We are beyond thrilled with my son's progress in English Language after working with Elizabeth. In just four months, he improved by nearly three full grades – an incredible achievement that we couldn't have imagined without her expert guidance and support. Elizabeth’s tutoring is truly outstanding, and we are deeply grateful for the difference she has made. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for effective and encouraging tutoring
When a learner fully engages, and takes on board all they are being guided to do, this is the difference that can be achieved. Thank you for this feedback Mike, it is great to see and hear how well your son is doing. And do keep me posted for the re-mark as with some good will, the 2 illusive marks off the 9 will be achieved!
From Karen
Fantastic tutor for my 16yr old son ahead of his GCSE for English language. He was able to achieve the grade he needed to take A levels with Elizabeth’s help and improved his results by 2 grades from his predicted results. In addition I’ve no doubt that the sessions also helped increase the grades he attained for English literature (7) and History (6) as both grades increased from the predicted as he was able to use the tips and techniques he learned from Elizabeth for these subjects as well. Would highly recommend.
Thank you Karen. It is great that he did so well in such a short amount of time, and this feedback is so useful for other parents. I wish you both all the very best for the future.
From Farnaz
Elizabeth is an excellent tutor and tailors the sessions to my son’s needs perfectly. The sessions are well organized and I receive helpful feedback after every session.
Thank you Farnaz. Your feedback is important and valued. Always good to know that the teaching and learning process is working.
From Natalie
Elizabeth has been an excellent tutor to my daughter and I can’t recommend her enough. We have started tuition quite late and Elizabeth was able to organise the lessons to cover necessary GCSE material my daughter had problems with. She had boosted her confidence , strengthened her knowledge and improved her exam skills. Elizabeth’s lessons are well structured with a possibility to be flexible when necessary. She is very easy to communicate with and responds promptly to any queries. Elizabeth’s support and encouragement meant a lot to my daughter.
Many thanks for this well thought out feedback, which will be of benefit to all parents seeking support. It has been a pleasure working with your daughter and am sure she will have done well in her exams.
From Miro
Fast response and very helpful with. any. request.
From Junova
Elizabeth facilitated this engagement with professionalism and an in-depth knowledge of the kind of help required right from the outset, by getting us to consider the possibility of getting separate tuition for English Language and Literature. This advise has proven to be invaluable. I only hoped it would have come in sooner! Elizabeth is extremely committed to what she does and her regular and frank feedback on progress keeps us in the loop of what is being achieved.
Thank you so much for your kind words: helpful and insightful for all.
From Amit
Elizabeth is an excellent English teacher. She tutored my son for a short time which was enough to boost his confidence and helped him achieve his desired grade in English. I would thoroughly recommend her as an English tutor.
Many thanks for taking the time to let others know how I can be of help. I wish you and your son all the very best.
From Melissa
It was Lucy's first lesson she came down with a smile on her face and said it was really good.
It is really good to know that a learner that was challenged and upset because of lack of understanding can be turned around to see that she actually does understand in just one hour. Well done Lucy.
From Bill
From Zoya
Elizabeth is an amazing teacher. She is very patient, understanding and always has open ears. The ways she teachers not only makes the lesson interesting but also entertaining so you can make sense of it and have a smile on your face. The best part is you will see your progress as your lessons go on!
Many thanks for taking the time to offer this lovely feedback. It means a lot to me, and I look forward to taking you to your exam and successful outcome.
From Hazel
My son has had one lesson from from Elizabeth so far. However, in that short time, I can say I am extremely impressed with the wonderful easy rapport she made with my son so quickly. He is actively doing the homework she gave him the same day, which is amazing. I would advise anyone looking for a tutor to work with Elizabeth. My son and I are very happy we chose her!
Thank you for this feedback and I am looking forward to our continuing work together.
From Shawn
Hi Elizabeth,
Thanks for help in teaching our Son English. We saw big improvement in his English score. He is been moved from set four to set 2 . We are very grateful to you. Kind Regards Joe
Always a pleasure and always good to hear the successes: my reason for teaching. Thank you.
From Tana
Couldn’t agree the Terms and Conditions
Many thanks for the feedback. When committing to the learning process it is so important to be fully committed in order for the teaching and learning to be of benefit to the learner. Following years of experience in the education field, I am fully committed to this process.
From Fraser
I contacted Elizabeth through First tutors as I was looking for an English Tutor for my son with ADD to support with his learning and forthcoming exams. I spoke with Elizabeth and was pleased with her experience and approach and also with her feedback from previous students ,which was excellent. The process to set up lessons was made easy as Elizabeth is very organised and my son starts his tutoring next week and look forward to working with Elizabeth.
Thank you. I very much look forward to starting lessons with your son and am confident he will do well.
From Gary
Elizabeth is a very experienced trainer. As a foreign english speaker, I sometimes struggle to express my opinions fluently. I had great help from Elizabeth. She helped me build my confidence , identify my weak spots and taught me ways to improve. Thanks.
Many thanks for the feedback Gary, and it is great to be working with you and supporting you in becoming an even better communicator.
