I highly recommend Viv as an English tutor. She prepared my daughter extremely well for GCSE English Literature and Language increasing her grades from 7/8 level to achieving 9s in both subjects.

Viv has been a fantastic tutor, helping my son to improve his confidence and grades. Her sessions are well prepared and tailored to what he needs to focus on, with really clear feedback. He highly recommends her and is glad to have had her support in the run up to GCSEs.

I highly recommend Viv! Viv tutored my son for his English language and English literature GCSE exams. We selected Viv because of her knowledge of the specific texts my son was studying. Each session is based around what my son wanted to focus on and Viv taught him how to structure his answers for maximum marks. She provides revision notes and past papers to accompany each session and provides feedback on any work we sent to her. She asks questions to ensure understanding and has the ability to steer thoughts so that the student comes to the conclusion. My son went into his exams with much more confidence and we are looking forward to his results.

We’ve only worked with Vivienne for a short time, as we came to her following poor mock results and with GCSEs fast approaching, but the impact she’s had has been fantastic. She is an excellent English teacher who clearly loves her subject and brings that enthusiasm to every lesson. She is incredibly kind, patient, and supportive, which has really helped build my daughter’s confidence in a short space of time. She’s also very reliable and flexible, which made organising sessions around a busy and slightly stressful period so much easier. My daughter feels comfortable and encouraged, and we’ve already seen a noticeable improvement in both her confidence and attitude towards English. I only wish we had found her sooner! I would highly recommend Vivienne to anyone looking for a dedicated and inspiring tutor.

Viv is the most amazing tutor. English was not my daughter’s favourite subject, but she now enjoys poetry, has much more confidence with English all round, and enjoys her sessions with Viv very much. Each face-to-face lesson is a quiet hour away from everything else going on, where Viv listens, gives feedback on my daughter’s work, and offers amazing tips on how to improve. Viv has also sent pieces of work and advice — and wished my daughter luck — outside of lesson time. Viv’s encouragement and support have been top-notch. We will miss you, Viv, but hope to see you again when it’s my son’s turn for a GCSE confidence boost! 😊

Vivienne is an exceptional teacher, she is patient, professional and enthusiastic. Highly recommended.

I am writing to highly recommend Viv as an English tutor. Viv tutored my daughter, Imogene, in preparation for her GCSE English exams and we could not be more pleased with the results. From the very beginning, she built a genuine rapport and trust that made all the difference. This was crucial, as it allowed Imogene's confidence to flourish, a quality that had previously been a significant barrier for her in the subject. Viv tailored her sessions to Imogene’s needs, always striking the right balance between structure and creativity. She demystified tricky grammar and gave Imogene the tools to write with clarity and conviction. She focused on building a solid foundation of understanding while also giving Imogene effective strategies for exam technique. Thanks to Viv’s dedication and support, Imogene passed her English GCSE with flying colours, an achievement that reflects not only hard work, but the belief Viv instilled in her along the way. We’re incredibly grateful.

Vivienne was very helpful. Took me 3 years to pass as a mature student and I passed once I had her help. She was extremely grateful, supportive and flexible around my work schedule. I couldn’t recommend her more.

Viv was full when I contacted her for support for my son who has dyslexia and was struggling with his English Language GCSE. She kindly managed to squeeze in a few ad-hoc sessions before his exam. Her gentle approach, patience and encouragement gave my son the skills and confidence which helped in all of his exams, but incredibly got him from a 3 to a 5 in his English Language exam. Our thanks to Viv for helping him to believe in himself and help him achieve what he needed for his next steps onto college.

Viv has been tutoring my daughter in English Literature and Language for GCSE for the last two years both in-person and online and has really helped her prepare for the demands and expected requirements of the examinations. Thank you Viv for all the valuable feedback, ideas and insights you gave her.

We have had a really great experience with Vivienne. She has been patient, supportive, and very accommodating, making time to fit in a session at short notice. My daughter has already grown more confident with analysis and writing, and we have noticed improvement even after just a few sessions. We’re looking forward to continuing to work with Vivienne next year in preparation for GCSEs. We just want to sa**Contact Detail Removed**ge thank you to her.

My son really enjoyed his tutoring with Viv, it gave him confidence and knowledge of the GCSE requirements, which even helped in other subjects. Viv was friendly, pleasant and processional.

Viv has been an excellent source of support for my daughter, quickly building a rapport and helping to build her confidence. She has been caring, supportive and flexible and has made an enormous impact on her progress in a short amount of time.

Vivienne. Has been an excellent tutor for my Grandson, and we are very grateful for all the work she has put in over the last 3 months to help him with his studies in readiness for his GCSE exams.

My son has enjoyed his time with Vivienne and has found it extremely helpful in the run up to his GCSE. Vivienne has found a way to explain things so my son can understand and then put into practice. My son has always struggled with English however has taken his English GCSE with confidence. I would highly recommend Vivienne.

My son is in year 10 and not an enthusiastic English student generally but he knows he needs to work hard in run up to his GCSE later this year. He felt that the better than expected results in his mock exam were really due to the advice and teaching from Vivienne. She was really good at working out his mindset and just finding a way to get him to focus - not easy with teenage boys at all! Vivienne gave great feedback to us, related brilliantly to my son and is a fantastic, professional and inutuitive tutor.

Viv has been tutoring our son on the lead up to exams. Due to lengthy periods of sickness our son had large gaps in his knowledge of his English Literature, and consequently affecting his confidence and enjoyment of the subject. Viv has worked wonders over the last few months. Engagement was always going to be key and She has done so wonderfully with Max and has such a lovely and caring teaching manner. She has managed the impossible and it has been a joy to hear Max quote Macbeth over dinner ! Not once has Max ever tried to get out of attending his session…a miracle in itself ! My only regret is not finding Viv sooner !

Viv has been tutored Alex for GCSE English. He has found her sessions to be both challenging and enormously helpful in improving his understanding and skills. This has supported his learning for English, and given him a better understanding of critical thinking, interpretation and analysis, which is helping with other subjects. We rate Viv extremely highly and recommend her.

Vivienne helped Ella to gain more confidence and structure in English. Highly recommended. She is flexible, kind and caring also. Thanks so much.

Viv has been a very supportive and caring tutor and she really helped my daughter with her reading papers and poetry exams.
