Verified English Tutoring Service Reviews From Our Students
Laura - Fikir- English - Secondary
Sunday May 2025
The English tutor session arranged for my 11-year-old son this morning was highly disappointing and felt like a waste of time and money. We had a detailed phone conversation beforehand, where I outlined his struggles with grammatical errors, cohesion, and structuring essays, even providing examples. However, the lesson lacked focus and structure, which undermined its purpose.
The tutor spent much of the hour rambling about her impressive academic background, particularly her prize-winning university thesis, her 11 years studying Latin, and her work with ancient Greek. While these achievements are notable, they were irrelevant to an 11-year-old preparing for analytical and creative writing, and they consumed valuable lesson time. She also distracted the session with personal anecdotes, such as camera issues and items falling, seemingly trying to build a friendship rather than teach. This disorganization suggested a lack of experience in delivering a targeted lesson, despite her evident knowledge.
Despite our prior discussion, she praised my son’s work excessively, claiming it needed no help, which contradicts the reason for the session. More concerning, when reminded of his needs or when he mentioned his struggles, she advised against writing an introduction, even though the exam question clearly stated “in the form of an essay.” As a tutor, she should recognize that an introduction is essential for essay structure at this level. This misjudgment, combined with her off-topic focus on her accomplishments, made her seem unprepared and unprofessional
Daisy - Mia- English - Undergraduate
Monday May 2025
Working with Daisy on my dissertation has been an intellectually transformative and genuinely uplifting experience! Her support has not only strengthened the final shape of my work but has fundamentally deepened the way I think, write, and engage with academic material.
One of Daisy's greatest strengths lies in her ability to demystify structure. She helped me to see my argument as an evolving architecture - one that needed both clarity and flexibility and guided me, with great patience and precision, in building a logical and compelling argument . Her feedback on the shape and flow of my chapters was consistently perceptive, ensuring that each section served a clear purpose within the broader thesis.
Equally invaluable was Daisy's help in navigating secondary criticism. Rather than simply encouraging citation, she taught me how to engage with key theorists, and build upon their claims, and to situate my voice meaningfully within an existing body of scholarship. This has entirely changed the way I approach academic writing.
Beyond her academic expertise, Daisy brings an exceptional calm, clarity, and kindness to each meeting.
Her belief in my potential never wavered, even when mine did. She offered exactly the right combination of challenge and reassurance, and I always left our sessions feeling both intellectually stretched and emotionally steadied.I am deeply grateful for her guidance, and truly could not have asked for a more insightful, generous, and inspiring tutor.
Daisy - Ulyana- English - IB
Wednesday May 2025
Daisy has been my English tutor for the past 1.5 years, and I couldn't be more grateful for her support. She has helped me with IB English Language and Literature SL, and even stepped in to give detailed feedback on my Extended Essay when my own supervisors couldn't. Working with Daisy has always been a great experience as she's not only incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, but also kind and a joy to learn with. I've always looked forward to our lessons (especially when her cat made surprise appearances). Before working with Daisy, I struggled with writing essays. But thanks to her guidance and support, I've improved so much and now feel more confident in my abilities. I believe it's really important to have a tutor who not only helps you but also builds a personal connection with you, and Daisy does exactly that. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a supportive, fun, and skilled English tutor :)
