Alison has tutored Lillie for six years, and throughout that time she has been truly exceptional. Lillie is dyslexic, and Alison has always adapted her teaching with patience, creativity, and genuine understanding. She explains concepts clearly, breaks material down in a way that makes sense to Lillie, and uses strategies that help her learn confidently and independently. Lillie’s progress has been remarkable. When she started Year 7 at Hertswood Academy she was placed in the lower set, but by Year 10 she had moved into the top sets — a transformation that boosted both her academic performance and her self-belief. As Lillie got older, she was so comfortable with Alison’s teaching style that she didn’t want to work with any other tutor. Alison kindly agreed to continue supporting her right through to her GCSE mock exams, ensuring consistency, stability, and ongoing progress at a crucial stage in her education. Alison’s dedication, reliability, and genuine care have made an enormous difference to Lillie’s learning journey. I would highly recommend Alison to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, compassionate, and exceptionally effective tutor.
Alison has been a fantastic tutor for my daughter, helping her prepare for and confidently pass her SATs exams. Her clear explanations, patience and supportive approach made a real difference. My daughter's confidence grew with every session and we are incredibly grateful for Alison's help. Highly recommended!
Alison is excellent in tutoring both maths and english. She is very experienced and the most friendly tutor we have met. All recommendations, 5* !
Child really clicks with Alison and enjoys the session. More specifically, my child does not consider the assignments 'work' so it's more engaging. Still early days but hoping it can be sustained.
Tutor response
Hi Clare, Thank you so much for your positive feedback. I'm glad that Ronan is enjoying his sessions with me. Perhaps you could let me know how I could turn that 4/5 to a 5/5 for you and Ronan!
My son has just recently started his tutoring lessons with Alison, he absolutely looks forward to his lessons every week. Would 100% recommend Alison to anyone whose child needs their confidence boosted.
Alison has been an excellent tutor for my two children for the Yr 3 - 6 curriculum in Maths and English. They have both improved academically through tutoring and are more confident when sitting exams as a result of Alison’s help.
Alison has helped my son enormously over the past 2 years by patiently working through his weaknesses, encouraging him and making sure he has grasped new concepts. Thank you Highly recommended
Very pleased with my daughters progress even after only a couple of weeks.
