Lina H
Professional and inspiring Special Educational Needs and English tutor
Maths is usually the subject students struggle with most at school mainly due to the lack of individual help during lessons. Students often don’t ask for help when faced with a topic they find hard and so they develop gaps in their learning, which in itself become problematic later on. In my opinion the first objective of private tutoring in maths should be to systematically deal with those gaps, which are usually identified within the first couple of lessons. Once the gaps are covered, we can then proceed to cover the necessary course material based on individual requirements.I have extensive e...

Siobhan R
My son has been tutoring with Siobhan for quite a while now and all i can say is how fantastic she has been in guiding him through his mathematics journey!
Her patience, ways of explaining and using visuals to help him understand, the time she takes to get to know how he learns and checking to ensure he fully grasps a concept, are all very commendable!
His confidence has increased and he looks forward to his lessons knowing that Siobhan will be there to support him in a subject that previously he was very anxious about.

Laura T
Laura conducted the lesson in a way that was suitable to my needs. She broke down the reading material so that I could read it paragraph by paragraph. She also backed it up by devising questions about the text to aid my comprehension. Towards the end of the lesson she reviewed how much I had learnt from what I read so far. I really like her style of teaching.

I would like to share my positive experience with John's English lessons. My daughter thoroughly enjoys every session and looks forward to each one with great enthusiasm. John’s empathetic, professional, and friendly approach makes him stand out, and he creates a supportive and positive learning environment that truly benefits my daughter.
My daughter has special needs, including autism and attention challenges, but with John's help, she has been able to stay engaged and focused throughout the full hour of each lesson. In just a few lessons, she has made really good progress, and I am extremely grateful for John's patience, dedication, and encouragement.
His constant praise and positive reinforcement have been invaluable in boosting my daughter’s confidence and motivation. We are very thankful for the positive impact John has had on her learning journey.
Highly recommended!
