    TESTIMONIAL

    “Thank you for tutoring H. He’s had a lot of fun and he has really developed his English skills for the 7+. 

    TESTIMONIAL

    Jess tutored my daughter in English through the 11+ process.  My daughter was offered entry into all the schools, including Alleyn’s and JAGS, that she applied to. Jess is experienced and methodical in her work and best of all she is calm. Jess communicated with me every step of the way and I could not recommend her more. Testimony to this is that Jess is now guiding my sons through the same daunting process.

    TESTIMONIAL

    Jess has been amazing with our daughter, helping her gain more confidence over time in areas that she finds hard. Also, despite focusing on these tougher areas, her weekly time with Jess is looked forward to and very much enjoyed.

    TESTIMONIAL

    ‘My daughter received a school certificate for a piece of writing she did on Frankenstein.  Her teacher read out a snippet of it at parent’s evening this week, and we were really impressed.  Ella is so much more confident with her reading and writing since she started doing sessions with Jess.’

    TESTIMONIAL

    “Jessica has successfully helped to prepare my daughter for her English Language and Literature GCSEs over the last four months, and the weekly lessons have had a positive impact on her recent grades. She has excellent subject knowledge and has correctly identified my daughter’s weaknesses and strengths, ensuring that these are addressed in her lessons. Jessica has been particularly good at teaching her to plan effectively for her writing, reflecting her understanding of the GCSE syllabus. Through her teaching, Jessica focuses on confidence building, which has been a key to success.”

    TESTIMONIAL

    “I can highly recommend Jess as a tutor. She worked with our 7 yo daughter twice a week for around 6 months. She was enthusiastic and developed a strong rapport with our daughter. The sessions were interesting and varied and helped greatly with her English and maths ability and confidence. I would gladly work with Jess again.”
