Marienna: published writer offering fun, supportive & participatory English & Communications tutoring, all levels

In the two years she tutored my sons she was a great help to them in their KS3 and GCSE English and History studies. I found Marienna to be a very reliable and effective private tutor. She has a great understanding of her subjects which is clear from her teaching. With her guidance they both achieved the highest grades andwe feel lucky to have her to call upon when we need to.

Marienna tutored me online via skype through my A-levels to help with coursework and essay writing. She has a really good way of working with me to help me pick out my own arguments and make them clear and strong. She was always very patient and understanding in our sessions and flexible about when we worked and for how long. I found it easier to work in half-hour slots so that's what we did. I always looked forward to our lessons and they definitely helped improve my grades.

I needed public speaking training for an inter-collegiate competition with our debating society. I loved debate but once there was an audience I'd lose my voice - sometimes literally! In just a couple of sessions Marienna was able to get at the root of that and help me overcome that fear. We did lots of body work, lots of laughing. I learned stress-management techniques I've also found really useful in job interviews since. And she came to support me on the day which meant a lot.

“I highly recommend Marienna as an English tutor. Nathan was struggling with KS3 English when I reached out for tutoring. I was immediately impressed by her approach, by how much she listened to me as well as the dedication she showed my son. What I was able to tell her about his learning style and challenges at school became a core part of her approach as a tutor and her passion for the subject really brought it to life for him. His grades are improving - and so his his attitude!

“While Marienna was tutoring me through A-level politics I discovered such a passion for the subject that I'm now studying it at Southampton University. She was so supportive and really helped me to think critically for myself. As well as providing support for coursework and exam revision, she was with me every step of the way through the process of applying for university. I'll always be grateful, she helped set the course for my whole career.
