SPECIALIST TUTORING FOR DYSLEXIC LEARNERS AND THOSE WITH LITERACY-RELATED DIFFICULTIES

From the outset, Jo has always provided enjoyable engaging sessions to support my daughter’s literacy needs (which she always looks forward to!). What has stood out for me as a parent is Jo’s professional, conscientious and empathetic nature. She regularly communicates progress and strategies used to support her independent learning going forward. It’s been wonderful to see my daughter’s confidence in her literacy work blossom in the time that she has been with Jo.

Mrs G, Parent of Year 7 child

Jo has been instrumental in our journey with dyslexia over the last two years. Her calm, kind and professional manner put our son at ease immediately. Jo ensured she got to know our son, his interests and how best to approach learning with him. She has extensive knowledge in her field, and this is evident in her approach and teaching. We have seen a huge improvement in his ability to engage with phonics, literacy and working memory skills, and most importantly his confidence in doing so. Jo ensures we are kept up to date with in-depth feedback on progress made and areas she has and will be focusing on. Jo’s tutoring has been invaluable and I cannot recommend her enough.

Mrs S, Parent of Year 4 child

We feel very fortunate to have found Jo. She has formed a great rapport with our son and he actively looks forward to his sessions with her. His development has come on leaps and bounds since working with her and so has his confidence. He believes in his own abilities now and Jo even gets a mention from him in his end of year review that he has to write at school, he attributes his progress to the work she does with him. We are looking forward to working with Jo throughout Zach’s primary years.

Mrs T, Parent of Year 5 child

My daughter Molly has been having 1:1 sessions with Jo since May 2021 when she was in year 4 to date. The support and guidance that Jo has provided Molly has been invaluable. Jo has given Molly the tools and most importantly the confidence to navigate her dyslexia and overcome challenges. Since 1:1 tutoring with Jo; Molly’s teachers have noticed a marked improvement in her confidence in the classroom, her ability to problem solve and contribute in class. Jo is fantastic at ensuring the sessions are enjoyable and Molly is always excited and happy to attend.

I know Jo’s support helped Molly do much better in her year 6 SATS than expected but what is far more important to me is that Molly now has belief in herself, an enjoyment for learning and a really positive attitude to school.

KT, Parent of Year 6 child

My daughter has grown in ability and confidence so much this past year. Jo’s tailor made sessions are not only professional, they are fun and engaging and my daughter looks forward to her lessons each week. In addition to this, Jo has also provided fabulous emotional support to myself whilst navigating my daughter’s learning journey. We are so grateful to have found Jo.

Mrs A-P, Parent of Year 4 child

Aaliyah loves her sessions with Jo. Her confidence in reading has grown massively through her sessions. Every session is tailored exactly to what Aaliyah needs.

Mrs B, Parent of Year 6 child

Jo has been a massive help for my son and has really boosted his confidence in his work. We have noticed a big difference since Jo started teaching him. My son looks forward to each session and always has a laugh during his learning which is a great bonus! The waiting area is lovely and relaxing for parents. Highly recommend!

Mrs R, Parent of Year 6 child

Katherine has been with Jo for approximately 2 years and we have seen how her confidence has grown. She has taken the strategies bought by Jo into her school lessons and is performing well at school. Katherine finds Jo really helpful and supportive. Thanks Jo.
