WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Sophie G
GCSE French
“Before our son started online sessions with Gemma he really had fallen out of love with French and we were worried he would fail his GCSE. After only a few sessions his school noticed a difference in his attitude and his marks. And he’s continued to improve. He enjoys the sessions, has re-engaged with the language and we look forward to a decent mark at GCSE! This is down to Gemma who is not only a great teacher - but she makes the sessions fun. Thank you Gemma!.”
Lara M
A-Level French
"Gemma has given me a huge boost in not only my grades but also my confidence, and reminded me why I chose French A-level. She has tailored her lessons to my needs, and I always look forward to them as her enthusiasm, even for grammar, is infectious"
Laura G
GCSE Spanish
“At her first session Gemma made her feel comfortable and at ease. Gemma assessed my daughter's strengths and weaknesses with the syllabus and developed a comprehensive strategy for ensuring the best possible exam result. Gemma is extremely knowledgeable and was able to cover all aspects of the exam in depth. Gemma was patient and fully committed to my daughter's learning at every session. I highly recommend Gemma as a tutor, her teaching is outstanding”
