The teaching is calm, focused and incredibly clear. My son finally knows what examiners are looking for.
The feedback was detailed, kind and practical. It made a real difference to the quality of her writing.

One-to-one or group?
Small-group classes are ideal for students who:
- enjoy hearing other students' ideas
- benefit from discussion and shared practice
- are working towards a common course or goal
- would like expert teaching at a lower cost than private tuition
- can learn comfortably within a small group
One-to-one tuition may be better for students who:
- have highly specific gaps or deadlines
- need fully individual pacing
- are studying an unusual combination of texts or qualifications
- require significant adaptation
- feel unable to participate in a group at present
