Linda is organized, efficient, extremely competent, and has an excellent rapport with children of all ages. I am glad to say that it is because of her that my children developed immense interest in English and also within that short period of time they had shown good progress. When she was teaching my children she was a perfect blend of strictness and kindness. She is excellent in recognising a child's potential as well as weaknesses, apart from being very dedicated and sincere.

My daughter's language skills and confidence have been transformed under Linda's exceptional tutoring. Charlotte has dyspraxia and elements of language delay which meant her speech and conversational skills were poor, The result of her weekly sessions with Linda were amazing, and she got into the school of our choice, and converses with ease and stands taller. Linda is a wonderful person with a welcoming and fun style of working with children. I would thoroughly recommend her.

Linda has been tutoring my son for 11 plus English for some years now.

I have seen my son blossom, he loves his lessons with Linda and has progressed tremendously.

He did not particularly like English and Linda has worked with him to now have a passion for the subject.

He now actually enjoys the subject and can confidently write with creativity.
