A Level
A2 Heather was my chemistry tutor during 2015-2016 for my recent A2 exams and I found her lessons to be of great benefit. She’s a great teacher who has a very good understanding of the current exam syllabus and her friendly and approachable manner put me a
t ease from the outset. Heather was great at focussing on any particular aspects that I was struggling with and really helped to improve my understanding. A1 Thank you so much Heather for the help you have given our daughter with her AS Chemistry. She has gone from a U in her mocks in January to a B in her AS's this summer - amazing! She loves Chemistry and this result has really given her a boost and the belief she can achieve the A she needs at A2. So glad we have you on board for the next stage and cannot recommend you highly enough :-))))
A1/2 My son is really benefitting from lessons with Heather. She finds just the right approach to each pupil, responds for their needs, is supportive, understanding and appropriately demanding. My son is both, inspired and driven, by these lessons, and I am very thankful that we found Heather. GCSE
Discussing specific chemistry topics with Heather at my own pace has helped me understand all of the GCSE syllabus more clearly and I completely get chemistry now, before it was a bit of a mystery.
11+
Heather tutored our son for the eleven plus. From the very beginning we felt very comfortable with Heather teaching him as she made everyone feel at ease. He loved having Heather around every week and never felt he was being put under any pressure. She was able to make him understand the questions being asked in preparation for the exam, something we as parents would never be able to do. Heather showed the highest level of professionalism and was very easy to talk to about any concerns any of us had. We could tell she cares extremely deeply about the children she teaches. Our son passed his eleven plus and Heather will be going on to tutor our other children in the future. I have absolutely no reservations in recommending her to anyone. Heather is a great tutor with both her manner and her approach in very quickly being able to identify my child`s ability to work on both his strengths and weaknesses in all key areas. She makes him feel very comfortable to ask any questions and understands his personality and learning style which has brought a new found confidence in his ability and progression at school. He also always looks forward to his next session with her which is an added bonus! KS3 maths
Heather has been tutoring both of my children for almost two years now. She teaches my son who is in year 8 English maths and science and my older daughter A level chemistry. Both of my children are very happy with the way she teaches and I've seen levels of improvement from them with her help. She is an excellent tutor who is always well prepared and efficient and so I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a good and reliable tutor
KS2 maths
Heather has tutored my 10 year old daughter for 1 year. My daughter needed more help to uplift her confidence and improve in English, Maths and Science at KS2. Since Heather has tutored my daughter I have seen a big improvement in her progress this year. Her end of year report showed that she has improved considerably in English, Maths and Science. Heather is very friendly and approachable and my daughter really enjoys the techniques and methods that Heather uses. I would recommend Heather to any parent who wishes their child to progress further
