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 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 :)
