My son has only recently been with Karen, but since he has started, she has been really helpful with her advice and feedback. Also she is extremely organised with her lesson planners etc. He seems to enjoy his sessions. Thankyou.
From Paula
Karen has tutored my son for two years supporting him in his A level studies. She has built both his confidence and his knowledge of the subject. Highly recommended!
From NICHOLAS
We contacted Karen around 10 months ago as our son was struggling with Economics and was therefore no longer enjoying the subject. Over the coming months Karen has helped our Son so much that he started to understand the subject far better, the enjoyment and improvement in his grades then started to show. During mock exam time and now A level time he has also managed to have some additional support in Business Studies and we await his final results. Karen has been fantastic in providing him with this learning, support and confidence in the subject matter.
From Kerstin
Karen has been a really helpful tutor for my son, working with him on A level Economics. Regular online tuition has reinforced his knowledge in the subject area. Karen communicated well, providing relevant papers and materials prior to these tutor sessions when required. i would definitely recommend her.
From Cath
Karen has been an excellent tutor for our son. She is reliable, punctual and professional to deal with and she is kind, caring and thoughtful to my son. She is clearly very knowledgeable of her subject and the exam process. I have appreciated that she has been flexible at times when necessary and I know she has gone above and beyond to ensure my son feels confident during the exam period. I have no hesitation in recommending her and we are very grateful that we found her and she has helped and supported him with his A level learning.
From Parin
My son was struggling with Economics at A level, it isn't a subject which you take lightly. We had a talk to Karen and my son spoke to her about what he was looking for as well. He seems a lot more confident as the time has gone on and at the time of writing this he has sat 2 out of the 2 exams. He has one more to sit 5th June 2023. Karen is professional and my son says she is a very good tutor, coming from a teenager, that is high praise indeed.
From Amrit
explains concepts well and has a concise teaching method. Implements relevant exam practice within lessons.
From Emma
Karen has been tutoring my year 13 son in both Business and Economics for nearly a year now and he really values her help and support. Her approach is structured, organised and methodical - just what he needs! She i in parts led by him and where he feels he is struggling whilst also being proactive in suggesting areas of focus. She helps him make sense of some of the more complex concepts and together they create clear handouts and notes that have been invaluable for his revision. She is also very happy to spend time reviewing past papers etc to help improve his exam technique. Finally, she is flexible when there needs to be changes in timings etc. Would recommend to others.
From Malin
Karen has been an excellent tutor in GCSE Mandarin for my 15 year old son. She is very professional and reliable and she also truly cares about her students. We are very lucky to have found her!
From Jaspal
Had first lesson but did not connect with way of working. Difficult to know until you have a meeting with tutor or have a lesson.
From Kirstie
After only three sessions my daughter feels more confident from the wonderful knowledge, support and encouragement Karen is providing - plus her grades are improving!
From Rebecca
Karen is a very professional tutor. She communicates well and answers all our queries immediately. Karen supplies a full package of resources to assist the tutoring programme.
My daughter likes her style of tutoring and she is now much more confident in Economics having lost so much college time due to COVID.
We are so pleased to have Karen as tutor for our daughter. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a tutor.
From Rose
My daughter suffers with severe anxiety & we opted to go down the home schooling route. Karen has been tutoring her (Business Studies GCSE) for a few weeks now and immediately made her feel at ease. Lessons are straightforward, using resources provided beforehand. Karen is very reliable and has adapted really well to my daughter’s needs.I would not hesitate in recommending her.
From Meryl
Excellent tutor.
From Clare
My daughter is feeling much more confident in A level Economics after just a couple of lessons.
From Lisa
Karen really went out of her way to accommodate us with a tutoring session for our daughter. Communication has been excellent and although our daughter has only just begun her tutoring sessions with Karen, she feels completely at ease with her, she enjoys her style of teaching and already feels that the sessions with Karen have benefitted her with her A level Economics work at school.
From Eva
Karen has had only one session with my son and what a transformation! She is professional with a human touch.She has definitely delivered on her student/person centred promise. My son is happy and optimistic of his future now. Thank you
From Sara
We have nothing but good things to say about Karen. She is an excellent tutor. Extremely knowledgeable and very supportive. Would highly recommend.
From Fiona
My daughter has recently started having lessons with Karen. She is enjoying the lessons so far and has gained some confidence in the subject.
From Carole
Karen has been working with my son online this summer, to help build his confidence in A-Level Economics before he enters his final year. She established an immediate rapport with him and took the time to explore his understanding of the subject foundations. Any weaknesses were addressed through teaching and supporting documents to consolidate learning. Karen has also used past papers as a super learning and reinforcement tool. Karen's work with my son has already developed his subject confidence and understanding (after 3 lessons!) I would have no hesitation in recommending Karen as a tutor.
From Emma
Karen has been really helpful since I started tutoring with her a few weeks ago. I have recently switched A-level subjects to Economics so invested in tutoring to catch up and am so pleased with Karen. She provides a nurturing environment by explaining things at the right pace, plus gives a mixture of notes and worksheets. I already feel much more confident in the basics of the subject after only starting a few weeks ago, she is brilliant.
From Ciara
Karen is a wonderful tutor. From her first lesson with our daughter we were impressed! She instilled such a sense of confidence, she understands and explains her subject (in our case economics) so clearly and well. Karen us enthusiastic, committed and has our daughter captivated while explaining some complex aspects of the subject. Highly recommend!!
From Nisha
Lockdown hasn’t been easy and my daughter needed some help especially as she was in her second year for A levels. I was very fortunate to find Karen who has been outstanding right from the first lesson. Karen is organised and structures her lessons very well wasting no time during the lesson. My daughter’s confidence has grown and the results are showing in her grades. We feel truly blessed to have found Karen and cannot recommend her enough. My only regret is I didn’t find her sooner.
From Miranda
Karen is an absolutely wonderful tutor to work with. I have worked with Karen for my introductory modules at university (equivalent to A-Level in depth and understanding) for Accounting and Economics. I tend to be a student able to get an A grade, but need that extra bit of assistance and confidence to get there. Rather than diving straight in to the more difficult aspects early on, she has been helpful in establishing the foundations of the subject and building up to the more complex ideas. She has tested my understanding by working through example scenarios and using MCQ’s/ essay questions. Online teaching has contributed to my understanding even with the difficulties that COVID poses, due to how well organised and resourceful Karen is. Throughout the teaching process, Karen has been incredibly kind, patient and understanding. I would highly recommend her.
From Karen
An enormous Thankyou Karen for all your continued support, and help enabling our son to understand areas other tutors had failed to do. Your dedication to your students is amazing. We still cannot believe our luck that we found you. Thankyou so much. Kind regards Karen & Henry
From vanessa
I've arranged A1 weekly economics tuition for my daughter. She is extremely pleased with the way Karen teaches, as she explains very clearly and tailors the lessons to her needs. This has helped her boost her confidence and she doesn't hesitate to contact her if she has any questions re an assignment or homework.
