Testimonials

Over 1000 happy parents with successful children during 30 years of teaching

In one word, brilliant! Vanessa is a first-class English tutor. She took our son from being incredibly nervous of English to him being able to write incredibly creative, well-structured, and beautiful stories at the drop of a hat. Two years later, and he still credits Vanessa with transforming his confidence with English.

NS, Arthan’s mum

Vanessa brings a highly professional, experienced, committed, yet kind, approach to tutoring. She has given our son the backup and reassurance he requires outside of the school classroom, and fully understands his needs in each academic year. She was recommended to us – and we wouldn’t hesitate to pass on the recommendation.

Lucy, Mill Hill

I have been working with Vanessa for around a year now and in this time have had a few students with her one who has become a long-term client which has been great. It’s been lovely seeing Vanessa’s tutoring agency grow and I’m looking forward to continue working for her.

Talia, tutor

Vanessa is great to work for. She has made the move to online tutoring very simple, and has been able to get me work very quickly.  She is very organised and also very patient with any help that I need. Highly recommended.
