Recommendation 

 Hi Amy!
 I just wanted to say thank you so much for everything over the past year. A year ago my academic confidence was really low and I couldn’t see myself ever being able to achieve past a 4. I’m really thankful for all of your lessons as they have shown me I am capable of getting good grades as long as I put the effort in. Whatever I get on results day I will be happy with as I genuinely think I’ve done my best.
 I’ll really miss our lessons as I feel like I have learned a lot for them.

Thank you so much for everything and I’ll let you know how everything goes on results day!
Also RE went well today! The questions were all good and I did well on my timings.

My daughter is currently doing GCSE Religion,philosophy and Ethics with Amy and has told me that she enjoys the course!

She is actively engaged in the discussions of different religions and philosophies.She often comes to me with questions and opinions regarding points made in the discussion.

overall it has given her much more interest in religion and ethics than she may of had before.

Amy clearly has great knowledge of the subject, and is an excellent neutral conversation leader!
