Wendy has been working with our 17 year old son for over 12 months. Her patient, calm approach helped him pass his biology Nat 5, having failed it first time round and is now assisting him with his Human biology Higher. We have no doubt he would not have the potential to pass without Wendy's help and assistance.
From Allyson
Ms Wendy provided tutoring to my son in the lead up to his National 5 Chemistry exams. Wendy is an extremely professional, well organised individual who was always well prepared for the sessions. My son found Wendy to be extremely approachable, and she was able to explain the concepts he did not understand fully and identify any gaps in his knowledge. As a result of this, his confidence grew and he began to thoroughly enjoy the subject. Wendy also provided very good exam preparation in the lead up to his prelim exam and the National 5. As a result, he achieved a high A grade in his prelim (National 5 results awaited).
I would thoroughly recommend Wendy and we are hoping to engage her services for the Higher exam.
From Lisa
Wendy has been absolutely fantastic as a tutor for my daughter who has just sat chemistry higher. About 2 weeks ago I had a daughter in tears who wanted to drop out of the exam this year and repeat the year, having struggled with the fast pace in the class. After her first session with Wendy she was already much happier, and her confidence increased dramatically. Exam sat and fingers crossed! Very highly recommended.
From Richard
My girls really enjoyed attending science classes with Ms (Wendy) and enthused about their sessions with her afterwards. Wendy clearly prepared for the sessions, asking in advance as to the girls' current school topics and the session worked off that, proving both relevant to my daughters, but also providing scope and context additional to the standard school material.
From Stephen
Wendy has been an outstandingly good tutor. Our daughter went from a borderline pass in her prelims to an A in her National 5s. Just as importantly, Wendy made her enjoy Chemistry once again. I would have no hesitation at all in recommending Wendy as she has been a very positive influence on our daughter.
From Lynne
We have only had one session with Wendy so far, but we found her very pleasant and easy to engage with and our daughter felt very comfortable with her
From Laura
I couldn't praise Wendy highly enough.With her help my son Matthew achieved an A for his Higher Chemistry.Prior to seeing Wendy his confidence was a bit low after failing a NAB.She was great at pinpointing his weaknesses and focusing on the areas needing work.Thanks again Wendy!
From William
My daughter needed a C grade in a science subject iat GCSE n order to be able to study for a teacher training degree. Under a lot of time pressure, Wendy managed to give her 12 hours tutoring. My daughter then acxhieved an A grade in Biology!! Excellent!!
From Andrea
We have been very pleased with the tutoring arrangement so far. In just a few weeks my daughter is reporting increased confidence and understanding and feels able to engage and ask questions to support learning. Wendy is well prepared for each session and explains things well, going over areas that may be more challenging as well as revisiting prior topics to ensure these are being embedded. Thank you!
From Michael
Professional, Reliable, Thank You, Wendy for getting my daughter her Higher Chemistry, We were very pleased at the outcome.
From Rena
Wendy is a superb teacher. She always has material prepared with plenty of examples and experiments. Being a teacher, she has an excellent grasp of the new curriculum, providing sources which demonstrate the different levels and stages.
My daughter Clare, is in S2 and keen to become a vet. However, her S1 science teacher was disappointing and so to avoid Clare becoming negative about science I enlisted Wendy to make it interesting for her and bring it to life. Wendy has certainly succeeded in capturing Clares interest as she loves science now. I plan to continue with these lessons for Clare throughout her secondary education.
I would recommend Wendy to anyone looking for help with science.
From Alasdair
Wendy did a 1st class job of tutoring and preparing my daughter for both her chemistry and biology exams, being thorough and relatable was a large part of the value added but also the fact that Wendy still shows a real interest and has asked to be kept up to date with the exam results shows her professionalism. I would recomend Wendy 100% for both biology & chemistry
From Millward
So very grateful to Wendy who went out of her way to fit my daughter in for some tuition during the Easter Holidays. I wish I'd found her earlier as she has done a great job on the limited time we had. I can honestly say if you're looking for someone to tutor your child I'd recommend Wendy without a moments hesitation. Thank you Wendy for your help with Ellie.
From David
Wendy is an excellent tutor and I would have no hesitation in recommending her. Her attitude is professional and she is very positive in her approach to tutoring.
From Jenny
I am pleased at how personable and extremely professional you are. You have connected with Jasmin which is very important and has most definitely boosted her confidence in her approach to the subject matter of Chemistry and exam technique. Once mutual, we would like to continue with the tutoring for Jasmin until the end of 5th form and into 6th preparing for final exams. Many thanks for everything.
Warm regards, Jenny SenGupta
From Sue
Wendy has helped my daughter regain confidence in her own abilities. She discusses with her what aspects of the higher sylabus she wants support with and then explains in such a way that helps Ellie make sense of things. Wendy is well prepared and organised.
From Emma
My daughter's confidence in her ability to understand Chemistry has been restored in just a few weeks of tuition with Wendy.
Can't recommend her highly enough!
From Lesley
Very pleased as my daughter is keen to go and actually said she enjoyed it! That is great praise from someone who "hates" school! Wendy's approach and personality is excellent and already has boosted my daughter's self esteem.
From david
Elise found Wendy to be reliable and helped her greatly gain confidence in chosen subjects. Recommended highly.
From Mercedes
Wendy is an excellent tutor! She helped me so much while I was preparing for my prelim. I wish I could spend more time with her but I got a good grade and I am satisfied with it. I highly reccomend her, if you are looking for someone who can give you an understandable explanation and makes you feel comfortable. Thank you Wendy!
You are very welcome. I am so glad you found your sessions helpful
