A-level - psychology Vidya was vey responsive to messages and easy to talk to when we were setting up the initial meetings. She was keen to understand the best way to structure the sessions to suit my needs. Working with Vidya built my confidence as well as my psychology knowledge, I would highly recommend Vidya to anyone looking for support!

It has been an absolute pleasure teaching you. I wish you all the best as you begin your next journey at university — it’s so well deserved. I’m really looking forward to hearing about your A-level results.
I have been tutored for A-level AQA English Literature B (Tragedy/Crime). Full professionalism, with everything clearly and patiently explained. Whenever I felt lost, I wasn’t made to feel like I wasn’t smart enough, though in the opposite, I was encouraged to go through with the problem and try to solve it. My english vocabulary and exam skill has improved throughout the few months

It has been an absolute pleasure teaching you — you should be really proud of yourself. Moving from Poland and adapting to a new education system is no small achievement, and you’ve done remarkably well. You were already a high achiever; I simply helped guide you with the right tools. I’m really looking forward to hearing your results. Wishing you all the very best of luck at university!
Throughout my time with Vied, she was always very supportive and encouraging. Whenever I felt unmotivated or doubted myself, she reminded me to keep working towards my goals. When I first started lessons with her, I was only just getting a Grade 4 in English Literature and English Language. After getting similar grades for a long time, I had started to think that was the best I could do. However, with Vied’s help and feedback, my grades slowly improved from a 4 to a 5, and then to a 6. One of the main things holding me back was my essay structure. Vied helped me understand where I was going wrong and worked with me to improve it. Over time, my essays became much concise and easier to follow. Even when my teachers were predicting me a Grade 4, Vied believed I could do better. Thanks to her support and guidance, I achieved a Grade 6 in both English Literature and English Language at GCSE. I would definitely recommend Vied to anyone looking for a tutor who is motivating, empathetic, and willing to help students improve and reach their potential.
I am extremely grateful to V for the support and guidance she provided throughout my IGCSE English journey. Her dedication, patience, and expertise played a significant role in improving my writing skills and overall confidence in the subject. Through her constructive feedback and encouragement, I was able to develop stronger analytical and creative writing abilities. She consistently challenged me to improve while providing the support needed to succeed. Thanks to her excellent teaching and commitment to me, I achieved an A grade in IGCSE English. I highly recommend V to any student looking to strengthen their English skills and reach their full potential.
I met Vied when I re-entered education at the age of 30, and I cannot stress enough how having a teacher like her would have improved my education had she taught me during my time at secondary school. She’s honestly one in a million. Her hard work and devotion to her students’ learning are, in my opinion, second to none. I’m not the easiest person to teach.. I have ADHD and dyslexia, but Vied made sure I was still able to succeed nonetheless.

