My eldest daughter had Sophie as her biology teacher whilst studying her A Levels and often attributes her academic success to her. Sophie went above and beyond to support my daughter, especially during the university application process- allowing her to act as lab technician for younger students in her free periods, providing her extensive reading lists and academic writing support for her OxBridge essays. My daughter is now reading Biochemistry at Oxford!

Seeing the success she had, I was delighted to see Sophie had transitioned to private tuition following her departure from the school. She now supports my 14 year old daughter in her transition to GCSE and my 11 year old son, grasping the step up in content from KS2 to KS3. Both absolutely adore her and are able to grasp increasingly difficult concepts that in-school teaching may not effectively support.

Sophie is an extension of the family at this point, being round the house two nights a week. Her communication between our kids, us as parents and the school is better than much I have seen in the public schooling system. She has built an incredible rapport with the kids, who trust her both academically and pastorally. We love her so much we have invited her to host my youngest son's (a budding 8 year old scientist) birthday party, where we will be taking part in fun at home science experiments!

Our family cannot recommend Sophie enough- she has a clear passion for education and the subject she teaches which has developed an incredible enthusiasm for science amongst all my children, and to an extent myself! Her subject knowledge is extensive, and most importantly current, helping to embed what she calls 'the nature of science' in her teaching, which we have seen really pay off with out eldest now in higher education. Affordable, friendly and all round brilliant experience, we look forward to working with Sophie for (hopefully) many years in the future

Miss Holland was my science teacher in my final year of school. Trying to prepare for GCSES in lockdown was really hard but she always paid attention to the students and knew how to help them best. Her lessons were informative and exciting, so after she left in the summer my mum asked if she could tutor me privately to prepare for A levels! I am currently enrolled doing all three sciences and Miss Holland is able to support me in all three, helping me get to grips with the course content but also helping me read widely, practise my academic writing and practice key scientific skills, which I think will really help me with uni applications in February

Sophie helped me get through my GCSE Science exam - she was always extremely knowledgeable about the topics and recommended materials for further reading around the subject. I can't recommend Sophie enough!
