My two children have been having sessions with Cathleen for the past five weeks, twice weekly.

Cathleen is excellent with both of them; having taken the time during the early lessons to create a connection with them. She clearly understands the psychology of children and learning.

Cathleen understands the curriculum inside out and is guiding both of my children through it well, stretching the one who needs it by pushing him into the next year’s material and ensuring my other child has adequate coverage across all of the curriculum. She is also flexible with her style, dealing with my daughter’s ADHD very well.

Cathleen uses technology to great use within the lessons, and I love the summaries that she sends me each week to share how the children have got on.

I couldn’t have asked for better help in getting me and the children through the nightmare of home school and full time work.
