Julia has been working with my 17 year old daughter on her English literature studies. Julia has approached topics from new and often insightful perspectives, which has challenged my daughter’s understanding and really assisted in her own interpretations and analysis. My daughter has found her help invaluable and I highly recommend her.
Thanks Sarah, lovely to teach your children. And great to see things coming together!
From Sally
Julia worked with my daughter to develop her confidence as she went into her A levels and help her develop study skills around the subject. My daughter enjoyed the sessions and found them a useful supplement to her school lessons. Thank you Julia.
From Katie
My daughter is very happy with the style and content of the sessions and feels she has learnt more in a few sessions than in several terms at school.
From Harriet
Enthusiastic, encouraging, confidence building and knowledgeable teacher able to provide targeted help for the tricky A level music paper.
Thanks, so much. Absolute pleasure to teach your son and meet you both. Best wishes - Julia
From Deborah
We have only had one lesson but are comfortable we have made the right choice of no tutor for engkit Language A level.
From Pippa
Julia is extremely easy to get along with and after the very first music A Level lesson my daughter had she immediately said that she felt so much better about what she needed to revise and specifically how to format her answers. Ab Fab and very flexible on lesson times too!
Thanks so much. I’m lucky she is so much fun to teach and so quick to pick things up… !

From Amelia
My daughter had her first session with Julia last week - studying at A Level - she was originally planning to go every other week but she found it so helpful and enjoyable that she is going to go every week. She loved Julia's style and approach and is feeling really confident that she will make great progress with Julia's support.
Thanks Amelia! It’s a pleasure to teach you…
From Katrina
Very likeable, knowlegable and feel confident she will produce the desired results.
From Maree
Julia was just a fabulous tutor for my A level daughter. Her enthusiasm, and desire to extend my daughter was first class. She spent extra time always sending more feedback, resources, tips, for her English Lit exam. We were just so thrilled to have found her and would have no problems recommending her to others. Thank you Amy and Maree

From George
My son George has been seeing Julia since September for help with his GCSE English. He is really enjoying his tutorials and is finding them very beneficial. Julia's enthusiasm is infectious and she connects very well with George. We have been delighted to find Julia and would not hesitate in recommending her.
From Ish
Hi Julia, Thank you very much for helping Sarah with English tutoring. She thoroughly enjoyed the sessions. The way you presented were 'such fun' and made her realise that she could do it. She is now thinking that she may continue with English next year if her grade is good and you are availabe to tutor, so fingers crossed keep some diary space for us! Thank you again… You are brill!
From Mara
Julia has helped me a lot preparing for the IELTS admission test. She identified quickly what my weaknesses were and hence which areas to work on most. The homework she gave me was always checked and assessed thoroughly by her, so that she could give me many useful tips for improvement which I tried to follow as best as I could. I felt that every lesson with Julia was a progress. No wonder why I was looking forward to every single lesson with her! Competent, organised and moreover friendly and with a good sense of humour, I would definitely recommend Julia to anyone who needs help with English!
From Gary
Julia was excellent. Very focussed and worked well with my 16 year-old son. He was very pleased and her support and tutoring made a big difference in his understanding of the material.
From Tina
Julia is a truly inpirational tutor, she has brilliant communication skills and her enthuiasm and passion for her subjects cannot fail to encourage the students to want to learn. My daughter has learned so much in a short time, the difference Julias has made to her confidence is incredible. Sophie actually came home smiling from her GCSE this week, which she had been dreading,and said she felt in control.Regardless of results that alone made the tutoring worthwhile Tina.
From Paul
Although we didn't take up Julia's offer as our daughter's school came up with a solution that was more practical for us, I would still highly recommend her from the initial communication that we shared. Julia's communication was excellent & she really went out of her way to offer a flexible solution that would suit all parties involved. If the school had not come up with a better option for us we would have definitely engaged Julia.

From Sharon
Our bright 11 year old son's written work was letting him down so we sought a tutor. We were overjoyed to find Julia as she is incredibly inspiring and quite remarkable in the way she is able to tailor her approach to our son's learning style. She has a warm animated personality and just radiates energy! Her lessons are so dynamic as she chooses topics that are totally enthralling and stretching to our son, making learning most enjoyable for him and he loves to spend time with her. She relates subject matter in many different medium in a way that makes English relevant and interesting. Permanent learning is much faster when this approach is taken. We are so pleased to have found her.

From Tassie
Julia was of great help. She gave straight forward advice that greatly improved the essay I was writing and built up my confidence in writing academic assignments in general.
I am very grateful ;)
From Mike
A breath of fresh air! My child's previous piano treacher, while clearly dedicated to his muical improvement did nothing to really find,nurture or even stimulate his talent. Feedback was always positive but understated and infrequent. When we found Julia Joshua was reluctant to make the change to a new teacher.as most children (and perhaps grown ups!) fear change! From the first moment Joshua met Julia his musical senses have been stimulated. Her obvious passion for everything musical is very apparent.and the way the she can connect with the imagination and musical thought processes of a 9 year old has astounded us. She has been instrumental in finding new material for Joshua to play along with examination pieces for him to get the grades he deserves. I have no doubt that her dedication will be constant and that she will share Joshuas joy when he does achieve his musical goals. That said Julias musical abilities clearly go way beyond those of a promising youngster and her career as a music lecturer is testament to the fact that her passion is for bringing out the musical best of every student she takes under her wing. I would recommend her to everyone without reservation.
From Joseph
Enthusiastic, extremely knowledgable and friendly
From Fiona
Julia is an inspiring teacher. My daughter absolutely loves her lessons with her and after just 2 sessions the creativity that has been sparked is phenomenal. As a parent, I find Julia delightful, highly knowledgeable and I feel extremely lucky to have found someone that has put the fun back into English. We can't wait for our next lesson!
