  • "We feel very lucky to have Miss Fiona, our children love her lessons. They really enjoy Fiona's storytelling and they like interacting with her. She has helped them to start to read by themselves by teaching them phonics skills and they have gained a lot of confidence. Fiona is very easy to deal with."

  • "We chose Fiona to tutor our girls because she provides fun and interesting lessons and doesn’t just follow a textbook. For example, our eldest daughter enjoyed making a treasure map, which was an interactive activity Fiona created to practice writing and giving instructions. Fiona can also tackle any queries that might come up when the girls are studying and support them to understand and complete exercises for school or exams."
