Mother of Year 4 student, South East London

"Leah quickly developed a strong yet authoritative bond with my daughter. Her sessions were well thought out and she kept them fast paced to maintain the attention of a 5 year old yet thoughtful enough so that my daughter really learnt from them. The results were pretty immediate with my daughter going from under achieving to over in the space of a term. We really liked Leah and would highly recommend her."
