Make Me a Reader

Is your child:

  • reading only when they're told they have to?

  • rushing and so not understanding what they read?

  • a competent reader but a little uninspired?

If you’ve answered yes to any of these, you've come to the right place as our course is launching soon!

Our fabulous parent feedback…

  • Brilliant!

    “Andy has been brilliant with our son. Harry really looks forward to the lessons, particularly that Andy links it to football, which is a major winner! Andy has a great manner so Harry feels able to ask for help when he is unsure about something. Whenever I've had questions or concerns, Andy has always provided a quick and helpful response, which is very reassuring.”

    Kat Adams - parent of Harry, age 10

  • Flourishing

    “My daughter did not like the idea of tutoring at all but Andy was so kind and understanding, arranging a meeting with Eva to put her at ease. Since starting tuition, our daughter has really flourished academically at school, grown confident in her work and isn’t afraid to tackle difficult problems. She thoroughly enjoys and looks forward to sessions with Andy and says she has so much fun! We have seen a huge improvement since she started with Andy and highly recommend him. He has exceeded our expectations.”

    Vicky Lockwood - parent of Eva, age 9

  • Worked wonders!

    “Andy was excellent with our son who was lacking in confidence and very reluctant to learn due to his fear of failure. Andy's techniques and approach worked wonders not only with our son's learning but also his confidence. I would highly recommend Andy as a tutor.”

    Natalie Davies - parent of Hugo, age 7

  • Excellent!

    “We are extremely grateful that Andy was able to accommodate us as he is the perfect fit for our child - encouraging, patient, kind and friendly as well as being an excellent teacher. We are very happy with the communication with us directly about how our son is coming along. He has progressed so much with Andy and this has been reflected at school and within his exam results. Andy has given our son much more confidence, in particular with maths which he frequently finds challenging. He always comes away from his lessons happy and more confident in the subject taught. Highly recommend.”

    Chloe Harrison Bamber - parent of Hayden, age 9

  • Highly attentive!

    “Teacher Andy is a very good teacher! He is very patient in guiding my son to think and is highly attentive in every lesson. He is a great, experienced teacher and makes my son really enjoy his learning.”

  • Amazing

    “Andy has done an amazing job tutoring our 10-year old. He is incredibly kind and patient, as well as thoughtful and clever in how he engages with his pupils - really building both their confidence and their ability every step of the way. I couldn't recommend him highly enough.”
