My son had one-to-one sessions with Vanessa for creative writing prep. We started very last minute (around 2 weeks before the exam) and Vanessa has been of massive help. She was highly accommodating and could derive the best out of my son. He cleared St. Olave’s stage 2 and was highly motivated after the sessions to even write a story for BBC competition and was in the top 100. All thanks to Vanessa – I believe she is one of the best when it comes to adjusting her teaching style as per kid’s individuality and keeping them motivated. Highly recommend Vanessa.
Vanessa is highly experienced and extremely organised. She teaches in a calm and clear manner, immediately making the child feel at ease. My daughter’s creative writing improved significantly, which reflected in her results.
Vanessa home schooled and tutored my 8-year-old son for 9 months while he was in year 3. She taught him maths, English and components of the wider year 3 curriculum, including science and the Romans. Vanessa taught in such a way that motivated, encouraged and challenged my son. She achieved exactly the right balance of fun and being firm. He made real progress under her tutelage. Vanessa is a talented teacher who has a great deal of experience. This came through when we asked for her advice and guidance about our son’s education more generally. She supported my husband and I in our decision making around schooling and was clear and decisive in her approach. I continue to recommend Vanessa to everyone looking for a tutor – she is outstanding and really cares about the child.
Vanessa is a fellow professional who respects my boundaries in terms of how many children I am able to tutor, and what days and times are workable for me. Having someone organise potential tutees means that I am able to concentrate on teaching.
