"I engaged Ally after my daughter had a fairly dispiriting go at a couple of private school prep school entrance tests 7+. It became patently clear that the state system was not equipping her with some fundamentals in Maths - I felt she was more behind then she should have been, but she also hated learning with me. That being the agenda, we chose Ally, and for about 6 months she has come about 3 times a month for c1.5 hrs. The progress from that 1:1 attention was immediately noticeable. My daughter adores Ally and in fact cried when I said we wouldn't need her anymore as Ally moved her towards the goal of getting into the school we wanted. My daughter said that Ally was the best maths teacher that she had ever had. They did a lot more than maths though. Essentially Ally created a fun learning environment where my daughter wrote long letters and stories, happily did pages of maths work, and didn't tire of any of it. Ally is wonderful at creating an un-threatening learning environment, assessing your child and then working at the right pace - patient yet challenging. Thank you Ally for creating more confidence in my daughter for tackling maths, using creative words and in general helping her love to learn. We will not hesitate to contact you via Owl again if something is troubling my daughter."

"Ally worked with our daughter while in year 1 and in preparation for 7+ exams. Ally is a qualified teacher who has practiced as a teacher, and this was demonstrated in the work she did. For example, there was innovative coaching/teaching around story writing. We also felt that Ally engaged well with our daughter and managed to maintain focus and interest for each 1 hour session, covering Maths and English."
