Iain M
Iain has helped to tutor my 10 year old for the last 3 months to help prepare him for a common entrance exam. My son had all the enthusiasm to engage in additional lessons that a typical 10 year old would have but Iain was quick to figure my son out and won him over so lessons never became a chore.
Iain identified the areas that needed improvement and boosted my son’s confidence. My son went from scoring 15/40 in weekly maths tests to 35/40.
We are yet to get the results of the exam but he helped my son’s confidence hugely and has helped to consolidate the skills he has been taught at primary school. Thankyou so much.
