Fiona has developed a great relationship with our son. She is able to tutor him in maths and english in preparation for SATs. She is thorough and taken time to understand his needs, read his reports and planned excellent sessions. He always finishes each session with a smile. Highly recommend Fiona.
Thank you Lisa. Your son is a pleasure to teach and always works hard.
From TJ
We contacted Fiona to prepare our daughter for SATs. Fiona was brilliant in identifying her strength and weaknesses and focus on the areas that she needed on improve on. Moreover, it has been great to see our daughter looking forward to the lessons and see her getting more confident and at ease with previous challenges. Overall, Fiona has been professional, communicative and well structured in the approach to improve our daughter's math skills. We are very grateful and happy to have found her :)
Thank you TJ. Your daughter is making excellent progress and I wish her every success for the forthcoming SATs.
From David
Fiona was fantastic in helping to prepare our 10 year old daughter Emily to pass an entrance examination. She was very patient and Emily thoroughly enjoyed the learning experience which has given her a much better understanding of Maths which will give her a good platform in going forward.
Thank you. I’m very pleased Emily passed her entrance exam.
From Zoe
Fiona had endless patience with our son who was somewhat of a reluctant learner. She managed to get him engaged and motivate him for both English & Maths, which was impressive! She had good communication with us as parents too.
Thank you. I believe communication between pupils, parents and tutor is vital.
From Julia
I asked Fiona to help my grandson Charlie (Year 3) with his English and Maths. She responded to my approach immediately and we were able to organise the on-line lessons very quickly. I understand from my daughter that Charlie really enjoys being taught by Fiona and they get through a lot of learning in the one hour lesson. She is always very positive in her teaching which has helped build Charlie's confidence. He focuses on what he is being taught which under other circumstances might have been challenging for him. Although it is early days we are delighted with the progress that he is making. The feedback that Fiona gives my daughter at the end of the lesson is invaluable. Thank you Fiona!
Thank you Julia. Charlie is always upbeat and has a positive attitude towards his learning. I know this enthusiasm will enable him to continue to make good progress.
From Simon
Fiona has been excellent with our son. She keeps him interested and engaged by teaching him about subjects that he enjoys. In the short time they have worked together we have seen huge improvements in handwriting, grammar and sentence formulation. We would highly recommend her to anyone.
Thank you. Your son is lovely to teach. He listens carefully and focuses on the tasks set. His determination to develop his cursive handwriting is wonderful.
From sophia
Fiona is just what my little girl needed to get a fun for learning feel as she is heading into year 2 with her happy smiley face Fiona is just great with Bella and engages with her extremily well and look forwards to her lesson each week. Fiona knows all about the curriculum and exactly what Bella is learning at school I would highly recommend fIona if you are thinking of using a tutor.
Thank you. I thoroughly enjoy working with your daughter each week. She fully engages with the learning activities, especially helping Cheeky Monkey learn his phonemes.
From Natasha
Our daughter has been receiving KS1 and KS2 tuition from Fiona in Maths and English for 3 years now and her confidence and ability has grown significantly through Fiona’s creative, well-planned and structured sessions. Fiona’s kind and supportive nature has enabled our daughter to feel more confident when problem solving and her fun, thoughtful and interactive approach to learning has kept our daughter engaged and continually enjoying her sessions. We would highly recommend Fiona.
Thank you. It is a pleasure to support and encourage your daughter on her learning journey. As her knowledge and understanding has developed, her confidence and positive attitude to tackle new challenges has blossomed.
From Josephine
Fiona was absolutely fantastic with our daughter. She helped her prepare for her SATS exams in English and Maths. Sinai was really struggling with her maths but after working with Fiona she had improved the most out of anyone in her class, going from below average to high average within just a couple of months! She is really lovely to work with, very patient and really cares about her students. I highly recommend Fiona as a tutor.
Thank you. It’s been a great pleasure to support your daughter on her learning journey and to witness her rapid progress. I wish her every success in her new school.
From Kay
Fiona has been a tutor to my now 10 year old son since he transitioned to a new school in Year 5. There are not enough words to describe the amazing work that Fiona has done with my son apart from fantastic. Fiona took the time to what levels my son was at for both Maths and English before diving into the learning, and then tailored all of her lessons for him. She had great balance making all the lessons enjoyable and fun but at the same time challenged him and provided homework to help him store what he has learnt.
She was also a tremendous help over the SATs period and took the time concentrating on the subjects my son lacked confidence in. She has been a great asset to my sons education.
It has been a great pleasure to tutor your son. He always worked so diligently and challenged himself. I wish him every success on the next steps of his learning journey, as he moves on up to his next school.
From Lalin
Fiona has been tutoring my daughter in Maths for the past month or so I cannot praise her highly enough. She is always punctual and has built excellent rapport with my daughter; so much so that my daughter looks forward to her maths lessons with Fiona. She is extremely friendly and her subject knowledge is worthy of praise. My daughter's confidence in maths has grown exponentially and she really enjoys her lessons with Fiona.
Thank you. Your daughter is an absolute delight to teach. Her understanding of number is developing as she grows in confidence,
From Suky
Fiona taught my YR 6 child and prepared her for her SAT's. Fiona is a very patient tutor, who plans her tutoring before hand and is always prompt for lessons. She makes every effort to swap days if you can't make the lesson for whatever reason. My daughter use to lack a lot of confidence in class but since being tutored by Fiona she is now very confident in class.
Thank you Suky. It was a pleasure to teach your daughter over the last year and I wish her every success as she moves on into secondary education.
From Steven
Fiona has been tutoring our Daughter since the beginning of term and we are very pleased with the progress so far. Fiona has a relaxed and friendly approach to the sessions which makes our Daughter look forward to the session.
Thank you for your kind comments. Your daughter is a pleasure to teach and always an enthusiastic learner throughout our sessions.
From Tim
We're only 2 weeks into our daughters sessions with Fiona and already she is showing signs of improvement and confidence with her Maths. Our daughter looks forward to Fiona coming round each week and now says "She didn't realise Maths could be do much fun!!!" - a true testament to Fiona's skills and ability to engage with the child and making learning fun. We're really happy so far and glad that we managed to secure Fiona's services - many thanks.
Many thanks for your positive feedback. Your daughter is a pleasure to teach and is already starting to be more confident with number work. I am very pleased she now thinks maths is fun and enjoys her tuition sessions with me. Kind regards. Fiona
