work going up by 3 grades. My daughter is now much more confident in her work.
From Sharren
Melissa have been working with my daughter in Psychology (A-level) since December 2020. My daughter felt very supportive and able to understand topics that she is weak on. Melissa helped to structure and guide her with exam questions and techniques. We are very greatful to Melissa for her time and efforts to improve our daughter's understand of the subject. Thank you for all that you do.
Thank you so much Sharren, It has been a pleasure to work with your daughter. She is so eager and it has been good for me to appreciate how her mind works and meet her needs under more difficult than usual times.
