After a school life filled with 'Dyslexia' type struggles, in his GCSE year at school my son asked for extra support for his English studies. After being frustrated by a tutor website which prioritised demanding money ahead of ensuring a good fit, a personal recommendation came up with Karen Barber. We were on the skids, with just 3 months to go until the GCSE exams.
Karen's background is in turning around kids that have lost their way in mainstream education, she is no nonsense and disciplined, she comes with an innate ability to suss out personality, form a strategy to ensure goals are set and then achieved.
Karen has a good sense of humour which adds an element of fun too. My son needed help getting answers down on paper and Karen provided an insight into the tricks and tips in order to maximise his exam success.
Under Karen's guidance there was a perceptible growth in educational confidence in my son, a real unlocking of potential visible as exam time approached.
I'm so happy to report good passes in both English exams, we are very grateful to Karen for the part she played in providing this help and support.
