Elizabeth

When I met Elizabeth, she was on track for a 3 in her GCSE, didn’t know what to do about it and was barely willing to do homework.

She ended up getting a 7!

The moment when I felt we’d cracked it? When she completed past papers around the pool and then we went through them online while she was on holiday with her family. No one was making her do it, I hadn’t even suggested it. It was all her.

Jana

When I met Jana, she would offer every answer with the lilt of a question. She wanted to get a B but couldn’t see how to get there. She gained a glow of confidence, telling me her answers, not asking – and ended up with an undreamed of A!

Nathan

Sometimes improvements in grades take a while to show, sometimes they can be really speedy.

When I met Nathan, his best grade in school tests had been a D, generally maxing around 40%. After only a month, he had another big school test, in which he scored 60% and better than many of his peers.

Now that he can see the effects of following my advice, he is more motivated than ever.
