I would totally recommend Felicity for tutoring. My daughter was finding English GCSE literature/language extremely hard. Felicity helped her break things down, new techniques for answering exam questions and did this in a relaxed and positive way. My daughter went on to get a grade higher in her exams than she was expected to achieve. Felicity has a fantastic knowledge of her subject and is able to use this to help others.
Thank you, Katie. She worked really hard and it paid off! No more Jekyll and Hyde or Macbeth - ever!! All the very best in the future.
From Ramla
Felicity is an excellent English teacher. She helped prepare my son for his IGCSE English papers 2023 (Edexcel board). My son felt confident and feels he has done really well. Once we receive his grades will add to this feedback. Felicity is kind and patient and very knowledgeable on the subject. I would recommend Felicity to anyone who is looking for extra help in English Language and Literature.
Hello Ramla,
Thank you for your kind review. Helping your son has been a pleasure. I'm very much looking forward to hearing about his results in August.
Best wishes,
Fliss
From Schnel
Felicity is an expert tutor in English and English Literature. My son has grown in confidence and we’ve seen an improvement in his assessment grade. We are working with Felicity one year early, to ensure my son gains a 9 in English. We are really happy with his progress.
Thank you for the feedback, Schnel. It's great to hear his confidence is improving. He's doing really well so far.
From Fiona
Felicity is fantastic! She has really helped to re-engage my teenage son in a subject he used to really enjoy. She provides regular updates and I feel the work she is doing with my son is having a real impact.
Thank you for the fabulous feedback, Fiona. You've brightened my day! He's a great student. It was all there already!
From Serena
Fliss has been fantastic working with our son. He has grown in confidence already and really enjoys every session.
Thank you so much, Serena. I've really enjoyed every session too! It's great to have such an enthusiastic student. See you later today, Fliss
From Rizwan
If there was any rating beyond 5 , I would rate Felicity that. Very patient and interact very nicely with students. My daughter scored 9 in GCSE this year. Thanks a lot lot.
Thank you, Rizwan. I consider myself very fortunate to have such wonderful students!
From Farheen
Thank you, Farheen! I've very much enjoyed working with your son so far and I'm very pleased he's found the sessions beneficial.
From Elizabeth
Felicity taught my son English and this improved his confidence just after 2 lessons. She has good knowledge of the subject and she’s efficient.
Thank you, Elizabeth. I'm so pleased he's feeling more positive now. All the best, Fliss
From Eric
Felicity built an excellent rapport with my son and is friendly. The sessions are well structured and tailored to my son’s individual needs. Such as animal and plant. She has helped to boost his confidence. Overall we are very happy with Felicity's teaching and feel very fortunate to have found her through this site.
Thank you, Eric. It's great to have a student who shares my passion for the great outdoors!
From Damini
She is a very good tutor. But unsure if she is the right tutor for my daughter.
Thank you, Damini. Good luck in your search for a tutor.
From Gosia
I really enjoy my weekly lesson with Felicity. A great teacher, very friendly who adapts teaching materials to my needs and skills. An hour per week well spent. Highly recommended.
Thank you for the lovely feedback, Gosia! Looking forward to next week! Fliss
From Harriet
Felicity is an excellent tutor, I am a student on a gap year not currently in school and with solely her tutoring and guidance I was able to complete my English Language A level. She has been incredibly helpful, is very responsive, knowledgeable and supportive. I am very grateful for her help and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a kind and experienced tutor.
Thank you, Harriet. It's been a pleasure and you've done brilliantly! Good luck at university!
From Gosia
We are delighted with the high level of professionalism and detail in the tutoring which Felicity provides, in an environment which positivity encourages engagement and learning.She is clearly very knowledgable and experienced with the exam board requirements and through the lessons our daughter had with Felicity - sadly cut short by the Coronavirus - her grades improved from Level 6 to Level 9 in her mock exams which is testament to the results-driven guidance provide by Felicity . We would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Felicity and wish her every success for the future.
