Sheila's Feedback

Sheila is considerate and friendly. My daughter just has a few lessons with her from start, she gained much confident to believe herself capable to do better in English. Thank you very much for your patient and encouragement to her that do make a different!

Sheila has been tutoring my son for a few weeks now. He is in year 11 and had just been identified as having slow processing. Hi relationship with English was rock bottom, he hated writing and reading and had a very poor opinion of himself. He is now able to write a short story within an hour, which he is proud of. I can clearly see he is more engaged and he talks about how he can make his writing better. Sheila has quickly developed a great relationship with him and is helping him transform how he feels about himself. We highly recommend Shiela.

Sheila has in the past three weeks proved herself an excellent teacher. My 16yr old daughter requested an English tutor as she knows she is not achieving the grades she would like to get and knows she is capable of. I relayed this to Sheila and also told her that my daughter used to do a lot of creative writing throughout her childhood but stopped around the age of 13-14, and that I would love to see her find her inspiration for English again, not just improve her grades.
In only her second session Sheila had encouraged her to write a short story despite being in the middle of mocks. She has since been able to give her feedback which my daughter has listened to rather than just get disheartened as she does when I try to give feedback. I appreciate this is only early days but so far I’m very glad to see some energy/ direction injected into my daughter at such a crucial stage of her learning.

Sheila is an excellent tutor, providing great support and improving confidence through her teaching style.

Contact early. Very organised. Happy to do lessons via Skype. Familiar with Scottish higher reading materials. Professional

Sheila was an excellent higher English tutor for my daughter. We really could not have asked for a better tutor in every regard. Not only was she a first class tutor she gave my daughter so much confidence and belief in her ability and this was reflected in the A1 mark that she achieved. Sheila was also very reliable and had a great rapport with my daughter. We would highly recommend Sheila as a tutor.

Sheila is simply the best! She's a warm, kind, conscientious tutor with excellent teaching skills. She knows how to hit the nail on the head when it comes to pinpointing exactly what her student needs. Our daughter absolutely loves her and really looks forward to her lessons with Sheila. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone that needs to boost their learning skills and exam techniques.

We are very happy, my son has received a high B in his English Language GCSE, thanks to Sheila and his hard work. We engaged Shelia just after Easter, at that time my son was receiving C and D's, to work with him on line. I listened in to the first session and found Shelia amazing. She focussed on him and why he was getting these results, why he lacked motivation and a positive mindset. Within no time, she had him engaged and willing to work hard to do his best. I only wish we had found her earlier as I am positive that he would have had an A and that it would have helped in other subjects. I have no hesitation to recommend Shelia, she is exceptional. From the bottom of our hearts THANK YOU xx

We have been extremely happy with the tutoring Emma has received and have seen a big difference in her confidence in all aspects of the Nat 5 course. The standard of her course work has greatly improved and she feels so much better prepared for the forthcoming exam. Thank you Sheila and we look forward to continuing in to the Higher year!

I have used Sheila for my daughter ,my daughter has turned into a confident young girl .The school said she would maybe get a C or if she worked hard a B .But with the help of Sheila my daughter got an A , I can't thank her a enough ,she is a first class Tutor.

I arranged for my daughter to have Skype lessons with Sheila. She has found online tutorials extremely useful. Sheila is approachable, reliable and flexible. She has helped a great deal in a short time and given Katie support and confidence to tackle the higher English exam in May. We would not hesitate in recommending online tutoring with Sheila to others. Online sessions have worked very well.

Sheila has been very good and has helped Racharl a great deal in a short time.
I am delighted with the progress Rachael has made and this has given her a lot more confidence for her exams

My daughter achieved an A in her Nat 5 English exam. However in her fifth year at school her teacher, who happened to be head of the department,undermined her confidence in her own ability. This teacher who is near retirement age chose to study Burns and Shakespeare rather than any of the contemporary writers. Obviously this was her own comfort zone and allowed no consideration for her pupils preference. Her notes on these materials were inadequate and I felt that my daughter would benefit from a tutors influence. Sheila reassured my daughter that her investigative work obtained via the internet had helped point her in the right direction. She evaluated my daughters work very quickly and assisted in areas to be addressed, which was sadly lacking in the school environment. My daughters efforts and Sheila's influence resulted in my daughter achieving an A Higher English pass result at 91%.

Required English Tutor for English - My daughter had failed prelim but after tuition, gained a B - and was 2% off an A - Would highly recommend.

