We approached Wendy after reading wonderful testimonials on how she has supported A’Level students to increase their grades. 2 lessons in and Wendy is brilliant! My daughter finds that she explains things very well and gives lots of top tips on what the examiner is looking for. So pleased we found Wendy!
Thank you, Justine. It’s a pleasure to work with your daughter and for us to identify the areas she needs targetted help with together. I am really enjoying my work with your daughter.
From Claudia
We have, and still are, enjoying Wendy’s tutoring sessions. She has brought my daughter’s knowledge and confidence on so much, and we feel as though she’ll be heading back to school for her final year in the knowledge that she CAN do this and can even excel if she’s willing to putting some serious effort for Wendy. Which she really hopes to do.
It has been a real pleasure getting to know your daughter and help her to realise that she is a great geographer. I am seeing her confidence bloom and to be honest all we need to work on is exam technique and ensuring all revision notes are secure for year 12 and ongoing into year 13. Your daughter is fun to work with. Thank you.
From sadie
I began working with Wendy in December during year 13 where i was currently working at roughly a grade C/D in A-Level geography doing the edexcel course. I worked with Wendy up to my last exam in mid june and i think she made a huge difference, she was amazing, she was clear, thorough and talked me through everything really well. I would suggest to her to week before what i wanted to go over in the following session e.g. a topic or enquiry question and she would gather her own resources to go through with me during the session in which i would take notes from. She would talk through everything very clearly and answer all my questions. She explained things better than any teacher ever had done for me and i came away from those 6 months understanding more than i’d understood over the whole of my A-Level course, it was broken down for me and if i still didn’t understand we would go over it again and again until i got it. Closer to the exams we began going through practice questions and exam papers together. She taught me the perfect way to answer questions, how to structure my answers and general themes to talk about in every essay. I came out with a B grade overall with only a few marks off an A, i am so pleased and couldn’t have done it without her. I would 100% recommend.
Sadie - it was an absolute pleasure to work with you and see your confidence blossom. You made it really easy for me by always knowing exactly what you needed to cover (you knew your weak points and we could address them together). I enjoyed every lesson and debating the essay topics with you. Well done for your hard work and well deserved result. Wendy
From Polly
Brilliant, empathetic tutor, who transformed my daughter's performance in A Level Geography in just 9 months. An A grade result last week, having been on track for a C 12 months ago. Thank you, Wendy!
Thank you. It was wonderful to work with your daughter. She was highly organised and clear about what was needed and diligent about preparing as many 12 and 20 mark essays as possible. I enjoyed every one of our lessons as we debated the topics. This great A level result was so well deserved. Congratulations
From Harriet
I hardly ever write reviews but I just had to write one for Wendy. We found Wendy after our son had sat the first part of his Geography A level at the end of year 12. He didn't do very well which was a shock given school had always given him glowing reports. Wendy quickly found out that he had the knowledge but just didn't know how to answer the questions in a way that would hit the mark scheme. We have just received the actual A level results and our son achieved a high A* and is now into his first choice University. I don't believe this would have been possible without Wendy and I think you would be hard pressed to find a better tutor who knows how the examination boards work. Thank you Wendy - you were worth every penny.
Thank you. It was an absolute pleasure to work with your son. His superb knowledge of the A Level content made it a very easy job. We enjoyed pulling apart the essay questions and looking at them from different angles. I am so happy that your son got the very high grade that he deserved. Wendy
From James
I can only leave brilliant feedback on Wendy. She helped my daughter with a project and her feedback was invaluable. I highly recommend her.
Thank you James, It was a great project and very interesting to read. I really enjoyed working with your lovely daughter who was so keen to find ways to improve.
From Gillian

Thanks for your feedback. Your daughter was a pleasure to work with in her exam preparation.
From Victoria
In a short space of time, Wendy has had a huge impact on positively developing our daughter’s ability to exam style questions. Wendy has developed an excellent working relationship and genuinely cares about making a difference. Thank you, Wendy!
If you are looking for an outstanding teacher, choose Wendy. Not only does she produce bespoke lessons, she has developed a close working relationship with our daughter.
It has been an absolute pleasure to work with your lovely daughter and see her confidence grow. Lovely too that I can still work with her on her A level geography. X

