There's nothing better than seeing a child suddenly have the 'light-bulb-moment' when they've been working really hard on something tricky - see what students and parents think about their tuition below...
"Holly's a really good maths teacher. She had a fun way of making me remember units - with the question 'what are they - penguins? pigeons? partridges?'
Now I always think of that and I don't forget to mark the unit places!"
Student T (11 yrs)
"Thanks for all you have done for her readiness for secondary school, now she doesn't feel behind at all."
Lynne, Mum to T (11yrs)
Playing maths games relaxes younger children so that they can concentrate on the maths without getting stressed. And who doesn't love a mammoth?
Once you've waded through your GCSE text book questions, it's a good idea to have a go at practice exam papers in a quiet room with a timer (and lots of sweets to keep you going!).
Asking younger children to check their work using a calculator can be really exciting for them and gives them a feeling of control over their learning.
"Holly is an excellent teacher for both of my children. She has a clear, patient teaching style and a real ability to explain complex concepts in a way that builds confidence and understanding."
Michelle, Mum to H (15 yrs) and X (18 yrs)
"Holly has been an asset to my son's education from the start, I've noticed such positive changes in him since she arrived, couldn't ask for better!"
Natalie, Mum to E (14 yrs)
