Testimonials from parents

Kate taught my son during his time in year 6. Her support helped his confidence grow so much. She was truly amazing, and I could not thank her enough.

Year 6 Parent, James

Before my son was taught by Kate, he used to get upset everyday about going into school. After a few weeks of being in her class, the tears stopped and he was happy to go to school again. Her warmth and support helped him to feel so much more comfortable in classroom. 

Year 3 Parent, Laura

Kate has been a fantastic teacher. She has always taken such a great interest in adapting her teaching to best help my son, who is diagnosed with ADHD. She constantly worked in partnership with us to adapt her teaching and make sure the classroom was made as comfortable and predictable for him as possible. This helped him so much!

“We couldn’t be happier with the progress our daughter has made since starting sessions with Kate. Not only has her confidence in English and Maths grown massively, but she now approaches her schoolwork with real enthusiasm. Kate has such a calm and encouraging way of teaching — she makes even tricky concepts feel manageable. As parents, it’s been a huge relief knowing our child is fully prepared for SATs and, more importantly, actually enjoying learning again. We would recommend Kate without hesitation.”
