Gracie enjoys her sessions with Michelle. She is kind and explains things well - she makes her feel better about her ability. Builds her confidence. Really happy to have found a tutor who relates so well to my daughter and helps her achieve again!
Bhauvna did a wonderful job helping our son with his GCSE Business Studies, he really enjoyed working with her and outperformed his MEA by 2 grades, would very happily recommend.
We approached ‘Up your grade’ as my son was finding that his maths wasn’t progressing as he’d hoped despite doing extra learning. I had a chat with Andy very soon after I reached out. The conversation with him allowed me to share what I felt my son needed from a tutor. He really took the time to understand where things had become difficult for my son, and took the time to really think about what a tutor can work on with him to also build confidence, resilience and motivation. My son has had maths tuition now since April, and I feel it has made a real difference! Our tutor is so experienced and knowledgeable. She is also skilled at building confidence and has taken the time to build a good rapport with my son, which I feel, really enhances his lessons. Overall, my experience with Up your grade couldn’t have been better! Highly recommend.!
Had a great meeting with Andy - he really helped me understand my priorities to move forward. He was also kind enough to provide some resources to get me started. Thanks you!
I have been tutored by Sam Blakey for psychology for about 4 months now and sadly just finished my final ever lesson with him. I'm writing to tell you how amazing I have found my lessons with Sam. He has increased my confidence massively In psychology, as well as my knowledge. He manages to make very hard stuff seem so simple through associating key terms with football or movies that make it easier to understand. He is an amazingly likeable guy as well and I'm going to miss my lessons with him. He didn't tell me to write this review or anything, but I just wanted to do it to show my gratitude towards him and to raise awareness about him to other psychology students like I was.
I would highly recommend Helen Morriss as a history tutor. She helped preparing our son for his GSCE history exams and was knowledgeable, well paced and our son enjoyed working with her.
I just wanted to give some feedback about how amazing Danielle Sutherland, of Up Your Grade Tutors, has been as a science tutor to our daughter. Honestly, I couldn’t speak more highly of her - so dedicated, inspirational and thoughtful. She’s made all the difference to our daughter’s grades, and even inspired her to study science at A level. I couldn’t speak more highly of Danielle.
