My daughter has just received her GSCE results and got two grades higher than expected. She has always really struggled with maths and we were expecting her to have to resit it. Thanks to Michelle, my daughter gained confidence and understanding which pushed her grade up to a pass. My daughter loved that only Michelle could see her on the class and only Michelle could see her work, which gave her confidence to fully engage in each class. I cannot thank Michelle for giving my daughter the confidence and knowledge to pass, my daughter was absolutely buzzing when we got her result xxxx

Title: Heartfelt Thanks to Michelle for Her Incredible Support I am writing this review to express my deepest gratitude to Michelle for the exceptional support and guidance she provided while tutoring my daughter, Macie, for her GCSE maths exam. From the very first session, Michelle's warm and encouraging demeanor created a safe and positive learning environment that allowed Macie to flourish. Michelle's ability to break down complex concepts into manageable parts made all the difference for Macie. She not only explained the mathematical principles clearly but also instilled confidence in her problem-solving skills. Macie looked forward to each session, excited to learn and tackle new challenges, which is a testament to Michelle's engaging teaching style. What truly sets Michelle apart is her dedication to her students. She went above and beyond to ensure that Macie was well-prepared, offering personalized resources and additional support whenever needed. It was evident that Michelle genuinely cared about Macie's success, and her unwavering encouragement helped to alleviate much of the stress associated with exam preparation. Thanks to Michelle's invaluable tutoring, Macie approached her GCSE maths exam with confidence and a solid understanding of the material. We are incredibly grateful for the positive impact Michelle has had on Macie's academic journey. I wholeheartedly recommend Michelle to any parent seeking a dedicated and inspiring tutor. Thank you, Michelle, for being such a remarkable mentor to Macie!

I would highly recommend Michelle. My son has been part of the on line tutoring programme and we have also had some 1:1 sessions at our home. It is clear that she is passionate about what she does and genuinely cares about her student. She goes above and beyond to provide support to both students and parents. She has a calm approach to her teaching and is able to teach complex maths in a way that students can understand and my son’s confidence has grown with the support of Michelle. We will both miss her once the GCSEs are finished. Thank you so much Michelle for everything you have done for me and my son.

Michelle is a brilliant maths teacher. Like most secondary school children, my son has termly maths tests and Michelle's tutoring gives him the extra boost he needs to navigate these. She works alongside his school curriculum to ensure there are no contradictions and has really helped his confidence. She is a kind and understanding teacher. He is now working toward his GCSE and she is helping to make the journey as smooth as possible.
