Shannon was my AQA A-Level Philosophy tutor and honestly, words cannot describe how wonderful and beneficial she was to my achievements within this subject! I was really struggling with philosophy and she helped me increase my grade significantly so I could secure a place in Durham University. She created these incredibly helpful PowerPoint presentations which simplified complex concepts into simple, coherent explanations. Also, she provided an amazing 25 marker essay structure and explained how each criteria within the mark scheme could be obtained. Shannon helped revitalise my love for philosophy, which had dwindled a due to exams and stress. I initially felt reluctant to share my opinions within my class because I felt my knowledge on philosophy was not strong enough, but, with Shannon, I felt comfortable and confident to share my opinions, question philosophers and deeply explore topics. We have had many delightful and thorough philosophical conversations and debates. I am forever grateful she was philosophy tutor! Thank you Shannon! :)

Hi Shannon as you probably know, Dylan got a very good A in his Philosophy & Ethics. We three know how significant your contribution was to this. I hope that you and Dylan do stay in touch - the mentoring you gave him was also very helpful for his overall development.

I can't thank Shannon enough! She was really good at explaining things in a way that made sense to me. Before working with her, I was struggling and sitting at a C grade, but with her help, I managed to improve all the way to an A. She was encouraging, and always made sure I understood everything before moving on. I definitely recommend Shannon to anyone who needs that extra support to reach their goals!

Shannon has been an amazing tutor! She gave me so much excellent confidence and guidance in the lead up to my A- Level exams. And I ended up achieving an A*. Shannon has a great knowledge of the OCR A- Level specification, gives great essay writing advice and gives insightful and helpful feedback. Would 100% recommend.

Shannon has been brilliant for my daughter. She has given her so much more confidence in this run up to exams and is teaching her new things that college haven't even touched on. My daughter feels really engaged and Shannon makes her feel comfortable enough to ask questions and have the lesson tailored to her needs. Very pleased and would highly recommend.

I have waited for results day before posting this feedback. Shannon was amazingly supportive with keeping my daughter calm and focused and engaged with the Coursework of her A level. She brought out the best in her to help her method of researching. She looked forward to sessions, got very interested in her work and you helped in her achieving a Grade A “A” level. Thank you!

Hope you’re doing good, I’ve just picked up my results and I’m super happy. Looking back to the start of year 13 I was really struggling, I was getting Ds and sometimes even Es in philosophy. My teachers had little hope in me and I hated the subject that I was once so passionate about. I cannot thank you enough for all the help you have given me, all the sessions and the PowerPoints and the late night emails that you never failed to help me with even when you didn’t have to. After thinking I was going to completely fail the subject I’ve come out with an A and found my love for philosophy again, (not going to miss Aquinas though). Again thank you so so much for all the endless help you gave me, whoever you next tutor is very lucky and is in great hands.

I can't recommend Shannon highly enough!. Her teaching style is clear, engaging, and incredibly effective. She helps break down complex philosophical concepts in a way that's easy to understand without dumbing anything down. Every session is well-
structured, yet flexible so that I can focus on areas where I needed extra help. What really sets her apart is her passion for the subject— it's infectious! Which really encouraged me to think critically and helped me develop strong essay-writing skills, which made a big difference in my confidence and performance. Always punctual, patient, and supportive, she created a comfortable environment where I felt free to ask any question, no matter how basic. Thanks to her guidance, I feel much more prepared and confident thanks to her support. I've learned a lot and enjoyed the process-definitely a tutor I'd recommend to anyone studying philosophy at A-Level!

I have been so lucky to have found Shannon, her skills and knowledge were exceptional. Shannon took complicated subjects and explained them in ways that were easy to understand. She also helped me with structure and essay planning giving me the best opportunity to do well in my exams. On top of all the help with the subject, Shannon was kind and patient to work with. Thank you Shannon!
Dylan, June 2024
When I started with Shannon I was getting C’s and D’s on my philosophy essays and was unconfident with my knowledge. I stayed with her for a year and by the end I was getting mostly A’s and some B’s on my essays. She made philosophy interesting for me, so much so I started to do extra reading for philosophy such as The History of Philosophy by A.C Grayling, but this wasn’t necessary for getting good grades. Best of all Shannon is very easy to talk to and in our sessions it just feels like I’m discussing philosophy with a friend, which is what makes the lessons very engaging. Overall, she’s a good person and a good teacher so I would highly recommend her to others.

Words truly cannot describe how helpful Shannon is! As a private a-level student, I was initially worried about finding a tutor who could provide the exact help I needed-but Shannon truly has exceeded all expectations! She creates personalised, in-depth
PowerPoints for each topic which are easy to comprehend & provides all the knowledge you will need for the exams. I'm now extremely confident in my knowledge and feel prepared for my exams. Shannon has such a passion for philosophy which has truly helped me rediscover my own love for the subject! I couldn't be more grateful :)

Shannon helped my son in getting himself ready for his A Level exam in Philosophy. Shannon was instrumental in providing him with the structure and necessary confidence to take the exam. The results were absolutely significant and he couldn't have been better prepared. I can't thank Shannon enough!
