Helena P
Helena provided marking and moderation support for my homeschooling of my 11-year-old son, checking his performance on assignments and identifying areas needing attention. Her input was enormously helpful: constructive, comprehensive, and demonstrating a careful, attentive engagement with the work. She also approached her interactions with my son with great enthusiasm and genuine interest in his perceptions and progress, helping set a positive tone for his learning. The effect of this was clear in his response and engagement. I would recommend Helena wholeheartedly to anyone seeking support and assistance with primary school learning.

Sara C
Sara is an excellent teacher for my 5-year-old daughter, who barely speaks English. My daughter quickly understood phonics and learned how to decode words. Sara is patient, highly skilled at teaching, and knows exactly how to adapt her approach to my daughter’s needs.
We absolutely love Sara… but Fred is still our favorite! 🙃
