Testimonials

"extremely enthusiastic and passionate"

 

I highly recommend Mrs Palastanga as a tutor in both English and maths. My twins were lucky enough to have Emma for tutoring at home for both. By having her home tutoring, it immediately put them at ease. Emma is extremely enthusiastic and passionate in her teaching and therefore was able to transfer that to my children in their learning & make it fun!

By getting to know my children she was able to draw out their abilities and difficulties and then fill in the gaps to help them progress. My children are now in further education and I know that the help Emma gave them has helped them lay the path to fulfil their ambitions. Thank you Emma xx

"we cannot thank her enough"

 

Mrs Palastanga came highly recommended when we were looking for a tutor for our son in Year 2. He needed some help with grammar, reading and writing. Mrs Palastanga made the sessions enjoyable and was really able to engage Aiden (which at the time seemed almost impossible to us!). We noticed a marked improvement in his reading and writing and he was so much more enthusiastic about learning in general.

We have no doubt that Mrs Palastanga's tutoring helped him to achieve an excellent report by the end of Year 2 and a confidence in learning that has continued through school. Mrs Palastanga has left a lasting impression with Aiden (and us!) and we cannot thank her enough for helping to make Aidens learning journey easier!

"Emma carefully tailored weekly sessions"

 

My kids always looked forward to tutoring, it was fun and made them feel important. Emma carefully tailored weekly sessions so that a wide range of topics were covered, and by using a traffic lighting system my kids could easily indicate their understanding.

The flexible approach was constantly being reviewed and topics which were grasped quickly were extended, with more tricky topics given more time and different approaches to develop a real depth of understanding to ensure the basic knowledge is secure before adding more detail.

Emma always arrived with a smile, a positive attitude and bags of patience and every session finished with progress and a sense of achievement.
