Jane was recommended to us by a friend and tutored my son for his 11+ exam. Jane creates an extremely calm and welcoming environment for learning. She tailored his lessons well with variation and was happy to spend time going over things in more depth if there were any areas of uncertainty. This along with her encouragement in his abilities helped my son gain confidence ready for the exam which he successfully passed. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Jane and will certainly be passing her details on to any friends should they require tutoring for their children.

We would strongly recommend Jane. Jane has just tutored our son for the 11+. She has a lovely large room where she conducts the tutoring that has a welcoming & warm feeling for the students. She was always very positive & supportive & even did an alternative fun lesson for him when he was finding the tutoring difficult. Thanks for all your help!

Jane tutored my son for the 11+ and was fantastic! Not only did she help him with learning the content and exam techniques but she also took the time to understand how he was feeling about sitting the test and boosted his confidence when he needed it. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and hope to be back with my youngest son next year.

Jane has been supporting me with Biology A-Level exam preparation throughout year 13. She has helped so much and enabled me to achieve an excellent grade in my exam. She offered a lot of support with how to answer the exam questions by explaining how the marks are awarded.

My daughter has spent the last year having 11+ tutoring with Jane and I cannot recommend her highly enough. We think she is absolutely wonderful and the difference in our daughter's confidence is amazing. Not only does she deliver a high quality of tuition, she’s patient and it’s clear how much Jane cares about each individual student and we will definitely miss her weekly sessions.

-- Lauren, Barnoldswick

Jane provided A level tuition for my daughter during her second year of studies. My daughter enjoyed her weekly tuition with Jane, but more importantly Jane provided her with the knowledge and confidence to succeed and attain the required grade for her University of choice. I can highly recommend Jane for biology tuition, she was professional, kind and patient at all times.

Jane has taught our 11 year old twins science remotely over the lockdown period 2020/21. They have both really enjoyed their lessons and Jane’s professional but fun approach has definitely bought results, as shown by their back to school reports. Jane also teaches our daughters of 7 and 11 piano. They learn via Skype which is hugely convenient and hasn’t hampered their learning. They can both now read music and Jane’s patient, encouraging manner has allowed them to progress to increasingly technical two handed playing. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jane.

Jane has been the best tutor and music teacher for our daughter. Jane is motivating and enthusiastic, all the lessons are prepared in advance and the required files sent by email.
Jane is providing all round education with a focus on the Grammar School entry exam and her piano lessons are supporting our daughter's development. Jane is always interested in our daugther's activities beyond school work and praises her artwork.
During the lockdown, thanks to Jane, schooling has been manageable for us and so much more interesting; all the sessions have been done over Skype. After the lessons we receive feedback about our daughter’s learning.
We are all very grateful for Jane’s tutoring and support - our daughter has been keen learner but she loves her sessions and adores her Tutor. Thank you, Jane!

I started taking Saxophone lessons with Jane over a year ago with no previous musical experience at all. This made it a little daunting, especially later in life but Jane’s pleasant manner, constructive lessons and encouragement continue to make it both rewarding and enjoyable. I would happily recommend her.

-- Stephen, Clitheroe

Jane is very passionate about teaching. She has taught my daughter for the past year and has built her confidence and knowledge enough to go on and pass her 11+ exam at Clitheroe Royal Grammar School. She is very patient and supportive and I would highly recommend her to anyone.

I have two children aged 8 and 11 years who have been taught by Jane for the last two years (piano and flute). Jane has a fabulous teaching style which has given them both confidence and enjoyment in learning their instruments. She is patient as well as encouraging and it is great to witness my children learning a new skill.

My daughter has been having piano lessons for approximately 3 years. Jane is an amazing teacher - she’s very calming and patient and her lessons are always fun! My daughter loves her lessons and looks forward to them every week. She was an absolute beginner and couldn’t read music when she started and the difference now is fantastic and great to see! I would highly recommend Jane.

-- Zoe, Barnoldswick


My 10 year old daughter has been having piano lessons with Jane for 2 years and loves them so much she has recently started having flute lessons too. Her progress in both has been great to see (and hear!) and has brought her a lot of confidence and enjoyment. I would recommend Jane very highly for the quality of her teaching and for the patience, encouragement and sense of fun she brings to each lesson.

-- Sarah, Rimington


I worked with Jane for seven years and can vouch for her totally professional approach to her teaching.
Jane kept herself updated with recent developments and research within the scientific field. Her understanding of the examination system resulted in her students being fully prepared for their exams with the necessary skills to tackle the questions and produce accurate and detailed answers.
Jane’s teaching style ensures that all students had the opportunity to progress and achieve their academic potential. I benefitted from her professionalism and gained from her knowledge and understanding.
Be assured that your child will benefit immensely from her tuition.
