Becca is very dedicated and supportive. Her positive approach to teaching boosts confidence and learning. Highly recommend.
Becca has tutored me from since I was in year 4 to the end of year 8. We have done a mixture of in-person and online lessons and she has been immensely helpful in each respect. Becca mainly taught me English and creative writing which enabled me to greatly improve my 11+ scores in those areas. Later on, she also taught me some Latin and Humanities so that I obtained an 13+ scholarship in my top choice of school. Outside of academics, we have also read many pieces of English Literature together, books that I may otherwise find hard to comprehend by myself. This has really enriched my understanding and appreciation for literature and reading. I am so grateful to Becca for everything she has taught me; she is one superb tutor, trust me.
Becca provided the most amazing help to both my boys for their 11+ /13+ English exams. Not only did she teach them how to tackle difficult comprehension questions and greatly improved their essay writing skills, more importantly, she was wonderful at instilling confidence in them so that they themselves began to enjoy English rather than dread it like they did before. I cannot recommend a more knowledgeable and experienced English tutor to help students excel at their exams.
Becca is a super nice and friendly English tutor helping us with the 11+ exams. Her teaching is very efficient to help my daughter sharpening the comprehension and writing skills. She is also very organised, which is very important for a tight schedule of exam preparation. We all very much like to work with her.
