Romy · ★★★★★ · about Phyllis G.
I came to Phyllis with an usual request- to help my 17 year old son resit his GCSE English exam as he needed a higher grade for his preferred university choices. Phyllis designed two sets of intensive modules over 4 weeks that focussed on technique, timings, best practice as well as hints and tips. She provided exam paper practice, corrections, feedback and homework. At all times, she was professional, motivating and helpful whilst also being demanding and authorative- vital for a 17 year old more focussed on science based A-levels. My son did achieve the solid B grade he needed. However, he also learnt to be a better writer, to think more critically and vitally- the need to properly read the question being asked. Basic things that he missed at GCSE level but ones that will stay with him as he does A-levels, university and his career. I am very grateful to Phyllis for being unphased by the challenge (and he was at a weak and poor level, as he had not studied English for over a year) and going the extra mile with addtional paper practice and feedback to me to support him. I would recommend Phyllis. She is professional and easy to communicate with. Her feedback to me was helpful throughout and my son very much enjoyed his time working with her.
