Patient tutor who has picked up what our son needs quickly.
Kate has been incredibly professional and is always super creative and energetic in my son’s lesson. We are looking forward to continuing his learning with Kate.
Tutor response
Thank you so much! I'm really enjoying working with N and am glad he is enjoying our learning games.
Thank you for your very kind offer of help before next lesson. My son was very pleased with the lesson again today and he feels that he is learning from you. I like your approach, input and enthusiasm and it seems to be working really well. It’s a pity that there aren’t more ‘Kates’ out there! :-) Thanks again for another productive lesson.
Tutor response
Thank you for these kind words. It's a pleasure teaching A and I'm glad that he is getting a lot out of our lessons.
Kate has been excellent! Although she only started working with our son 3 months before his GCSE exams, Kate was able to understand where we was very quickly, and then added immense value to his revision and exam preparations. He thoroughly enjoyed all his sessions with Kate, and we would recommend her to anyone looking for an English GCSE tutor. Thanks Kate!
Tutor response
Thank you so much, Matthew. It has been an absolute pleasure working with G and I'm so glad he's felt the same way. I'm very pleased that he has gained such a lot from our lessons and I wish him all the very best.
My son has only received one lesson with Kate at present. Kate is organised, informative and most importantly Luca enjoyed his lesson. With Kate’s help I’m sure luca will go up a Grade in his GCSE exams this summer. Thank you Kate !!
Tutor response
Thank you very much for this feedback. It was great to make a positive start with L and I'm delighted that he enjoyed his lesson. Onwards and upwards!
Kate was genuinely an academic lifeline for our family when she began tutoring our son. He had struggled with English language and comprehension for several years and needed a tutor who could help him make sense of English grammar, spelling and phonics. Kate worked with him to develop both his reading and written English skills as well as giving him some much-needed confidence. The result was a marked improvement across all of his subjects. Once his written language improved, he was much more able to communicate the depth of his ideas and thinking. Something which had held him back and left him frustrated in school previously. Even though all of his lessons were virtual, Kate was able to build a really strong trust bond with him which was impressive and enormously effective in helping him to learn. As a direct result of Kate's influence he is more confident in school, enjoys reading so much more and is able to communicate complex ideas in writing fluently and confidently. We would not hesitate to recommend her, she's a real gift!

Thank you for this wonderful review. I'm thrilled to bits to hear that my work with M has made such a positive difference not just to his education but to his life and his sense of self; that's the greatest reward a teacher can have. I'm so pleased to know that it's also made your lives as parents just that bit easier. M is such a lovely young man and it's been a real pleasure to know him and to work with him.
Tutor response
Thank you for this super rating. It's great to know that you're so happy with how my work with A is going.
We are so fortunate to have found Kate! Kate is helping my child with English and French in preparation for 14+ entrance exams. My child loves working with Kate. We live abroad, so Kate conducts the sessions over Zoom, which works brilliantly. Kate draws up very detailed, engaging lesson materials and provides thoughtful, helpful feedback on my child's progress all the way. Due to differences in curriculum etc... my child had a lot of catching up to do, but Kate knew just what to do, where to start and how to develop the skills and knowledge my child needed -- my child has already learnt an enormous amount in a short space of time.

