Penny was a great tutor, very enthusiastic and always willing to personalise lessons to suit my needs. Her impact was clear from my final GCSE scores, with them increasing markedly and achieving the grades I need for sixth form college.
From Andrew
My son was predicted an ‘E’ in his biology A level at the end of last year. So at the beginning of the year we decided to get a tutor. With Penny’s help he achieved a ‘C’ which enabled him to get into the University of his choice. Excellent Tutor Excellent Rate Fantastic result Thank you so much Penny!

From Sonia
Penny started tutoring my son a couple of months ago. My son has found her a fantastic teacher! His own words:) Penny is good at stretching her students. She is very well organised and know how to inspire her students to do better. I would highly recommend Penny for anyone who wants their child to succeed in this subjet.
From Catherine
My daughter really enjoyed her first tutor session with Penny and said she was lovely and really helpful!
From Marwah
Penny is a very well organised and professional tutor. Unfortunately, the way of teaching didnot work well with my daughter. Many Thanks

From Christine
From the outset, communication with Penny has been easy and considerate, in order to find the best way to support our home educated neurodiverse son. She has a very caring and gentle manner which instantly put him at ease. They are currently working through the IGCSE syllabus for physics but will fill any gaps in his knowledge as he has not formally studied physics before. The lessons are conducted online and my son looks forward to them every week. We receive regular feedback and I would have no hesitation in recommending Penny as a tutor. I'm delighted we found her.
From Naheed
I chose Penny for my daughters science tuition… There was nothing wrong with her teaching but the timing was inconvenient.
It was a pleasure to teach Sophia. I am sorry we could not find a time that suited you better.
From Anca
Penny has helped my daughter greatly, she teaches in an effective and passionate way, different to school, which helps my daughter to understand the topic in greater detail and better understanding. This has been reflected in her excellent GCSE grades she achieved. Thank you so much Penny, my daughter really enjoys the lessons with you!
From Ruth
My daughter looks forward to her weekly online lesson with Penny and is becoming more confident. She understands more in school lessons and is much more positive about sitting her Gcse.
From Melanie
In year ten my daughter was really struggling with her combined science & looked set to fail. I’d found science similarly difficult at school & didn’t want her to have the same struggle so after doing some research I found the angel known as Penny. She was so calm, clear & encouraging with my daughter that I knew from the start that we had made the right decision & when my daughter scored two sixes in her gcse we couldn’t have been happier. I would not hesitate to recommend Penny. She is a truly excellent tutor.
From Cengiz
Ms. Penny has done an excellent job teaching me chemistry. She is very thorough, patient and leaves no questions unanswered. I was very overwhelmed with chemistry before I started lessons with her, but she has made chemistry my favorite subject by far and has helped me achieve the grades I wanted. Her experience and understanding of the curriculum are evident. I would highly recommend Ms. Penny as a tutor.
From Kamran
Penny is a great teacher. A professional with excellent comms. My daughter enjoys her Chemistry GCSE lessons with Penny. I highly recommend Penny.
From Yumi
Penny is willing to offer assistance in any subject area of my choosing, holding no judgement on the level of difficulty of the subject, and will patiently help until the topic is fully understood. In areas that I found particularly difficult, Penny was extremely understanding and provided an assortment of revision materials and techniques to practice. Penny's revision session was well structured, creating a balance between teaching, discussion and application to exam questions. This allowed room for learning how to reach an answer independently, without over reliance on being immediately provided the answer.
From Cath
Since starting with Penny during the lockdown my daughter is thoroughly enjoying her tutor sessions, online but very connected would thoroughly recommend.
From Sara
Penny is a very knowledgeable science tutor. She is impressively knowledgeable on all aspects of the GCSE Combined Science curriculum but even better she is completely approachable. She is a superb ‘study buddy’ with patience, knowledge which she imparts in a way that all aspects of Science become understandable. I would highly recommend Penny as a tutor either in person or on-line. Physics has never been so much fun and lessons so eagerly anticipated. A five star tutor!
From Sophie
Penny is very thoughtful and plans the sessions according to the student’s needs as well as aiding in exam preparation by past exam papers which she kindly marks in her own time. She is a great teacher and has already made a big difference! Thank you Penny!
From Helen
My daughter has had 2 sessions with Penny who is supporting her with GCSE physics and chemistry. Penny has made her feel welcome, she has planned each lesson in response to my daughters recognised weak areas.
Dear Helen, It is very rewarding to see Hannah's confidence grow visibly, so quickly. Thank you, Penny
From Samantha
Penny is a warm, approachable and professional tutor. She put our daughter at ease, was very positive, encouraging, quick to assess and gave good advice.
We would highly recommend Penny and have no hesitation in using her expertise as a private tutor.
It was a real pleasure to help, and I look forward to working together.

From Victoria
Penny has been helping me work towards my OCR Chemistry A level due for examination in 2019. Penny is a fantastic tutor and I really enjoy my sessions with her. She is really easy to get along with and I am never afraid to tell her that I don't understand a topic. After only a couple of months of tutoring with Penny I have been able to increase my exam grades from D/E to B. I would highly recommend Penny. Thank you from Jamie
It is very rewarding to Jamie's confidence blossom and the progress he has made. I really enjoy helping Jamie.
From Laura
Lovely calm manner, was great at explaining things. Good at testing to see if had learnt the chapter. To have powerpoint to save to a pen - great idea as can refer back to at any time.

From Iain
