Testimonials
Hayley is a fantastic tutor. She ensured she taught according to the relevant syllabus and topics. She planned her lesson and resources in advance. She engaged my daughter in the learning and ensured she had retained it through quizzing and exam questioning. She also supported my daughter in making revision mind maps. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed the lesson and is looking forward to continuing them.

Hayley made lessons interesting and engaging. I was able to increase my grade from a predicted C to an A through weekly lessons with her. She had a great knowledge of the topics and the mark schemes and was able to teach me how to structure each exam question so that I could reach the top levels.
