Spanish
"I cannot recommend Tamsin more highly. She has been kind, encouraging and extremely professional, always preparing for the sessions as well as setting and marking homework to help reinforce the learning experience. The sessions themselves have been of great help and our daughter has always come away feeling encouraged and reassured. Over the course of the year, her predicted grade has gone up as well as her confidence in general. Tamsin has gone beyond the extra mile in her whole approach and we are all so incredibly grateful to have found her!“
- Rosi (Spanish A Level)
"Through the use of a range of strategies to engage and build confidence, we have seen our son change from a very reluctant Spanish speaker to a confident linguist who has actually ended up enjoying the subject! Tamsin’s enduring patience and positive, encouraging approach has made the world of difference to our son and to us as parents."
- Claire (Spanish GCSE)
"Tamsin is an absolute gift who has tutored both my son and daughter to a high level in Spanish. My daughter's A grade in A Level this year was all down to the dedication of them both and Tamsin’s ability to get the best out of her."
- Alison (Spanish A Level)
"Huge thank you to you Tamsin for helping my daughter to progress from a predicted fail to a level 5 in just one academic year and for igniting her enthusiasm to continue her learning."
- Denise (Spanish GCSE)
"Tamsin was an absolutely amazing Spanish tutor to help me through my GCSEs. She was extremely patient and understanding, and improved my ability substantially. She made Spanish a lot more enjoyable to learn, whilst also making me a lot more confident in the language."
- Eloise (Spanish GCSE)
"Tamsin helped me so much with my Spanish A Level. I started tutoring sessions with her after my disappointing results in my first class assessment (in which I got a U). In my final exam (which was a writing paper), I received an A* and overall in my A Level a B. Without Tamsin I would not have continued studying Spanish, let alone improve by 6 grades in two years. I highly recommend her tutoring services."
- Minty (Spanish A Level)
"Thank you so much for everything you have done to support me. I felt so much more confident."
- Harry (Spanish GCSE)
"Tamsin is a wonderful, patient and kind tutor who has helped me gain valuable confidence with speaking Spanish that helped me enormously with the speaking exam. As well as that, she helped me focus on areas where I was struggling and gave me targeted work that always rewarded great results... she's a great tutor and one of the best I have ever had."
- Matt (Spanish A Level)

"Tamsin is professional, knowledgeable and personable. My son really enjoyed his GCSE tutoring sessions - she really helped him revise for his assessments. I would highly recommend."
- Katy (Spanish GCSE)
"Tamsin is a fantastic tutor, she took me from a predicted Grade 5 to a Grade 7. The environment is both fun and professional and Tamsin is really good at pinpointing what needs improving within your work. Without the hard work of Tamsin, there is no way I would have achieved a 7 in my Spanish GCSE."
- James (Spanish GCSE)
"Tamsin is a fantastic tutor. She is very professional and has helped my daughter enormously with her A Level Spanish 10/10."
- Louise (Spanish A Level)
"I can't thank you enough Tamsin for your wonderful Spanish tutoring for my son. He was out of practice at speaking Spanish and you managed to install confidence and ease in him. He loved learning from you and you managed to help him achieve an 8 in his GCSE! Thank you so much and I would recommend you highly."
Alison (Spanish GCSE)
"As an adult learner Tamsin was fantastic, she was so encouraging and supportive of my goals. She never made me feel silly if I couldn't remember something. Her teaching strategies were varied and successful. I highly recommend Tamsin for children and adults."
- Jess (Spanish Conversation)

- Amy (Spanish GCSE)

"Initially we booked a short set of sessions with Tamsin to help my daughter adjust to a higher set in her French class. The lessons were well planned and brilliantly delivered - even with the challenge of moving to remote lessons. My daughter enjoyed the sessions and improved so much that she asked to have Spanish lessons too. Tamsin’s professionalism and enthusiasm have supported my daughter to become a confident linguist who will now be taking Spanish at A level (with Tamsin’s support of course!)"
- Liz (French & Spanish GCSE)
"I am so grateful for what Tamsin achieved with my daughter in only a few months of French tuition which has resulted in a great French GCSE grade. She is an amazing tutor who is able to deliver well prepared and tailored lessons in an interesting way. Her positive nature and friendly manner ensured my daughter enjoyed her lesson each week. I would highly recommend her."
- Louise (French GCSE)
"Tamsin has provided our daughter with the confidence to enjoy French again. Her confidence has increased 100%."
- Karen (French GCSE)
"Tamsin has supported my daughter in her French GCSE and has drawn on her considerable experience, knowledge and awareness around the subject. She was able to adjust her teaching methods effectively during the coronavirus pandemic and despite having to turn to online teaching, was still able to pass across information effectively and support her not only academically but also in building understanding and confidence. She has achieved an excellent GCSE result."
- Jo (French GCSE)
"(My daughter's) confidence in speaking and writing French has increased greatly thanks to Tamsin's helpful, focused one to one tutoring. Highly recommend for anyone trying to learn a language."
- Paul (French GCSE)
"Excellent subject knowledge, experienced teacher and successfully helped my son (who has Asperger's syndrome and is very shy) to relax, come out of himself and enjoy the lessons. He has made great progress. We are extremely happy with the service and I have no hesitation in recommending Tamsin to others."
- Sarah (French Key Stage 3)
"Thank you so much for your help. You really made me feel relaxed as I felt I had a mental block with speaking before your help. But I didn’t feel any pressure and I am very happy with my results."
- Jenni (French A Level)
