Feedback For Jane (2)

Jane has been tutoring my 10 year boy for about 10 weeks over Skype for forthcoming 11 Plus exams; she delivers an all-round excellent service. She engages with him really well and they have quickly developed a strong rapport which has allowed Jane to immediately pick up on any areas he finds more challenging. Jane is extremely approachable, systematic and logical. She sets well-defined homework and provides clear feedback to both the student and parents. I would heartily recommend Jane.

Jane did a great job with my daughter, who obtained an academic scholarship from Abbey. Later my daughter was accepted into Kendrick so we didn`t take up the offer.
