We feel so lucky to have found Emily as a tutor for our 12-year-old son, Henry. English has always been a challenging subject for him, especially with his dyslexia, and he’s never really enjoyed it. Emily is incredibly engaging, and she has a wonderful way of connecting with Henry. She goes above and beyond to make English enjoyable, tailoring her approach to keep him interested and motivated. Emily’s patient support and creative methods have helped him gain confidence in reading and writing, and it’s been amazing to see how much progress he’s making.
From Shelley
Emily is an outstanding English tutor.
Not only has she helped my son prepare for his GCSE exam (over a 4 month period) improving his grammar, narrative writing, spelling, language technique and comprehension, she has also captured his imagination and helped unleash his creative mind.
Emily is inspirational and a true pro!
Thank you
From Vickie
Emily has been teaching my 11year old daughter for the past year. My daughter had been struggling in English, she would often get frustrated and upset regarding this. Emily’s patience, in depth teaching and professional approach has given my daughter the confidence and ability to meet the expected standard for her age. This had been proven from school reports, discussions at parents evenings and her passing English SAT’s test. My daughter thoroughly enjoys her tutor lessons. I would recommend using Emily.
From Lee
All I can say is, Emily is amazing.
From Dick
Emily has been an excellent teacher for helping my daughter prepare the GCSE English Language and English Literature exams. She is experienced and enthusiastic in teaching. Emily prepared and organised well for all lessons. Her teaching is interesting and encouraging. She always provided valuable and constructive feedbacks to my daughter after each lesson. We highly recommend Emily.
From Monica
Emily is an amazing teacher. From the first lesson with my son, she intuitively knew how to get the best out of him. He usually dreads English but Emily’s engaging and energetic manner are infectious, making the lessons so much fun, that he doesn’t even realise that he is learning. He looks forward to his lessons with her and tries to impress her with what he has learnt so far. The feedback at the end of each session is invaluable for us parents but also instils in our son pride in what he has achieved and the confidence to keep going.
From Nicola
I can honestly say that Emily has achieved absolute wonders with the 11+ preparations in terms of building both the crucial skills and self-assurance necessary to be able to tackle these daunting exams. Not only has our daughter been accepted by her two first choices: Highgate and St Paul's Girls' School but she has enjoyed every single lesson with Emily whose expertise, positivity and confidence is infectious.
From Emily
We are so impressed with Emily whose sensitivity and tailored teaching has meant our son continues to make great progression in English despite a history of dreading English as a subject and complex educational needs. Emily is clearly a very experienced teacher and her many years of professional experience in the classroom is obvious. Her teaching is bespoke and inclusive and her detailed feedback after each lesson is brilliant. Thank you Emily!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback Emily; I am delighted to be able to help Ivan continue to grow and improve in his English. His newfound enthusiasm for the subject is a joy!
From An An
Emily is such a sweet teacher, she helped me structure my paragraphs and taught me many techniques to tackle long essay questions. Highly recommend!
Thank you for your kind feedback An An. I'm absolutely elated to hear how well you performed and, even more importantly, how happy you are with your GCSE English results this year. Your commitment to our classes and your independent revision has really paid off and I'm just so pleased to hear that you are able to continue with your chosen A levels in sixth form this next academic year – well done you!
From ELITSA
We have only a little time left until the GCSE exams. Emily is very positive person and if we have started earlier we could of continue with her.
Wonderful to work with you Elitsa and the best of luck to you with the upcoming exams.
From Gulshan
Emily is a professional and punctual teacher. The children have progressed well and she plans the work prior to lesson.
Thank you Gulshan, It's wonderful to continue to work with both Ishaq and Eliza and fantastic to see them improve across the board in English Literature and Language (in both confidence and level) each week - They have come so far!
From Sophie
Emily is extremely knowledgeable, methodical and professional. Her teaching approach is very motivating and the rapid progress we have seen in our daughter’s confidence and English grades in just a matter of weeks speaks volumes about her expertise. We couldn’t recommend Emily enough, especially for parent’s whose children are struggling to engage with English. Thank you so much Emily!
Thank you Sophie, so happy to hear this. The ultimate feeling of satisfaction in my role as a teacher is having both the honour and pleasure of supporting each of my students to achieve their purpose and goals in English (and beyond!)
From Charlotte
Emily is a superb tutor. Every lesson is engaging and meaningful. She is extremely accommodating and has taken the time to create mock style assessments outside of lessons for both my sons in prep for their end of term assessments, marked them and set targets. Before Emily, both boys lacked confidence and didn’t understand how to improve. Since working with her, they’ve progressed enormously and even won an award for most progress made in English in the year. We would highly recommend Emily to anyone who is seeking that extra bit of guidance to succeed.
Thank you for your kind feedback Charlotte. It's a pleasure to teach both your sons; their healthy appetite for discussion and debate during our lessons is so refreshing and I am delighted to see that their excellent progress in English is being clearly reflected and rewarded in their school outcomes.
From Gulay
Emily is a very warm, punctual and friendly tutor. Although I was taught by her for a short time, I found the lessons with her to be very helpful and I progressed to a great extent in my writing with her. During the lessons we had a look at my areas of weaknesses and strengthened them with practice and the use of many constructive techniques provided by her. I can say that Emily is a great tutor who is very talented and organised and with whom I enjoyed the lessons with. I improved a lot and appreciate all the effort she put in to making sure I get the best out of the lessons and improve.
Thank you very much for the kind words Gulay, it was a pleasure to teach your daughter Helin. I am so very pleased to hear the fantastic news that she passed her English GCSE resit following our lessons together and can now apply for her chosen university.
