Testimonials

“We just wanted to write to say thank you so much for your help with our grandson. We were feeling overwhelmed after we removed him from school at the end of the last term. We really appreciate how much effort you put into lesson planning and finding ways of learning that work for him after he lost his confidence at school. We wanted you to know that he really looks forward to your lessons each week and we are thrilled with how much he is progressing”
