Study Skills
"Katie is an absolutely wonderful tutor. I have had previous experiences with English tutoring but all of them have been very medicore and have not focused on the key aspect of the English Advanced course: writing. At the start I was very poor at articulating my ideas and my marks reflected this with my average grade being a B regardless of how hard I tried. However, instantly after the first few lessons I had with Katie, I could clearly notice her skills in writing and eventually those skills began showing up in my own work. Now my average grade is an A and I believe that I am very fortunate I found her on time! If anyone is looking for a tutor, I really recommend her and I believe the price she sets for her lessons is extremely worth it as you are guaranteed to learn and improve."
