Felicity Davidson
Private Tutor
TESTIMONIALS
​Ms R Jones, Deputy Head of Pimlico Academy
"Felicity joins my Year 11 bottom set every week and supports identified students to work with in class on the tasks set. More recently she has adopted the C/D borderline group to work with each lesson. The students love working with her and have welcomed her support from the first moment she walked into the room. They are quite a shy group who lack confidence and she has managed to bring out the drive and motivation in them to work hard and achieve. Even at the end of her first lesson, the boys she worked with held back at the end of the lesson to say thank-you and how much they'd really appreciated her support. Felicity's background in drama means that she has a very strong presence in the classroom as well as imaginative and fun ways of teaching new areas of language. She has a very positive and motivating personality and has an outstanding level of French language. She is utterly professional, reliable and communicates throughout the week with me to see what more she can do. She'd make an outstanding teacher and her work with us makes a huge difference."
Mr T Ball, Head of Languages at Pimlico Academy
"Ms Jones is constantly singing the praises of Felicity who works with a bottom set group on Thursday mornings. The students love her and she communicates 100% in French. She is reliable and has an excellent rapport with the pupils. Highly recommended!"
Howard Walmsley, Founder & Managing Director of Equilibrium, The Learning Centre
"As head of Equilibrium TLC and EQTutors, I have worked with Felicity for over 4 years and have found her professional, talented and inspiring. As an EQTutor, she has worked with a variety of students, tutoring ISEB Common info"Entrance, GCSE, A's and A level in French and Spanish with her students all achieving their target grades. As a an EQMentor she has provided invaluable support and structure for students struggling with a variety of challenges. She has proved herself popular with the children and has perfected a unique combination of being structured and firm, while at the same time personable and fun which all her students and parents regularly comment on.

