TESTIMONIALS

As a teacher for over 25 years, Gerry has helped thousands of students to improve their language skills. Here are a selection of testimonials from students and parents:

"As an overseas parent, we have constantly struggled to find a good tutor who could spark our son’s interest in the language. Luckily, another tutor recommended Gerry to us.
We appreciated the fact that he took the trouble to establish what our needs were, to understand our child’s learning style and our aims for their future. 
We have been very pleased with the work and pace he achieved with our son. His confidence has been boosted and he has enjoyed his learning. 

​Gerry has a wonderful way of putting the child at ease and communicating in an extremely encouraging manner. As parents we admire his patience and enthusiasm.  We would highly recommend Gerry to any parent to prepare for 11+, 13+, GCSE or beyond.

In my son’s words: “ Gerry is kind, organised, fun and fantastic!”

"Dear Gerry,
I am very grateful for all you have done for me on this journey we have had together. 
Although I have never said it to you verbally, I want to say that I appreciated every bit of our lessons. Thank you for helping me to achieve results in English which I had previously not thought possible. Thank you for believing in me and I will never hesitate to reach out to you again and/or to recommend your services to any person wanting them. 
I wish you the best and I do hope we can talk again in the future. 
Thank you for everything".

"Dear Gerry, 
Our son’s IGCSE results came out a couple of hours ago. He obtained an A grade both in English Language and English Literature. We are all over the moon about it and wanted to share our happiness and gratitude with you as soon as possible.
Thank you for your untiring efforts and time as well as your diligence without which none of this would have been possible.
His overall results were very good. While I’m ecstatic about all the other grades, the ones that have pleasantly surprised me the most are his English grades. As we both know he had quite some distance to cover in order to get a good grade.
All kudos to you and your guidance . 
Our sincerest and most heartfelt thanks to you."
Parent of  an iGCSE English student

“Gerry's teaching was excellent.  He stepped in at a critical time for us to help our son prepare for the 11+ entrance exams. He very quickly got to know our son, his strengths, interests and areas for development. He tailored the lessons accordingly, motivated our son and drew parallels for our son between his effort in English and his effort on the football field. Gerry was always well prepared and was flexible, adapting his lessons to our son’s needs and our requests. We would recommend Gerry without hesitation and, in fact, Gerry is now tutoring our daughter, preparing her for the 11+.”