Thank you, Gosia. I've really enjoyed teaching Emily. She has such a positive, proactive approach to study! It's such a shame she's being denied the chance to show off her skills, especially her prosody. Please let me know how she gets on. Best wishes, Fliss
From Jane
My 16 year old son was struggling with English as he lacked confidence. However, Fliss listened to him and took the time to understand exactly what he found difficult. She concentrated on the areas he needed help with and we were very happy with the improvement she helped him to achieve. He became much more confident in his understanding of what was needed and his teachers all noticed this improvement which was reflected in his grades. In his mocks he was given a 3/4 but with the tuition his predicted grade increased to a 7.
Thank you, Jane. I'm so pleased with Joel's progress. He's worked so hard and come on so much. Excellent determination and focus! Can't wait to see him on the big screen!
From Subrata
Felicity is a very supportive and dedicated teacher. My Son took GCSE triple Sciences and Maths but needed support with English Literature and Language. He scored 8 in Language and we were very happy having found Felicity early on. My son was out of school due to underlining health issues for quite some time and depended on Felicity to catch up with school work. We will definitely recommend her to one looking for support with the subject.
Thank you, Subrata. He's a very bright student. Excellent understanding of the writer's craft. I hope he's getting on alright at college. All the best, Fliss
From Isabelle
Felicity was passionate, enthusiastic and very helpful. She was fantastic for my daughter whilst studying for her English Language and Literature GCSE Exams. Floss engaged my daughter; vastly increasing her knowledge, not only in the subject matter but also in what each paper was looking for. We loved having her at the house and can’t thank her enough for all her help. I would not hesitate to recommend her.
Thank you so much, Isabelle. I loved coming to you! I sometimes work in Guildford now and think of you when I'm passing. All the best, Fliss
From Rick
Our daughter finds interactions with teachers at school to be stressful and she was struggling with various aspects in her English lessons. She found it difficult to get the help she needed to understand the subject from her school. We found Felicity about 8 months ago and have engaged her services on a regular basis since then. Our daughter enjoys her lessons with Felicity and finds her help and advice to be very supportive. Consequently her ability and self confidence in the subject has grown during a very important phase of her education. Felicity is an excellent tutor and I highly recommend her.
Thank you, Rick. She's doing so well and possesses so many strengths! Just a bit of encouragement needed. Have a lovely Easter! Best wishes, Fliss
From Aoi
She is just EXCELLENT! My 12 years old daughter is enjoying her English lesson with Felicity very much!
Thank you, Aoi! I'm so pleased she's enjoying her English lessons. It's very exciting having a student so far away and I love hearing about the flamenco and tea ceremony lessons. Have a great weekend!
From Amanda
My son achieved a 5 in English Literature and a 4 in English Language which we are all delighted with, my son especially.
This achievement is mostly down to the additional support and tutoring that he received from Felicity.
I can thoroughly recommend Felicity to anyone seeking tutoring in English Literature and English Language.
Thank you, Amanda! I'm so pleased he did it. He put in a praiseworthy and dedicated effort and thoroughly deserves his English-free further education experience!
From Laila
Fliss has been an absolutely brilliant tutor during the run up to my A Level Literature exam, she helped me to improve my exam technique to access the higher marks and developed my confidence with the subject. Fliss enabled me to achieve an A in English Literature, which was the grade that my university applications required. I am so grateful for all of Fliss’ help, I will miss our weekly sessions and I would highly recommend her
Thank you, Laila. I too will miss our sessions. I especially loved all the Coleridge. In fact, so inspired was I that I went off to the West Country to walk a bit of the Coleridge Way! Have a great time at Warwick!
From Rebecca
Just to sa**Contact Detail Removed**ge thank you for your help, Emily achieved a 6 in English Language. So pleased. When I contacted you, she had just been given a 3 in her mock so an amazing turnaround. She really enjoyed working with you and it obviously made a huge difference to her end result. Thank you so much!
Thank you, Rebecca. I'm thrilled she did so well! She really got hold of it by the horns, though, didn't she? Thank you too for the recommendation and maybe see you in a couple of years!
