Megan has been amazing with our anxious yr6 with SATs prep, helping her not only with her Maths knowledge but also her confidence in Maths generally. Megan is patient and relaxed and my daughter has really benefitted from her sessions. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Megan to others.

Reece M
Reece has got a lovely way with our son. Reece is patient and calm and at the same time very encouraging in a way that feels real and authentic. It comes clearly across that he has a genuine interest in teaching children. He makes the lessons enjoyable and fun, whilst he is at the same time serious in helping our son to develop more skills, knowledge and confidence in the subjects. Would highly recommend.

Lorrayne N
Lorrayne was extremely kind, patient and understanding when working with my son. He has cerebral palsy, selective mutism and anxiety, so finding the right tutor who truly understands his needs is very important to us.
She took the time to speak with me in detail to understand Isaac’s background and the challenges he faces in school. I really appreciated how knowledgeable she is about supporting children with anxiety and communication difficulties. Isaac felt comfortable during the session and was able to engage with the activities she set, which was very encouraging for us.
Lorrayne also shared helpful ideas and strategies to support Isaac’s communication and confidence, which showed how experienced she is working with children with additional needs.
We are really looking forward to continuing lessons with her and feel confident that Isaac will benefit from her support.

Christy J
Christy showed extreme patience with my son during his English SATs tutoring.
Her tutoring style was such that she always kept him engaged and interested in his sessions.
The results have been seen already from his mock results. He has improved in all sections of his English SATs.
Christy provided homework in the form of spellings that we were able to practice in-between sessions.
She also worked with my son on past papers with him completing these under exam conditions.
I am so grateful to Christy and all the work and supports she did with my son.
I will be using her again in the future for other subjects.
Thank you Christy
