Jess has been absolutely amazing for my 7 year old son during the pandemic. Her lessons are so engaging and tailored towards his interests. How she gets him to sit and learn for one hour via video link is beyond me! She has provided us with a lot of support and advice regarding his learning even out side the allotted sessions. I honestly can't thank her enough. I just wish Jess could be Ollie's full time teacher!

Our daughter has been having lessons with Jess since September 2019. We had been through a few tutors to try and help her out with her English, as she was working at below expectation and since she started being tutored by Jess, she has made a massive improvement. Jess is excellent in what she does and tailors the lessons to our daughter's needs and level of comprehension. Jess is kind and professional in her approach. She is flexible, adaptable and always available for lessons. Jess worked with our daughter to prepare her for her year 7 entrance exam to GSAL and she was offered a place. During lockdown Jess continues to offer lessons virtually and this has been good for continuity for our daughter especially as she will be transitioning to high school in September. I would recommend Jess to anyone as the quality of her work is evident in the results. She is definitely an excellent tutor!

Our child has been having a 1 hour weekly session with Jess for the past few months and the difference she has made in such a short space of time is amazing!! Jess is a lovely, gentle and kind lady. Our daughter feels really at ease with her and looks forward to the weekly session. Jess is obviously a very experienced teacher and carefully plans the weekly session.... she covers so much in the hour! “Jess makes learning fun’, ‘can I do my Jess work’ and ‘Jess taught me that’ are heard regularly in our house since our child started attending. Before starting with Jess our child had lost all her confidence with regards to her schoolwork. She is quiet, so in a class of 30 she started to get left behind and we could see this gap widening. Her reading regressed and she panicked when doing any sort of timed activity eg times table tests. However, we can see her confidence growing every week. She is now reading fluently and is happier attempting work she previously would have refused to do. Jess sets weekly homework which our child loves doing and she has provided us with lots of tips and ideas to help make learning fun/keep her engaged. We spent almost a year trying to decide if our child needed a tutor or not - our only regret is that we didn’t take her to Jess sooner!

My child has been receiving weekly tuition from Jess for a number of months now and I am pleased to report - to date - absolutely fantastic! Our son is the type of child who is very sporty (pretty much always active)… clever in so many ways but not really ‘the academic sort ’. He would happily spend numerous hours on any type of games console (if we let him) and would never attempt any school work without a gentle push! Thus, it was always important for us to instruct a tutor to basically ‘top up’ his learning at school, keep a good track of progress; and ultimately fill in any ‘gaps’/explore ‘tricky’ areas that he may be struggling with and/or reluctant to attack! We couldn’t have found a better tutor! Jess is such a warming lady- always has a smile on her face…. her positivity definitely rubs off on my child as in the early days he often went in ‘moody’ and ‘disinclined’- yet came out of sessions really happy and confident... he is always eager to tell us what he is learning/has learnt… we hear more about what he has achieved in one hour with Jess than a full week at school! This is reinforced with a half termly report that we receive via email from Jess clearly indicating what he has been working on- and targets for the future. He now never complains about going to his ‘lessons’ with Jess; and really looks forward to his weekly slot. Whilst it is really important to us for our son to progress, it is vital that this progress comes with enjoyment- we are delighted that he is LOVING the ‘extra’ help - she clearly prepares a thorough, relevant, stimulating lesson plan that keeps our child focused and more importantly- enthusiastic to learn. Jess- thank you. Keep being you!

Jess is an excellent teacher and we engaged her for our daughter who needed to build confidence in her maths, this has certainly happened! After a term with Jess, she has come home with a school report showing excellent attitude to maths! She wasn’t keen on the idea of a tutor, but enjoys going to her lessons as Jess makes them interesting and engaging. The half termly report is an excellent way for us to see the progress being made too. Roll on 2020 lessons!

Jess is a fantastic teacher with a warm and friendly manner and excellent subject knowledge. She is one of those special people who can instantly put children at ease. She works hard to get the best out of children, whatever their levels of attainment or specific needs might be. I can not recommend her highly enough.