Thank you for this lovely feedback. It is a delight working with M and I'm glad she's getting a lot from our lessons.
Kate has been a super teacher for my son.
Tutor response
Thank you very much. It's a delight teaching M and seeing him respond so positively to our language exercises and games played over Skype.
So glad we have found Kate, she has been a great help to my son. He has only had a few lessons so far but is already feeling more confident about his upcoming GCSE’s. Very helpful tutor and super reliable.
Tutor response
Thank you for this feedback. I’m enjoying teaching L and am glad to hear our lessons are making a big difference to him.
We came to Kate in February '19 after our daughter's year 5 teacher called us to school to tell us she had fallen badly behind in Maths. We immediately started a weekly tuition programme with Kate and below are the results of that investment : Her end of Year 5 school report congratulated her on her much improved Maths The first Year 6 Maths test returned an impressive 84% (previous scores were in the low 60s) She has been placed in the upper group in Year 6 streamed Maths We have Kate to thank for this marvellous turnaround.
Tutor response
Thank you for this lovely feedback. It's been a delight tutoring O and seeing her skills, confidence and enthusiasm develop. She has worked very hard and is reaping the rewards; I'm so glad to have played a part in this.
Kate has immediately helped my son's confidence for his forthcoming 11+ exams. She's been extremely patient, encouraging and thorough, and has achieved more in a short space of time that I could have hoped for in both Maths and English.
Tutor response
Thank you very much for these comments. It is a pleasure to work with R: he is bright and keen to learn, and responds well to both our targeted learning games and the rigours of past papers. He’s a lovely child and I’m sure all his hard work will pay off.
My son has been seeing Kate for intensive tutoring over the Summer holidays. Kate has been caring and supportive and her work is always creative and imaginative. My son loves learning with her and we have already seen significant improvement in his work. Kate has spent considerable time after classes writing me detailed feedback on how things are going and advising me how best to help my son achieve his potential. A thoroughly successful partnership!
Tutor response
This is lovely to hear; thank you very much. I am really enjoying seeing A engaged in our maths and writing games - to the point where he's writing more than he would ever have set out to - and I'm so glad that he's loving our lessons. He is a darling, full of energy and personality, a bright spark and a pleasure to work with.
Our daughter warmed instantly to Kate and we have been extremely impressed by the amount of work covered in each session. Kate has made the work relevant to our daughter’s interests too, so the themes are fun.
Tutor response
That’s great to hear; thank you for the feedback. I am really enjoying teaching C and am so glad that she feels happy and is learning a lot.
My son said Kate is nice, helpful, resourceful and the second best teacher he’s ever had. I find Kate diligent, organised, informative and we look forwards to may more lessons to come. Thanks!
Tutor response
Thank you very much for this positive feedback. V is a delightful boy, and I am pleased that he's enjoying both the challenging Maths and the careful English we're doing together.
You mediately put Charlotte at her ease (which is not always easy) and I feel will be able to work on the missing gaps so that she can grow more confident and without it seeming to be too much hard work!
Tutor response
Thank you! I was very pleased that we bonded quickly, and am enjoying seeing her confidence grow. I’m delighted that she’s learning without realising it - always the best tactic with little people.
I highly recommend Kate as a Tutor of English. She is driven, organized and talented tutor who develops inspiring relationships with students. Her ability to connect and her talent is simply the best. I really like her concepts and approaches to non-native English speakers.
Tutor response
Thank you very much for this feedback. I am really enjoying seeing M’s and R’s skills and confidence with English develop as they become more practised analytical thinkers and creative writers.
Very friendly, very professional. Kate put me at ease straight away. Her way of working with new piano players such as myself is second to none. I thoroughly recommend her. I’ve stopped temporarily due to work commitments but hope to start lessons with Kate again in the new year.
Tutor response
Thanks, Dave. I’m so glad you’ve had a good experience and I look forward to continuing teaching you when you have more time.
Kate is an amazing tutor who really cares about getting the best from her students. A balanced approach is always adopted, making sure that the extra work is always achievable, and is sympathetic to the other pressures and priorities out there for the student. I am also happy to feedback that the time spent with Kate resulted in great GCSE marks, for which we will always be grateful. Cannot recommend enough!
Tutor response
I was delighted that after all her hard work C got the grade she needed to take this subject on to A level. She was a joy to teach, always responsive, hard-working, and keen to make progress, and I'm so glad that our intensive work together paid off. K
Kate was kind, straightforward, punctual and organised. She explained things very clearly to my 13 year old son who found the lessons really helpful. Kate also sent me a detailed ‘report’ about what they had covered in the 3 hours (on separate occasions) of tutoring and how the sessions had gone. I found this very helpful too. Kate was also very flexible about the topics they covered, even changing them at the last minute. I would highly recommend Kate.

Thank you for your feedback. I really enjoyed teaching T and wish him well for the future.
