Our son was struggling with certain elements of the maths GCSE course and we were looking for someone to help us with home tutoring. It became apparent that Judy was an excellent choice. She is clearly experienced in one-to-one tutoring and was able to tailor her teaching to the areas where he struggled. She knew his specific exam board and had experience in marking GCSE maths papers.
Judy created a relatively strict teaching environment that suited our son and ensured that she held his attention through each session. They quickly developed a good rapport and as a result the sessions were productive. In addition, she ensured that she set home work that ran in parallel with what our son was studying at school at the time.
She was always punctual but also flexible when, occasionally, other arrangements meant we had to change times of the session.
In the run up to the exam Judy set a number of papers in preparation and this was helpful. Finally, in support of our opinion that Judy is an excellent choice as a tutor, our son did better than expected in his maths GCSE and she lifted his grade above and beyond what was anticipated before she joined us.
We’d highly recommend Judy as a maths tutor.
Thank you, Michael, for such a positive response.
I did work your son very hard and, on occasions, had to make him concentrate! - which he did!! He worked very hard to achieve the grade he got, so credit goes to him for the amount of effort he put in.
It was a pleasure teaching him and I hope he does well as I know he was planning on doing A'Level maths.
I wish him all the best for whatever his plans are for the future.

Judy made a real difference to our daughters Maths GCSE. When she started tutoring our daughter at the start of year 11, the predicted grade was a 5. 9 months of tutoring and coaching and our daughter gained a 7, with just a couple of marks off an 8.
Timely, professional, helpful and a deep understanding of the subject.
Would highly recommend!
Thank you, Jeff, for such a lovely review.
It was a great pleasure helping your daughter and, credit where credit is due, I worked her very hard, and she responded so well, working very hard herself doing lots of work outside our lessons and asking lots of questions when she needed help to understand.
She thoroughly deserved the grade she attained. Well done, I am so pleased for her.
From Ally
Extremely professional and able to adapt to individual needs at a syeafy pace that works well for my son
I am glad your son managed to get a grade at this subject he disliked so much. I did work him hard and am sorry he did not get a better grade. Perhaps when he is ready, he will try again! I will gladly teach him again if he wants to resit in the future.
From DIane

Your daughter is a pleasure to teach. I am sure she will do well.

We were looking for a tutor to do one to one with our son Jake in the subject of Maths, in our search we found Judith who impressed myself and wife but more importantly Jake. Jake would come home and had nothing but praise for the way Judith explained everything in depth. If you are looking to get your son or daughter to get the result you need Judith will certainly do that for you. Thankyou Mark,Nicola&Jake
Thank you for you kind comments. Jake was a joy to teach and he worked really hard to succeed. His effort was all the more outstanding as he had not had any maths lessons for nearly 18 months. He achieved a fantastic grade and I am sure he will do well in anything he sets out to do in the future. Thank you once again. Judy.
From Mary
Judith is an excellent tutor. Our son has more confidence in class. She is very kind, knowledgeable and professional. She took the time to identify missing skills that our child needed for his current level and has worked to bring his knowledge level to where it needed to be for him to be successful.
Thank you for your kind comments. It is a pleasure teaching your son he responds very well to the teaching I do with him.
From Alison
Thank you so much Judy! You not only gave me the confidence to persevere with maths but to achieve a GCSE at Higher level! You allowed me to ask questions, recall past knowledge and apply it in a visual context that suited my learning style. Most of all though… you were friendly, enthusiastic and supportive in helping me to succeed in my goal! Best wishes, Ally.
Ally, you were a pleasure to teach. You stuck with it, worked hard and worked with me. You justly deserve the grade C you achieved. I really enjoyed teaching you. I hope you now go on to do all you want to do. Well done.
From Debbie
I would recommend Judith whole heartedly. She is reliable, always punctual and very friendly. My daughter is very pleased with her teaching approach and is beginning to gain some confidence in her maths abilities. Judith takes things at my daughter's pace and is always very patient with her. Money well spent in my opinion.
Debbie's daughter is a delight to teach. She is willing to ask when she does not understand and always attempts the work I set her each week. Her confidence is growing so she should pass her exam this summer. Debbie's daughter got her much wanted grade C last summer. She did very well as I worked her very hard. Congratulations.
