    Gemma is skilful in using words of encouragement during the lessons. That is why my kids find the lessons comfortable and enjoyable. Gemma is good in time management. This is important to parents like me as every minute counts.

    Gemma's tutorials were tailored for my son, building confidence for his school entrance exam and setting out an achievable revision timetable. I would recommend her tutorials to anyone looking to fine tune their English comprehension skills. Thank you Gemma!

    Gemma has taught my daughter for 2 years and in that time my daughter has come on leaps and bounds! Gemma is a natural teacher, and manages to combine being organised and structured with making the lessons fun. My daughter really looks forward to her lessons with Gemma and has learnt so much. I would highly recommend her to any parent wanting their child to make great progress in English and Maths.

    Gemma started working with my son in May to help him prepare for his 11 plus exam in September. She worked with him very methodically - working to understand his strengths and weaknesses and built a plan for him, setting some homework when needed which she always discussed with me. Gemma went out of her way to recommend coursework, courses, study content, homework etc... in order to help support my son even when not working with him. I cannot fault Gemma in any way - she has worked tirelessly with my son, whose initial CAT scores were not great and I am so pleased to say that he has passed his 11 plus. This is absolutely down to Gemma’s wonderful style, perseverance with my son and professionalism throughout. Thank you so much Gemma, I can never thank you enough!

    We have been so happy with what our children have achieved with Gemma. They have started their new schools in a fantastic position in terms of their attainment and ability to learn. If I had a similar situation again I would recommend Gemma without a second thought. Thank you!!

    Gemma worked with our son with the aim of getting him into Bedford Boys School which we knew to be a tough entry exam, on a par with the 11-plus. Despite only having around 3 months to work with him Gemma quickly established a good rapport and structure with him that he looked forward to and worked well for him. Maths and English were the areas of focus and the results were soon evident as testing in these subjects at school began to improve. It was also clear that his vocabulary and writing skills were improving and we were delighted when Oliver sat the entry exam and passed. I would have no hesitation in recommending Gemma.

    Gemma has tutored my 10 year old daughter in preparation for sitting the 11+entrance exams. My daughter has enjoyed the online sessions as Gemma is great at putting her at ease. She has successfully pointed out where she needs to improve without disheartening her. Gemma has been flexible, and reliable and I would happily recommend her to other parents looking for help.

    The tuition between my 11 year old son and Gemma has been invaluable. His English was OK but his comprehension has come a long way since starting these lessons and with each lesson I believe he is definitely more confident as a result. This has helped with his schoolwork in the ideas and thoughts he brings into his English lessons which is good. I thoroughly recommend Gemma’s services to provide help build confidence in English and improve his vocabulary and comprehension so that he improves in every lesson he has.

    Gemma is professional and approachable. She has a good way to make her lesson interesting and easy understood. My son likes her. He started his weekly lessons with Gemma about a month ago and has improved already. I am very pleased with Gemma and would highly recommend her.
