'My son has been receiving weekly tuition from Natalie for one year, and has developed his reading and writing skills more than he had in the previous six years at school.

I recently sat in on a lesson and could not believe the words that he is now able to read.

Natalie has taught him vital skills, such as proof reading, that he will use throughout his life.

The biggest change has been in his confidence. His teacher has told us that he is now happy to share his ideas and work in class, something he never wanted to do previously. He no longer avoids situations where he might have to read things (e.g. during board games), and after school tears are a thing of the past.

Natalie has a kind and gentle teaching approach, which enables her learners to feel comfortable to “have a go”. She is endlessly positive and supportive, and helps her students to correct themselves without feeling discouraged.

I was delighted to recently hear my son say that he would like to be a teacher one day, something he would never have said a year ago.'

Natalie has been exceptional with my son who has dyslexia and dysgraphia. He is always very happy to go to his sessions with Natalie. He is now reading above his age, which I never dreamt he would achieve. His spelling has improved dramatically. Although he still struggles with his writing, he is getting there and is no longer “afraid” to write. But maybe even more importantly, his confidence and belief in his own ability has increased more than I could have hoped. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services.'