PARENTS
​
Linda, Parent of daughter at St Marylebone School
"Felicity breezed into our lives and totally transformed my daughters fear and trepidation of her forthcoming French GCSE into one of calm confidence. From day one, through her infectious humour, warmth and energy, she brought the language alive. She began by going back to the basics with Millie and little by little through reinforcement and encouragement, began to build her understanding and with it her confidence. Felicity was totally conversant with the requirements of the GCSE and prepared Millie thoroughly for each stage of her coursework as well as her final exam. The A grade Millie achieved was a testament to this. Whilst the GCSE result was fantastic, what we really valued was Felicity's ability to bring a sense of calm and order during a very stressful academic year. She helped Millie with general study skills and many of her methods Millie was able to employ in other areas of her studies. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is a very special lady."
​
Anabella, Parent of daughter at St Nicholas Prep
"Felicity was able to capture my daughter’s attention and bring the best out in her. Felicity was always punctual and dedicated to my daughter, and she honestly cared for her development. My daughter was able to use that positive energy towards her concentration and commitment to learning. Felicity’s cheerful personality and teaching manner is truly invaluable, and I would recommend her to any family looking to improve their child’s skills in reading comprehension, grammar, and writing."
​
Ann, Parent of son at Wetherby
"Felicity hugely helped my son with his French Common Entrance in 4 months. She hugely improved his written and spoken French and his comprehension. His accent which had been fine became impeccable. Felicity was able to pin point his weaknesses and improve them hugely, giving him confidence and excellent study techniques. He achieved an A- in CE, and French became one of his strengths as opposed to one of his weaknesses. My son also really enjoyed his sessions with Felicity's who managed to make them fun. They had a good time together. She is a fantastic teacher, who manages to make studying French enjoyable!"
Nicky, Parent of daughter at Tudor Hall
"Felicity taught my daughter Spanish after she had failed her mock GCSE exam. If anyone could get her through the GCSE it it was Felicity. Jessica loved the lessons with her. Felicity is a vibrant and fun teacher with innovative methods to keep the students engaged and motivated. She went from hating Spanish to wishing she had had lessons form Felicity earlier as she may have chosen the A Level. She looked forward to the lessons with relish and I heard laughter throughout. She became so focussed and did revision everyday unprompted by me. We were very grateful."
Bella, Parent of daughter at Salusbury Primary
"Felicity tutored my daughter for 11+ English papers (as well as verbal and non-verbal reasoning). It was a steep hill to climb as she had received no preparation at school even in the basics. My daughter's reading and writing levels improved fast and she exceeded our expectations in the exams. She really enjoyed the lessons with Felicity, who was endlessly patient and full of great tips and encouragement - a very lovely tutor!"
​
Anthony, Parent of son at St Benedicts School
"Felicity taught our son (15) French for 2 months in the run up to GCSE Mocks & for GCSE assessments, as he was loosing confidence in the oral work. She quickly restored his confidence with 1-1 speaking practice. Each time she came she had a clearly structured lesson prepared dealing with topics from the GCSE syllabus and left revision notes as a reminder. We are very happy with the progress our son made(Mock results A*) and highly recommend Felicity - definitely one of the most professional and effective tutors that have helped our son."
Ulrika, Parent of children at The Harrodian and Westminster
"Felicity, thank you so much for the support you have provided both to Fred(for 13+ and for the occasional confidence dip) and to Camilla (for her GSCE). You are a fantastic teacher and I know that they both love having your support. It is a treat to find someone who combines being lovely and patient with being firm and organised. Your help has made a remarkable difference to their results."
Mother of Fahad Shah, Eton College 2008-2012
"As part of EQTutors, Felicity has been an invaluable, consistent and committed asset to my son throughout his time at Eton. Ms Davidson has helped nurture and develop his natural ability with languages and I have no doubt that his high grades at GCSE, A'S and A level have had much to do with her firm but fun approach as a tutor. As an EQTutor, Felicity has also taken time and effort to help develop the attitude and working practises which now see my son attending Princeton to major in foreign languages. Ms Davidson has worked with our family both in the UK and on residential assignments in Malaysia. She conducts herself with professionalism and courtesy at all times. I have no hesitation in recommending her as a tutor and mentor of the highest ability."
Heather and Julian, Parents of children at Alleyn's School
"Our son was lacking in confidence and skill, and was not keen on using a tutor. However, Felicity's first visit, and every subsequent one, was an enormous success and he looked forward to his tutorials with her. We would thoroughly recommend Felicity to anyone. She is fun, cheerful and conscientious, and managed to convince our son to work hard, with enthusiasm, on all aspects of his iGCSE."

Jo Vickers, Parent of daughter at The Harrodian, MD of JV Public Relations
"As a parent and working mum of a top PR company, Felicity's help was crucial and invaluable in getting my daughter to the top of her class and achieving the best marks possible in her exams of her chosen subjects. I am eternally grateful to Felicity for making this a reality."

Samantha, Parent of children at The Harrodian
"A wonderful French and Spanish tutor! Felicity is a wonderfully engaging and motivating tutor. She makes languages exciting for all, even those for whom it does not come easily."
Cecilia, Parent of daughter at Hampstead Fine Art College
"Felicity is a sensitive and inspiring tutor, knowledgable and very organised. We highly recommend her."
"Thank you Felicity for your unrelenting support, patience, kindness, sense of humour and support."
Andrea, Parent of children at Godolphin & Latymer and Wellington College
"Felicity has been fantastic with our two eldest daughters in nurturing and developing their French for both A-Level and iGCSE. We can't recommend her enough."

Lisa, Mother of Ariella aged 10, Queen's College London
​"Felicity has had a remarkable influence on my daughter and has won her trust and friendship. She is an outstanding teacher who feels children's problems and teaches them to deal with issues as best as they can. She is a true asset for the children in any household that are going through changes and uncertainty! I have worked with Felicity to guide my daughter through a challenging time. She diligently worked on building my daughter's confidence by helping her explore her own uniqueness, individual talents and decision making. Her time and effort in helping me in the last few years with my daughter who was 7 years old at the time has been valueless. I have consequently recommended her to several friends who have equally felt the same."
