We enlisted Julia’s help after the December mock exams showed that there were some weaknesses in my son’s exam performance. He has been working with her now for the last six months in the lead up to this year’s GCSE exams and has thoroughly enjoyed his weekly tutoring sessions. His confidence has grown and his grades improved and, crucially for me, he felt both prepared and calm about sitting his final exams. Julia is a consummate professional and her caring approach and flexibility were greatly appreciated by us. On the odd occasion when a scheduled tutorial time needed to be altered she did her best to accommodate our requests. Her support and guidance have most certainly made a huge difference to my son’s outlook and performance and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for extra support. Mrs B
Julia, you have given my son the confidence he needed in maths. He has gone from a below expected level to exceeding on his school report and feels much more able to succeed. He has been very happy with your kind, calm, methodical approach and has overcome his fear of algebra. Thank you for your hard work and patience. You were highly recommended to us by another parent and I would pass on that recommendation. Mrs W
I would strongly recommend Julia for her support and advice which helped our daughter achieve a good GCSE maths result. – Thank you Julia.
Mrs H
Julia has been an amazing support for my son who does have some identified needs supported by school. His confidence and ability has grown immensely in a short amount of time. Julia was excellent at keeping me informed on his progress. My son went into his GCSE exam confident and without worry, which meant everything. Thank you Julia. I would highly recommend.
Mrs Q
My daughter started working with Julia at the beginning of Year 10, with the aim of improving her Maths to achieve the required GCSE grade for 6th Form entry. She had always found Maths to be a challenge, and was not expected to pass. Through Julia’s patience, kindness and expertise, she grew in confidence and was able to use her sessions to improve her understanding and hone her exam skills.
I am delighted to say that she sailed through her exams, and has passed her GCSE Maths! Thank you Julia for your help and support. I would recommend you to anyone.
Mrs L
Julia stepped in to support our daughter as she prepared for her Maths GCSE. She was very supportive and patient in her approach and definitely made a real difference. Julia was also very flexible on timings and we added in extra lessons in the run up to the exams which really helped with last minute preparations.
Mr A
Julia covers the entire GCSE syllabus with a steady pace, without overburdening the student and instils self confidence. She explains everything clearly, intelligently without overburdening the student. Her explanations cater to not only achieve good grades, but also clear understanding of any topic. She was good about topics, which had previously been intimidating for my daughter. Her classes are well planned , providing extra guidance as and when needed by the student. Julia definitely inspired my daughter to do her best. Thank you very much for your time and help.
Mrs J
Maths was the one subject my 16yo lacked confidence in, particularly as the classes at school moved so quickly that sometimes he hadn’t quite grasped one concept before they moved on to the next. I highly recommend Julia — she is extremely professional and patient, with a kind, calm and engaging way of tutoring. She worked at my son’s pace, ensuring that he understood each problem before moving on to the next. Each session gently built his understanding so by the time GCSEs were upon him, maths was no longer something he couldn’t do, it was something he was ‘OK at’. Julia also went above and beyond to fit in revision sessions before final exams. My son found this 1:1 time absolutely invaluable. I only wish we’d booked sessions with Julia far earlier in his school career!
Mrs M
Easy to recommend Julia, she has helped our daughter as a maths tutor during the year working up to her GCSE exams. She is very kind and patient and extremely good. Our daughter suffers with her mental health and Julia has been fantastically supportive during the lessons and we couldn’t praise her highly enough.
Mr T
Thank you so much for getting my daughter through her Maths GCSE. She was so chuffed. She was able to get from a grade 2 to a grade 5 with your help. Mrs G
My daughter was needing a little extra confidence in her Maths. Julia really helped with both her confidence and ability. My daughter ended up with an eight in her GCSE and a seven in her further Maths. The extra help Julia gave really made a difference.
Mr B
I got an eight in Maths! It wouldn’t have been possible without you over the years so I just wanted to say a massive thank you.
Miss A
I felt my daughter needed some extra support and confidence-building for her Maths ‘A’ level, particularly as the classes at her school were quite large. Julia was recommended to me by a friend and we have found her to be an excellent tutor. She is also very friendly, modest and understanding with a good sense of humour. Julia is also very experienced when it comes to tutoring and knows how to get the best from her students. My daughter went onto achieve an A in her maths ‘A’ level and I can thoroughly recommend Julia as a Maths tutor.
Mrs H
My eldest daughter went to Julia four years ago and the understanding of maths and the confidence was amazing. We decided to have private tutorials in our home, my daughter’s grade at GCSE went up from a low D/E to 6 marks from a B in 4 months! My daughter, who struggles so much with mathematics, grew in confidence and Julia helped to teach my daughter how to “break things down” and “work out” hard and tricky sums. Since then my youngest who has now done her exams also has had help with Julia for the past six months and she felt so confident doing her maths papers. Julia, we cannot thank you enough for always coming on time, being so professional and encouraging my daughters, we have and will continue to recommend you so highly.
Mrs E
“We cannot thank Julia enough for helping our daughter with her maths GCSE. When she started with Julia maths was a bit of a mystery and we were hoping at best for a B grade. Our daughter has now taken her maths GCSE 6 months early and has achieved an A*. Julia has been patient and cheerful and has definitely given my daughter heaps more confidence. Thank you! ”
Mrs C
After re-thinking his A Level choices, and having not studied maths for the previous eighteen months, Julia single-handedly taught our son the necessary three AS Units between December and May and he achieved a high B and gained the confidence to continue the subject to A2.
Julia’s patient, positive and cheerful approach was exactly what was needed and we are delighted with the outcome and very grateful to an excellent tutor. Thank you Julia.
Mr and Mrs A
My daughter was a B grade Maths student and keen to improve to an A, she lacked confidence in her ability and Julia supported her throughout her GCSE maths course. As a result of Julia’s patience, support and encouragement my daughter achieved her A grade, and her confidence increased so much that she decided to continue her Maths studies to A Level. We are all delighted with her result and her decision to continue her studies in Maths – thank you Julia!
Mrs S
We could not have been more delighted with Julia’s approach, kindness and total understanding – even of a student who made it very clear she had no intention of doing Maths post GCSE. Our daughter achieved a B, when the school was predicting a fail only months beforehand, so both she and we were over the moon and knew it was entirely down to Julia.
Mrs M.
Thank you so much for your help and guidance. Thanks to you I’ve become more confident and my grades have improved. Thank you for being a great teacher.
Miss K.
Thank you so much for all your help! It’s really helped me to do a lot better this year.
Miss M.
We were all delighted with our son’s result. You worked wonders in such a short space of time bringing him up from an iffy C grade to an amazing A grade.
I would very happily recommend you to anyone.
Many thanks
Mrs G.
Just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work with Oliver. His tutor at school today said he is now working at level 7.
