CatherineFrom Maureen (5/5): Catherine has been assisting my son, Nicholas, prepare for his A level French. He has been very impressed with her thorough coaching, assistance with detailed vocabulary and grammar and feels each session is a great step forward in his learning and confidence. Maureen
Reply from: Catherine: Thank you very Maureen very kind of you much appreciated Nicholas is a brilliant student
From A Davis (/5): Ms is very professional and wonderful. My son didn't like French at all when he started the lessons with her. He loves Maths and Science but his French level was always below average. Under Ms guidance , in less than 10 weeks he not only jumped two levels at French, from level 3 to level 5, but he also started to love French and his French classes with Ms Eekhout and he considers taking his GCSE in French, which we hope for him to sit in year 9. (currently he is year 8). To be honest, this is a completely positive, fast and unexpected change for us. She also helped my son with his History homework since he didn't understand the Point, Evidence, Explanation process. Now he is very comfortable with these two subjects and we see him in his way to achieve a GCSE A* at both of them. A Davis

From Sandra (/5): Catherine is helping my son who is yr 7 scholarship class with French. I was impressed how she assessed his areas of weakness and is targeting them. This one-to-one focus is something that the classroom environment can't accommodate. He already feels more confident and is understanding French grammar a lot better. She has a great sense of fun and gives lots of support and encouragement. He is really enjoying the lessons and can already see the benefit. I would highly recommend Catherine.

From Deborah (/5): My daughter was lucky enough to have one session back in June with Catherine. She is an excellent and highly qualified teacher and in great demand. It's probably because of this that we were unable to continue with regular sessions as our shedules weren't compatible. My daughter doesn't finish school most days until 6 pm and Catherine was only able to offer a Tuesday evening slot. If you are able to plan ahead, I would highly recommend Catherine and book her in early before the term starts…

From Noura (/5): Catherine has a teaching background and her lessons with my daughter have been thorough, informative and professional. She has given her so much background and extra materials to place history study in a wider and motivating context. I would not hesitate to recommend her to other aspiring A' level students.

From Stella (/5): Catherine is an exceptional tutor who has been able to engage and enthuse a previously demotivated 17 year old who had previously struggled to get any enjoyment or interest out of her AS/A level course. I would give her my full recommendation.
From Susan (/5): Catherine is an excellent tutor. She is reliable and extremely conscientious. My son actually enjoys her lessons (which in itself is a major step forward!). She seems to spend a lot of time preparing her lessons and brings a variety of visual aids each time she comes. How much is being retained?? We won't know until after the exams - but one thing I'm sure of is that if the answer to that question is "very little" - it is certainly not Catherine's fault - she has tried her very best!
