“I can't recommend Chris highly enough! Within the first 3 sessions, the progress my son made was amazing! He now writes confidently, and his spelling and handwriting have improved massively. The best of all is that for a child who was reluctant to do any writing and has struggled to find motivation with his English/Spelling, now he looks forward to it and is enjoying every session with Chris. He feels proud of his work and can see how much he is achieving through their work together which gives him confidence and joy. Chris is a great tutor - very friendly and warm, professional, and has a great approach with his students to make them feel relaxed, positive, and motivated.”
