Reviews from others

“Bronwyn quickly gets to know the child and their areas of strength and weakness. She comes up with innovative ways to help them. ”

- Nikki

“She went out of her way to find exercises and additional teaching information that I can use to practise what I have learnt and to find answers and report back to me on particularly 'extra-ordinary' questions which I posed to her during our lessons. The reason why I have rated the feedback report on me as student as 'average' is because I believe that Bronwyn has been too kind!”
