Every year, when a student has completed their period of tuition, I send them (and their parents!) a Tutoring Evaluation Form. This gives me an opportunity to gain feedback on my performance during the year. I explicitly ask students and their parents whether they object to me sharing this feedback with prospective students.
In 2009/10 my students said:
‘You gave me help to structure my essay writing.
You used sympathetic and helpful teaching methods.
You really helped in my exam preparation.’
(Student A. was a GCSE student)
‘You gave me confidence. You used lots of different strategies and we had a good relationship’
(Student B. was a GCSE student at School)
‘You helped me to plan, structure and understand my work’
(Student C. was a GCSE student)
In 2009/10 parents commented:
‘We were extremely happy with your help and advice and wish we had contacted you sooner. We have already recommended you to friends!’
‘My daughter’s confidence and knowledge quickly improved due to your excellent manner and teaching ability….thank you!’
‘My son enjoyed his lessons with you very much and you never put us under any pressure. We very much appreciate what you did for him.’
