Kind Words from Families
We are privileged to support so many wonderful students and their families. Here is what some of them have to say about their journey with us.
Katy
I ask him every week how tutoring was and he loves it.
Parent of Long-Standing Student
Mary
Thank you for teaching me my Maths. You have been very kind to me.
Year 5 Student
Katy
E**** has mentioned recently how much of school she is enjoying - English and maths as well as the usual Art and Topic, which is so great to hear and I think is in part due to her boost in confidence since working with you.
Year 4 Parent
Mary
We wanted to let you know that XX achieved his SATs goals! His results meant a lot to him so this will give him some more confidence as he heads into secondary school. Thanks again for your support.
Parent of Year 6 Student
Katy
U really enjoys her time with Katy — the activities and Katy’s approach are a great fit for her. The material is thoughtful and well matched to U’s interests, and Katy consistently encourages and supports her in just the right way. We’ve seen U’s confidence grow significantly, along with clear improvements in her reading and writing.

Thank you so much for the support you have given to X over the past year. X is so relaxed with you and your patience and kindness has meant so much.

Al passed his Maths and English SATS . We’re absolutely thrilled and wanted to pass on our gratitude to you and your working with Al which in no small part contributed to his success. So, a big thank you from us here for your kindness, patience and consistently showing up for him, forever grateful.

Mary has been tutoring my son since Year 4, and he continues to have weekly sessions in Year 9 — a real testament to the support she provides.
Her calm, kind and expert approach to dyslexia has made a huge difference to XX’s confidence and ability. She tailors each lesson to his needs and always makes learning engaging and positive.
We are incredibly grateful for the progress he has made and would highly recommend Mary to any family looking for a supportive and highly skilled dyslexia tutor.

We are extremely pleased with the help that you've been able to give to ****. Having a focussed one on one time is exactly what **** needed and ultimately she has thrived on it. Thank you again for all your support and your flexibility with home visits. It has made a big difference. We also finally had ****s long anticipated SATs results this week. We are all thrilled and I'm sure you are too- she passed them all.

Thank you so much for the last three years! I really love our lessons, and I can’t thank you enough for helping me build so many revision and exam techniques.
Year 11 Student
Katy
They got their SATS back and XX was SO proud of her scores. Thank you again for all of your support in helping to pass that milestone with confidence (and skill)!
Parent
Katy
I wanted to share XX’s SATs results and end of year report with you because we are so proud of him and can’t believe how well he has done. He was keen for you to see them too.
Parent
Mary
To Mary, you’ve been brilliant at helping me with my writing and reading and most importantly spelling. You never force anything on me and this is why you are the best teacher ever!
Year 6 Student

“Dad it’s so fun” … “we play games, and she’s so nice”

​Thank you for everything! XX has really flourished since he’s been having lessons with you and it’s helped him tremendously.

Thank you for helping me with my learning. You have made a big difference this year. I will miss our sessions.
Year 6 Student

Thanks so much for all your work with XX. He has consistently found your sessions to be enjoyable and engaging, which is no mean feat considering his attitude to learning in general!
Parent of long standing student

Thanks so much for your support for XX over the last term. He has found it really helpful.
Parent
Mary
Thank you for helping me and being a great teacher.
Year 6 student
Katy
I think your input has really helped XX’s confidence and he is feeling ready for this transition to secondary.
Parent of Year 6 student

It's fun seeing Katy, she plays loads of games. It helps dyslexic kids like me learn because it's teaching in a different way than normal school. I can read a little bit now which makes me feel good.
Year 4 student
Mary
I can’t recommend Mary enough. She recently completed a dyslexia assessment for our son. She was very professional, hugely welcoming and immediately put our son at ease. The report she provided was incredibly detailed and has been of huge benefit to us and his teachers. We can now understand his strengths and difficulties and are in a much better place to give him the support he needs.​
Parent
Katy
"Katy took time to build trust with my very nervous and reluctant son and got to know what made him tick. After years of failing to make any progress with learning to read, we have noticed a big improvement in his ability in reading and writing. We can't recommend Katy enough." ​
Parent
Mary
My daughter thoroughly enjoys her lessons with Mary, and we have seen great progress since they have worked together. Mary is naturally brilliant with her, and this makes her relaxed and she looks forward to the lessons.​
