Perfect! My daughter was lacking in confidence in English and didn’t know how to approach her GCSE revision. Linda really helped her in putting more structure into her revision and focusing on where the marks were. This helped my daughter to concentrate on the key points she needed to draw out but also helped her to feel comfortable with the wide range of texts they could be asked about. Linda was very flexible with the lessons too - she fitted in extra sessions as we got closer to the exam and into study leave.
Linda’s guidance and kindness made English so much less stressful for my daughter and for that we are really grateful.- Thank you for your kind words. I’m so pleased your daughter benefitted from our sessions. It was a pleasure to teach her.Linda's response :
Don’t forget to let me know how she gets in.

My daughter had lessons with Linda to try to get into a grammar school and passed every English exam from the help of her. She only had lessons for a few months and her English improved drastically. Linda was given a short amount of time to work with my daughter as we weren't expecting the exams to come so early. We had long lessons and she did as much as she could to help my daughter. We are very grateful for Linda and we would recommend her to anyone who's looking for a good English tutor.
Linda has taught our three children(aged 10,8,7)in English on a daily basis for the last five months(at the moment they are homeschooled).
Linda is amazing .The children really like her as she is very patient ,kind and gentle. Linda makes learning fun and interesting by using lots of different teaching materials and resources like interactive CD`s,workbooks...
My oldest son was able to take his 11+ exams successfully

Report: Linda tutored my daughter in English in preparation for the NLCS 11+. Linda is knowledgeable in her subject matter, was prepared to go the extra mile in the run up to the exam, and her supportive, calm and steady approach was well received by my daughter and I`m pleased to say, paid off!
I would happily recommend Linda as an English tutor.From Katrina (5/5): (Primary Entrance Exams) Linda has been a great support to our 10 year daughter during a year of weekly 1:1 tuition, resulting in some excellent progress in both Maths and Literacy as well as solid preparation for the 11+ entrance exam. Linda also helped us initiate the formal process to verify that our daughter has mild dyslexia. She has a nice pleasant manner and consistent approach...

Report: Linda tutored my son to fill in the gaps missing in his knowledge which school did not adequately teach.
Linda done this and more.
His school report subsequently was the best he has ever got and the end of year 5 exams he got fantastic results. He is now in top sets for all subjects which we did not expect.

(My daughter of course, had something to do with this outcome.)
Anna liked Linda and always felt happy about going to tutoring classes. She didn`t feel intimidated, or anxious. . In fact, she enjoyed learninFrom: Alge (Ms)

Report: In depth knowledge of iGCSE English. Linda has been in constant contact with my son even outside of lesson time to constantly review his coursework and provide him with helpful tips and further study recommendations. I have no doubt I picked the best tutor for him. Linda tutors many students from my son`s school and is very familiar with the requirements and standards.
