Testimonials

Emily related well to my son. She had a comfortable rapport and my son liked her immediately. We had spoken on the phone beforehand and Emily had a good overview of my expectations. She encompassed all those in the first lesson and I am very happy with her approach

Niloufer, GCSE English Student

I was really struggling with my Higher Psychology before reaching out to Emily but after just one session she had made areas much more clearer for me. In the first session Emily and I had discussed what revision tools and activities would be the most effective for me during our sessions, this helped me learn in the most effective way possible. Emily was very knowledgeable about psychology which helped me greatly when there were areas of psychology I was unsure of, she made sure I had a good grasp on a topic I had difficulty with before moving on to the next one. We worked on all areas such as going over past paper questions, working on the psychology assignment, exam preparation, key areas of psychology and areas I was unsure on. When the time came for me to sit my exam the difference in my knowledge of psychology was huge and thanks to Emily I was able to achieve an A in my exam.

Millie, Psychology Higher student

Emily is an excellent tutor, she is reliable, professional, and organized. She always gives very good advice and encourages my daughter to keep trying. My daughter has shown an incredible progression in her GCSE English, I put this down to Emily’s consistent, professional and patient approach. Highly recommended!
