Maisy - Geography
Thank you for your time this evening however Izzy found the session very generalised. She was confused that you had a different opinion of which beaches she is studying are high energy and which are low energy beaches than her teacher did. She was hoping to come off the call with a clear "next steps" plan and confidence in what she is doing but she now feels panicky and unsure about how to move forwards. She feels she was told more " you might want to think about this" when she was hoping for real clarity. Sorry for the rating but I think you have maybe just not been the right fit for what we were looking for, or Izzy has not been able to be clear enough about what she is looking for.

Testimonials
"Ivy got a 7! Amazing! We are really pleased as it was such an effort to retake it. But worth it to push that grade up from a 5. Thank you so much."
Charlie G "I can't thank you enough for all your help and support. Considering the situation when we started, I think I am massively proud of getting through the exams and coming out with a grade that is not lower than predicted. I feel so much more confident in myself and my abilities having gone through that process so thank you so much."
Charlie G's mother "I’m really proud of C given that 12 months ago we didn’t think he’d finish 6th form. Thank you so much for all your hard work with him. I think that without you it would have been a car crash but you gave him the confidence to pick himself up again after a bad paper."
Georgia S "I just wanted to let you know I achieved a B grade in my Geography which went up from an E in my January mock!! Thank you for all your help in getting me here!"
"Jonathan is always full of vigour, energy and enthusiasm, helping to develop a curiosity about the world around me. He continually encouraged me to expand my mind and never stop learning."
"Thank you so much for the past 2 years of teaching me A-Level. I have found my passion in life and I'll never be able to thank you enough. You've always made Geography interesting and fun!"
"I feel I have progressed so much this year down to your teaching, Thanks for preparing me for GCSE and inspiring a passion for Geography in me."
