What the parents say about Tutoring Solutions:

GCSE 

"Joyce truly cares about how my son is doing with his Maths & English GCSE tuition. My son sounds more confident with his exam prep even after only a few sessions with her. Joyce has shared some very useful exam tips that I’m hoping will really help my son to succeed." May 2024

"Joyce has a brilliant one to one set up. Her communication and professionalism is excellent. The sessions in Science are well planned each week and clear , realistic targets are set. Homework is varied with worksheets and videos to watch which suits my son’s style of learning. We are so delighted to have found her!" Feb 2024

"Joyce is friendly, supportive and patient. She is also very responsive to any questions we have in between sessions. I would recommend Joyce to teenagers for science especially if it's not their passion!" Nov 2023

"Just wanted to let you know that my son passed GCSE Combined Science, Maths, English Language and English Literature with all 5's (5-4 in Combined Science) so he will be going into sixth form. 

 

This would not have happened if he had not had your unstinting support so a big thank you from us all." Aug 2023
 
"My son passed his combined science Trilogy - 2 Grade 5s - 85% mark. Really proud of him. Well deserved. He has done well in other subjects. 6 GCSES in total. Thank you for all your support. Got there in the end!" Aug 2023
 

"I would highly recommend both Joyce’s in person and zoom lessons. She has increased my son’s confidence and attitude towards Maths and English, effectively preparing him for exams in year 10, substantially improving grades in both subjects.  Becoming top of the class in Maths and consequently moving up 2 sets into a higher tier group has had a positive effect on the rest of his subjects, with a new can-do attitude. He now wants to take A level Maths!" June 2022

 Year 9 Maths:

'My daughter in year 9 was working well in class at school and understood the work, however in exams and tests she felt she was underperforming and we asked Joyce to help. Joyce is methodically going through each topic and ensuring that the understanding is good and that my daughter has techniques to remember how to tackle a question when it doesn't 'look' like one she has done before. We have a folder with lesson plans and outcomes. In this way I can see what my daughter has been working on and where she has needed additional focus. My daughter is able to ask Joyce questions and work at her own pace, spending less time on topics she understands and really gaining confidence when she 'gets' a topic that she was finding difficult.  Joyce is very supportive and caring and a pleasure to deal with.’

GCSE English Literature, Science and Revision Skills

We have been really delighted how Joyce has helped with our son. He is in Year 10 and is preparing for some GCSE's this summer.
Joyce has great experience and a variety of methods and techniques for revision which are proving to be a real help to him. She is patient, reliable and very dedicated and we would strongly recommend her to any other parents looking for some extra help.

A-Level Maths

"Following not very positive results from the mock exams, Joyce has helped my daughter review the challenging topics in Maths A-Level.  They have worked through practice questions together and she has begun to understand methods to solve problems, and so faced the examinations more positively.  Her approach to the exams meant that she entered them in a more confident manner and attempted a significant amount of questions from that of her mocks.  We are approaching results day knowing that she did the very best that she could thanks to Joyce’s tutoring and support." June 2022

 Student comment: 'Thank you so much for the Maths tutoring for the past year. It has made a massive difference! You have also made Maths much more enjoyable too and I now feel so much more confident sitting my Maths AS exams.'
