My son started tutor classes with…

My son started tutor classes with Hailey last year, and I’m really happy with the progress he has made. One of the nicest things for me has been hearing him talk about how much more confident he feels since starting with Hailey.

Hailey has been so patient, kind and encouraging. She has a lovely way of explaining things that helps him understand and feel comfortable enough to ask questions when he needs to.

We’ve also seen the difference at school, he has moved up on tables in his class, which has given him a real boost. It’s been really lovely to watch his confidence grow, and I’m very grateful for all the support and encouragement Hailey has given him.

Hayley has been an incredible tutor for my daughter. For the last nine months, Hayley has provided English tutoring for my daughter as she approaches her GCSEs. She has given my daughter so much confidence and her predicted grades are 2+ plus higher then when we started with her. She is kind patient and my daughter has really enjoyed each week with her.

My son had some tutoring sessions before an entrance exam. Hayley took time over the Christmas break to fit in these last minute sessions for my son.

This is what he had to say:- “Hayley is very kind and motivating. If I struggled with a question then she explained it very simply until I understood. I really enjoyed my sessions and they helped when I sat my entrance exams”.

In Feb, my son received an offer from his chosen school. We were all delighted! 🤩

Maths tutoring has made such a difference.

My daughter has been tutored by Hayley for Maths for the last year and a half. Prior to working with Hayley, my daughter was really struggling and because of this her confidence had significantly reduced when it came to completing her work, leading to maths anxiety as well as doubting her ability.

I can honestly say that since she has been working with Hayley, there has been a significant improvement in her understanding of maths and her approach to completing her school work. She has also moved sets at school, which she never thought would be possible.

I really appreciate that Hayley has taken the time to get to know my daughter and understands her well and is supportive of her needs. Hayley is great at giving feedback and suggestions and is warm, friendly and approachable. She has built a lovely rapport and relationship with my daughter.

Because of this, my daughter is continuing to make great progress and is proud of her efforts and achievements, as are we. I would definitely recommend Hayley if you are thinking of tutoring support for your child because it has made a difference !

Exceptional tutor

We have been absolutely delighted with the difference Hayley’s tutoring has made to our 8 year old daughter. We were initially unsure about using a tutor but looked for one because our daughter was finding school difficult and her confidence was low. Working with Hayley has not only very quickly improved her grasp of maths and English and increased her confidence vastly, but has started to develop in our daughter an enjoyment in learning which is a delight to see! Hayley is so enthusiastic and has a natural rapport with children - our daughter never complains about having her session and Hayley manages to retain her attention for a whole hour which we are very impressed with. Hayley takes a real interest in the children she teaches, and even arranged an extra free session for younger students on caring for cats run by Cats Protection which our daughter absolutely loved. Hayley speaks to us after each session to let us know what our daughter has learnt, and Hayley has engaged really helpfully with queries I have had about our daughter’s development. I have no doubt that Hayley’s lessons significantly benefit our daughter and I am so glad we found her. I would not hesitate in recommending Hayley to other parents.

Hayley - very professional and helpful tutor!

Hayley is absolutely a friendly, patient and professional tutor.

My daughter, Zoie, was urgently need someone to assist in preparing the entrance exam in short notice. Hayley was able to find out what Zoie’s weak point and always could explain efficiently, she also enhanced Zoie’s exam skills.
Zoie enjoyed having lesson with Hayley very much. Hayley could communicate with kid effectively. After each lesson, Hayley would explain to us what she had taught and what Zoie have to be improved.

We are so much appreciated to having Hayley teaching Zoie, and Zoie passed the entrance exam for her desired grammar school. We will continue to appoint Hayley to teach Zoie English and prepare GCSE.

Hayley is highly recommended!

Friendly and professional

Hayley is a very friendly but professional tutor. My son enjoys weekly sessions with her. We started using Gifted thinkers when he was in primary school and decided to continue when he moved to secondary as Hayley can not only help him with maths and English but also Spanish. My son sometimes struggles with focus but Hayley knows how to engage him by making lessons fun and interesting. She always has time to give feedback and say something positive about my son. I can see the progress my child is making and the confidence it gives him. I would strongly recommend Hayley to anyone.

Excellent lessons from Hayley

Hayley was really great with my son. We needed lessons at short notice as he had an entrance exam. She managed to squeeze him in. Her lessons kept my son engaged and she explained everything in a simple and easy to understand way. She is very lively and bubbly which is perfect to keep a 13 yr old boy engaged. Would definitely use Hayley again .

Having tried a number of tutors for 11+ preparation, I’m so pleased we got the right and excellent teacher at the final stage! Hayley quickly identified Hazel’s weakness and was able to stretch her in a positive and motivated way resulting in passing 2 grammar schools! Highly recommended!

Hayley is fabulous tutor we have ever met


Hayley is fabulous tutor we have ever met! My son needed help badly when we were just arrived here 2 years ago, he lost his passion in learning and dare not to speak English. We tried many tutors but none of them could help my son. Luckily we found Hayley from Gifted Thinker! After a month with Hayley my chatter box son finally back in place!

Hayley works very hard with students and is always encouraging, she is extremely passionate about teaching, she cares about the students emotion and clearly knows their strengths and weaknesses. She tailored each session to my son’s needs.

My son easy to be distracted and cannot concentrate in most of time but Hayley can always kept him engaged in his lessons which he enjoyed much.
The relationship she built with my son as well as myself like we had known her for long, like friends!

Hayley communicated with me after each session to let me know what was covered and update me on my son’s progress.

If you are looking for a perfect tutor, we would definitely recommend Hayley. So grateful to have her helping my son twice a week!

When my son is ready to learn Spanish, we will sure blocked Hayley’s calendar for a session!

Fantastic GCSE support

My daughter was struggling with science in school and someone recommended Gifted Thinkers. From the first time Hayley spoke with my daughter she made her feel comfortable and relaxed. She took time to find out what her learning style was and this meant the sessions were enjoyable and successful. From the very first session, it was clear that Hayley is not only knowledgeable but also passionate about teaching.

A huge benefit to having Hayley teach my daughter was her insight into a variety of subjects. She was able to answer questions that my daughter had and explain things to assist her in having a deeper understanding of topics.

Hayley was always patient, encouraging, and tailored each session to my daughter’s needs. She communicated with me after each session to let me know what was covered and update me on my daughter’s progress. She was flexible in offering different sessions and worked with us to ensure she had availability especially as the GCSE season got closer.

I highly recommend Gifted Thinkers and especially Hayley to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated, and supportive tutor. Her expertise and teaching methods meant that my daughter looked forward to the sessions each week.

Kind, gentle and empathetic tutoring

My eldest has been studying GCSE English language and literature with Hayley since October and genuinely one of the best tutors we have used. Kind, empathetic and adaptable, Hayley has been so intune with just what she needs at the pace she needs it. We can already see how much she has come on since starting

We were so impressed we booked our other 2 home educated children into a weekly joint session for them and I have never seen such enthusiasm out of my son who was a staunch opposition to anything even slightly English related. Hayley is so patient with them both and they genuinely look forward to their sessions each week!

We would highly recommend Gifted Thinkers to anyone particularly anyone looking for a gentle approach!

Oustanding Spanish tuition.

Our son Joe’s GiftedThinkers’ tutor for GCSE Spanish was outstanding. He was always engaged, always encouraged and always enthused; most importantly, he learned a lot and was really well prepared for his exam. Thank you so much!
