In Their Own Words

Full Reviews from Students & Parents

My son received a GCSE grade 2 English Literature in his final mocks, and I went into parental panic! It was February and he was taking his GCSE’s in 3-4 months. He got a 7 for English Language and there were no issues with his other grades. When I asked him why he got a 2, he said “I just don’t get it”, but he made it clear to me that he really did want to ‘get it’ and was willing to put work in, with the aim of getting a 5.

After a frantic internet search I came across Nathalie, who started weekly sessions with my son. She gave him confidence and as he says, “explained how to write a paragraph and what content he specifically needed”. After each session I’d ask him how it went, and with enthusiasm he’d say “yeah, really good, I get it!” Nathalie even fitted in sessions before his exams, this gave him calm confidence and an organised plan for the exam.

Nathalie’s strategy was thorough, delivered brilliantly and got my son an 8! One of his first reactions upon getting his results, was that we must tell Nathalie straight away and thank her. My son does have academic ability, but we all fully credit Nathalie’s incredible teaching skills with the achievement of lifting his grade from a ‘2’ to an ‘8’ in 3 months. Thank you Nathalie! We’d highly recommend you to anyone who genuinely wants to learn and see results.

Nathalie helped me greatly with my A level English literature. Her lessons were particularly useful for discussing ideas for my texts and also going through practice essays for which she gave me very detailed feedback. She is a wonderful tutor whose lessons are engaging, well-structured and extremely helpful.

As a result of her help and guidance, I have not only gained confidence in a subject I found difficult initially, but managed to achieve a high A* in my end of year exam. This has been a massive improvement since the beginning of the year, which shows just how good a tutor Nathalie has been.

My daughter had tutor sessions with Natalie for A Level English Literature. She really enjoyed each session and Natalie's warm and engaging personality. She found her lessons very organised and well prepared and thoroughly recommends her to any other students who need some extra help. My daughter was delighted to get an A in her English Literature and is off to study her chosen degree course at her first choice university next month ! I honestly would 100% recommend Natalie to anybody who needs a fabulous tutor!

Nathalie is such a great teacher. She taught me loads of techniques and strategies to get the best results possible. Before Nathalie started to tutor me I was getting grades of 4 or very occasionally 5. My final results were a 6 in Language and a 7 in Literature. I really couldn’t have done it without her - thank you

Words cannot express our gratitude for the exceptional support and guidance provided by Miss Nathalie in preparing our Nitin for his St. Olave's Grammar School selection exams. Miss Nathalie's dedication and expertise in teaching English creative writing and poem analysis have been invaluable in shaping our son's academic journey.

Thanks to Miss Nathalie's unwavering support and encouragement, our son Nitin not only gained confidence in his abilities but also developed a deeper appreciation for English literature. Her guidance has undoubtedly played a significant role in his success in the St. Olave's exams. Thank you.

“Izzie was predicted a grade D, and with Nathalie's meticulous planning and expert coaching, she achieved a grade B. The improvement in her understanding of the subject and her confidence was remarkable. Each session was tailored to Izzie's needs, and her communication with us as parents kept us informed and reassured throughout the process. We have no hesitation in recommending Nathalie to any parent looking for a tutor who will deliver on exam results.”

“Nathalie has been tutoring our daughter Olivia in GCSE English literature & language. Having these one-to-one sessions has been invaluable. She puts a lot of effort and time into her lesson plans and gives weekly feedback — what they covered, what went well, what can be improved and next steps. We highly recommend her. She is an absolute gem.”

“We are super impressed that Jenna managed to pick up her grades from a D to 2 points off an A. Nathalie's tutoring clearly made a huge difference. Jenna got a B for her English Literature and entry to her University of choice!”

“Nathalie tutored our son on a 1:1 basis. He was struggling with GCSE English Literature and Language. Under Nathalie's guidance he got the marks he needed to do his A-levels. In addition to his improved English scores, his History mark went up 2 grades — the tools he gained under her tutorship helped him better interpret and answer questions across subjects.”