From Oksana
Thank you, Oksana. I've really enjoyed my first two sessions with your delightfully imaginative son, and look forward to hearing more of his novel when I see him again later in the year.
From Sue
I cannot recommend Fliss highly enough, without her patience and understanding, our daughter would not have achieved her B in English Language and C in English Literature. Well done all round !!
Thank you, Sue. Didn't she do well? I hope everything is well with you.
From Tipu

Thank you, Kerrie, and all the best to you and your lovely family. Loved the elf outfits!
From Shyla

From Samantha

The speediest response to a feedback request ever, Amanda! Thank you. It was a pleasure.
From Atha
Felicity reacted positively to an urgent request to improve my son's English (IGCSE), gave him encouragement and confidence. He actually wants to do the work after just 2 sessions with her. She has a nice demeanor and genuinely wants to help.
Thank you, Atha. It's always nice to start the day with some positive feedback. Have a good half term, and see you soon.
From Carl
A first class attentive and helpful lady we would highly recommend
Many thanks, Carl. A pleasure. See you on Wednesday.

Fliss tutored my daughter during year 11. While my daughter had the ability she lacked confidence, through her sessions with Fliss she built this confidence and managed to get both her language and literature GCSEs meaning she can now do the a levels she wants.
Thanks Fliss from us all.
Hi Sally. Thank you. It was a pleasure. I'm quite missing my trips over the hill and the lovely coffee!
From John
Felicity made our daughter feel very comfortable straight from the beginning and really boosted her confidence in her English A-Level. We would highly recommend Felicity. Thanks!
Thank you John. Glad to help. Wish Ellie good luck in Cardiff!
From Maria
Felicity helped my daughter enormously. Her English improved so much and although predicted a C/D in her GCSE she achieved a B in English Language and English Literature! Felicity's teaching is excellent but she is also so encouraging and both my daughters have actually enjoyed their English for the first time!
Thank you Maria. It was a pleasure and Evelyn worked so hard she deserves her wonderful grade B!
From Paris
My daughter saw Felicity weekly for 5 months before her As exams to help with her English language. My daughter found it gave her much more clearer understanding and a lot more confidence to support her with taking the exam. Would strongly recomend and will be using her again in the 4 months leading up to her A2 exams.
Thank you, Paris. I'm very pleased I was able to help and look forward to seeing you both again soon.
From Lindsay
I am very pleased with the help and support that Felicity gave me to achieve my gsce English. She was professional and very well educated. She was reasonable priced for the service she provided and I would highly recommend her.
Thank you Lindsay. You were an excellent student! It's great that all your hard work paid off. Well done!
From Guy
Very good extremely helpful, Daisy is getting lots out of this.
Thank you Guy. It's early days, but Daisy's last essay result is encouraging. I'm very pleased she's finding the lessons so useful.
From Andrew
My Son was struggling to find confidence in the run up to his English GCSE so we found Felicity on this website and we were so glad we did. With her excellent support, my son was soon feeling much more able to cope and his attitude to the subject was completely transformed. He achieved a Grade A which was well above his predicted grade. Felicity is welcoming, friendly and a highly effective tutor.
Thank you, Andrew. I'm so pleased Nick got an A. He seemed to me to have a natural aptitude for the subject and goes down in my tutoring almanac as 'most courteous student 2015'. I can say this with confidence even though the year isn't out yet!
From Josef
Thank you for providing feedback, Josef. I really enjoyed my nine days on the Isle of Wight. Hopefully, we will see each other again in 2016!
From Karl
Very good tutor, Felicity has been helping my sons with their English controlled assessments and writing techniques. Would be happy to recommend to any prospective parent or pupil.
Thanks for the feedback, Karl, and for the recommendation. Hopefully, a bit of extra work will pay dividends - they're intelligent and keen on reading so shoot me if it doesn't!
From May
Thank you May. Good luck with your degree and your search for a job!
From Carol
Felicity is lovely and was wonderful for my daughter, she really enjoyed her time with her. She increased her confidence and ability in her English. She felt much better prepared for her exams.
Thank you Carol. I hope Georgia is getting on alright post GCSE.
