Testimonials

  • We have been fortunate to have Evie for three years now, and I can confidently say she is fantastic in every way. She is very organized and comes well-prepared to each session. She communicates well and is reliable. Evie has been willing to participate in teacher meetings, and communicate directly with the teachers to facilitate my daughter's learning. But most importantly she is an excellent teacher. My daughter adores her, and has not only excelled in French and German but working with Evie has restored her belief in herself that she can do well. We could not be more pleased, and I'm confident you will be too!

  • I had been struggling with French for years and suffering with a lack of self-confidence, yet wanted to take the FIDE exam for naturalisation. Evie expertly trained me on all that was needed for the B1 exam and had official material that helped me prepare. She also provided vocabulary for all the main themes and graciously encouraged me whilst correcting my mistakes. I took the exam in August and got 100% in the oral/aural and 97% in writing. Thank you, Evie!

  • Evie is amazing. After only a few classes, my 15-year-old son already feels more comfortable expressing himself in English. Her pleasant personality, listening skills as well as the interesting discussion topics that she brings make the classes enjoyable without the nervosity that often comes when trying to communicate in a foreign language. Her method is very efficient, so if you need a boost in English for yourself or your children, this is the person to reach out to !

  • Très flexible dans sa manière d'accompagner mon apprentissage des langues (en l'occurrence l'allemand), elle a toujours trouvé un moyen de proposer un cours efficace, tout en restant ludique, en relation avec ce que je voulais travailler. Elle est aussi très à l'écoute, et chacune des leçons auxquelles j'ai participé étaient très agréables.

  • Evie has been a French tutor for my daughter, E, since 2021. It has been an enjoyable and productive experience working with Evie. She listens well, provides constructive feedback, and is patient in addressing E’s needs. She gives clear explanations and has a genuine interest in helping E achieve her goals. On several occasions, she reviewed E’s work on short notice and outside of the tutoring sessions. E has learned a lot from Evie; her level of French has improved tremendously. I highly recommend Evie for a tutoring position.

  • In 2020, Evie Burrows tutored my daughter, then in Year 9, in French and German. She was punctual to the sessions and knowledgeable of the breakdown of both languages. This helped the tutee better grasp the language's mechanics, improving her understanding and confidence in class. She created exercises based on the tutee's areas of weakness. Additionally, Evie gave my daughter and me regular feedback on progress. Evie was nurturing and encouraged her tutee to ask questions and come prepared for sessions. This helped my daughter to reflect on her learning as well as practice good organization. Evie comes highly recommended and is a responsible and capable tutor.
