Penny's Feedback

Fantastically prepared lessons, immense knowledge of underlying texts to A-levels, inspiring discussions and solid exam-board view on what achieves the grades. Absolutely thanking our lucky stars we found her. Our son is very impressed.

Penny was very down to earth and had organised preparations prior to every session giving a good idea of the tasks before hand and helping me to prepare properly. Through Penny's help I gained more confident in my own abilities and even helping with my plans for uni reading through my personal statement

Penny is an excellent tutor.

My son is studying A Level English Literature , Penny has the patience and ability to inspire students to learn and do their best.

I could not have found a better tutor for my son resisting GCSE English after a difficult year in school due to COVID. Penny is fully upto dated with different exam board requirements and instantly connected with my son. My son's confidence has greatly increased in a short period of time he has worked with Penny as has his English. I would absolutly reccomeded Penny to anyone in need of English tuition

Our daughter Charlotte had a few revision sessions with Penny before her end of year exams for A level English literature. Charlotte really enjoyed the lessons and found them very useful particularly the work they did on text analysis & essay structure. Penny has really helped her confidence in the subject.

Penny, has been excellent, helping my ill daughter prepare for her A Level. Her kind considered approach has increased our daughter's confidence immensely and would highly recommend her.

Penny has made all the difference for our son. He has been struggling for years to find strategies to learn. He has now had a couple of weeks of sessions with her and his confidence has grown.

Penny is excellent, punctual, professional and helps my son focus in a very personalised manner. My son is already happier having had Penny's guidance only after 2 sessions. Thank you Penny.

First rate, brilliant. Penny was able quickly to identify areas for focus, was encouraging, positive and approachable.

Penny has been very reliable, flexible and tailored her sessions to provide effective support where needed. She has developed a good rapport with our son, and his grades have improved significantly since starting sessions with Penny.

Yes, Penny is helping our daughter. She is meeting her needs right where she is at. Challenging her and yet not overwhelming. Thanks Penny.

Penny has been fantastic in supporting my son with his GCSE English. She has an outstanding knowledge of the curriculum and knows exactly what is required to achieve . Penny always come well prepared for every lesson,which maximises the teaching time. My son really enjoys his lessons with Penny, as she increased his self confidence and belief that he can do it! Thank you very much Penny! Kate - Guildford.

Penny is a highly experienced tutor and is exactly what our daughter requires at this time in preparation for secondary school exams. Penny is very professional and has built a strong rapport with my daughter and is extremely well prepared and provides a very structured lesson during the hour they spend together. My daughter's confidence has grown and she has made good progress already in only a few weeks of tuition.

So far great. After only a few sessions Dan has grown in confidence and actually looks forward to the lessons! Penny is polite and punctual and seems to make English lessons enjoyable for a 14 year old boy. Hopefully this will then lead to better results.

Penny has been very kind, considerate and supportive to my daughter over the last 3 months in providing her with some outstanding confidence boosting advice.

Thank you for four sessions this Easter holidays which have inspired Ellie and given her a focus for her IGCSE English revision. Thank you for helping her to get her confidence back after her illness and absence from school. Ellie's feedback to me was that the sessions were constructive and elucidating and really helped her to understand certain aspects of the two texts covered. She said you were kind, positive and encouraging and we certainly found you to be professional in your approach, punctual and very easy to talk to. We will certainly recommend you to anyone…

Penny is a really wonderful tutor. After the first trial session my daughter said "She's lovely!". Penny is extremely professional yet at the same time very relaxed and very easy to get on with. My daughter feels relaxed and confident with her and is quickly gaining in confidence, whereas before she was nervous about getting things wrong. Penny just seems to know how to get a student to enjoy the subject which is so important. We are so thrilled to have found Penny and my daughter looks forward to her sessions. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Penny.

My daughter has had 3 sessions with Penny so far. Penny is well organised and has communicated with my daughter prior to each session about what she can prepare in advance and what they will cover. She has been prompt for sessions and not a minute is wasted. She has helped with essay planning and structure as well as content. We are very happy so far.

Very organised, knowledgeable and enthusiastic.

Penny is an excellent tutor who goes out of her way to make the subject interesting and appropriate to her pupil's level of understanding as well as showing them what they need to do to improve .
I thoroughly recommend her as a tutor .

Penny is excellent!. She is extremely friendly, organised and knowledgeable. My son has only seen her two times and already she has improved his ability to structure an essay and given him some valuable tips on grammar. Penny has identified exactly what my son needs to focus on to raise his exam grades and the passion she has for her subject means my son is keen to learn.

We only saw Penny a couple of times but we were really pleased with her approach and with the help that she gave. Penny turned up on time and had a dedicated plan for each session that was efficient and useful and definitely worthwhile.

Penny has provided us with an independent review of our daughter’s current GCSE English level and has also advised us on the best way to delicately improve the ongoing dispute that we have been having with the school. Her wealth of knowledge has been invaluable to us.
Our daughter is also enjoying being tutored by Penny and, although it is still very early days, we are hoping her guidance and experience will help her obtain the grades that she working hard to achieve.

We have only had two sessions so far before being asked for this feedback but I can already say that Penny is amazing. Penny is highly organised, knows exactly what is required to be done to bring up my daughters A level grades. She has also helped her with her coursework as well as coaching for the exams. My daughter told me she learned more in one lesson with Penny than she had in a term at school.

Penny is currently helping my two daughters both of whom have different abilities in this subject, it has been interesting to see how she has approached teaching them in a way that helps them individually. She has helped to re-ignite an interest in one who dreaded English lessons so much so that I no longer have to nag her to read a book and has helped to broaden my other daughter's choice of literature and help to develop her love for the subject.