From Wendy
My son has been going to Felicity for help with his A'Level English and in a short period of time I have seen his confidence grow and develop. He is yet to sit his exam but I wanted to say how impressed I am with the work he is doing with her. Felicity regularly emails helpful hints, to assist in the writing of his coursework, which he has found incredibly helpful. His A'Level staff have also seen his writing technique mature, which in turn will help him secure the grade he needs for university.
Thank you Wendy. Harry is a great student, interested in my two favourite things, English and History, so it's been a pleasure.
From Sue
Felicity has been a brilliant tutor, very caring, flexible and willing to make special arrangements. Our son is dyslexic, and Felicity has been sensitive to that, and helped to boost his confidence with English. He has also enjoyed their sessions together because of her friendly, encouraging manner. Sue Wallace
Thank you, Sue. Wish Nick luck from me with his exams, and see you on Saturday.
From Moira
Felicity has been very helpful with my daughters English A level coursework and essay writing skills. She is very patient and has identified some reasons as to why my daughter is struggling slightly with her speed and suggested a course of action to address this. Home work is set and marked by Felicity which has also been a help. My daughter is studying English language AQA B and would recommend this tutor.
Thank you for your feedback, Moira, and I hope the letter proves fruitful.
From Janice
Claire was extremely pleased with her Grade A in A level English. The tutoring she received was excellent and allowed her to explore the texts in more detail and in a thought provoking way. She enjoyed her tutoring sessions and the feedback on her essays was always helpful. Felicity was always accommodating and encouraging, and I would have no hesitation in recommending her as a tutor!
Thank you Janice. I'm so pleased Claire got the A. All the best for the future, and good luck to Claire at university. Fliss
From Elizabeth
Felicity has been an excellent tutor for my daughter Helen and has prepared her well for her GCSE's. Felicity is easy to get along with and has been extremely patient. She has taught Helen many valuable exam techniques. Helen's confidence and standard of work have improved dramatically. I would not hesitate in recommending Felicity.
Thank you Liz. I hope the exam went alright yesterday. Looked to me like Helen should walk it! Let me know, and have a relaxing sunny summer. It's been a pleasure.
From Pete
Felicity has been very helpful. My daughter is enjoying working with her. She is very helpful and has given us some good advice.
Thanks Pete. Ali's a great student and I'm enjoying teaching her. See you next Saturday. Fliss
From Miranda
Felicity is outstanding. She is not only an excellent teacher, but she goes beyond basic teaching by observing and listening closely to determine the individual challenges faced by each student. Once she has identified these, she will use her experience to make recommendations for the best forward path. She is enthusiastic about her subject and her knowledge is particularly broad. I would not hesitate to use Felicity again and I am delighted to have found her.
Many thanks Miranda. Please pass on my best wishes to Isaac when you see him next, and I look forward to hearing from you in the future.
From Ian
Felicity is great, patient and imaginiative. Our daughter is much more focused and beginning to enjoy English, which is a million miles from where we started.

Thank you Helen. I'm confident she can do it, but we'll keep our fingers crossed anyway!
From Helen
Felicity is helpful, supportive and nice and friendly. She really knows her subject and is a good teacher. My son has just reached his target grade B in English at A level in one year with her support. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Helen
Thank you Helen. I enjoyed it. It feels really good that Rob got the B in one year and I'm very pleased his coursework got such a good grade.
All the best and good wishes for the future.
Fliss
From Neil
With only a short period to prepare for an important interview requiring a written assignment, Felicity was able to formulate a lesson plan to identify areas for improvement. I found Felicity to be very approachable and have a very good teaching stye. I believe I have already benefitted from the few lessons delivered and with further lessons will achieve my aims.
Thank you Neil. Your positive comments are greatly appreciated. See you when you're back on dry land.

Tom is working really well with Felicity and he has just achieved a high mark for an assignment she has helped him with. She has exactly the right experience and personality we were looking for and is perfect for Tom. We are very pleased with Tom's progress.
Thank you Caroline. I'm very pleased with Tom's assignment grade too!
