Debra has been an excellent tutor. She is good at communicating and made a good rapport with my son. We were grateful for her support this term.
Debra tutored my son for 7 months prior to his SATs. I highly recommend Debra as a tutor. She was very professional and knowledgeable and was always very prepared for the sessions. She had a very kind and calm manner which helped boost my son’s confidence in his learning and in himself. We were given very helpful feedback after each lesson so we knew what had been covered and areas to focus on. The tutoring that Debra provided contributed to the success that my son had with his SATs. I highly recommend Debra as a tutor.
I highly recommend Debra. She is a lovely lady who offered my daughter friendly, reliable, high quality teaching in A level history for the last 3 months before her exams. She even prepared stuff and looked over her work outside of the actual lesson time. My daughter's confidence and understanding vastly improved - now we only have to wait and see the result.
In such a short time Debra has made such a difference to my son's learning, understanding and articulation for his GCSE in history. He thoroughly enjoys the sessions and Debra applies learning techniques in formats that are aligned to his learning style. I would highly recommend Debra to anyone.
Debra is a punctual ,professional and really effective tutor. Very keen in helping our son, although the time was against her. She managed to make clear for him essential key points in English and History, giving him the opportunity for high performance in GCSES. I strongly recommend her!

Thank you so much for your feedback. Really appreciate it. Good luck and best wishes to your son.
Very effective in helping my niece, who had missed some parts of the GCSE curriculum. Debra clearly communicated her availability and we could plan.
Debra has been tutoring my Y9 son for English. She is very punctual, structured and importantly is patiently able to flex her approach for SEN needs. She has been sharing regular feedback on the sessions which is really useful. It's only been a few months but I am now hopeful that these sessions will help build my son's knowledge gaps & confidence to achieve well in his GCSEs.
We are absolutely delighted with Debra, our son started his sessions last year and already made a huge progress. He is working towards 10+ and is right on track according to his school. He really enjoys the sessions too because he feels he is getting the help he needs. Highly recommend!
Debra is a responsible tutor for a short time my child really enjoyed
Debra has provided twice weekly tutoring for our Y7 child over the past few months. Punctual, positive, professional, and patient. Provides additional lesson materials, and timely feedback to parents. Experience with special needs. Highly recommended.
My son has had 2sessions and we are really pleased. Debra seems very experienced and is really competent at teaching dyslexic children. She is really challenging my son. She has been able to find the gaps in his knowledge and is targeting them to strengthen his performance. We would definitely recommend from what I have seen so far.
Debra has been helping our son learn and practice his English and Verbal Reasoning, in preparation for forthcoming entrance exams at both Grammar and Independent Schools nearby. We have nothing but praise for her work with our son. First and foremost is her approachable interpersonal style, which meant that our son has looked forward to each weekly lesson, and never once has he grumbled about 'weekend lessons'. We are now 6 months in to our lessons with Debra, and I'm so pleased that we found a tutor who we think is ideal for our son, and through the weekly post lesson feedback keep us well informed of our son's progress and areas for further development. All in all, I would wholeheartedly recommend Debra as a tutor for your child if they are looking to sit Y7 entrance exams. Whatever the outcome of the exams for our son, I would not wish for any other tutor.
Debra was highly professional, very structured, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. We were not able to work with her long term because of a scheduling conflict, but I would certainly ask to work with her again.
Debra helped my daughter for a short while, and we found her to be very helpful and accommodating. I can highly recommend her.

Thanks, Melissa. Glad it is all going well with cousin Laura teaching Sciences. Appreciate that French is much less important in the scheme of things if your daughter wants to pursue the Sciences. Best of luck for future success in GCSEs. If you ever need any final revision with French, English or History, I’m happy to help.
My daughter is always looking forward to her lessons with Debra. She has boosted her confidence in her French and English. Definitely I would recommend Debra.
Debra has been teaching English to my son for about 6 months. Her teaching has been excellent and my son loves his sessions with her. She is very good in understanding how much a young child can cope with and plans her sessions and homework accordingly. My son has improved in his grammar and punctuation quite a lot. We are very happy with Debra's teaching style and would definitely recommend her.

Hello Sweeta. Thank you kindly for this. Glad it's still going well and welcome to Year 3!
My son really enjoyed his lessons with Debra. Debra was very calm with my son and knew which area he may need extra support.
Tutor response
Much appreciated, Salma.
My 12-year-old son has been having English coaching with Debra during the summer holidays. He hit it off with Debra straight away. Debra is professional, kind and warm. She has a lovely calm manner and I have already recommended her to a number of my friends. Debra is knowledgeable and has worked out the areas where my son requires help. My son is going to continue having coaching with her and always enjoys his lessons.
Tutor response
Many thanks for this, Caroline. It's always very nice to hear. Glad he is enjoying lessons and I'm looking forward to Year 8.
Warm, friendly and engaging from the start. Managed to get my son, who was reluctant to have ‘extra’ work, onboard from the get-go. Patient and positive in all aspects and able to keep a chatty child on-task with humour and kindness. We are focusing on 11+ for our son and although he has just started with Debra the benefits are already evident, with more thoughtfulness in his approach to a variety of tasks.

That's lovely, Andrea. Glad it's working. Your son is chatty and confident. It's a wonderful quality! Thank you for the positive feedback.
