 Isabel is committed to making sure that her students succeed. She is a dedicated and proactive tutor who communicates incredibly effectively not only with her students, but also with parents/carers so that they are kept well-informed about their child's progress and areas for development.

 I’m very happy with her way of teaching, she doesn’t go too fast that you can’t catch up, but still goes fast enough that you learn something every lesson. I’ve learned a lot from here and would recommend her to others!

 Hello Isabel. I hope you are well. Ryan has had the results back from listening and reading. I'm am very pleased with him, and very grateful to you for all of your support. In listening, he has gone from a U (3 marks away from a grade) to a Grade 8! In reading, he has gone from a U (1 mark away from a grade) to a Grade 5! It is such a huge improvement after just 7 weeks. Thank you again for all of your support.

 Before I started my lessons with Isabel, Spanish was a real nightmare and I was only getting U in my mock exams. I didn't want to do anything with Spanish anymore. However, my mother encouraged me to take 1:1 classes with a tutor. Luckily for me, Isabel is not only a Spanish teacher but also a SEN teacher. She did what no teacher had ever done before, teaching me Spanish and at the same time teaching me strategies to improve my dyslexia. In my last mock exam I got grade 8, I am extremely happy, I never thought I would achieve it, I am extremely grateful. Isabel is superb tutor, highly recommended.

 Isabel is a very kind and helpful Spanish teacher. She helped my daughter with her GCSE higher tier on one-to-one lessons. She was very motivating and my daughter was very happy to attend her lessons. She also prepared very detailed revision notes / exercises for speaking, writing, reading, listening as well as translating. Before speaking exam, she focused practicing speaking with my daughter which helped her building much more confident during her real exam. She was also willing to arrange extra lessons when she found specific areas that my daughter might need more practicing. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks for her exceptional teaching. Highly recommended!

 Isabel has been instrumental in supporting my daughter's Spanish learning journey. With her expert guidance and carefully tailored exam practice, my daughter has grown significantly in both confidence and ability. Isabel's patience, enthusiasm, and encouraging teaching style have made a real difference. We're truly grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to anyone whose child is finding GCSE Spanish challenging. Thank you so much for your all help Isabel.

 I really recommend Isabel! I got in touch with her after my son's 1st GCSE mock exam results were a little disappointing with the hope she could help him improve. She has provided really great 1-1 tuition, being patient, providing great feedback and my son always looks forward to the lessons! The result being my son's second mock results were 2 grades higher! I'm really thankful to have found her!
