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.
