Latest 13 Plus testimonial:

Finnian was very warm and easy to get on with. My son being very quiet, Finnian helped him to develop his communication skills and knowledge base so that he would have the confidence to have a successful interview. There was lots of encouraging feedback at the end of the sessions, and we could see a big difference in our son’s ability over the course of a few weeks.
