Eleanor B
Great first 'getting to know' lesson. Ellie helped Monty warm to the idea of tutoring by tapping nicely into his interests (he said afterwards that he really liked her) . He is positive about having another session next week. It was good that they could discuss his current school book; I think this is going to help him.

Hannah B
Within 5 minutes of specking to Hannah, I knew she was going to be my son’s tutor. She’s personable, passionate and knows her industry inside out. We’ve only had 2 lessons, but I can see the confidence and enjoyment on my son’s face as he’s learning. My son said after his 2nd lesson, ‘Hannah is so calm and I’m really enjoying tutoring’. We are actually so blessed to have found Hannah.

Nic H
Nic is a very experienced teacher who is able to adapt to different children, with an array of tools up her sleeve to keep the child engaged. After every lesson Nic is very good at telling me what they went through and what we should be focusing on. I think I am even learning myself on letter formation!
My daughter is a high functioning autistic person in reception, who needs to close some gaps in her phonics, numbers and handwriting. The leap from reception to year 1 can be difficult and Nic is helping me to get my daughter to a level where she will feel stable with the transition.
I was worried that a 1hr lesson would be too hard for my daughter and that she would not be engaged. My daughter is fully engaged and I am very impressed with what my daughter can achieve in her lesson.

Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down tricky topics, which helps build self-esteem lesson by lesson.

How long are the lessons and how often should my child have them?
Most lessons are an hour long, but you can arrange different lengths with your tutor. Many parents find a weekly session works well to build momentum, but you can choose whatever frequency fits your child's needs and your family's schedule.
How quickly can we find a tutor and start lessons?
It can be very quick. You can browse tutors, send messages, and book your first lesson all on the same day if you find the right person. Many tutors can offer a lesson within a few days.
