Reviews from others
Ms Hamilton set out IEB expectations in a clear logical format. She was able to give Samuel direct examples of how to rephrase his work. He still has a lot to learn and more practice to do but we are so appreciative of the practical input from Ms Hamilton.

Christina got 80% for her history exam. She said that Lilo really helped her to grasp the main concepts in order to obtain these marks. I will definately be asking her back if Christina takes History as a subject. She is an excellent tutor.
— Tessa
Lilo is very patient and understanding. She explains the work clearly and ensures that I understand everything that we cover during the lesson.

This has been Danielle's first encounter with online tutoring, and Lilo has helped with making it a very positive experience. I can see the growth and am happy with the progress that Danielle has made.
