Seb D
We are very happy with Seb. He has a very relaxed style with our 9-year-old son, and he works on the things he needs to improve on for the 11+ (comprehension, creative writing, etc). Seb has also written two novels and we think it is great for our son to meet someone who has written books and can talk about them. Seb has also been reliable, always punctual and flexible with times when we need to be. We recommend Seb.