From Nathan
My daughter has been working with Elizabeth for the last 6 weeks to develop additional English language skills. It was very clear to me from the start that Elizabeth is a very experienced tutor who has a great deal of knowledge handling children (and probably adults alike) needing to improve their skills. I've found Elizabeth to be very organised, an excellent communicator, patient and excellent at getting in touch with the motivators which have encouraged my daughter feel much happier and confident about the English tasks her school have been asking of her.
As parent, I imagined it would be difficult to know whether the tutor was worth the money without sitting in the background in attendance of every lesson (which I wouldn't do) - Elizabeth must understand this from the parents point of view as she has an excellent way of keeping parents informed with emails very quickly after each session ends. Initially Elizabeth's profile caught my eye because of her NLP skills and I'm really pleased to say that I have no regrets in making contact and arranging the lessons we have.
If there was any feedback I could offer it would be to FirstTutors whose website is quite basic and not very supportive at matching student to tutor before money changes hands. That said - the match turned out well for me and I hope it does you too.
Many thanks for the detailed and positive feedback. It really means a lot to me as a professional teacher/tutor/trainer, that my skills are recognised and utilised to achieve the best for the learner. I feel very confident that your daughter will achieve her goals, now that we are gaining a better understanding of her learning style and motivators and with strong family support too.
From Bernadette
My son has been attending since the beginning of January. There is clear communication and weekly reminder of sessions and a update follows every session. My son seems happy to attend and feels that he is improving.
From Kinga
This feedback is not about the lessons themselves. I haven’t managed to set up tutoring with Elizabeth due to mutual busy diaries. Confirming availability upfront is advisable before proceeding to requesting the tutors details to be released.
I am sorry you feel like that. Though we did discuss a number of options I can appreciate that it can be difficult, given that I am in demand, to find a booking when the client has limited availability. Since I've introduced an online booking system it makes it much easier to find a time to suit. I also appreciate that investing in tutoring is a big commitment and in order to see results you have to commit. Wishing you every success.
From Maria
Elizabeth is an outstanding teacher. Her knowledge skills and ability to connect with her students is reflected on academic progress and results. However, most importantly we are grateful for the relationship that our daughter has developed with Elizabeth which has been a very positive one. The fact that Elizabeth takes the well-being of her students very seriously especially their mental well-being is piviotal.
Thank you Elizabeth for your ongoing supportive, understanding and caring relationship with our daughter.
Thank you Maria.
From Neil
Elizabeth is a wonderful, supportive tutor who has gone the extra mile and more to ensure our daughter receives the best tuition and preparation possible. Highly recommended!
From Rana
This is the first time that we have used a tutor and Elizabeth has been excellent in every way. In a very short space of time we have seen a huge improvement in our son's writing ability and overall confidence in English language (and just generally in himself !). Elizabeth promptly provides feedback after every tuition session and is always happy to discuss any matters further. She is very knowledgable of all aspects of the GCSE syllabus/examination technique and has really inspired our son to enjoy English language (a real first for him). Would thoroughly recommend !
Thank you Rana. I’m sure he will continue to do well with this newly discovered skill. I really appreciate you taking the time to give such detailed and appreciative feedback.
From Isabel
Elizabeth is a profesional and an excellent teacher. I have been with her a year and my confidence and my English skills have improved and my colleagues have seen the improvement too, so i am very glad to have found her. I strongly recommend her.
Thank you Isabel. You work hard too, which makes the teaching easy. You'll have your exam in no time!
From Carol
Elizabeth has done wonders in tutoring my son who has come on leaps and bounds with his English. My son finds her extremely easy to get on with and very patient. She always makes it extremely clear as to what is expected of him either in lessons or by way of homework and has been extremely encouraging throughout. He actually enjoys English now and is so much more confident. A big thank you!
Many thanks for this lovely feedback: an affirmation as to my passion of the beautiful English language; teaching; and learning. AND! another convert to the love of the English language… yay!
From Kate
Elizabeth has made a big difference to my daughter's confidence in her abilities. She has gone back to basics with her and given her great strategies to help with spelling and comprehension. Her school reports reflect her improvements in these areas and we are delighted. I pass on any other feedback to Elizabeth from her school teachers which she immediately begins to incorporate into her lessons with my daughter. She is friendly and approachable in her methods so my daughter feels completely at ease. I have already recommended her to my friends who have children struggling with English and I will continue to recommend her in the future.
For private teaching to work to its best, it is so important to work as a team: student, teachers, parents. By doing this we support the student holistically and their belief begins to grow. Watching your daughter grow is my reason for doing this work: to enable each individual be the best version of themselves and achieve. Thank you for your support, and the lovely feedback and recommendations.
From Denise
Elizabeth has been brilliant with my daughter Gabriella. She prepares well and explains things very clearly and her sessions are enjoyable. With more application and help Gabriella has greatly improved her grades in GCSE English to a 6. I highly recommend Elizabeth.
Denise
Many thanks for this feedback Denise. With our continued love of teaching and learning, it is entirely possible for Gabriella to exceed this. Great to see a student's dreams come true!
