Recent testimonials

Isabelle really helped our daughter regain confidence in Maths following lockdown and online lessons which led to a disappointing mock GCSE result in January of her year 11, despite her being a very academically capable student. Our daughter enjoyed having the opportunity to work one to one with someone who could help her recover some of those areas that suffered during online lessons.
