Testimonials from parents

  • ‘Dear Cat, G is really enjoying her classes with you and very excited about all the stories she is writing- what a change! Thank you so much. Best wishes, C.
  • ’Dear Cat, I just wanted to let you know that you are clearly doing wonders for T. He seems to be enjoying seeing you so much and is getting a lot out of it. His confidence has had a real boost. Thank you! S
  • ’Dear Cat, I cannot thank you enough! What you have taught the girls, the confidence you established, the eagerness and inspiration you evoked in them is nothing short of a miracle. You gave them a wealth of knowledge and curiosity, even in that short time, which is so deeply rooted, that it will last well beyond exam days. Thank you so very much! Yours sincerely R’ (her twin daughters were accepted in to all three of their chosen senior schools)
  • Thanks Cat, H found it hugely useful (3rd Year University dissertation planning) He said he was bit skeptical at first…but by the end was so happy to have come to you, you worked some kind of magic there Cat, thank you so much.
