Testimonials
”Chrissie was patient and worked hard to get my daughter engage. She ended up looking forward to her sessions and she was able to utilise the skills and knowledge gained, not only in English, but across other subjects too when answering exam questions.
I would 100% recommend Chrissie to anyone. We are all grateful for the support she gave to our daughter.”
”Chrissie is wonderful and helped my son enormously! She is very accommodating and patient and made a huge difference in my son’s GCSE preparation.
Thank you so much Chrissie.”
‘Our son speaks English as a second language and only started attending secondary school in the UK in 2020, with most of his lessons online for 2 years.
With Chrissie’s help and support he managed to achieve well above expectations in both his English Language and English Literature GCSEs. We can’t thank Chrissie enough for what she has helped him achieve.’
“I cannot recommend Chrissie highly enough. After level 3s in my son’s school GCSE and 2 subsequent resits, I turned to Chrissie in desperation. My son had lost his confidence and any interest in English and felt that he would never pass his GCSE English Language.
“Chrissie taught both my son and daughter as they worked towards their GCSEs. As non-native English speakers, Chrissie was always ready to help by encouraging my children to do their best which reflected in the good grades they achieved.
Chrissie is very passionate in her job and what she passes to her pupils. She is dedicated, caring and knowledgeable. She works hard and gives lots of support. My kids felt comfortable and confident as they sat their exams. Thank you Chrissie.”
“We can never thank Chrissie enough for moving our son’s GCSE grades from a low 3/4 to achieving grade 6 in both English Language and Literature! She ignited his enthusiasm again for English and we are so grateful to her.
In addition, his improved writing flow and style increased his grades in other subjects; where he was able to structure and debate in his work, particularly in Geography. Their discussions on poetry increased his analytical skills.
Chrissie is always well prepared for the learning each week and set weekly independent homework tasks. Chrissie has a calm and friendly manner and developed a brilliant relationship with our son. He became so motivated to do well across all of his subjects.
We are so grateful to her.”
“Chrissie is simply an amazing tutor. She has given my daughter the time, tools, support and knowledge to be able to tackle any English exam questions and the methods she learned filtered through to other subjects too.
“Our daughter had English tuition this summer with Chrissie.
The service was absolutely excellent and my daughter is now fully prepared to start the new school year with the knowledge she has learned.
Definitely recommend to a friend and will use as a top up before her GCSEs.”
“I highly recommend Chrissie. Over one year, my son who has complex needs went from not being able to read or write at all to enjoying books and reading more fluently every day with the support of Chrissie’s tuition.
Chrissie also tutored my youngest daughter in maths and English and she improved in leaps and bounds, growing more and more confident with her learning. I would highly recommend Chrissie.”
“Chrissie has helped our twin sons, who both suffer from Autism and learning difficulties.
They both loved working with Chrissie. She worked at their own pace and built up their confidence, so that they could enjoy college more and not be afraid to embarrass themselves in class.
Chrissie worked intensively with one of our sons to successfully pass his GCSE English and is currently supporting our other son through Functional Skills.
Therefore we heartily recommend Chrissie as a private tutor.”
“Chrissie’s dedication and commitment to help my son with both English Language and English Literature was fantastic.
Her lessons were structured, well planned and her understanding of how my son learnt was highly intuitive. She has helped him to understand what a question is asking, and show him how to structure his answers. My son seems so much more confident in English as he approaches his GCSEs.”
“I couldn’t recommend Chrissie enough, she tutored my son for both GCSE English and English Literature, pulling his final grade up 2 places from his predicted grade.
Chrissie gave my son the confidence he needed to be able to achieve what he was actually capable of despite his struggles with dyslexia.
Chrissie taught him techniques and skills that he will be able to use into college and his future life. Having Chrissie as a tutor was the best decision we ever made.”
“Chrissie has been an amazing support over the last 2 years for my 11 year old who has additional needs. She is patient and individually tailors each lesson to get the very best out of him.
Not only has Chrissie made great progress with his literacy skills, she has helped give him more confidence to use these skills in school. He looks forward to her weekly sessions, would recommend her 100%.”
“I was lucky enough to get two sessions at short notice with Chrissie! I had two students from Syria come to stay with me. As they are ESOL students I am glad I was able to find someone who could really help and encourage them to learn some more English.
I had two tutors, and Chrissie was favoured by the boys and they would be over the moon to have her again. She is friendly, open and punctual. I am located in Lowestoft and was lucky enough that she was able to come to us.
I would highly recommend Chrissie if you are looking for a tutor!”
“Chrissie only had 8 weeks to prepare my son for his English GCSE resit.
Today we got the fantastic news that they did it. So pleased and can’t thank Chrissie enough for her help.”