From Jemima
Brilliant, kind, fun and supportive! When I first started with Wendy I was working at a low C grade with the hope of coming out with a low B, but now post results day I have come out A grade with it being 4 marks off an A*. Wendy was the best and most helpful tutor I could of asked for and could not recommend her enough. She was patient with me when I struggled and would be happy to explain things again and again in different ways until I got it. She was also very caring and cared about me whilst working through the past two years and always was so understanding with the pressure and never got mad or annoyed if work had not been done. The lessons where always enjoyable and always left feeling more confident and happy. Her care and willingness to support me was brilliant and I learnt so much from her. I cannot recommend her enough!
Thank you for your kind words. I am so proud if what YOU achieved over this very difficult 2 years for A Level students. Yes it was fun, the discussions about our world were always stimulating and it was lovely to see you gaining confidence. Congratulations on this wonderful result. Update: so happy that a re-mark took you to A * - this is a brilliant achievement.
From Mohammed
Wendy was excellent with my daughter and we are looking forward to more lessons with her.
I feel privileged to be able tow work with your daughter - I love her enthusiasm for geography.
From Hazel
Wendy is a fantastic tutor: skilled, knowledgeable, pragmatic, warm and encouraging. Wendy helped my son to achieve the A level in Geography that he needed to go his first choice uni (Sheffield), not only this, that hour a week lifted his grades in Psychology and Politics. Wendy's experience and knowledge of the uni application system was an additional support which we are very grateful for. Thank you so much Wendy, Hazel (& Sam)
It was a real pleasure to work with Sam and see him flourish. Thank you, too, for your hospitality in the pre - lockdown days of real tutoring! I was so pleased Sam got to the university of his choice and the course he wanted. Best wishes - Wendyx
From Lisa
Wendy was really helpful to my son William when he needed help with structuring his essays and with what content he should include etc. Very quick to respond to email and helpful to accommodate our timings.
From Lucy
It is early days yet but my daughter is starting an A level geography course with Wendy. My daughter tells me the lessons are interesting and informative so that has to be a good start and positive feedback from a teenager. I am happy to extend my review when we get further into the course and see the progress my daughter is making.
From Caroline
Although Wendy has only started recently tutoring my daughter she has already shown herself to be very capable and fully engaged in helping her reach her full potential. Wendy is very personable and promptly struck up a good rapport with my daughter.
From Luna
Couldn’t have had a more excellent teacher!! Thankyou Linda
From Amani
Wendy has been an absolutely fantastic tutor. She is dedicated, friendly and has a masterful understanding of Geography. She has been able to identify what needs to be worked on and acts based on this, while keeping other skills at a high level of maintenance. Her approach is personalized depending on the needs of the student and we definitely recommend her to anyone looking for Geography lessons. We enjoyed and appreciate every minute of every lesson we have had and wish her the very best in the future.
Thank you so much, Amani. It was a privilege to work with your son and see him become more confident. He should be very proud of his superb achievement in geography. It was well deserved - his dedication paid off. Thank you for your kindness and keeping me fed with lovely cake and green tea
From Nathan
Wendy is a very good tutor as she was able to turn my E into an A. She is most certainly a personal tutor as her teaching is constructed in such a way that it suits the students needs individually.
Thanks Nathan. I am proud of you for your determination and commitment to improve and that well deserved A grade!
From Vivien
Wendy is a wonderful tutor, friendly, fun and enthusiastic. Her teaching experience is second to none. She raised my 16 yr old from a predicted 4 in Geography GCSE to an actual 8! All this in just five months. We are delighted with her teaching skills, can't praise her enough. Thank you, Wendy.
Thank you Vivien. It was a pleasure to work with your daughter and see her improve and work so hard to get her wonderful grade. I am delighted for her. X
From Amita
We have been seriously impressed and privileged to have had Wendy as a Tutor for our daughter for her Geography A level.
Wendy is an experienced Teacher who actually has a lesson plan each time. This is good practice but something which not all Tutors take time to do.
Teaching towards an exam board syllabus and ensuring all the topics are covered.
Wendy’s obvious passion for the subject is infectious and I wouldn’t be surprised if she is one of the ‘inspirational’ teachers who other children too will remember long after their formal education is over.
Thank you for your kind comments. Thank you too for making me feel so welcome and more than anything thank you to Sophie for her dedication and determination to improve. It was a privilege to work with her ( and made the long journey worthwhile) and I am so very proud of her. X
From Lisa
Wendy is a fantastic tutor and my daughter really appreciates Wendy's teaching style. My daughter got a grade 8 (A*) in GCSE Geography. We are hoping that Wendy will be available to help my daughter for A level Geography.
So proud of her and all of her hard work.
From Katerina
Great tutor, always created helpful content and good case studies!
Thank you, Katherina- it was a pleasure to work with you and hear about you achieving your goal and university place.
From Jacquetta
An excellent and experienced teacher with a complete mastery of her subject
Thank you Jacquetta- it was an absolute pleasure to work and debate with Yann. I am so delighted he has got his university place after all his hard work.
From Yi Ju
From Jennifer

My daughter looks forward to Wendy’s Geography lessons as she has made it very interesting and creative we appreciate her tutoring for my daughter and look forward to the future as I know my daughter will learn so much more now
Thanks Wendy!
From THOMAS
Excellent tutor, very well prepared and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend.
I was delighted with Oliver's success. So pleased that he is doing A Level geography.
From Jolyon
Wendy taught me for around four months leading up until my year 13 A level exams. Her lessons were clear, organised, fun, and extremely helpful. The previous year I achieved an E in my As level for Geography. Within the four months of having Wendy we went through revising and preparing for the those retakes as well as all the work at A2. Despite the little time we had to prepare Wendy's brilliant lesson structure allowed us to cover everything we needed to in the time. Wendy was also there when I needed her to answer small questions outside actual lesson time. Thanks to all her help she managed to get my grade from an "E" at As level. To finally achieving an "A" at A level. I highly recommend you use her as your tutor.
I am very proud of what Jolyon achieved. The fact that he knew his weakest areas meant we could focus on these and plug any gaps. A lovely student to work with. Great
From Agata
Very efficient way of finding a tutor!
From Emma
Wendy has been a godsend for my son who has only weeks to go before his gcses. He has adhd and is not the most willing worker but she knows Geography inside out and always brings a choice of work for him. She handles him very well indeed.
Thank you for your kind words. I am enjoying working with Fred very much.
From David
My daughter is delighted with the help Wendy is giving her with Geography A2.
I am glad Katie is happy. It was lovely to work with her.
From Sophie
Wendy is a brilliant Tutor, very enthusiastic and really helps me understand geographical concepts, would defiantly recommend her!
Thank you so much Sophie. It is a real pleasure working with you.
