‘[My son] has talked more and more during classes with complete sentences instead of short yes and no answers. His written English has excelled as well. He is able to explain his feeling and thinking with complicated grammar in a mature written style. In September, compared with other students, my son has no difficulty to communicate with teachers or work out his homework independently. Moreover, he is the most confident student in the class.’

‘You know you are on the right path when you start to perceive the student's confidence towards a subject. You begin to see a positive change in attitude, where students are no longer shy to tackle a problem by different ways, and begin to enjoy what once was boring or tedious to them. The best thing about being a tutor is is knowing when your students have gone past that threshold, and are ready to embark on that journey by themselves.’

‘We were very pleased with the outcome as both our children gained in confidence and passed the entrance exam to our chosen senior school.’

‘I have become a lot more confident in speaking German with the help of my tutor. She made sure I was getting all the grammar right and helped me understand why I was making the mistakes I made and how I could avoid it in the future. The service provided is very helpful and my tutor is ready to help me when ever possible. I really enjoy learning German thanks to her.’

‘After having contributed a year of my personal experience into teaching the GCSE and A-level students, I have personally seen amazing transition from the time they started until they finished. At times, there has been a need to think on my feet and use my initiative to come up with different methodologies to tackle different individual’s needs. The amount of dedication and great feedback which I have had from them has been an inspiration for me to apply it to my personal life. It has been said that teaching is the first step for a pupil’s advancement in the real world and I feel absolutely lucky to have contributed in that.’

‘Our client’s two children were visiting the UK and they required an English tutor for approximately one month, one of the children was a special needs child. With just one day’s notice, [the tutor] reorganised her schedule to accommodate our client’s needs and began with an initial assessment and then onto a number of weekly sessions. With an ever changing client’s schedule, [the tutor] was very accommodating and worked around any last minute changes.’

‘Just wanted to ‘thank you’ for all the work you did with my son over the last year. Both of us have noticed the difference with his written work, punctuation, grammar and overall confidence with his English just in time for his GCSEs.’

‘Your [private tuition] service was completely professional.’

‘I absolutely love being a tutor with LWS. For me, the most exciting part of the job is finding out the ways each child prefers to learn, then tailoring what can be sometimes tricky material in a way that best suits their needs. I find the job particularly refreshing as I'm able to teach a range of different subjects and age groups - a welcome break from my medical degree! It's also really fun to prepare little quizes and worksheets specifically for each pupil, which will hopefully make them learn and have fun at the same time! In particular, I've loved watching the progress one pupil has made in her preparations for the 11+ exam. She really has taken everything on board and has become very mature in her timely completetion of the homework I set for her. I wish her the very best of luck, although I'm sure she doesn't need it.’

‘Learning With Success is an excellent agency that links the right tutor to individual students. During my time with Learning With Success, I have been matched with a great number of students. This has meant that I am always in demand and in constant supply of work. As a result of the communication between Learning With Success and myself, I have been able to help students from various ages who have been struggling with work, or just needed the extra confidence boost to get them back on track and excel them further. The clients Learning With Success provides tutors with are very warm and always willing to help you, the tutor, in any way possible. Having great support from the client family has made my job run that much easier.

I would thoroughly recommend joining Learning With Success as either a client or a tutor. Tutors are matched with the right students and are contacted regularly by the agency. Clients are provided with a tutor of the highest quality who is accommodating to their needs with the main target of helping the student progress.’

Choosing Learning With Success has been one of the best decisions that I've made to help improve my approach to work, the way I write and the detail in which I do so. The two tutors that I have have helped me improve in the chosen subjects which has been evident to my teachers. Since I have had my lessons, I've realised that my knowledge and understanding for my subjects have increased and continue to do so.

‘I first started teaching at sixteen, while still at school, as part of an initiative to encourage senior pupils to become mentors to younger students. Initially I assisted with art and design, and remember vividly the satisfaction of teaching pupils something as simple as pencil shading. Eight years on, I am on the verge of becoming a qualified architect and still teach regularly. Whether tackling simultaneous equations with a maths student or discussing the ethics of fossil fuels with a young chemist there is something extremely rewarding about how valued the service you give is.

‘Learning with Success is fantastic because it can draw upon an expansive range of teachers from across London to find exactly what a student is looking for. And, furthermore, it is efficiently run by people who genuinely care about teaching.’
