Holly's Feedback

Holly has been very helpful , knowledgable and flexible ,planning sessions to fit with my daughters exam requirements.

Message to parents looking for potential tutor –
why I 100%+ recommend Holly and know she is the right tutor for your child.

A level Philosophy
COVID had a detrimental effect on my child academically and mentally due to the isolation. She developed anxiety, was critical of her self-worth due to illnesses, and her dyslexia worsened. We as a family were facing a battle, so I knew that I had three months before the start of the A level, to find a tutor who had a battle on their own. Contacting Holly was the best thing I had ever done. Holly was up for the challenge, and she excelled. I am not very good at articulating my words, so I hope I do Holly justice. Holly will 100% care about your child. Not only for their studies but also for their welfare. Holly was able to be the person my daughter could confide in when she had a tough day at school. Holly answered my daughter's text every time; it did not matter what day or time. In fact, she also responded to my endless emails asking if she could contact my daughter because my child was having a rough day with the subject. Showing my daughter the skills of how to manage her stress and anxiety allowed my daughter to start focusing on her A-level philosophy subject. Holly brought my daughter out of her shell. My child became extremely good at understanding what was expected from her, exceeded in formatting discussions, arguments, structuring essays and answering questions that far exceeded even what her school teachers expected. Every week I could hear laughter and debate upstairs with my daughter and Holly, and when the lesson ended, it seemed that it hadn't because my daughter would continue the conversation/debate with us.

A level English
Unfortunately, less than a year before the exams, we needed an English tutor because my daughter was getting stressed, which affected her dyslexia, she started to dislike Shakespeare, and her grades had dropped. As soon as I said I would ask Holly to support her, my daughter jumped at the opportunity. Holly had less than a year to turn everything around, another challenge I did not think was achievable. But I was wrong.

Grades
In August 2022, my daughter did 4 A-level subjects and received grades A in philosophy and A in English literature. She is now off to a top Russell University. This is all down to Holly, and my daughter believes in Holly to help her academically and mentally. Holly is extremely knowledgeable in philosophy and English that the students do not even know they are having a class. She can put all matters of these subjects in the modern day, so it is relatable and easy to learn and understand. My daughter adored Holly's classes and adores Holly. She also helped my child manage her anxiety and stress. Holly was able to work with my child's dyslexia, knowing that she tackled things differently and Holly used more than one approach before she understood.

My advice in picking a tutor is that the grades can only be achieved if your child is in the right place mentally. Holly has the empathy and knowledge to put your child first, knowing that the academic result will follow and believe me it does.

I thank Holly for being there for our family, and 100%+ recommend Holly.

After a couple of lessons my daughter is very pleased with the way Holly works and is already more happy with her essay writing. we will continue to work with Holly after a great start . My daughter says that she is very approachable and professional and I found her to be a very good communicator as we got going. Thank you Holly

Holly is just the best tutor. She is friendly, extremely knowledgeable and always managed to find the time to help my daughter when needed either by e-mail or in person or even over the phone . Thank you for helping my daughter secure the A grade at A level she needed. Highly recommended.

Only met you once. Seem a very nice & caring person

Holly is a very patient and professional teacher. Highly recommend to those who needs help in history.

Can't recommend Holly highly enough. She tutored my daughter through A level Government and Politics and was always friendly, helpful and excellently prepared. She was also very generous about fitting in extra lessons where needed. Her knowledge is vast, and she has an up to date bank of case studies that were very helpful. Altogether the best tutor I've met. Thank you very much Holly!

Excellent. My daughter likes her and enjoys her sessions with her. We can already see the improvements in my daughter's english.

We are really pleased with Holly. She is always here exactly on time and is really lovely and friendly. My son is enjoying his tutoring and learning a lot from it. No problems to report at all!

Its early days but Holly seems very personable and my daughter is enjoying her lessons and finding them very useful.

Holly is lovely she put my son at ease straight away. She has a very positive approach and I believe she will give my son the confidence and support he needs to achieve the results he wants. Really looking forward to our next session.

Holly 'got' our requirements immediately, connected well with our teenager and made him feel very comfortable. Good start. It feels right and we are comfortable with our choice. Holly was punctual, very pleasant, and motivated and we hope it goes well. Our son was inspired after one hour.

Both girls warmed to Holly straight away. They found her to be friendly and encouraging and able to put points across in an enthusiastic way. A good feeling that this is going to work out really well.

My 14 year old daughter really enjoyed Holly's lessons. They were well planned and engaging. I would highly recommend her as a tutor.

Holly was employed to tutor an upper sixth form pupil who had lost confidence in A2 Russian History and needed help to structure a revision plan for AS retakes. Its fair to say that without support from Holly the student was likely not to sit the exams as was on the point of giving up. Holly is very knowledgeable in her subjects and had a calm and positive approach and used past papers to develop the skills required to achieve exam success. Holly was always punctual and professional and dedicated to student success and promoting self-belief. I would fully recommend Holly. She is a truly lovely lady who genuinely cared about the welfare and success of this student.

We would strongly recommend Holly… She is an excellent tutor. She helped my son who was taking A Level Politics and Government . She knows her subject well and is extremely professional.

Holly is very personable and hit it off with our son immediately, putting him at his ease. She is knowledgeable both at AS level History and Government and Politics and he is finding her support very helpful. She is challenging enough to make him have to work hard but encouraging enough so that he feels that he is making progress. Holly has also helped him plan his exam essay structure and responses, which should hopefully pay dividends in his upcoming exams.
