"And, once again...THANK YOU! Really, really, really thank you. X has absolutely loved his sessions with you - he has been stimulated, challenged, inspired and made to work AND laugh...lots! You get the balance so right Janette, a super cool tutor and person. "

GCSE Parent

"You’ve been wonderful for both X and Y we have always appreciated how thoughtful you have been in your approach with two very different students!"

11+ Parent

"X got his number 1 choice - Wilson School today. I couldn't contain my excitement so texting instead of emailing. This would have been impossible without you."

11+ parent

Sep 2025- "Since you started tutoring X in May 2020 when she was in Year 7, you have given her tremendous support – not only academically, but also emotionally. Your guidance has made such a positive difference, and we truly believe that her excellent GCSE English results are a reflection of your dedication and encouragement. Words cannot truly express how grateful we are."

IGCSE Parent

Sep 25 "I cannot thank you enough. If someone had told me 2 years ago that X would achieve these results in English, I wouldn’t have credited it. And if someone had told me he would choose to do sixth form subjects that involve quite a lot of essay writing, I also wouldn’t have believed it! A lot of that is due to how fantastic a teacher you are."

IGCSE parent

Sep 25 "You have got a very happy student here. He has got a 9 in English language. I can't thank you enough for all the help and encouragement you have given him to reach his best. He is over the moon."

GCSE parent

Sep 25 "Hi Janette. Thank you so much for all your help over the past year! You've really helped me enjoy English and improve my grades. I've just picked up my results and have a 9 in English lit and an 8 in lang which I can't actually wrap my head around!"

Year 11 student

"It’s a yes!!!! You are such a brilliant teacher and we feel so lucky that you helped X along this secondary school exam journey over the last 15 months."
