Beam Tuition found us a fantastic English tutor

Hettie from Beam did a brilliant job in matching my daughter with Cecilia an English tutor.
Cecilia has helped Imogen no end, she is so enthusiastic & makes learning fun. Imogen is enjoying English again which as a parent is a joy to see & the added bonus of an improvement in grades. Many Thanks

Sophy has been a wonderful tutor for our daughter. She helped her gain much more confidence in both Maths and English and provided excellent support while preparing for the 11+ exam. Sophy is very patient, reassuring, and always open to suggestions. She has a great ability to break down difficult topics and explain them in a simple, easy-to-understand way. We have seen a real improvement in our daughter’s confidence and understanding. We would definitely recommend working with Sophy.

Hettie is such an amazing tutor!

Hettie is such an amazing tutor! We started tutoring with her abroad knowing that we would return to the UK and that we wanted to try to get my son into a grammar school. She was so kind and supportive of my son and he learned so much from her. She has so much knowledge of every topic, she is very flexible and she is a lovely person. With her support my son passed both of his 12+ exams for Torquay Boys Grammar School and for Colyton Grammar School. In the end, we took the place at Colyton and he is a very proud student there. All of this would not have been possible if not for Hettie.

Highly effective and fun tuition

Hettie really understood our goals for our daughter’s tuition and worked very well with her to achieve them. She quickly assessed areas for improvement and kept us informed of progress. Homework was always given-just the right amount.

We’d really recommend Beam Tuition!

Wish we’d found Hettie sooner!

Wish we’d found Hettie sooner!
The maths and English tuition Hettie had provided to our year 6 and 7 children has been invaluable and we hope this will continue throughout secondary school.
Far from being second best, we have found the online format superior, providing direct, focused and tailored tuition.
Hettie has also proved (with reasonable notice) to be very flexible, allowing adjustments to our schedule to accommodate various extracurricular activities which will be a familiar challenge to many families.
We highly recommend Beam Tuition.

A brilliant tutor who helped our daughter gain confidence in maths

Our daughter had struggled with maths ever since the disruption caused by Covid, and we were worried about how she’d cope moving into secondary school. Hettie has been absolutely brilliant. She quickly identified the gaps in Maria’s understanding and created a plan that gave her both the skills and confidence she needed.

Week by week, we saw her grow more comfortable with topics she used to avoid. Hettie didn’t just teach to the test; she helped build real number sense and understanding. Maria now feels ready for Year 7, and more importantly, she no longer sees maths as something to fear.

Hettie also supported her in English, which gave her an extra boost across the board. We’re really grateful to Beam Tuition and would highly recommend Hettie to any parent looking for a tutor who’s both skilled and genuinely caring.

Hettie is a lovely person

Hettie is a lovely person, and my children enjoy spending time with her. She has a calm and kind manner and explains things clearly. Both my children got excellent marks in their examinations, and I think Hettie had a lot to do with that.

Great tutor experience

I have been tutoring with Beam Tuition for the past year and it has been a pleasure working with them. Hettie always responds quickly to any queries I have, and clear details are provided when working with new students. Both their students and tutors are of equal importance to them. I wish them the very best for the future - I would definitely tutor with them again.

From the first phone call and throughout all the tuition sessions Hettie was helpful, knowledgeable, professional and supportive of my daughters needs and really helped to increase her confidence ready for her GCSE English exams. We are so happy we chose Beam Tuition and we definitely recommend.

Beam tuition have been amazing

Beam tuition have been amazing. They assisted me to find a tutor for a client who required additional support prior to his GCSE examinations. Hettie was efficient and prompt in her response and did everything she could to help appoint an appropriate tutor.
My client had nothing but positive feedback for the tutor he worked with.

Excellent tutoring from Beam

Excellent tutoring from Beam. Hettie was a lovely, kind, encouraging tutor. Always on time and always great communication skills. My daughter found each lesson interesting and appropriate for her level of understanding but was also encouraged to push her learning further. Would highly recommend.

A great success.

From my first enquiry with Hettie, to both my children having tuition, it’s been fantastic. Great communication with the tutors. Although I had my reservations about online tuition it’s been a great success. Both the kids get on really well with Jane & Cecilia & my daughter’s confidence in maths has come on so much she’s even moved up a set. Overall I’m extremely happy.

Calm, responsive, informative and connected

Hettie was wonderfully responsive and informative, connecting with our daughter quickly over the Teams call. It was reassuring to have someone so skilled in navigating the 13+ system and who was able to provide clear advice and guidance. As result our daughter felt far more prepared and calm for the exam than she would have been otherwise. Thank Hettie you for your support.

Sophy is an excellent tutor

Sophy is an excellent tutor. She worked with my son to help him pass the 11+ assessments. Her role wasn’t limited to academic support; she also provided psychological encouragement. His self-esteem improved significantly, and his levels in English and math increased considerably. He misses her classes very much now. She is truly a great teacher.

Great experience for us

We had an amazing experience with Beam Tuition. Hettie is very knowledgeable, patient and caring. My child needed some extra help in some maths and Hettie has always been available to tailor her sessions accordingly. Feedback is also very regular at the end of each lesson and (big plus here) is always honest. Not one of those tutors that would tell you anything just to sign you up.
