We struck gold! From a parent’s viewpoint, Gemma’s very professional, organised and communicative. She’s been tutoring my son in the run up to his Statistics GCSE and he’s found her engaging, caring and very knowledgeable. He did really well in his mock exam, evidence of how his confidence has grown in topics he once found tricky and feels much more secure going into the actual GCSE papers.
