Testimonials

"...has an excellent rapport with myself and my husband and even more importantly with my son Toby. He is extremely patient and encouraging and his teaching style impactful. Rather than providing Toby directly with the answers to problems, he has been successful in helping Toby to find solutions with prompting. Already after the first lesson, Toby's confidence has improved and after a few lessons his grades have also shown substantial improvement"

Parent of student

Parent of student

"...tutoring style and skills have made a significant difference in our sons' capacity to write well. As a result, our son has been regaining the confidence that he had lost in his school work as a result of transitioning from one country to another"
