Nothing against Dawn personally, she is totally trust worthy and a very polite, gentle lady.
Dawn's style of tutoring did not suit my daughter. When she made a mistake she was given the correct answer rather than being told to look again. As my daughter rushes work and doesn't read questions thoroughly, she needs to be told to do it again rather than told the answer.
I’m sorry you didn’t feel you could talk to me before posting your review.
I generally find that when someone has made a mistake, working through how we get to the answer together is often beneficial if they don’t appear to understand the steps involved. The child/individual is then better armed to move on and work out the answer to the next question themselves, building their confidence in the process rather than just pointing out mistakes if it appears they don’t seem confident with the process required.

I've only had a couple of weeks of session with Dawn and so far she has helped me far more than any other tutor or teacher i've ever had has. she is patient with me and my dyscalculia, warm and smiley in her approach and has even made me enjoy some of the maths which for me is beyond a foreign concept! Highly recommended!

From Ajanthan
Dawn has been great at tutoring my son. He has so much more confidence at school now. He looks forward to the session with her and very comfortable with her. We initially only wanted it for the summer holidays. We were very pleased with Dawn's efforts we have decided to continue. She is very organised and plans her lessons well. She is flexible and able to change the lessons according to his needs. We are very happy that we found her.
Thank you for your kind words. Your son has been a pleasure to work with and his enthusiasm to learn has been apparent in the way he reacts to the lessons. Many thanks once again for your kind feedback
From Lorna
Dawn has been a great tutor for our 6 year old son. She has been very creative with ideas that engage our son and keep him focussed and he has really enjoyed his sessions. Dawn is organised, reliable and keeps us involved well informed of progress and problems. I can highly recommend her.
Thank you for your kind words, I've enjoyed working with your lad this summer and hope he enjoys his new school when he starts

Dawn has been a fantastic maths tutor for my 10 year old son. Her gentle , but thorough approach has been just right. She has made his maths lessons fun and interesting. He used to hate maths , his confidence has grown so much , he is really enjoying it now . Thank you so much !
Thank you for your comments, your lad has been a real pleasure to teach and I hope he really enjoys secondary school in September. Many thanks
From Nadia
Dawn has worked with my ten year old son. She obviously prepares well for every lesson, and provides me with a lesson plan in advance each week. Dawn works hard to include themes in the lesson such as Lego or football that appeal to my son, and capture his interest. Dawn is very reliable, and arrives promptly. She has a calm and gentle manner that brings out the best in my son, and also manages to have fun in the lesson. He looks forward to his lessons- which has to be a first!
Thank you for your lovely comments, It has been both a pleasure and great fun working with your son over the last couple of weeks and look forward to it continuing over the coming weeks. Many thanks
From Anna