It was a pleasure teaching you, D. You consistently went above and beyond, always putting in the effort and delivering excellent work. I’m so pleased to see you progressing to university and continuing to succeed. Seeing students like you thrive truly makes this job worthwhile.
My daughter has really enjoyed working with Vidya for her maths support. She explains things clearly and is patient, which has made maths feel a lot less stressful. You can tell she genuinely cares about her students and goes the extra mile — she even makes extra slots available to help with exam prep. After just 2 months with Vidya, my daughter moved up a maths set. We’ve seen her confidence and grades improve already. Highly recommend!
Tutor response
I feel very fortunate to have taught a student like S. While I would love to take credit for her achievements, the truth is that her strength and determination were always there. I was simply lucky enough to help unlock what we already knew—her wonderful can-do attitude.
I couldn't have asked for a better GCSE English tutor. She was always patient, supportive, and encouraging, and she explained everything in a way that made even the most difficult topics easy to understand. Her lessons were engaging, well-organised, and really helped build my confidence in both English Language and Literature. Thanks to her support, my understanding improved massively, and I felt much more prepared going into my exams. She always pushed me to do my best while creating a positive and comfortable learning environment. I am so grateful for all her hard work and support, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent English tutor. Thank you for everything! 💕📚✨
Tutor response
Thank you so much, S. It has been an absolute pleasure teaching you. You made my job easy by being such a model student. I am immensely proud of all the hard work you have shown—your determination and your drive are truly inspiring. You are a rare student, and you will be greatly missed.
My son has been seeing Vidya online for a number of weeks for maths and English tuition at GCSE level and the transformation has been amazing. He's really come on with confidence and ability and has even started reading books of his own accord. I'd thoroughly recommend Vidya for GCSE tuition, particularly for anyone who finds standard school classroom learning challenging.
We were looking for someone who could support our son with preparing for his GCSE English language and literature exam. Even though we started in October 25, the results are already showing as his grades improved. Our son says she has a unique teaching style and can explain very well. We are very grateful we asked Vidya for help. She could not be more supportive, friendly and flexible. Thank you! Monika
Tutor response
Hi Monika, Thank you so much for your lovely message. I’m really pleased to hear that your son is already seeing improvements in his GCSE English Language and Literature work — he’s been putting in real effort, and it shows. It means a great deal to hear that he finds my teaching style helpful. He engages brilliantly in sessions, asks thoughtful questions, and is genuinely committed to doing well, which makes the progress even more rewarding. I’m glad I’ve been able to support him in a way that feels friendly, flexible, and effective for your family. I’ll continue to tailor the sessions to build his confidence and secure the strongest possible outcomes for his exams. Thank you again for your kind words — they’re truly appreciated. Warm regards, Vidya
Vidya worked with my son in the year running up to his GCSE's. We turned to her to support him as he was lacking self confidence leading to a lack of engagement in some of his subjects (however, in other areas he was highly engaged so we knew he could be engaged with the right support). He also has a specific form of neurodiversity that, at times, could impact his work leading to a drop in confidence. Vidya worked making his sessions a 'safe space' for him to re-engage with learning, on getting to know him and building his self-belief and motivation. With her help he prepared well for his GCSE's and exceeded the results he required to go on to the next stage of his education. I would recommend Vidya to help other pupils who are similar circumstances to my son.
We are very fortunate that we found V, and that she agreed to tutor our 15-year-old son, Antonio, preparing for his GCSE exams. Initially, he needed support with English; in the end, this support extended to Mathematics, Biology, and Chemistry as well. Her breadth and depth of knowledge in teaching these subjects, the board of exam expectations and her passion for supporting the children to get the best possible results are outstanding. V impressed us all from the first meeting, which she organises to get to know kids and parents to understand their needs and shared expectations. Antonio and we (his parents) appreciate the value she brought to his studying and preparation process. Antonio sat his GCSEs with confidence and concluded the process a few weeks ago. We wish V and her family all the best in their ongoing professional and personal endeavours.
Vidya was really communicative throughout son’s tutoring for maths. She also motivated him to work throughout the year and set him up well for his GCSE exam.
Vidya is amazing! She is extremely knowledgable, patient, kind and genuinely cares about getting the best for your child - not only academically but also supporting us in encouraging my daughter to look after herself properly during exam time. We purchased a block booking and have subsequently booked more. My daughter was on for a 6 at English language in her February mocks and in the short space of a month or two Vidya has helped bring this to potentially an 8 or beyond! Parent communication is great too. Thanks so much Vidya - I just hope you are still tutoring when my son does his GCSEs in a few years time!

I really appreciate your positive feedback. 'S' has been an absolute pleasure to work with. She is an exceptional student and a gem. There is nothing too much to ask of her, her aspirations and goals are all the ingredients for a student who will go on to University and obtain a 1st. It has been an honor for me to work with a student who is eager to succeed, and I have seen her confidence grow. The support she has received from you all and the trust you have given me to work with 'S' has been tremendous. Communication is always vital, and your support has been invaluable… In August, I look forward to reading about her results. Thank you so much again
Vidya is an excellent tutor. She helps my daughter with GCSE biology and few sessions of GCSE English literature. My daughter was very confident with her Mock exams and was very happy with the results after few sessions with Vidya. She is also very good with communicating with parents about the student’s progress too . Thank you very much Vidya
Tutor response
Thank you Thao, it’s a pleasure to work with L. I rather enjoy her inquisitive nature, she a confident young lady too. I do not think I’ve ever had a lesson with L, where we’ve never used images to describe a sequence involving biology matters as well as using revision notes/past exam papers to embed these concepts. It shows a genuine interest for the subject too. L’ works extremely hard and nothing is ever too much for her. I’m very proud of her in her approach to learning and how she maintains her high grades in all her subjects including Science and English especially when sitting above 7’s . She is truly incredible with the way she adapts. I believe L’s determination will not only secure her GCSEs and A-levels she wants but also go onto a very recognised University later in life.
Vidya is an excellent tutor and gives my daughter lots of motivation when she is struggling. Vidya is a very positive tutor in all aspects and gives students confidence and is a very understanding person. She is very professional, reliable and very supportive and focussed and I can tell that she cares personally for her students and listens to their needs. She is very committed and experienced. I would have no hesitation in recommending Vidya to any student who needs support and motivation and is very patient and I am now seeing lots of changes in my daughter's confidence and motivation towards her A level studies.