From Amy
Elizabeth was a great help with our daughter. She had to retake her GCSE English Lang in November but due to timetable clashes at her school she could not attend the retake lessons in the sixth form. Luckily for us we were able to book a series of lessons (multiple ones each week) over a number of weeks before the exam. Our daughter found Elizabeth an excellent teacher because she explained how to answer the exams questions in a why that she understood, which the school had failed to do over two years. Our daughter is very strong on the Maths front and I think the quote from her 'Elizabeth has taught me the formula to answer the questions' says it all. The formula being to approach English with inquisitiveness and thrill rather than the robotic fashion in school. As a result she passed her re-take and we are very pleased.
Excellent news and well done. I truly love the English language and it's great to learn that my passion is infectious and tangible to my wonderful learners. So proud for her. YAY!
From Sarah
Elizabeth is a very friendly lady. My 14 year old daughter has really enjoyed her lessons as Elizabeth is very engaging and makes the lessons fun.
Thank you Sarah. Our lessons are indeed enjoyable and it is always good to get the feedback. See you next week.
From Caroline
Very quick and efficient response to initial enquiry. Friendly, easy to communicate with and very helpful. Would definitely recommend to others. Just a quick update: My son received GCSE English tuition from Elizabeth after attaining a D grade twice. On his next attempt he achieved the C grade he needed. My son actually said "I wish Elizabeth had taught me English in school as i would have understood what i needed to learn to get the C in the first place". My son and I highly recommend Elizabeth.
From Mingzhen
Elizabeth is a very kind and patient teacher. My daughter is really enjoying her sessions with her and we're seeing the benefits.
From Marella
So far so good my son didn't want to go ! But came out very happy and Quite happy to go next week . So all is good thank you Elizabeth .
From Gemma
Elizabeth is a friendly, patient and supportive tutor. The thought of exams, particularly English really worried me. Elizabeth worked with me to explain things and really helped to build my confidence. I have just received my GCSE results and got a C. Thank you Elizabeth for all of your advice, help and support.
From Biju
Excellent teacher. We are pleased. I recommend her highly.
From Rosella
I really enjoyed the classes with Elizabeth. Adult learning requires a different approach and she managed to deliver very good contents in an engaging manner. She is professional and friendly. I would definitely recommend Elisabeth.
From Karen
Elizabeth has tailored the lessons to my daughters needs and quickly identified her strengths and weaknesses. Already after only 3 weeks my daughter has already learnt some valuable and transferable skills which she can use not only in the lessons but outside in school and in general day to day life. She has even taught her grandparents a technique that not even they knew existed.
I would not have any hesitations in recommending Elizabeth for other students that have specific needs or learning opportunities as to date my daughter has settled well and is enjoying every lesson.
My daughter is KS3 year 7.
From Helen
Elizabeth tutored my son for a short time after he initially failed his English GCSE. She gave him confidence through her patience and calm manner. However following a remark my son passed and consequently no longer required her services. I would however recommend her to anyone requiring help in this area.
From Pooja
My son considers Elizabeth to be one of the best tutors he's had. His grades have improved and so has his love for English. I'm happy to have Elizabeth as my son's tutor.
From Leanne
I can't thank You enough for helping Aaron. Only having had a few lessons so far I feel he has gained confidence and understanding to hopefully achieve the grade he needs for his GCSEs and to even better it. Thank you,
Leanne Whitehead
From Ware
Elizabeth was very responsive to my initial enquiry which was very much appreciated as I needed to arrange a tutor for my twins who have different needs for their forthcoming English GCSE's. Elizabeth has quickly assessed how best to address those different needs and engaged with my children in a positive and supportive way. They have both said that she has helped them improve already, which only after 4 sessions is very promising.
From Maija
My daughter Stacey really likes Elizabeth as her tutor. According to Stacey, Elizabeth makes her to understand what is needed to know and she explains everything really well. Stacey will resit her English Language GCSE exam in the beginning of November, and I am confident that Elizabeth's teaching is giving her a great booster. Kind regards Maija Fisher
From Dawn
Elizabeth is an extremely knowledgeable, thorough, supportive AND fun tutor!! We were incredibly lucky to find her. Elizabeth is currently supporting my 16yr old son through his GCSE English, and we plan to keep hold of her for A levels!!! Thank you Elizabeth
From Sarah
Very lovely, helpful and friendly - my son is finding her tuition incredibly valuable - highly recommended
From Lya
I contacted Elizabeth because I needed help to improve my written English. Elizabeth is very professional, she was able to identify my mistakes and areas to improve since the first session. She is very friendly and always goes an extra mile to help me by providing supporting material or doing phonetics exercises. I highly recommend Elizabeth for anyone looking for a serious and professional tutor.
From Gary
I have sat in on a couple of Elizabeth's English sessions with my 14 year old daughter and I find Elizabeth's approach, manner and the very special way in which she delivers information and feedback to my daughter, really quite refreshing and both Elizabeth and my daughter get on really well and I feel my daughter is learning something new every week. I would highly recommend Elizabeth as an English language tutor without hesitation.
