Testimonials

“We are very new to tutoring, after our 9-year old was diagnosed with dyslexia. We struggle with helping him at home, with helping him to retain the skills he learns during school time.

We met Sarah and after only two sessions our son has already started showing much more confidence in his writing and ability to retain the spellings he finds so difficult to master.”

“Highly recommend Believe Tuition. I debated actually booking sessions as I wasn’t sure how our son (age 7) would respond to them as he can be very shy around new people and he also doesn’t enjoy practising the things he finds difficult, however I needn’t have hesitated. Sarah is incredibly understanding and patient. Our son always finishes the sessions with the biggest smile on his face and he’s just beaming with pride – he can’t wait to come and show us the sticker he gets for working hard. The sessions are tailored to suit him and we’re given the tools/guidance we need to support him in-between sessions.”

“Our son who going into Year 2 Primary in September (aged 6) has been enjoying the 1-2-1 tutoring sessions he has been having with Sarah. He looks forward to the sessions and interacts well with her.

Sarah has clearly put a lot of thought and preparation into the sessions, and has devised personalised learning aides for our son which is a lovely touch and no doubt encourages him to focus on the learning. We can see improvement already with his reading and writing.”

“My child has been working with Sarah for a number of months now. From the very first session, she created such an exciting personalised programme for him which instilled a love of learning outside of the classroom we have never seen before – he even made a sign for the dining room to be renamed ‘Phonics Room’.

Sarah is exceptionally professional and works super hard to ensure that our son is making progress towards his individual goals. Sarah uses a variety of rewards which are fun and engaging to ensure maximum progress within the short, tailored sessions and he looks forward to showing us what he has learned each week. (Child age 7.)”

“Sarah is a really caring and practical tutor with many engaging techniques to keep kids interested in learning. She helped tremendously our 7-year old son who is struggling with English. Could not recommend more!”

“Sarah has been working with our daughter now for several months focusing on confidence and gaps in learning prior to her SATs. Sarah is kind, understanding and uses innovative methods to engage. Alice is really happy to learn with Sarah!”

“Sarah has been working with Carly, my 13-year old, on her maths. I can see Carly’s confidence growing after every lesson. After Carly’s first lesson, her first words after Sarah left were, “OMG I love her she’s amazing, I can’t wait for my next lesson!” Now my daughter actually is starting to enjoy her maths and improves after every lesson. Thank you so much.”

“Sarah has built my boy’s confidence so much in the time she has been helping him and has that perfect balance of meeting him where he is and pushing him to improve. He is always super proud of himself after a session and loves showing what he has done through the week when she next returns. Would definitely recommend.”

“My daughter absolutely loves her time at Believe Tuition! Sarah is an exceptional tutor – knowledgeable, patient, and truly makes learning enjoyable. We’ve seen a real improvement in both English and Maths subjects and my daughter’s confidence. Highly recommend!”

“I was concerned that the lack of professional teaching and support during the school holidays would impact my son’s development so reached out to Sarah. Even before we met and before my son’s first session, we knew that Sarah would be perfect for my son who is SEN. She was keen to understand where he was with education and his interests.

The first session started off perfectly. Sarah had made my son a personalised sticker chart related to his favourite topic at that time. Sarah comes fully equipped with everything needed to get straight into the session and knows straight away her plan for the session. This means very little teaching time is wasted. Sarah is very engaging, listens to what we would like to get out of not only each session but also longer term. My son is not always comfortable with new people but he loved working with Sarah from the first minute.

Sarah has great ideas to assist with my son’s learning. Sarah realises one size does not fit all and adjusts her approach to get the best out of each session. We look forward to continuing to work with Sarah. My only regret is that we didn’t find Sarah earlier for our daughter and earlier for our son.”
