We chose Mrs Hans only going by the reviews and her background. It turned out to be a very good decision. Our 5/6 year old was struggling at school (late bloomer + young for his year + easily distracted), and was 'Working Behind' on most of the core areas. Since he started (now 5 months) we have seen not only good progress with both maths and English, but a continued interest in going to his lessons with Mrs Hans. he enjoys his learning, finds it fun and has become a proud learner and much more confident at school. He is still a little behind, but I think he has caught up on a lot of ground over summer and hopefully we will see him grow even more now that he is back at school. The things we like: topics are very closely aligned to curriculum so we recognise the topics when they appear in school homework, small amounts on each topic, good attention to detail in areas like handwriting - as a result he has received praise at school for his handwriting, fun approach to topics, allowing us to do numbers in the car (mentally). Things we are looking forward to: more independent approach to doing work at home (we hope this will come soon), catching up at school and even perhaps excelling in a few areas (giving him some well deserved confidence).
