Case Studies
Ailing
Ailing joined me as an English as an Additional Language learner and has made huge progress in both confidence and accuracy. Through regular work on reading, vocabulary and sentence structure, her written and spoken English are now far more secure and independent.
Noah
Noah has been with me for four years, after I first taught him in the classroom. Through consistent 1:1 support, he achieved an admirable 6 in IB English and went on to secure the role of Head Student, with coaching on his application and interview preparation.
Oscar
Oscar’s entire GCSE English needed rescuing after school disruptions left him underprepared. We rebuilt his skills, paper by paper, and he went into the exam calm and confident – and, best of all, came out with grades he was genuinely proud of.
What the Parents Say
IB Parent
“Melanie is professional, extremely well qualified and knowledgeable. She will make your child feel very relaxed about learning and building their confidence in English — and of course, this confidence often flows over into other subjects as their reading and comprehension improves. We have seen grades greatly improve. Our son has built a great rapport with Melanie over these years, and the results speak for themselves. We are very grateful. Thoroughly recommended.”
GCSE Parent
“I’m not really sure where to start with how amazing Melanie has been in the lead-up to my son’s GCSEs. She has, due to some unforeseen circumstances, practically taught him the entire AQA Literature and Language syllabus in a matter of months. She’s been unwaveringly patient and kind, reassuring him every step of the way. She has taken what was an overwhelming amount of content, broken it down and communicated it so clearly — teaching content, technique, and working on his confidence all the while. It’s been a massive undertaking and she has managed it all, sensitively identifying areas needing particular focus, managing what to focus on when, and always being mindful of how to best use every single second. She is always prepared, genuinely cares, and most important of all has filled him with confidence and belief that he can succeed.”
KS3 Parent
“There’s been significant improvement in all aspects of her English skills – but most importantly, she’s gained so much self-confidence. I will definitely recommend Melanie’s course to other parents. She not only teaches knowledge, but is also an excellent guide in the growth of children.”
