Kathryn's Feedback

From Rebecca

I am very grateful to have Ms Kathryn teaching my daughter who is now in Year 10. Right before the tuition, she emailed me asking about the background of my daughter so that she can tailor-make materials for my daughter. After the first lesson, my daughter told me that Ms Kathryn is one of the best teachers she's ever had and immediately did the task assigned by Ms Kathryn. My daughter now has more confidence in English and this is really due to the effort of Ms Kathryn.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I enjoy working with Anabelle; she is keen to improve her work and very receptive to the advice and support being provided. I am sure she will continue to make pleasing progress over the months ahead.

From Kellie

Kathryn has been extremely patient and seems to be getting the best out of my son so far. I am very pleased with the progress that has been made in just two lessons

From Lucas

Good tutor for some; however, the way she charges her students is not suitable for us as she states:

“Payment is £30 per session. If ‘the student’ is unable to attend any session, I will try to re-arrange the lesson for another mutually convenient time. If this is not possible the full fee will be due.”

This is incompatible as my child does not want to have tutoring during the term time holidays.
Thank you,
Kang

I would like to point out that this client has given a 4 star review, based on my cancellation policy, not on the standard of tuition delivered. In fact, I only taught this student for one lesson before this comment was posted.

My online tuition usually consists of one lesson per week during term-time. I am also happy to provide additional lessons and lessons outside of term-time, when specifically requested. The cancellation policy therefore refers to any term-time lessons cancelled at late notice, which cannot be re-arranged. I believe this is a standard cancellation policy which most private tutors have in place with their students.
I always offer to re-arrange lessons that are cancelled at late notice to a mutually convenient time. I appreciate that unforeseen circumstances do arise from time to time and, therefore, make every effort to re-arrange lessons in order to ensure that tutees still receive tuition for the payment made and to maintain continuity of learning.This has never previously caused any problems with students or parents. Indeed, parents have always been very appreciative of my willingness to re-arrange lessons for them in this way.

This client did not contact me to seek clarification on this matter before posting his comment online. Had he done so, this misunderstanding could have easily been resolved.

From Ayshea

Kathryn, quickly assessed my son and made him feel at ease. He is enjoying the sessions, which are always well prepared and tailored to his needs. I am sure these sessions will have a big impact long term when he takes his GCSE.

From Mary

Kathryn is an excellent tutor who does her best to accommodate the needs of the child. She is up to date with the current Specifications in English Language /Literature and has pre prepared resources available each lesson. Without her help my son would have really struggled to pass his GCSE English and would have needed to re-take at the sixth form. Luckily he secured good passes in both. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a tutor.

From Lorna

Kathryn is an excellent tutor and she is good at her work. I could not of picked a better person to teach extra English for my son. Kathryn had so much patience for him and that helped him gain higher marks at college. I highly recommend Kathryn.

Thank you for your positive comments. Harvey is keen to improve his work and listens carefully to advice and guidance given. I am sure he will continue to improve his writing skills over the coming months - in terms of planning and structuring responses effectively, improving the quality of his writing by using a range of language techniques and improving the technical accuracy of his work.

From Sarah

Kathryn has really helped my son improve with his GCSE English. She understands the curriculum and takes the time to Keep up to date with what he is doing at school and prepares appropriate lessons and homework based on this. My son finds the tuition interesting and useful and his teachers have commented that his work is improving. I would highly recommend Kathryn as a tutor.

Thank you for the positive feedback! Alex is keen to improve and responds well to constructive criticism. As a result, I am sure he will continue to make good progress.

From Diane

Kathryn was fantastic with my daughter - gentle, interedted and built up her confidence in her own abilities. My daughter attended weekly for her final year before her GCSE. Kathryn gave her the tools and information required for the exam.

My daughter use of English in every day life has improved and shown a greater maturity and understanding over this past year since she has been attending Kathryns lessons. Resulrs wise she obtained a B in English Language which without Kathryns lessons, I feel she would have obtained a D at best.

I would definately recommend Kathryn to anyone thinking about extra tutoring.

Thanks for the positive feedback. Rebecca was a delight to teach. I am really pleased with her result, which is thoroughly deserved!
