GCSE English Success Reviews 12

Excellent communication from Sophia and engaging lessons which have been very positive for my reluctant 16 year old. He never has to be reminded to attend the sessions which is a credit to the content and delivery.

Many tutors claim to be good- too much money spent and you realise that it was not worth it at all. Sophia? The complete opposite. Firstly, her English Literature AQA GCSE revision sessions were second to none, offering unique and high level analysis points for my texts of Jekyll& Hyde, Romeo& Juliet and An Inspector Calls. Her quality really shined through, myself and my parents would both agree that her sessions were really good value for money. I would go as far to say as if it wasn't for Sophia, I wouldn't have got as high a grade in English Literature that I did. On the contrary, when my English Language GCSE grade wasn't as high as I had hoped, I didn't hesitate to request my scripts back and to ask Sophia to tutor me for my recent November resit. Sophia went above and beyond to accommodate me in her busy schedule, whilst also giving me constant feedback and points to improve on with. Now, as I await my results, although I'm nervous, I'm sure they'll be excellent- just because of the brilliant tutor Sophia has been for me.

Thank you so much Sophia, Kayaan.

What can I say about Sophia? She is quite simply amazing! Being a good online tutor really is a skill - we’ve had quite a few tutors in the past and when we found Sophia I knew she was special! She is truly talented at what she does and manages to weave confidence and language skills during every session - she always comes to each session really enthusiastic and upbeat, which keeps my son really engaged. She always feeds back and keeps us updated and is very quick at responding to queries or questions about the sessions. My son loves every session - which I never expected as English was a subject he originally hated. What she has achieved with my son is phenomenal. We have been working with Sophia 121 since March 2024 to help my son who was predicted a 3 in language and at the time I was considering telling his school that he shouldn’t be doing literature. I knew he had the ability but his school couldn’t seem to unlock his potential. My son is now getting 8s and 9s in both English literature and language practice papers!! Sophia has completely transformed my son’s chances to go to college and beyond. Thank you Sophia. You are an amazing tutor.

Sophia has been a wonderful English tutor. Her approach to learning, making learning fun and simplifying concepts are some of the things which kept my daughter engaged and interested in the subject. This interest helped her obtain great GCSE results. I will 100% recommend Sophia.

My daughter was needing some support to help her with her confidence leading up to the English Language papers, so we bought the Paper 1 course and booked Sophia's pre exam night support sessions for both papers for the mock and final exams. My daughter was writing at a reasonably high level before the mock stage, but the support sessions and Sophia's friendly, personal way of teaching gave her extra clear guidance on the techniques and structure for both papers, which she spent time practicing, giving her more confidence and when it came to the results - she got a 9 for Language, aswell as Literature! Sophia always responded quickly to emails or questions and made my daughters Language revision feel like less of a challenge - we would like to thank Sophia for her part in my daughters GCSE journey!

My dyslexic son was so concerned with not achieving a pass in English averaging a 3/4 in mocks and being held back from progressing his education but with Sophia’s GCSE revision courses not only did he pass, he achieved a grade 6 in English language and 5 in literature. We are all still on cloud 9! Her courses were not only engaging but prepared him for the structure and requirements of each question.
So thankful we found you!

Sophia is a fantastic online tutor for English, she provides excellent revision guides and helped both my sons to achieve 2 grades higher than they were predicted. Her classes are fun but practical, full of useful tips and tricks for studying and she genuinely cares about the students. Can't recommend her highly enough!

My son has dyslexia and was predicted to get a 3 for English Literature and a 3/4 for English Language .
With low confidence he would not attend the live classes but the recordings from the Easter and Revision classes enabled him to have a structure when answering the longer questions ,to recognise where has was wasting time repeating himself or not answering the question but mainly they enabled him to go into the exams confident and with a plan .
The end outcome was a grade 6 in Literature and a grade 5 in Language meaning he now has a choice of A Levels or a college course .
I would absolutely recommend to any parents of children with dyslexia as the recorded sessions can be watched at the child’s own pace and areas of difficulty can be revisited as required .

Sophia was amazing with my daughter.
The lessons and recordings to look back over just before the exam were brilliant.
My daughter especially loved the night before the exam sessions which really helped to calm any nerves.

Absolutely 5-star experience with GCSE English Success with Sophia.

My son has low confidence, low motivation in English, with only 6 lessons with Sophia in this summer, I can see he’s very engaged and even looks forward to her lessons. That’s truly amazing.

Sophia is very adaptable to my son’s learning style (hates writing with pens, easily distracted) and she keeps on engaging him for the whole lesson with continual encouragement, challenge and step-by-step guidance.

Thank you so much Sophia, you have been a SUPERHERO to my son’s learning and would highly recommend to anybody.

We look forward to having you again soon. 🥰

Sophia was recommended by my sister who had previously helped her son with his GCSE English prep. What a great recommendation! Sophia’s ‘exam-eve’ revision sessions were fantastic and really helped my son to improve his final grade. The sessions were pacey, interactive, fun and backed up by excellent print-out resources to which you get access. Well worth the money!

Absolutely 5-star review for Sophia.
This is the second time I have used GCSE English Success with Sophia and she has been AMAZING on both occasions. My daughter has just had her GCSE results, and she has gone up 3 grades from her mock exam results in English Literature. Thank you so much Sophia, you have been AMAZING and would highly recommend to anybody. X
