I'd like to recommend a brilliant tutor... Betsy Rowlands


Recommended Posts

I'd like to recommend a tutor, Betsy Rowlands. We came to her (through recommendations on this site) to get some help for our 9yo daughter who has always struggled with maths (Betsy also does literacy / English). For us it was about moving our daughter from being behind and feeling unhappy in class to feeling comfortable, relaxed and able to keep up with the rest of the class. Already after just over six months I would say she has achieved this. Our daughter is doing much better in lessons and in tests and her teacher has, unprompted, commented on her significant improvements.


Our daughter gets on very well with Betsy and is very fond of her. She was happy in the one-on-one sessions and, when Betsy felt the time was right, she matched her with another child and it felt like a very good fit. I think Betsy's methods of getting the children to a point where they can explain the maths principles to one another, rather than just being able to 'do' the sum, work very well and are a major contribution to the success of the sessions.

I can definitely recommend Betsy too!

Our Year 5 daughter was not enjoying maths anymore and her decidedly average performance (particularly with times tables) was impacting on her self-confidence...

Enter Betsy!

Recommended to us, over the past few months she has turned the situation around, made maths fun again with her ability to run well-organised sessions in a relaxed atmosphere, whilst still challenging our daughter to progress, to the point where she now really enjoys maths and performs a lot better, which has given her a massive confidence boost!

Betsy also suggested our daughter could share her sessions with another student of similar ability, which has worked out really well as the 2 girls seem to get on well and spur each other on, proving positive for their improvement and financially interesting too, as our weekly sessions now work out cheaper! Thanks, Betsy! 😉

Me to, highly recommend- Betsy.

A year ago , Betsy coached my daughter with her writing. When she started she was behind. She is now performing at a standard that?s above expected for her age. Aside from that she enjoyed the sessions and they definitely gave her more confidence with her writing. I?d recommend her to other people looking for some support with their child?s writing.



Can't thank you enough Betsy.

    • I agree with the posts that housing is an urgent need in Peckham and throughout Southwark. But as Alice says, it’s the percentage of social / affordable housing that matters. In October last year, there were over 4,200 households on the Council’s waiting list for housing in Peckham alone (over 17 thousand across Southwark). But the developer is only offering 35% affordable housing (which means that 65% will be unaffordable). Both Southwark Council and the GLA say that a big development like this should provide 50% affordable housing.   Re-development of the site is a great opportunity to make the town centre “cleaner, safer and more sustainable and welcoming” (borrowing Nigello’s great words). Is this dense development going to do that, when it provides no real green and open space where people can spend time outside and nature can help us tackle the growing problems of climate change like absorbing flood water, cooling the air on baking summer days? Are 7-storey buildings along Rye Lane (where the average buildings are 2-3 storeys) going to be welcoming to users of the town centre? How will the development impact on Peckham’s economy? Currently there is busy daytime commercial activity of shops providing for different demographics and needs including a rich offering of international groceries and other products, alongside a thriving night-time economy. I can’t see anything in the proposal that suggests how it will enhance and empower the local economy. Yes please, let’s have a great development on this site that enhances the town centre. This means not letting the developer get away with packing people into dense blocks that turn their back on the town centre and which will be a recipe for urban decay in the long run. Peckham deserves better than this!
    • You know when you are wrong but think you're right because the internet etc? Read it and twist it how you want if it makes you feel better. I use a card as well as cash. You are pro jumping the gun and pro cynical. Yeah,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Pro cash 🙃Who isn't? Is being pro card some kind of middle class virtue signaling thing? Like jumping to conclusions seems to be. Oooh the uncouth commoner uses that dirty cash stuff. Orf with his head.
    • Using cash is a good way of budgeting for some, if they don't have the cash in their pocket they can't buy things they may not need.  Financial institutions are keen to get us to all use plastic and credit because its harder to spot when you are at your limit and debit equates to interest which is how they make money. So dear Sephiroth, before you slam people for being pro cash, maybe think about why they are and not just view the world from your limited perspective 🤔 
    • The card machine in the dry cleaner's wasn't working, so the guy asked my husband to go to the cash till and withdraw some money....
