Lydia helped us with our 6 and 7 year old for a few months with after-school tutoring. She was always punctual, reliable, and understanding. It gave my husband and me a lot of peace of mind, as working parents, to realise that our children were in good hands 2x a week.

With the children, Lydia was kind but firm. She genuinely cared about their well-being and it shone through in how she handled the kids. She tailored the work for each kids' developmental areas, spent one-on-one focussed time on where they needed more work, and also shared tips and ideas with me on where we could help the kids more, and what material we could make them work through etc. She brought worksheets, encouraged me to buy them a thesaurus, and helped them systematically and methodically. I remember watching her help the kids with creative writing and telling her that it's something that I won't be able to substitute easily when she moves on to a full-time job! I genuinely valued her feedback and inputs. The kids loved working with her, and I could see a marked improvement in their work over the weeks.

I would highly recommend Lydia to parents who are looking to ensure their kids get a warm, caring tutor who's great with kids and brings out the best in them. In addition, her reliability and punctuality are added reassurance to busy parents. Lydia had to stop working with us as she's taking a full time job at the school, but in case she would like to continue tutoring, I would very happily continue working with her. We wish her the best!
