TESTIMONIALS

‘‘Before Alex began tutoring Sam in Year 9, he would get stuck even just writing the first word on the page. By the end of Year 11, he had confidence, and he actually enjoyed his lessons - something we never thought he would say. He achieved a grade we never expected and we can’t recommend Alex enough.’’Learn more about why you should choose Great Expectations Tutoring by reading our testimonials.

  • Katherine, mother of year 11 student

    "We really appreciated the support Alex gave to our son following lockdown. Despite an initial teenage reluctance, he found he really enjoyed his online sessions and appreciated her guidance and insight when it came to preparing for his exams - we were particularly impressed with how motivated and engaged he became. His final results improved by two grades from his mocks - we couldn't recommend Alex more highly." Katherine, mother of Year 11 student.
