Mandy is highly experienced and professional. Our 4 year old ASD pre-verbal son would not sit at table top learning but just in few weeks she was able to keep him interested and get him to understand intructions. His understanding of language and numbers has improved a lot, his fine motor skills have improved, he was able to do many things which we never thought he could achieve in such a short time. Mandy is always prepared with a bag full of interesting learning material. My son always looks forward to her lessons. She is calm and is able to understand my son very well. We are grateful to find her and would recommend her without a doubt.

Thank you, your support is much appreciated!
My son hasn't been having tutoring long and was very apprehensive about doing so but he's settled in really well with Mandy and seems to really enjoy their time together. I would definitely recommend Mandy to anyone considering employing the services of a tutor.

Mandy is an excellent tutor who has developed excellent rapport with both children. She is knowledgeable about both the National Curriculum, and supporting children with additional needs. I am confident any child would receive a significant knowledge boost from accessing her tutoring. Always punctual and reliable.

Thank you!
From the first communication we could see how professional Mandy is, very quick to respond, with great wealth of knowledge and experience. Our daughter is nonverbal and needed some support with her learning. Mandy took on the challenge so well, now spending two mornings with my daughter per week, using eye gazer technology to communicate and learn. Mandy is very flexible, reliable, proactive, always comes prepared and with full bag of learning material ready. My daughter screams with joy when Mandy arrives. We have already seen some great results in our daughter. Thank you Mandy, so lucky to find you and have you on our team in supporting our daughter.

My daughter is in year 2 and she requires a lot of support in school, MLD. She has been taking lessons from Mandy for about 2 months now and we can already see a big difference in our daughter's learning, behaviour and confidence. Mandy is very paitent and encouraging as a result our daughter's basic understanding of Maths and English has improved significantly. I would easily recommend Mandy to anyone.
