"Camilla - I am very grateful for all your hard work with Tom over the past 12 months. He had been struggling with some of his learning skills, and in particular his writing and English skills. You initially assessed Tom's strengths and weaknesses and then devised a bespoke plan to help him improve in the areas where he was weakest. Through targeted exercises, you have encouraged him to develop appropriate strategies, and consequently Tom has made very significant progress since he has been seeing you. With his growing confidence, his core skills improved markedly. He is now scoring well in all his lessons. At the same time, he enjoys his sessions with you, not only because he can see that he is making progress, but also because of your patient and sympathetic approach with him. I would unreservedly recommend you to other parents (and, indeed, have already done so!)" Mrs P, mother of Tom.
"Victoria has been a huge help with our son who has dyslexia. She has managed to make spelling and writing - normally difficult and frustrating chores for dyslexics - into fun Saturday morning activities. She has helped build his confidence by sharing tools and techniques to remember how to spell high frequency words. He has learned so much and is constantly repeating tips he has learned from Victoria. He is now successfully through the 11+ and still wants to go to his Saturday morning sessions with Victoria!" Mrs V, mother of Ian.
"Through recommendation, my son started weekly lessons with Camilla just over a year ago, helping him with his English. He struggled with English, in particular his processing, working memory, visual perception, organisation and planning. It is testament to Camilla's abilities that I, without hesitation, asked her to tutor our younger daughter who has recently shown to have similar issues. Camilla is such a lovely person; she has a warm and gentle demeanour which both my children warm to and feel comfortable with. Not once have my children complained about going to her and they complain about a lot of things! I receive bite-size feedback from Camilla on a weekly basis which suits me perfectly and have had a longer meeting discussing progress and further objectives. I would recommend Camilla in an instant!" Mrs H, mother of Timmy & Emily.
"Victoria helped our son in his preparations for the 11 plus entrance exams. Her assistance was invaluable. In the course of her tutoring, our son went from a bright but reticent and unfocused student to an articulate and confident one. His academic progress with her was obvious, but best of all, he also really started to enjoy the subject and became proud of his academic achievements. She gave him the confidence he needed and she was the first person he wanted to call when he started to receive offers from his chosen schools." Mrs F, mother of James.
"Camilla has been a godsend for my son and I highly recommend her! Her encouraging and constructive teacher manner have helped him to progress tremendously. She has not only improved his confidence and English language ability but helped him with new learning techniques. What I have also really appreciated with Camilla, is that she has taken time to understand and reflect on where my son has needed more support and then tailors her lessons accordingly. My son always looks forward to his lessons including the fun and supportive chats with Camilla! Thank you Camilla for all of your help and support, as well as inspiring my son to enjoy English. " Mrs R, mother of Leo.
" Our son went to see Victoria shortly after he was diagnosed with dyslexia and the transformation over the past year or so has been remarkable. He really enjoys his tutorials and his confidence has sky rocketed. He was so reluctant to learn and frustrated by the effort he put in compared with the results he was achieving, however, the strategies Victoria has put in place and the encouragement she has provided has completely changed his approach to learning and he is now working at greater depth at school in literacy and has a new found love for reading and English. Thank you for your patience, kindness and perseverance and for boosting his confidence and providing him with the skills he needs to equip him to achieve at school." Mrs M, mother of Rory.
Victoria has been helping our elder son with his English for over a year. The moment we met her - we all loved her. She makes lessons fun, but at the same time challenged our son. She is full of great ideas and tips for improving comprehension, grammar and writing. Victoria adopts a unique approach to each child, building on their strengths and teaching them new skills and methods. We liked the lessons so much, that our younger son now attends Victoria's tutorials and he adores them! "I like them because we always play fun games and Tikka the dog snores by my feet." I can't not mention the dog! Tikka is a real asset and makes learning for the kids so much fun. The results are easy to see: improved English scores at school and a visible love for writing too. Can't recommend her enough! Mrs C, mother of L and S.
