I have been a student of Janice’s for about three years now, and she is a wonderful tutor. Her expertise, patience, and engaging teaching techniques are never tiring even after a long day of school. Janice understands whenever I’m confused, and breaks content down into easier ways to understand. Sometimes, the way we use inside jokes makes me more productive and I appreciate all the hard work she’s done for me.

Janice is an amazing teacher. She is very chill and funny, and not too strict. Janice explains everything so clearly, my brain is full of knowledge after every lesson. I’ve been taught by Janice for three years now, and my school marks have been getting higher. She guided me for a persuasive assessment, then I got above 90%. I used to hate English because I wasn’t very good at it, but since having 90-minute lessons with Janice every week, I’m really enjoying it now.

Individualised Homework Help to Boost Grades and Confidence
Targeted Academic Support
Does your child need a helping hand with English at school? I offer weekly, individual tutoring sessions designed to give your child the personalised support they need to thrive. I will analyse your child's reading and writing abilities to create lessons that specifically target their areas for improvement, helping them excel in class and on assessments.
Overcome Writer’s Block
Many students face challenges like deciphering prompts, organising thoughts, and trusting their creativity. My unique approach equips students with the skills to tackle these hurdles. They'll learn to decode any writing prompt, confidently structure their ideas, and leverage writing techniques to express deeper meaning in their work.
