Do you think that Lizzie is dedicated to providing engaging and educational tutorials for your child(red)?
Lizzie is exceptional - a truly engaging, caring but disciplined teacher
Did you find a difference between the online and face to face lessons? Which do you prefer?
My older son missed Lizzie’s presence during lockdown. He really cared for her as we all did. She’s a joy to be around. The online lessons worked great but on top of school online lockdown lessons we all missed real human contact. Now our younger son is actually back in school he has started lessons with Lizzie but online - so Lizzie is supplementing v his actual in school lessons online and it’s working great. I’d say Lizzie gives her all to each lesson whether it’s online or in person. There is NO change in quality. We all just miss her smiles!
What do you think Lizzie could do to make her lessons better?
Nothing she’s fabulous
Do you think Lizzie's lessons are reasonable value for money?
Absolutely!
Any other comments about Lizzie's lessons?
Many of us were so grateful for Lizzie in lockdown and prior - she’s kept many of my friends children aiming high! She’s rejuvenated my youngest's love of maths and given my oldest the confidence in himself to achieve great grades.. every child should have a Lizzie in their lives!
Would you recommend Lizzie as a tutor?
Absolutely and we have!

My son felt anxious at the beginning - Lizzie just knew how to put him at ease- he opened up to her about theAcademic Areas he had to work on!
Do you think that Lizzie has helped to build your child(ren)'s confidence with maths or in general towards school work?
Definetly - Lizzie has a very special way in explaining subjects to my son, in a clear way- she is firm but gentle In getting my son to perform well in the lessonsMy son looks forward to the sessions and he understands so much more!
Do you think that Lizzie is dedicated to providing engaging and educational tutorials for your child(red)?
Lizzie communicates with me between lessons which is invaluable - sending over exam papers or information which she thinks will be useful for my son to work on - she asks my son preferred areas of development then builds from there -Lizzie uses PowerPoints - bringing in exam questions and interesting facts into the sessions - just what is needed by my son.
What do you think Lizzie could do to make her lessons better?
Just keep on doing what she is doing - the lessons are fantastic

In the first few lessons with Lizzie, how well did your child(red) respond to their sessions?
Lizzie was fun and engaging from the start and my child was at ease and enjoyed the sessions from the start.
Do you think that Lizzie has helped to build your child(ren)'s confidence with maths or in general towards school work?
My son has an identified learning difficulty with maths. This really eroded his confidence and his anxiety affected other areas of life too. The support and encouragement Lizzie gives my son has really improved his maths ability, but has also increased his confidence and reduced his anxiety.
Do you think that Lizzie is dedicated to providing engaging and educational tutorials for your child(red)?
Lizzie makes my son work hard and pushes his learning appropriately for him. The sessions are engaging. My sons maths abilities have improved enormously and Lizzie never makes him feel inadequate or that he’s not good enough.
What do you think Lizzie could do to make her lessons better?
My son could do with a bit of follow up work to do between sessions.
Do you think Lizzie's lessons are reasonable value for money?
Lizzie is great value for money.
Any other comments about Lizzie's lessons?
I’ve also been really pleased with how Lizzie has integrated my sons learning with what he’s learning at school and her willingness to engage with his teacher at school.
Finally, would you recommend Lizzie as a tutor?
I would recommend Lizzie without hesitation. She is patient and encouraging but also moves my sons learning forward and really develops his understanding, ability and confidence.

How did you first hear about Lizzie as a tutor?
I heard from a close friend with children a similar age to mine.
In the first few lessons with Lizzie, how well did your child(red) respond to their sessions?
My son clicked with Lizzie and online learning straight away. I was so pleased. My son responded very well to a one to one where the focus was just on him. Instead of a large class size of 30 it was like having the teacher’s undivided attention.
Do you think that Lizzie has helped to build your child(ren)'s confidence with maths or in general towards school work?
Yes absolutely. My son will need Maths and Physics moving forward and will quite likely study these subjects at A-Level. Lizzie is helping my son to understand any topics he struggles with.
Do you think that Lizzie is dedicated to providing engaging and educational tutorials for your child(red)?
Yes absolutely. Lizzie asks us which topics are currently being tested and focuses, in a manner that sparks interest with my son, Currently, for GSCE, past papers are being looked at in Y10 thus keeping my son, hopefully ahead of the game. Lizzie also invites the parents, if they wish, to join a session if they have any concerns or are just curious. My son’s father joined in on one session and was suitably impressed.. Not only with Lizzies’s teaching but also with the way our son responded - in a way difficult for us as parents to facilitate.
What do you think Lizzie could do to make her lessons better?
So far, I haven’t found anything. The lessons are booked via an online calendar and can be booked in any one month. My son grades are kept high, he seems very happy and so therefore am I.
Do you think Lizzie's lessons are reasonable value for money?
Yes I do.
Any other comments about Lizzie's lessons?
Lizzie is like everyone’s best memorable school teacher. The one that gets the best out of you. The one that will be remembered.
Would you recommend Lizzie as a tutor?
Without hesitation. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank her for her ongoing best efforts.

Would you recommend Lizzie as a tutor?
Yes Lizzie saved us!! Trying to support my daughter with her maths was impacting on our relationship but Lizzie has been able to support and build maths confidence and ability far better than I have and I can focus on being a mum and not a maths tutor (which was a bit of challenge anyway!)
