He seems to really enjoy the lesson time and even when he is tired or grumpy he comes out of their sessions smiling. She manages to pitch the level perfectly to hold his interest and imagination – quite a challenge with a teenage boy!
Emily is extremely conscientious and is always willing to go the extra mile. She designs sessions that target particular weaknesses and also supplies homework tasks that she often writes and produces herself, bespoke for Sam.
Sam likes her sessions because she makes the learning process fun and stimulating and we have seen his self-esteem and confidence improve since he has worked with her. I would have no problem recommending her to any other parent requiring similar support for their child.”
