Sara C
Sara has been fantastic with my 5-year-old. I initially shared my concerns about Dawud’s reading and maths, and she reassured me that with the right support, he would improve and be ready for the phonics screening. I noticed a significant boost in his confidence and reading ability even after the first session. Highly recommended — she is both skilled and very kind.

Emma J
We’re very happy to have Teacher Emma as our son’s Phonics teacher. She is very encouraging and patient, which makes a big difference. As we’ve just moved to the UK and English is not our first language, we truly appreciate how smoothly our son is able to learn with her.

Emma has been teaching my son (aged 6) and daughter (aged 3) over the last two months. Emma has been fantastic at maintaining their attention given their age and also making the lessons fun and engaging. Our children have already made exceptional progress given the short time she has spent with them! Thank you so much Emma :)

Lily E
Lily is a kind, patient, and thoughtful teacher. She understands how to support my autistic child and always gives them the time they need to think and respond without pressure.
Her lessons are engaging and well structured, and she also helps children understand feelings, kindness, and how to treat others with respect. My child genuinely enjoys learning with Lily and always looks forward to their lessons. We really appreciate the care and understanding Lily brings to her teaching.

My daughter Ariya has been taking lessons with Joanne for more than 6 months now and she(my daughter) has improved in her phonics and reading so much. Joanne is so kind, patient and a super fun teacher. They started when my daughter was 5 and I was a bit worried with how she would handle online tutoring but Joanne makes it seamless and Ariya is right there with her the entire time. 10/10 teacher!
