Here's what our parents say

Louise has been superb helping my son with English. She engages him really effectively and puts effort and planning into the classes.

"Louise is a highly skilled teacher with excellent subject knowledge. My son is high achieving but needed extra help to reach his high target grades. Louise planned accordingly, and as a result, he achieved grade 8 in Language and 9 in Literature. Thank you!"

"Really friendly and welcoming. Tailored the lesson to meet my daughter's needs. Despite the challenges her learning difficulties present, my daughter now feels more confident in her ability and is enjoying English much more!"
