Andrew · ★★★★★ · about Eileen R.
I can wholeheartedly recommend Eileen as a tutor. My son started his Ancient History and Archeology course at university and in the first few weeks it was obvious he was really struggling with Ancient Greek language. Having not studied any languages at either GCSE or A level, he found it very difficult to get to grips with. The amount of time he was spending trying to learn it was compromising his other topics and he was incredibly anxious. We found Eileen on first tutors and it was the best thing we could have done. She started at the basics and gave a strong foundation to build on, and this had an immediate positive impact. By the end of the year, the module my son was hoping to pass, he managed to get into the grade boundary of a 1st. Realistically, if he did not have Eileen there as constant support, he would not have passed, meaning he would not have been able to select the advanced level Greek Language in year two which is needed to progress onto the MA which he wants to do. The course of his study would have changed. He would not have done as well in his other year one modules either, as prior to Eileen helping, it was all consuming with his time. Eileens knowledge on Ancient History was also helpful in guiding him towards books for other topics and she also related the history of the language to other topics helping to bring more context to what he was learning. On top of this, my son has autism and is very quiet and introvert. Eileen has navigated this beautifully and he really looks forward to his sessions and always takes a lot from them not only in terms of the information, but from the confidence Eileen helps to build. You should have no doubts or any reservations about reaching out to Eileen if you need some extra support.
