"Thanks for all the help you have given Sam. You have done a great job and have a lovely way of teaching."

"Henry seems to be enjoying meeting up with Cameron and think that the match is a pretty good fit. I like the looks of the spreadsheets they are doing, especially the "changing modifiers" one, as this is what Henry tends to do in his writing (and his speech when he is describing an event/experience). Cameron said "it's all there, he just needs to slow down" which is exactly what his teachers are saying, so Cameron is working on some techniques to help him slow down and produce better quality work."

"Thanks heaps for all the great work you have done with Bryony over the last 3 years. She has really enjoyed working with you, and you can certainly take credit for her results so far. I think you have a great way of relating to her, and getting the best from her in a non-threatening way. I wish you well for the future."

“She has done exceptionally well this year in maths, gaining a school prize for maths in the year 12 cohort when she is a very young year 11! She has really enjoyed the tutorials and she and Jeremy seem to be a good fit.”

"We have nothing but the highest praise for Hannah. She is an excellent teacher and Monny really likes her very much.

I have to say, I was a bit nervous signing up to have students for tutors. I just wasn't sure they would have the skills/ maturity to manage someone not much younger than them and our previous experience with tutors has been with ex-teachers. I couldn't have been more wrong!!!. We are delighted with both Hannah and John. Monny really likes the fact that they are close to her own age as she feels she can relate to them."

“Had found Kip McGrath OK when children were younger, but not the specialists available for years 12 and 13 in science.”

“Our daughter was able to learn at her own pace and to clarify points that needed clarification. It was a positive one on one learning environment. Amelia was a positive role model.
Her tuition helped her gain confidence in her own ability which translated into improved test results. She went up a stanine level during the year.”

"Just want to let you know Jed really enjoyed his tutorials with Max and believes they have made a real difference to his exam efforts, particularly in re-igniting belief in his science ability!
His motivation and attitude has improved and we are hopeful this will carry through into Yr 12.
Please pass our thanks onto Max and am sure we will be in touch next year."

"Thanks very much for this progress report. It is very comprehensive and much more thorough than a school report. She is performing much better than I have anticipated thanks to Molly’s support. Many thanks.

Charlotte looks forward to her sessions and was extremely pleased with her test result. The ability to go over the questions she found difficult was most worthwhile to her."

“Well, Tim said to me last week what do I do if I fail exam, I replied we will deal with that if it happens, Tim texted me this Monday to say he passed with merit - one point off an excellence!!

Thank you so so much - and please pass onto Hamish that we appreciate everything he has done and is doing for Tim, to be honest we never thought that he would get a merit for Maths!!”

"Neil would not be able to answer the exams because he was doing the subject on his own and was far behind. Melanie came in and worked consistently and got him motivated to not only do his work but to do it well."

Neil’s mother Sarah, December 2009
Year 11, Level 2 Mathematics

“I would like to thank our tutor profusely as Anna has had a fantastic relationship with her .Both Melanie and I have observed a great step forward with regard to Anna's learning skills and overall progress. In the past Anna often floundered and did not know how to move forward as there was always something new coming up. Very frustrating for her which ate away at her confidence. Now Anna appears to enjoy her subjects and doesn't cry shy of them or skirt round them. Her tutor has helped her so much to devise a plan, system, strategy that has made a massive difference in how she approaches things and tackled the question. Hopefully this year ( 2016) we can build on this together.
I am so proud of Anna and I thank Melanie sincerely.”
