Impressive Students’ Records
"I'm deeply grateful to Jamie for her invaluable support with my IGCSE English. Before her classes, I was overwhelmed by the exam's extensive requirements. However, joining her sessions, even with little time left, led to a significant improvement in my writing. Jamie teaches unique exam tactics and creates personalized plans, unlike standard teachers. She also fosters an environment to break bad habits, like overusing similes. The skills she imparts, such as research writing, are beneficial beyond exams, helping to secure top marks. In closing, thank you, Jamie, for your exceptional support. I wish you all the best."

"Jamie helped me significantly during her lessons. She provided sophisticated materials, a structured approach (essay structure), and taught us time management. Finally, I'm incredibly grateful to her. Despite her strictness, I believe her criticisms and pressure were essential for my achievements. She's amazing, and I am truly thankful to her."

"I would wholeheartedly recommend Miss Jamie.I believe what makes Miss Jamie a good teacher is her willingness to communicate with students. I feel that most teachers nowadays are a bit hesitant to communicate with students in that way, but Miss Jamie has no such problem at all. She is very willing to help students and genuinely wants to help you improve your English. If I could say one thing to Miss Jamie, it would, of course, be "thank you." Beyond academics, I feel she has also taught me some life skills. Besides teaching how to write essays, she also offers guidance on university life and future work. She's also there to help you with any worries you might have. I feel that she truly nurtures her students."

"I'd like to say a very big THANK YOU for all your help! Even though I joined quite late, you were always so encouraging and made English seem a lot less painful! I've never imagined getting a 7 in IB English but thanks to your teaching, I definitely gained a lot more confidence in the exam."

At first I wasn't getting the English grades i was expecting, and after an entire semester I still hadn't improved. I was recommended Jamie by another friend. I like the way Ms Jamie teaches our classes in an educational but friendly way that really encourages us to open up and engage in discussions, which I believe helped me understand the basis of IB English much more quickly. Ms Jamie also takes the time to give us individual feedback and one-on-one time even during classes, which I think helped my grades improve as well. Thanks to Ms Jamie, I maintained a solid 7 PG throughout DP and scored a 7 in the finals too.

Initially I wanted to find an English tutor because I found that in year 12 | was really struggling to get good grades in English no matter how hard I tried. I found miss Jamie through the recommendation of some seniors as well as through research online and decided to try her course as I saw that her teaching has produced many successful students. One thing I found really helpful about Miss Jamie's course is that she really focuses on breaking down exam techniques and writing strategies that teachers in school often do not teach or do not teach in depth. I am also very thankful for all the resources that she has provided, including exemplars from other students.

I chose Ms. Jamie because I initially struggled with English in the beginning and received a 5 for my first oral and Paper 1 assessment. I found the gap between IB and IGCSE English to be particularly significant, as I wasn't used to the high standard of analytical writing required for top marks. During my first session with her, Ms. Jamie provided a lot of fruitful comments and tips on how to improve, which allowed me to get a 7 for my next oral assessment. Ms. Jamie helped me the most in solidifying my exam skills as well as my knowledge of literary techniques required to score a 7. Initially I felt quite unconfident in IB English as I didn't have much prior exposure and experience in analyzing a wide variety of both literary and non-literary texts, however Ms. Jamie's engaging teaching style and abundant resources greatly enhanced my learning experience and interest in the subject. Through consistent past paper practise combined with her constructive feedback, I was able to develop my skills and confidence over the 2 years, so I'm truly grateful to Ms. Jamie for helping me get to my final result.

I sought additional support with Ms. Jamie midway through Y12 realizing I have not been making any progress in English. I was determined to secure a higher grade, and was introduced to Ms Jamie from family friends. I initially expected Ms Jamie to be a strict tutor, but after my first lesson, I found her to be the exact opposite. She was funny, relatable, and lessons with her have always been a blast with her constant jokes and encouragement. I was able to relate to her in many aspects, she seemed like a close friend, making the whole learning process so much more motivating. Under her guidance, I was able to identify my specific strengths and weaknesses, and developed the ability to deconstruct English paper 1 systematically and tackle IB English with confidence and passion.

I struggled with being analytical in my writing, mainly in Paper 1. I wanted to focus on understanding exam techniques and strategies that could elevate my analysis to a Level 7 as quickly as possible, so, given Ms Jamie's extensive experience with IB English exams, I believed she could provide the targeted guidance I needed to improve my writing skills effectively in a short period of time. Ms Jamie's teaching style is clear and straightforward, making it easy for me to identify the areas I need to work on. I also find her lessons enjoyable and engaging, which made the process of preparing for exams less stressful. Whenever I reach out for help, Ms Jamie never hesitates to offer her support, which really shows her dedication to her students.

I first came to Ms Jamie when I was actively looking for a tutor ever since DP1, where I was predicted a 4 and was told by my teacher that I was falling behind the rest of my class. I found the center off a Facebook page from my parents, and decided to try her classes due to the high-achieving grades of her past students. What I found most useful was her access to a wide range of past papers, along with well-written exemplars from past students, giving me confidence in my writing. Ms Jamie also breaks down a lot of useful exam techniques, which are not taught by many teachers in school but greatly valued by IB examiners, improving my IB grade from a predicted 4 to a final grade of 6.
