My daughter has been working with Lizzie in preparation for her GCSE English Language and Literature exams this summer. My daughter has really enjoyed her lessons and has found Lizzie's teaching style very engaging and informative. Lizzie has amazing content knowledge, and a fantastic teaching style. My daughter's confidence has quickly grown in both subjects, and we are sure that with Lizzie's continued support she will do very well in her summer exams. In her mock exams, she scored an 8 in English Language and a 9 in English Literature. My daughter is autistic and due to social and sensory issues is homeschooled, Lizzie has been amazing in understanding her needs and has worked very closely with me to ensure that the lessons run smoothly. She is an amazing tutor and would highly recommend her to any student looking to ensure their GCSE English Language and Literature success.” (Mrs D.) “I started with Lizzie approximately 8 weeks ago. I was predicted a B for my A level English literature. I needed to be predicted an A to apply to the university course I wanted and my teacher gave me the chance to try and improve my grade before my form went in. Lizzie has been so great in helping me improve and thanks to her my teachers have seen a great improvement in my work in that short time and I have now been predicted an A. She is familiar with all texts and goes out of her way to to be so helpful and works at a pace to suit you.
