‘I was fortunate to have Sian’s support at a crucial point in my academic journey. She didn’t just improve my A level Biology grade from Bs and Cs to an A*, she completely changed how I approached learning and problem-solving. Her encouragement played a huge role in my confidence towards the final exams and I genuinely don’t think I’d have met my Cambridge offer without her. Thank you Sian’

“I went from failing every in-class test to only getting A’s & B’s in my real exams without having to re-sit any of them” 
“Sian has taught me more in 1 hour a week than my teacher in school did in 8hours”

"5 tutors. Over the past few years I have had five tutors, and none have done nearly as much for me as Sian. The role of a tutor for many is to teach, improve a student’s grades and move on, and there is nothing wrong with that. But through my hardest years academically and emotionally, I had a pillar of support each week."

"I contacted Dr Sian Foch-Gatrell in the second semester of my third year of university, as I was diagnosed with ADHD and struggling with task paralysis and time management. I advised to make contact with an additional tutor and this ended up being Sian, based on her past reviews and credentials. Since Sian started tutoring me, I was quickly able to manage and plan all of my assignments, including my dissertation and increase my quality of work to the point that I graduated with a 2:1 after being predicted a 2:2 for a lot of my third year. Through her, I was able to understand what my lecturers wanted from me, how to properly lay out a professional thesis and how to collate, sort and analyse my metadata/literature review thesis for my final semester in my third year.

"Honestly,... Sian ticks all the boxes. Friendly and professional, she became a mentor, friend,.. idol. She made the blood, sweat, and tears of A-Level Biology much, MUCH more bearable (even enjoyable!). I found a genuine interest in cell-wall permeability during digestion, and the Krebs cycle (fancy that!). A statement which sounds heavily sarcastic, but truly isn’t. I was wholly lost when I approached Sian, a student with a genuine interest in biology but struggled with the exam system; She bolstered me to achieve the grade I needed to apply for, and secure a place at a University in the USA. I am now looking to major in Cognitive Science- a student who, before Sian’s help, believed she was just “bad at science”. She gave me the skills I needed for the A-level exam, the moral support I needed for my sanity, and the confidence I needed to pursue science-based further education. I am truly grateful to Sian for everything."
