Featured testimonial from parents of a Primary school child
My family have been tutored by Janet now for the past 12 years. She has worked with all 4 of my children, some of them from before school age until year 9; currently she is working with two of my children.
She has the experience and skills to offer continuity of teaching through many years whilst offering the children great curriculum support throughout the primary school and into secondary school. When they are little, Janet knows what they need to do next to progress and as they get older she encourages them to start to take more responsibility for their own work by taking suggestions from the children about the work they want to improve, as well as knowing what they should have help with.
She is flexible to meet children’s changing needs and supportive of parents as they try to help their child to do the best they can. When a child is struggling, she gives them patient help to enable them to progress step by step, and boosts their confidence. She makes learning fun and helps the children to see that they can achieve what they are struggling with, even if it is going to take hard work. My children found it most useful that Janet gave them structure and skills to remind them of the method to use, with certain topics, so that they could put that into practice in school and succeed on their own.

Testimonials from Secondary school children and parents
On many occasions Target Tutoring has been able to help secondary age students because their skills in certain areas may have a particular weakness and their curriculum needs fall within that of a very able primary child. This has most frequently happened when a personal recommendation has preceded initial contact and parents have made the choice based on this and the rapport they believe I can forge with their child. I have worked with Key Stage 3 & 4 students in school to support them in one-to-one sessions, and have taught Study Skills to classes of Year 9 students to enable them to optimise their revision techniques as they approach their final school exams, before they enter Key Stage 4.
