What parents say
about Hartwyn.

"Holly has tutored my year 11 son weekly from around Oct-April. He has always found English one of the more difficult subjects and had very little confidence in his abilities, this was confounded by a grade 3 in his mock exam at the end of year 10. Holly is absolutely brilliant, she is kind and warm and always has a smile. She has a great way about her and my son connected with her straight away. He felt heard and seen and respected. He used to come out of the office after a lesson with a genuine smile on his face and said how much he enjoyed his lessons. Holly is so supportive and really boosts their confidence. As I saw his confidence grow I was amazed at the work he was producing. Today he got his GCSE results and he achieved a 7 in English Language and a 6 in Literature. Without Holly I know this would not have been possible."

"I decided to get a tutor as my daughter had supply teachers for half of Year 9 and the whole of Year 10. Starting Year 11, she was so far behind and I knew a tutor was the only way she was going to pass her GCSE. I was recommended Holly by another Mum. My daughter's confidence in English has grown so much in just a few months. She got a 3 in Summer mocks and then achieved a 6 in November mocks after having an hour session weekly with Holly. My daughter was so proud and so were we. She really enjoys her sessions and wants to share what she has done which never happened before. I highly recommend Holly."

"Can't recommend Holly enough! In 5 months with an hour a week online, excluding holidays, she's taken my son's English Language grade from a 4 in his summer mocks to a 7 in his November mocks! His confidence started soaring from the moment he started with her and he now really enjoys English. With a solid, interactive approach that gets him doing questions from past papers alongside learning exam technique, different writing styles, SPaG, extending his vocabulary and reading comprehension, Holly covers all parts of the syllabus that he needs. So glad we found Holly!"

"Our Year 11 daughter had her first online lesson with Steph. She is a capable student who was not stretched to higher grade English in her school. Through the sensible booking system, I was able to explain her situation and what exactly she was looking to gain from one to one tutoring. Steph did not disappoint — she hit the ground running with our daughter and made full use of the hour. Steph was clear, direct, concise and enthusiastic with our daughter. She came downstairs buzzing about English and the exams! Steph was professional and our daughter felt she could trust her to help her achieve her best. What a positive and exciting start!"

"Just wanted to add a little update as today is GCSE results day and we're thrilled that our son received grade 6 in both Language & Literature when he was working at a grade 3 before Holly's tutoring! What a brilliant tutor Holly is, she has been kind, patient and so supportive of our son who absolutely loathed English and was predicted to fail at GCSE. Thank you so much Holly you made the world of difference!"

"Holly is an amazing tutor. She is professional, knowledgeable and has an excellent approach to students whatever their difficulty. My son went from a grade 5 to a grade 7 in English Language something we could only of dreamed of. My daughter is now tutored by Holly and really enjoying her lessons."

"My Yr9 daughter has had three sessions with Steph so far and has really enjoyed them. When I asked her what she thought about them, she said 'I feel like I've learnt more in the 3 hours than I have in the past year at school'. She's found Steph really approachable and supportive, with a good balance of challenge. Holly also made the service really easy to set up and get going quickly. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone."

"Jasmine has been tutoring my daughter for 2 months now and it has been fantastic. Jasmine has taught her so much, boosted her confidence beyond recognition and changed her perspective from fear of failing to excitement for a strong pass or better. We couldn't be more grateful."

"Holly has made a huge difference to not only my son's English ability but how he sees English as a subject. She has given him the knowledge and advice that he needed to access the exams. Her guidance has dramatically strengthened his academic ability and given him much needed confidence, to allow him to approach exams feeling he can achieve. Holly is positive, engaging and friendly and my son has really enjoyed his lessons. Thank you Holly for all the support you have given him."

"Holly is an absolutely lovely lady. My eldest son honestly loved her sessions and looked forward to them, he'd come out of the office smiling each week. Holly was really positive and nurturing, took time to understand my son and built a trusting respectful relationship with him. His English came on in leaps and bounds and Holly gently pushed him to reach his potential. I would recommend her wholly, and have already contacted her to organise lessons for my younger son which start next week!"

"My daughter had her first lesson this evening with Jasmine. My daughter lacks self esteem but she was put instantly at ease and had a great session. I had feedback as soon as the lesson was over too. Great communication from both Holly and Jasmine and the whole process has been very smooth. I highly recommend Holly's tutoring service."

"My son has always found English the trickiest out of all of his subjects and so at the end of last year we decided to find an English tutor for him. He really enjoys his lessons with Holly each week. She has increased his confidence in the subject and his assessment grades in school have been much higher this year. The email after each session to let me know how he got on is also really useful!"

"Holly has been tutoring my son preparing him for his English Language GCSE. She is extremely patient, knowledgeable and reliable and her prices are very reasonable. My son has enjoyed his sessions with her and has said, 'she explains things in a way that he understands.' If you are looking for an English Tutor I would definitely recommend Holly!"