Sheila was very quick to respond to our urgent plea for help as my sons’ prelim grade was pretty horrific and despite the relatively short time he had with Sheila prior to his exams, his results was astounding. He received an A. Sheila is now helping him study for his Higher English. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sheila to any parent of a pupil in need of support and encouragement.

My child has come on leaps and bounds since he has been working with Sheila, I could not have hoped for a better tutor.

Thank you for your patience, understanding and all the work you put into tutoring my daughter for her higher English. As a result she achieved an A.

Shiela worked with my daughter in the last school year to prepare her for her English National 5. Shiela is extremely enthusiastic and the support she gave my daughter was invaluable, not only in her English but in helping her through the pressures of exams. Shiela is extremely personable, professional and reliable. She was always on time and often stayed on past her alloted time to finish a piece of work they were studying. My daughter and I both recommend Shiela as a tutor.

Sheila has been working with my daughter Chloe since March, and since then there has been a dramatic increase in her confidence levels. Sheila has bent over backwards to accommodate Chloe given the short time available prior to her National 5 exam. She immediately put Chloe at ease and has a lovely, friendly manner. I can't recommend Sheila highly enough and will be using her skills again next year. Sheila is very professional and her enthusiasm for the subject is plain to see. I am extremely pleased - thank you for all your help!

Emma has improved greatly with your help and now feels more confident about sitting her higher English exam Thank you very much for your help and support

In the short time that Sheila has been working with my daughter her confidence has increased dramatically. Sheila has been working with her in a number of areas to ensure that she is prepared for the forthcoming exam. Her manner is excellent and my daughter 'took' to her immediately! She has a lovely manner and personality which has allowed learning to take place. I can't recommend Sheila highly enough. She is organised and professional and her enthusiasm for the subject is infectious which is great for my daughter. This is very important when you are inviting someone in to your home to work with your child. All in all - extremely pleased - thank you!

Sheila so far has really made a difference to my higher English grade I am really pleased

Shiela is providing support to both of our sons - one at National 5 level, and the other at Higher level. She is very organised and has a wealth of knowledge and experience, which she readily shares with them. The feedback from our sons is that she very good, and that they find her teaching approach both informative and enjoyable. We would have no hesitation in recommending her to other families.

Sheila has only tutored by daughter in National 5 English for a short time but has made a significant difference. My daughter was struggling with the National 5 English so I decided to get a tutor. In the sort time Sheila has been tutoring my daughter she has managed to increase her confidence, knowledge and make her probably one of the best prepared pupils for the Prelims in her school. which she managed to pass with higher marks than a lot of her fellow class mates. I am confident that Sheila will take Aimee through her National 5 exams with great success and continue their successful relationship on to higher English.

Fantastic tutor has restored my sons confidence In his ability in english

My son has now had three lessons with Sheila and she has certainly built up his confidence with close reading. She is helping him with the new National 5 curriculum for excellence qualification in English. Hopefully with Sheila's guidance he can achieve a top grade. On a personal note, Sheila is a very bright, warm and supportive person, all very important qualities whilst tutoring a 15 year old boy. Hopefully Sheila can continue to tutor our son all the way through to his higher English. I would certainly have no hesitation in giving her a recommendation.

Sheila has been fantastic she has made a big impression with us and with our daughter. She is very proffesional and the sessions have been informative, my daughter is totally at ease and I think Sheila will help build her confidence moving forward.

Sheila is a very friendly, reliable and enthusiastic tutor. Highly recommended.

Really great, pleasant tutor who has made my son feel at ease. I have seen a big difference already in my sons confidence and learning. Just wished I had thought about getting Sheila earlier! My son has had 3sessions so far and has a much more structured approach to his learning, thanks to Sheila x

Great tutor and really knows how to motivate and encourage. My son thrives and feels more confident after tutoring sessions with Sheila plus is coming on leaps and bounds with his work.
I would thoroughly recommend Sheila for help and tutoring.

Since Sheila has started tutoring our son, his Maths and English have improved dramatically, as well as his confidence.
Excellent tutor we recommend her highly.

Sheila is the first tutor I have used from this web site. My son really likes her and looks forward to working with her every week.She has shown him new techniques that he already feels will help him with his higher English.She is very professional and makes him feel relaxed and at ease.I would recommend her to friends and family.

My daughter enjoys her sessions with Sheila advising that she likes to one-to-one time that she would not normally get in class. Sheila has provided really good learning material and study techniques which we're hopeful will really benefit her during her exams.

Sheila is a very good tutor and always is enthusiastic and ready to work!
