Working with Vanessa has been excellent. She does a great job of putting me in touch with prospective students and takes all of the hassle out of the payment process. She’s been professional and supportive throughout, and She’s always been on hand to help.

Vanessa has been a pleasure to work for. She is super helpful and brings years of experience to advise and guide you whilst also giving you autonomy for your own personal style of tutoring. You get to do all the best bits of teaching by focusing on your students whilst she does all the administration.
My son had tutoring through Vanessa for A-levels in both Business Studies and Maths. Both tutors, Stephen and Damon, were very professional and experienced. They were approachable and interacted with him well. They assessed his needs and tailored the lessons appropriately. We definitely feel that the lessons made a significant difference to his marks.
Vanessa looks for tutors who have experience in teaching, have a good rapport with students and get successful results.
I would recommend Vanessa to other parents who are looking for tutors for their children.