It is a pleasure to read such positive feedback from you. 'C' is always willing to go the extra mile and is committed to improving her grades. It is a pleasure to work with her. I have seen a positive change in 'C', I feel she is more confident with her approach, and she is definitely headstrong and wants to prove it to herself. This year, I believe 'C' will surprise everyone and show her full potential. My sincere gratitude goes out to you for choosing me.
V has been a tremendous help to our daughter in Year 9 (aged 13) who has suffered with maths anxiety for many years. She immediately put our daughter at ease and very quickly identified the best way to teach her to support her personality and learning style. V has focussed on increasing her confidence, general maths skills and preparation for GCSE maths. She has a thorough understanding of what is required at the pre-GCSE level, the GSCE syllabus and how examination questions will be phrased at GCSE. She has a tremendous rapport with my daughter and explains concepts clearly and patiently, providing me with regular comments and feedback. Maths sessions with V are making a big difference and I'm so pleased that we found her! Can't recommend enough!
Tutor response
Thank you so much for the positive feedback. I’m very lucky to be working with S. S has shown determination, resilience and most importantly she now believes in herself. I enjoy working with S, as I always knew we would overcome her fear with Maths. I totally agree, we have a great rapport and she is no longer apprehensive to tell me if she is struggling. With every week that passes I see a confident individual. It’s a pleasure to work with S and thank you for choosing me. Also, I feel I can approach you too, and you always have time to discuss areas of concern. It helps when you have the buy in from the student but also the parents too. I’m looking forward to this year, this is when she will rise and shine even more .
I contacted Vidya earlier this year after feeling desperate and struggling a lot with studying alone and feel super lucky to have found her. She has invested so much time and care into me since the beginning and has helped me overcome a lot of obstacles. I feel I’m now producing better work then I ever thought I’d be able to. You can tell she is the type of tutor that really cares personally for her students and works very hard, she really listens and is thorough with her lessons. If you need to take things step by step or you’re someone who gets overwhelmed easily don’t worry you’d be in good hands with her! I’d recommend her to everyone! (: - katie

Hello Katie, It’s an absolute pleasure to be your tutor. I’ve seen you grow with confidence, especially in the last 3 months. This has been an incredible journey for you. I’m very proud of you, and I know you have the positive mindset to go on and achieve amazing things in the future. Well done for climbing over those obstacles, I can only give you the tools and you’ve certainly used these and curated a masterpiece. V
I reached out to Vidya quite late in the day to help my son with his GCSE preparation for English. Vidya was extremely responsive and after speaking to her she understood what I was looking for. She was extremely prompt in arranging lessons. The lessons with Vidya really helped my son in his preparation and gave him more confidence in appearing for his exams.
Tutor response
Hello, I’m so pleased to read he received a 8 for Language and 6 for literature (2023) exams ! He worked very hard with me and now he has many options available. I look forward to hearing many positive things about him, when he goes onto his A-levels. Pleasure as always …
Vidya has been supporting our son in the run-up to his GCSEs. We had a great feeling about Vidya as soon as we met her during the free assessment she offers, and from the many positive reviews that we had read. The experience has definitely lived up to expectations. Vidya quickly formed a great relationship with our son and has ended up supporting him across the Sciences, Maths and English after initially only reaching out for support with Chemistry and Maths We have felt confident enough to leave it to our son and Vidya to organise between them when lesson best fit, and she has moved her diary around during the exam period so that she can provide specific tutoring on the night before exams which has been a welcome change form our son just studying alone. In our case, the tutoring was to support an already highly motivated , well organised student, giving him the extra bit of exam coaching, bespoke tutoring and support to reach his best potential in his GCSEs. We would have no hesitation in recommending Vidya to other families. Our son has frequently commented that the lessons have been very useful and enjoyable. Vidya is a very committed and experienced tutor who goes the extra mile to support her students - we have even had printed material dropped off to our house by Vidya’s husband to support the online sessions. Big thanks Vidya , it’s been a real help having you support our son.

Hello, Thank you ever so much for leaving a review. I feel your comments have been very generous. Working with J was an absolute pleasure, his lessons went seamless, and I also believe this is because of him. J has a can do attitude and he is always jovial, it helps when the student is motivated and goes the extra mile. He has one of those personas which makes him versatile and he is willing to adapt and carry out further research, revision once the lesson has finished. Nothing was too much trouble for J, he is very driven. Very rare I come across a student who has all the above characteristics. I’ve worked with a number of of students over the years, and he is a gem. He’s never late on purpose, he will let me know if he is struggling, additionally keeps all communication levels open and finally utilises the times he has but values my input. Paying for tuition for our children is a expensive and luxury item for most, he has never wasted any of his lessons or not shown up. I also believe that J is grateful to you for giving him this opportunity to thrive and close minor gaps due to confidence levels . Honestly … whoever J has in Further Education will be lucky to have him in their classroom. Wishing you all a wonderful summer, and I really can’t thank you enough Paul for allowing me to work with J. It’s been a pleasure … oh yes duly noted that my husband dropped off papers hahahah I’ve let him know how appreciative you all are.
Vidya has been incredibly helpful and supportive for my child with her A’Level. She has been flexible and has gotten to know my child and how they best work/learn to help them develop individually. I would highly recommend Vidya as a tutor.
