Excellent GCSE English tuition

Mary worked with my son on his GCSE English and proved an enormous asset. To have individual feedback on his work made a huge difference and allowed him (and me) to understand what examiners were looking for and where he needed to improve.

Mary patiently and effectively helped him to improve the standard of his answers as well as his efficiency when writing, keeping him to the point when needed, which allowed him additional time to get onto the next answer.

His grades improved after just a few weeks of tuition and he was delighted with his results.

Very poor experience with tutor. Would not recommend

I was recommended English language Tuition from a friend. I started my son's tuition in October. My 8 year son's experience with Mary had not been great. He said she would give him a title and expect him to work for an hour and not give aid. I thought maybe its just assessments and we would get a plan to draw up his strengths and weaknesses then we could help him improve. He had 6 classes yet no plan as such was drawn up. No comments were made to me what he needs to improve on. What she feels he needs to work on. I was patient and waited. However each time was let down by his tutor. I feel Mary is very cold and not welcoming individual. I have messaged her on numerous occasions and she does not reply. I have had a very very poor experience with this tutor.

Suggestions where she could improve would be time management and putting her students welfare first.

If you require tuition I would not…

If you require tuition I would not recommend it from English Language Tuition. She is very grumpy and does not engage well with children. They have been a few occasions where she will not respond for days. If you require a tutor to be attentive she is not the right one. She will send documents late and last minute she will change to online. I feel the experience I have received has been appalling. You have to keep chasing her up to get things done. Very unorganised tutor with a bad attitude.

Hi M Anwar,

Apologies that you feel this way. I have been ill with the flu recently and had time off for Christmas and New Year with family and friends which is why I had not prepared your study plan yet. Also you arrived for a lesson which was not booked into our calendars as it was my understanding that Thursday mornings, according to our WhatsApp exchange, are not convenient for you. Bookings are emailed to you and no booking was made for that date. I suggest that with your next tutor, you double check the booking just to make sure that things are the way you want them before setting out.
I don't know which date you are referring to when you say I make last minute changes to online lessons. I only did this with you once because I had to go to a funeral and take the lesson from my hotel, and you agreed.
I called you today as per your request but unfortunately you were not available to answer and have not called me back. I offered you future dates but you would like to cancel tuition. That is absolutely fine.
Please send me your bank account and sort code and we will refund you the fee for all the lessons you have taken.
Happy New Year!

I want to say a big thank for my lovely…

I want to say a big thank for my lovely teacher Mary. You were always very kind and proactive in your classes. Also, we had a lot of fun during the classes. In particular, I remember about my private classes when you help with my broken English. In my first interview, I succeeded because of your great support. I am so glad to find you when I arrived in England. Thank you ❤️

Mary is a patient, thoughtful, creative person

Mary is a patient, thoughtful person with a creative personality and so I asked her to takeover from me, when I left a tutor role to help teach George, who was about 4 and half years old.

George is a native Russian speaker and his family moved to Oxford and they wanted a tutor to help him learn as much English as possible before being ready to then start the first foundation year of primary school.

I am happy to recommend Mary, to be your private tutor.

Sincerely,

Alasdair
