“Frances has done a brilliant job of guiding my 14-year-old from being terrified of Maths to liking it and feeling confident about the subject, which is a testament to her patience, skill and kindness. She carried out a Dyscalculia assessment too, which gave us a clear idea of where my daughter needs extra time for processing in exams. She comes highly recommended by us!”
“I have found Frances extremely competent, empathetic and nurturing in her approach and would highly recommend her to any other parents who may be in a similar position of needing an assessor for dyslexia and dyscalculia. X is a great judge of character and you made a really challenging experience a really positive one! “
“X and I have said many times that we were so fortunate to be put in touch with you. For me, after so many years, being assessed was a revelation, and although I have always felt embarrassed by my shortcomings, I did not feel at all judged during my session, and that gave me comfort. I think that X felt the same way and really has thrived with your help. X has enjoyed working with you and she will miss you too, so thank you for all the time you have spent with her.”
“Frances continues to help our son with his confidence in Maths. On the contrary, he applies himself much more and he is ready to give difficult tasks a go. For the past year and a half, Frances has been explaining Maths with much patience and clarity; she breaks it down for him. As a result his confidence, his grades and his set have increased! As parents, we really value and appreciate Frances’ input and experience.”
“Frances tutored my son throughout his time at Primary school and into Secondary school. Her rapport with my son and the manner in which her lessons were delivered, ensured that he made rapid progress. She always arrived well prepared for the lesson and left support material for the week in between sessions. Frances was quick to pick up on the fact that my son had some processing difficulties and carried out a thorough assessment of his needs. This diagnostic testing was rigorous and very detailed. I was supplied with a very comprehensive written report detailing every test and the outcomes.
“My daughter has been tutored by Frances for the last 4 months and she recognised immediately that my daughter could have dyslexia. This was confirmed by the assessment which was conducted in a calm and safe environment, the report was clear and easy to understand and Frances was happy to go through and answer any questions we had. It made all the learning issues my daughter had much more understandable and was a relief to know that along with her school we could begin to help her.
