Davina's Feedback

Davina has been providing tutoring for my daughter for approximately 18 months. Davina's input helped secure a grade 7 in her English Literature, and she is now supporting her with English Language learning and revision. Davina has been reliable and flexible in offering sessions and my daughter enjoys working with her. I feel very happy to recommend her as a tutor.

Davina tutored my daughter for her GCSE English and was amazing, my daughter managed to improve by 2 grades with Davina’s help and got the result she wanted. Would highly recommend Davina

Davina has tutored my daughter for the past couple of years. From her profile which showed her experience in tutoring, she stood out for me and when she started tutoring my daughter, she did not disappoint. With her focused approach, my daughter quickly started gaining more confidence in her ability to understand texts and context. Her excellent tutoring made her feel very at ease when she went to sit her GCSE English bearing in mind this was the one subject that she was most anxious about before starting the tuition. Needless to say, she aced both the Language and Literature papers! I would not hesitate to recommend Davina.

Davina has been tutoring my son for his GCSE English for the last 3 months. He almost looks forward to each lesson and finishes each lesson feeling more and more confident.
Davina makes him feel at ease and comfortable.
I would definitely recommend Davina

My son started lessons with Davina being at a Grade 6/7 in both English subjects, but wanting to improve on that. With her help he quickly began to progress through the grades gaining an 8 in his mocks/predicted grades. Who would have known that Co-vid was round the corner, cutting short the GCSE exams and therefore making these predicted grades even more important! We are very thankful for Davina's top quality tutoring and helping our son grasp English techniques and better understand the texts he was reading.

Davina has been instrumental in getting my son's year 10/11 revision off the ground, not just in English itself but in terms of helping him understand the level of commitment required for all subjects from here on in. She has strucutured the sessions according to his needs as well as the GCSE requirements and he is already demonstrating improvement in the areas that he needs to work on. Very impressed and much appreciated. Satty.

Davina has been tutoring my son for approx 9 months now. She is very professional, and her work ethics are excellent. Davina is extremely focused, very work oriented and has a structured approach to tutoring. She has motivated my son immensely which has increased his passion in English – both language and literature.

Davina is very flexible and has also assisted my son with ad-hoc requests such as preparation of very important school speeches. Davina is always willing to provide updates after my son's session, which helps me to understand his progress. Overall, I believe Davina has made excellent progress with my son’s English and this has had a positive impact on the grades he is now expecting in his final year of GCSE’s. I would definitely recommend Davina.

Really impressed with Davina’s approach, especially in motivating a student who’d lost his confidence in English. She supported him in gaining a very strong pass in English Language: he improved two whole grades in two months with her help! She quickly assessed his needs and had a plan to fill the gaps and improve exam skills. He was reluctant to be tutored but after his first session, he felt differently. It’s great that Davina can come to our home too as this works really well for our family circumstances. Really highly recommended for GCSE students as she understands the spec and exam questions and for English Language this is what’s important to secure a good grade.

Davina have been instrumental in transforming my daughter confidence and ability with new format GCSE's over that last 2-3years. Davina is very personable and professional! Davina provided a teaching style that best suited my daughter and provided focused exercises to perform between tutoring session that complemented school work. My daughter went from grade 5/6 at the end of year 9, to achieving grade 7/8 during year 11 mocks. Thank You Davina!

Very pleased. My daughter made a lot of progress!

My son really enjoyed working with Davina and became a lot more confident with his abilities.

At the end of each lesson Davina would set homework for the following lesson, and go through the homework together.

I highly recommend Davina as a tutor.

Davina has been tutoring my son for a couple of months and I can already see a huge difference in his grades and confidence. Davina always comes well prepared and is also very flexible. I highly recommend her.
