“Just do it. Don’t hesitate – get Kate’s help! My son was struggling with a range of understanding for his GCSE English, and Kate went above and beyond to support him across all aspects of the syllabus, and helped him obtain a super grade – he would not have got this without her superb support and kind knowledgeable manner. She even went through the whole of A Christmas Carol with him over a half term -If you have any doubts about engaging Kate, shun them and employ her to help your child gain confidence and concise knowledge going into those exams. Thanks Kate I can’t recommend you enough!”

“Kate has been fantastic with my daughter in helping her pass her English Language GCSE.
[My daughter] really struggles in the traditional classroom setting and Kate was able to meet [her] at her level and help her understand the content and what was needed to gain a pass.
Kate only worked with [my daughter] for a short period of time in which she made a massive impact and turned things around for [her] who had failed English the year before.
Thanks to Kate [my daughter] now has enough qualifications to move forward and do a level 3 BTECH.
I would highly recommend her tuition.”

She really champions them, and I think that connection she makes with young people is what complements her knowledge well.”

My son was really struggling with his GCSE Language and Literature, and Kate managed to boost his confidence and motivation. We went from worrying whether we would actually get him to sit the exams to him gaining a 7 and 6 respectively. A disaster averted! Our daughter is very different and needed a boost to hit the top grades in Literature A Level. She got an A and we were really happy for her. She can be a worrier, and Kate’s calm manner and clear experience with students at this level really helped her to see the wood for the trees. She’s now happily at uni.”

See moreKate tutored our daughter for English Language IGCSE when she wasn’t getting enough guidance from her school teacher. Kate helped her with detailed feedback on her tasks from school, key concepts and exam techniques. This enabled our daughter to get a top grade in a subject she had become worried about.

See moreKate worked with my daughter online during her GCSE studies. My daughter had been very unhappy in English lessons at school, was struggling with the set work in English literature and lacked confidence in answering exam-style questions. The sessions with Kate went really well they quickly built up rapport and I left them to it. I’m pleased to report that my daughter achieved a Grade 7 GCSE which stood her in good stead for A levels.

See moreDear Kate,
Thank you for your wonderful teaching. Your lessons gave [our son] clarity and confidence, which were at rock bottom after his English GCSE mock exams. In January, [he] was at lost and didn’t know how or where to start to improve his English (both Literature and Language). Your guidance with the exam structure, on how to organise his thoughts on paper and answer the exam questions, was invaluable. He didn’t think he would have been able to do the GCSE English exams without your help. As a parent, I saw how much understanding and support he received from you – and your patience, positive influence and optimism, alongside practical exam technique, made English much more accessible for him, who is not particularly inclined to humanities and writing. …Thank you SO much for your help, encouragement and awesome support! He only got these amazing grades because of you!’
