Individual tuition helps all my students to improve their predicted results, often by more than one grade. The following are extracts from letters and e-mails I have received from students and parents; the originals (and many other similar letters) can be seen in my study.

Thank you again for all you have done for Sarah. She has benefited enormously from the lessons, not only in her understanding of the A level English course but also in the way she approaches exam questions and essay writing. This will be a huge advantage to her in her other subjects too. Best of all, she has really enjoyed her lessons and always comes home bubbling with enthusiasm and new ideas. (A.R.)

I got an A in English; 100% for Antony and Cleopatra, as well as for the Alias Grace and Emma modules. So I'm really happy with my results....Thank you for all your support over the years. (T.A.)

 My English marks were as follows: Coursework 90/90, Don Juan and Hamlet 90/90, War literature 114/120. Maybe I should re-apply [to Oxford] for English! ....Thanks for all your help over the last two years. (A.M.)

I'm very pleased with my English results.... For Paper 2 [Much Ado] I got 90/90 and for Paper 3 [Hard Times] the mark was also 90/90.  (S.T.) 

I am writing to let you know that I got an A for my English Literature A level...I'm delighted with my results, thank you very much for all the help you gave me. (R.S.)

Just to let you know that I got an A in the AS poetry and drama paper ...so I'm very very happy. Thank you so much - I couldn't have done it without you. I would still love your help for this year. (J.C.)

Tim got an A for English ...He is thrilled with his results. The extra lessons were invaluable. Thanks for all your help and encouragement. (V.A.)

Thank you so much for all your help. You are the best teacher I have ever had. I feel much more confident because of you. (M.P.)

I just wanted to thank you for all your help and encouragement over the last two years. Thank you also for helping me to enjoy English again! I now look forward to studying English as part of the International Baccalaureate. (O.B.)

I'm just writing to let you know that Catherine [in spite of her dyslexia] managed to get a B in the A level papers you prepared her for. Thank you so much for all your help which made a big difference to her. (J.H.)

Just to say thanks very much for helping Danny with his English AS. Your input made a huge difference to his ability to plan and write essays. You removed the block he had, gave him method and confidence and made the exam much more manageable.  (L.B.)

Thank you so much for all your help and encouragement...As well as improving my technique, I feel that my confidence in regard to English has also grown...I know I have achieved something that makes me proud. (C.M.)

I have just got my results and would like to thank you. I am very happy and surprised to have got 96% in English Literature and 94% in English Language. (H.A.)

I'd like to thank you for being such a tremendous help to Sarah. Her essay writing skills have increased hugely ...Thank you for the patient and uncritical support and guidance. (J.M.)

I just wanted to let you know that I got an A in English [A2]!! I honestly cannot believe it!! I am literally over the moon, I am so happy and cannot thank you enough for all the support and help you gave me. It is you who helped me to achieve this grade, if it was not for you I would not have done this well. Thank you so much for everything, you are a star. (N.M.)

Just e-mailing you to tell you of my success in the English exams. I got A*s in both. Thanks for all the help. Keep in touch. (H.P.)
