Testimonials

Clare teaches our two children, who are aged two years apart and very different in both their general character but also learning styles. On meeting Clare, I was immediately impressed with how she was able to flex her approach to establish a good rapport with both children independently, which over time has morphed into a strong teacher/student bond with both children. As we have continued to be supported by Clare, the children's confidence in areas they find difficult has improved significantly, and she has expertly nurtured the areas playing to their natural strengths. Clare is a very warm, approachable, and transparent person to deal with and she and I have also built a good relationship, where she is helping me to understand our children's respective needs so that together we can build the educational support framework best suited to them. Most importantly however, both children love their lessons and are thriving under Clare's teaching and care.

I just wanted to pass on my thanks for Clare and how wonderful she has been with our daughter working towards the 7+. She has a real gift for building rapport with children, creating dynamic and supportive learning and it is clear she has years of experience she draws from. Thank you for the fantastic support and service from you and Clare. I am sure we will need tutoring again and I will come straight back to you.
