Perfect! My daughter was lacking in confidence in English and didn’t know how to approach her GCSE revision. Linda really helped her in putting more structure into her revision and focusing on where the marks were. This helped my daughter to concentrate on the key points she needed to draw out but also helped her to feel comfortable with the wide range of texts they could be asked about. Linda was very flexible with the lessons too - she fitted in extra sessions as we got closer to the exam and into study leave.
Linda’s guidance and kindness made English so much less stressful for my daughter and for that we are really grateful.

My daughter had lessons with Linda to try to get into a grammar school and passed every English exam from the help of her. She only had lessons for a few months and her English improved drastically. Linda was given a short amount of time to work with my daughter as we weren't expecting the exams to come so early. We had long lessons and she did as much as she could to help my daughter. We are very grateful for Linda and we would recommend her to anyone who's looking for a good English tutor.

From Katrina (5/5): (Primary Entrance Exams) Linda has been a great support to our 10 year daughter during a year of weekly 1:1 tuition, resulting in some excellent progress in both Maths and Literacy as well as solid preparation for the 11+ entrance exam. Linda also helped us initiate the formal process to verify that our daughter has mild dyslexia. She has a nice pleasant manner and consistent approach...

Report: In depth knowledge of iGCSE English. Linda has been in constant contact with my son even outside of lesson time to constantly review his coursework and provide him with helpful tips and further study recommendations. I have no doubt I picked the best tutor for him. Linda tutors many students from my son`s school and is very familiar with the requirements and standards.
