Don't just take my word for it! Here's some reviews from my learners.
Montse - London, UK
Cambridge Exam Preparation
Julie has been my English teacher for almost a year. After relocating to London, I realized the need to enhance my writing skills, as well as improve my grammar and pronunciation. I couldn’t be happier with my progress! She customized the sessions to meet my specific needs, providing me with sufficient time, a variety of practical tips, and valuable resources. The classes have been thoroughly enjoyable, and since I started studying with her, both my writing and grammar have improved significantly. Furthermore, my pronunciation continues to advance each day.
On a personal note, I can confidently say that Julie is an exceptionally assertive teacher who listens carefully and not only imparts knowledge of the English language but also demonstrates an understanding of your circumstances and the time you can dedicate to studying. Her follow-up guidance has been incredibly helpful.
Thank you, Julie, for all your support!

General English
“I met Julie Bestwick in 2020 through a Facebook group (Venezolanos en UK), and she has been an essential part of my English learning journey ever since. I took a conversational course with her for two years, during which I progressed from a B1 to a B2 level.
Thanks to her guidance, I significantly improved my ability to communicate in the past tense and gained the confidence to express myself fluently in spoken English. This progress has benefited me both personally and professionally, allowing me to perform better in international and work-related settings.
Julie is a dedicated, patient, and highly professional teacher. Her lessons are always well-structured, engaging, and tailored to each student’s needs. She creates a warm and supportive environment that makes learning enjoyable and effective.
I have recommended her to several people, all of whom have had equally positive experiences. Without a doubt, Julie is an outstanding English teacher, and I will continue to recommend her with complete confidence.”

OET
Working with Julie was one of the best decisions I made during my exam preparation. She had a clear understanding of the OET structure and requirements, and knew exactly how to help me meet standards expected in each sub-test.
What I appreciated most was her ability to explain complex ideas in a simple, easy to understand way. The tutor always was patient, encouraging and focused on helping me improve.
Because of her guidance , I passed the OET with confidence and am now step closer to work in NHS. I highly recommend Julie to anyone preparing for the OET.

KS2 - 11+/ Verbal & Non-verbal Reasoning
Julie has been amazing for both of my children. She tutored my daughter for her 11+ exam (Kent test) a few years ago and is currently doing the same for my son. They love her, they feel very comfortable with her and look forward to their meeting.
Both have been tutored via Google Classroom on video and she keeps them engaged the whole time. I have very little intervention to do as she explains to them how to use the site and guides them through the whole process of opening documents to do tasks. A huge plus for me is that she also speaks fluent Spanish (we are Venezuelan and my children speak Spanish too) and even though she is not tutoring them for this, it is great to be able to speak to her in our language.
Lessons are one hour long and my children love it. Julie is super organised and keeps me up to date with emails and reminders (as parents, we can be a bit forgetful), but Julie is always kind and patient.
Could not recommend her enough!
Sorina & son, Bristol
OET (Pharmacy) & KS3 to pre-GCSE
Julie is an exceptional English teacher who has truly made a difference in our lives. Thanks to her expert guidance, I successfully passed my OET test, and my son continues to improve his English skills for his GCSE exams. Her dedication, patience, and ability to tailor lessons to individual needs make learning both effective and enjoyable. Highly recommended!
Julie adapted the English lessons to suit my learning style and my son's needs, using engaging exercises, personalized feedback, or interactive sessions.
Also, Julie always provided extra help outside of lessons, responding to questions promptly or offering encouragement.
She helped a lot my son to feel more confident in English considering that English is not his first language. He became fluent in English step by step studying with Julie and we hope to a good GCSE grade.
I highly recommend Julie to anyone looking for an outstanding English tutor!
Maya, London
GCSE English Language & Literature
I had tutoring with Julie throughout year 10 and 11 at secondary school for English and came out with two 8’s in English literature and language! I started the sessions online and then did them face to face with a group of 2 other girls. Julie was always so friendly, welcoming and helpful with thorough and detailed lessons. It really helped me achieve the grades that I needed and both the papers were 1 mark off a grade 9! Couldn’t recommend her more, I have nothing but positive feedback to say.
Sophia, London
GCSE English Language & Literature
Julie helped me with GCSE English Language and English Literature. She was a great tutor, I learnt a lot from her. She was reliable, kind, encouraging and caring. She really went above and beyond to support me. Thanks so much Julie for all your help, I really appreciate it 😊
Chiara, London
Cambridge Exam Preparation
I highly recommend Julie to anyone looking to improve their English skills, especially for Cambridge exam preparation. I had the pleasure of working with her while preparing for the C1 Advanced (CAE) exam, and I can confidently say that her guidance played a key role in my success.
Her lessons were always well-structured, engaging, and tailored to my needs. She provided a clear understanding of each part of the exam, useful strategies, and constant feedback to help me improve. Her deep knowledge of the Cambridge format, along with her encouraging and professional attitude, made studying both effective and enjoyable.
Thanks to her support, I felt confident and well-prepared on exam day. If you're looking for high-quality English tuition, especially for Cambridge exams, I can’t recommend her enough.

General English & Conversation
Julie is an amazing English teacher! She helped me feel much more confident when speaking, especially with business-related vocabulary and expressions. She pays close attention to every little detail and always tailors the lessons to what I need. I truly enjoyed every class. Julie makes them fun and entertaining, so you don’t even feel like you’re in a lesson. Her support has made a real difference in both my language skills and confidence. 100% recommended!
Michela, London
Cambridge Exam Preparation
I had the pleasure of taking lessons with Julie for a few months, and I am very grateful for her support.
She helped me a lot with writing and with grammar rules that were still unfamiliar to me, despite having lived in England for many years.
She provided me with useful resources, and her honest feedback made a big difference in my progress.
I enjoyed my classes with Julie not only because she is very organised and dedicated, but also because she is a lovely person.