“I highly recommend Chrissie and cannot fault a thing. My son was struggling with English literature and, with his GCSEs approaching, I reached out on Facebook and got recommended Chrissie multiple times. I am so pleased Chrissie had space to take my son on.
My son has gone from feeling nervous, confused and worried about English literature to having such a good understanding that he has walked into exams more confident and capable.
Thank you Chrissie, from a mum that felt so much mum guilt not being able to help to feeling chuffed I found you.”
“Great tutor, very professional, would highly recommend.”
“Chrissie has given English tuition to both of my children and I could not recommend her enough.
They both found her very engaging and the content was structured to their needs. I am in no doubt that Chrissie helped them achieve the best possible grades they could'”
“My son had a set of 7 sessions with Chrissie following three attempts at his GCSE English, where he scored 3 each time. He was so deflated and with a recent diagnosis of dyslexia he felt a good pass was impossible.
Following Chrissie’s sessions my son developed so many strategies and confidence, he went into the November retake with noticeable positivity.
We were all blown away with the result this month where he gained a 6!! We really can’t thank Chrissie enough for all she has done in giving my son a great experience and getting the most amazing result!”
‘I’m so glad we found Chrissie. She has helped my daughter, in year 11, gain confidence in English and fully prepare her for her exams.
I highly recommend Chrissie. She is a superb tutor’
‘Chrissie was absolutely the right choice for our daughter.
She was very engaging with her and made the sessions fun and effective. She lifted her prediction grades in English but also helped with structure that paid dividends in all subjects.’
“Chrissie tutored both my children in turn as they went into year 11 to prepare them for their GCSE English Language and Literature exams. She really made a difference to their knowledge and skills and helped them both achieve a better grade, despite my son being dyslexic and struggling with GCSE English.
She was consistently professional and available to offer any help they needed as well as flexible when we needed to rearrange sessions.
I would highly recommend Chrissie to anyone thinking of engaging a tutor. Thank you Chrissie.”
“My son was unable to cope with mainstream education when he started at high school due to his complex behavioural and learning needs. This made it difficult for him to have any formal education. Chrissie taught him for a period of 2 years and he has made outstanding progress with his learning during this time.
Chrissie ensured he had a calm and nuturing environment in which to learn. This resulted in him really enjoying his learning and the progress made is testament to that.
My son really struggled to read and write when he started at high school, but now he reads complex and demanding texts and enjoys doing it. I am delighted to see my son happy and settled when learning and want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Chrissie for supporting us along an extremely difficult road. He will now start at his new, specialist school with a positive attitude as well as a solid foundation.”
Chrissie’s style of teaching recognises a child’s strengths and interests focusing on positives to build confidence. I saw an immense improvement in my daughter’s work through her lessons. Chrissie always pushed her to do better every week. I definitely recommend her.”
She tailored everything to meet his complex needs and helped him to make progress and stay focused. The strategies she taught him were so valuable to him. We cannot recommend her enough.”
“I cannot recommend Chrissie enough. My daughter was struggling with both her English Language and Literature, but with Chrissie’s excellent lesson planning, dedication and support, my daughter really went from strength to strength.
Chrissie took the time to listen and understand the issues my daughter was experiencing and worked with her to progress. A big thank you from both of us.”
“Chrissie has helped my daughter achieve grade 9’s in both English Language and English Literature.
She has been extremely supportive and has always given constructive feedback with my daughter’s work to help her improve and achieve her highest potential. Highly recommend her!”
“Totally recommend Chrissie. Her dedication and commitment to help my daughter get up to speed with both her English Language and Literature was fantastic.
Her lessons were well planned and her understanding of how my daughter learnt was something I hadn’t experienced with any teacher before. My daughter achieved a 5 in both subjects. Thank you for all your brilliant work Chrissie.”
“Chrissie has really supported my daughter during her GCSEs. She has achieved a higher grade than predicted by her school with Chrissie’s hard work and dedication. Thank you.”
“Our son wasn’t enjoying certain aspects of his school work and whilst we did our best to help as parents we took the decision to look for a specialist tutor to help support and further his learning.
We found Chrissie and our son began after school sessions once a week. The improvements through the extra tuition my son has been having with Chrissie has been fantastic. It has really nurtured his development and growth with both his English and reading.
Chrissie provides a comfortable, relaxed and varied learning environment which he always looked forward to each week, thoroughly enjoying the sessions.
If you are looking for extra tuition for your child to compliment their education we highly recommend Chrissie’s services.”
“Chrissie has been amazing. She tutored my daughter for GCSE English Literature and gave her the tools, skills and especially built up her confidence to achieve her potential. She moved up 2 grades from her predicted grade.
Thank you Chrissie for all your hard work and dedication.”
