“I can't recommend Chris highly enough! Within the first 3 sessions, the progress my son made was amazing! He now writes confidently, and his spelling and handwriting have improved massively. The best of all is that for a child who was reluctant to do any writing and has struggled to find motivation with his English/Spelling, now he looks forward to it and is enjoying every session with Chris. Chris is a great tutor - very friendly and warm, professional, and has a great approach with his students to make them feel relaxed, positive, and motivated.”
— T, Mum of Year Four pupil
