    "Elaine's support was invaluable for our child's successful transition to his school. Arriving at a new school can be challenging, but the added hurdle of navigating unfamiliar language made it even more daunting for our child.

    Elaine's patience, dedication, and engaging teaching methods made all the difference. Thanks to Elaine's guidance, our child was not only able to learn English but also excelled in most of his academic subjects.

    Her personalised approach helped our child gain confidence in his abilities and flourish in his new environment. We are incredibly grateful for Elaine's positive impact on our child's education."

  • "Elaine has been working with my son for two years, and I have seen incredible changes in not only his academic skills, but his enjoyment of school and self-confidence. She is encouraging, gentle, and has great expertise in helping children with learning difficulties. She is approachable and good at communicating about progress and next steps. I recommend her wholeheartedly and appreciate all she has done to make school a much more pleasant experience for my son."

  • "Elaine looked after our son for several years during normal school hours, several times a week. Through her accurate and very well-founded feedback, we felt informed at all times and had a very good overview of all learning progress.

    In this way, amongst other things, she ensured that he met the [school’s] requirements, especially in areas such as academic vocabulary, grammar and the use of homophones.

    Elaine was available at all times, always ready with advice and made us feel that he was in good hands.

    We would like to thank Elaine for her exceptional work and wish her all the best for the future."
