Jonny has taken the sting out of preparing for GCSE English and English Literature for our dyslexic child. Our child always finishes his lessons with Jonny having learnt or understood something that he didnt beforehand and feeling optimistic about the progress that he is making. Jonny has an engaging and positive teaching style and has provided well targeted and structured lessons. His communication with us regarding lesson arrangements has been good.

Jonny has provided my daughter with the confidence she needed to go into her Alevels. He has so much knowledge and made the lessons interesting. She had lost her way but Jonny has got her back on track. I would highly recommend him to anyone! Thank you for all the support!
