Jessica is an outstanding tutor. She helps my son for preparing English for 11+ plus test. Every lesson is well structured. Jess also shared useful English study resources and tips. After some weeks lessons, my son feel more confidence on doing English practice paper and creative writing. Thank you, Jess!

My son needed help with his course work for GCSE Drama, and it was by sheer luck that I happened upon Jessica’s profile on this site as she was an absolute 10/10. She patiently helped my son set out a plan and approach to craft his piece and over a matter of a couple months worked with him to final delivery. Not only was the piece ultimately really strong, but she definitely helped him in his overall understanding and approach to GCSE drama written work. We would highly recommend Jessica and wouldn’t hesitate to ask for her help in the future! She is a gem.
