Carys believes firmly in the power of tutoring to build a child’s confidence, as well as providing them with the knowledge and exam skills needed to reach their full potential. She adapts her material depending on each individual’s strengths and areas for improvement in order to maximise the opportunity for learning in each session
Carys was incredibly patient and understanding of M’s learning style. She paid attention to how and what techniques worked best for M and her approach was highly individualised. Carys always praised M’s strengths and progress as well as challenging her and identifying her areas for development. My daughter’s confidence soared with Carys and for the first time in her life she began to enjoy maths. M’s SAT result was spectacular, and so different from what had been predicted at the start of year 6. Carys brought out the best in my daughter and it was a pleasure for us all.
