Aileen is currently tutoring my son in preparation for his upcoming Higher English exam. He has described Aileen as being very supportive, enthusiastic and well prepared. As a parent we have found Aileen to be very responsive to any communications and feel that her friendly nature has enabled her to build up a good rapport with my son whereby he actually enjoys his lessons with her, which in itself is quite an achievement. My son feels that he is benefiting from his tutoring with Aileen and as a result is feeling more confident in his abilities.
Thank you so much for such lovely feedback, Una! S is really coming into his own and it's a joy to help him towards his goals this year :)

From Nathalie
Aileen is a very professional tutor who listens to her students' needs and is extremely friendly, which is a big bonus. In my case, she was very responsive and I really appreciated her ability to adapt. We worked both face-to-face and online and in both cases her methodology was designed to help me improve my skills. I'd definitely recommend Aileen as an English tutor.
Merci beaucoup, Nathalie! It was a real joy to meet you on your trip to Edinburgh — and to be continuing our work together online :)

Aileen is a very friendly, enthusiastic and well organised English tutor. My 16 year old son really likes Aileen and is happy to attend tuition sessions. She is tutoring him for Higher English and so far has assisted him with writing his portfolio and revising course poems and the written exam essay. We are delighted to have found her and I would not hesitate to recommend her high quality service to anyone looking for a highly motivated, knowledgeable and approachable tutor.
