Jan has tutored my daughter once a week for several months for her English GCSE. Jan has been enthusiastic and very helpful. My daughter has really enjoyed working with her. I would highly recommend Jan as she is both knowledgeable and passionate particularly about Literature which my daughter was really struggling with. I note that Jan also interested in some of my own passions The Lord of the Rings and Doctor Who as I have heard these referred to during her teaching when trying to explain concepts in poetry, so I have even more regard for her!
Thank you for your comments Colette! Your daughter was a pleasure to work with, and I hope the Dr Who & LotR references helped as she untangled the Literature themes. I wish her every success for the future.
From Kirsten
Jan has been great for our daughter, really understanding her needs and working hard to meet them. My daughter is really enjoying the sessions.
Thank you for your comments, Kirsten. It is a pleasure to work with your daughter and to see her realise how much Biology she already knows and how to put it all together to make sense of the topics.
From Clare
Jan's sessions with my six-year old son are incredibly engaging. His eyes twinkle with creativity and enthusiasm for learning from start to finish. Exactly what we wanted and highly recommended.
Thank you for your comments; he is a delight to engage with and I am so pleased he enjoys the sessions.
From Amanda
Thank you Jan - Isobel found the initial session very useful.
Thank you, Amanda. I am pleased that Isobel found the session helpful; it won’t take long to build on her skills to take her marks to the next level. Jan
From Sarah
Jan is our 11 year old son's first tutor and he wasn't keen on having one in the first place. He absolutely loves his maths sessions and leaves every week feeling more confident and able, which in turn is helping him at school too. Jan is obviously very experienced in tutoring, as it is hard to engage our son for an hour, especially in something that he previously didn't enjoy. We are very lucky to have found her…
Thank you for your comments Sarah. It is a pleasure to help Fred to discover his mathematically abilities!
From Janet Xuan
My daughter is really enjoy the lessons with Jan. She's very patient to explain to my daughter what she didn't understand. We already fell she has improved her English and history.
Thank you Janet, your daughter is a pleasure to work with and I know she will continue to improve!
From Eva
I found Jan to be very reliable, patient and very approachable with my daughter and never looking at the clock :-) My daughter likes her very much because she knows her stuff.
It has been a pleasure working with your daughter. Thank you for your comments.
From Jess
Jan is great with my son. She is able to identify his strengths, and to really build his skill and confidence with maths. Super!
Thank you for your comments Jess; he is a pleasure to work with.
From Kay
Feel very lucky to have found Jan for extra maths for my son. They formed a connection from the first meeting and my son really liked her. Already he is learning after two sessions. Thank you Jan
Thank you, Kay, your son is a pleasure to work with, and we will sort out those Maths issues!
From Ruth
I can say I have found Jan to be, reliable, professional and highly competent across a range of subjects.She has a calm, patient and encouraging style and my daughter is growing in confidence with every lesson. Initially hired to teach my daughter GCSE Maths, is now also teaching individual sciences and English literature.
Thank you Ruth; it is a pleasure working with Bella. Jan
From Emma
Both my daughter and I have found Jan professional and she understands Hannah's needs. She is a very nice lady and I'm glad we've found her.
Thank you for your comments Emma, I look forward to working with Hannah & seeing her flourish! Jan
From Kelly
Jan is great, we've had three sessions so far and already my son came home Friday just gone with a star pupil reward… His confidence and attitude towards maths has already changed in such a short period of time and talking to him he feels that jan has a great deal to do with this. I feel that jan is able to talk things through and give explanations to problems in a way the student can understand and Taylor her teaching skills individually which is just what my son needed. I would highly reccomend jan to anyone.
Thanks Kelly; it is wonderful that he is feeling so confident and positive - this will really help him progress with his Maths and English. Jan
