Can you provide references or testimonials from previous clients?

 

Good Evening.

 

Both A and I wanted to take the time to write and express our thanks for the tutoring with Asha.

 

Asha has been a breath of fresh air with her open, happy and friendly nature.  

 

I honestly could not rate her higher enough for tuition, she instantly put my son at ease (who was apprehensive about using a tutor), she is meticulous with her planning and her time keeping, she is extremely knowledgeable on all the subjects that we required.  And it is her relax manner that you instantly warm to.

 

Both my son and I felt upset last night that it might have been our last session.

 

We have grown so fond of Asha that we are very excited to hopefully meet up after GCSE results day and share the news.

 

Kindest regards,

 

I think this is one of the kindest testimonials I’ve had about the tutors who work with me. It’s definitely one that stands out.

 

Feedback from Josh

Not long after I started the tutoring business, I started recommending other tutors as I couldn’t support everyone myself. I just presumed that everyone provided a tailored-1-to-1 approach to tutoring. I guess I was naïve.

At the same time, my lad was doing his A’ levels and had missed a lesson for some reason. I asked one of the tutors that I had been recommending if he would mind spending an hour with J going over whatever it was that he had missed in the lesson.

He turned up, pen in hand, shirt halfway undone, no preparation to be seen and asked J what he would like to go over. Jamie explained. The tutor asked what he knew about it. J said nothing as he had missed that lesson. The tutor replied that he must know something!

Nope…

But he must…

This went on for an hour when the tutor took his money and left.

J was none- the -wiser.

As a parent I was mad, I had just handed over (more than double what I was charging at the time, plus petrol) the money.

As someone who was putting their heart and soul into starting a business and had been recommending him to other, I was devastated. I knew that if others felt that was what I deemed to be acceptable it would completely destroy our reputation.

When I spoke to him about it, his attitude was: well, no one has ever moaned about it before.

But I am now!

So, I let him go. Now everyone that works with me is employed so I can determine how we do things, when I ‘moan’ it’s because I hugely value our reputation. But I am so proud of the tutors who work with me, I know the business would not be today what it is without their help. I will always be so genuinely grateful from the bottom of my heart.

So, I would like to thank them all.

Hi Dawn

 

I'm so sorry for not replying sooner. I've not been very well and i'm afraid i've not been able to keep up with my emails. I think all the stress of trying to get F through his exams caught up with me as soon as he finished!

 

I wanted to say a huge ginormous thank you to you for everything you've done for F. You have helped him so much in his maths and english. But for him it's more than that. Before starting with you he was in a really bad place. He felt education wasn't for him and had no hope of passing anything or achieving anything. But by teaching him maths in a way he understood he started to believe that he wasn't totally stupid and maybe he could pass. And then that spiralled as he got better at maths he starting thinking he could maybe do other things and it's really changed his whole outlook. I never thought i'd be sitting here with him discussing A levels let alone him considering going to college after 6th form to studing computing. He is like a different person!



The exam period was not easy but now the stress has gone he's much easier to live with and is enjoying his life of leisure. He wanted me to ask you if there was somewhere he could leave a review for you as he wanted to say thank you and tell other people how good you were for him.



So a huge thank you from all of us and we will let you know how he gets on.

I hope you have a wonderful summer!

I have to be honest and say I’m not very good at asking for them, but I am proud of each and every one of them.

For the past 20+ years I have been a firm believer that learning should be an enjoyable experience. I appreciate that traditionally education has revolved around worksheets, textbooks, listening to teachers. But a grounding in early years and working with children who had a variety of learning styles from I learned that it is an individual activity that is personal to all of us. We don’t all learn in the same way. Our influences, our experiences, our capabilities all influence how we retain information. But through it all, I believe that if we can make it enjoyable and engaging, they will want to participate. With participation comes practice which in turn boosts skill and confidence. With an increase in skill and confidence comes a willingness to have a go. This in turn leads to more practice which leads to a positive spiral of success. The moral, we need to make learning fun, engaging, use a range of techniques.
