My severely dyslexic, 20 year old daughter has always struggled with grasping even the very basics of English...that was until we found Jo. After an initial assessment Jo completely understood my daughter's needs and quickly established the correct teaching methods required to help her. Jo has a very gentle and calm manner and is always encouraging with plenty of praise. My daughter has not only made great strides in her understanding of reading and writing in just a few months, she is now an enthusiastic, confident learner, which is something I never thought I'd say. I would absolutely recommend Jo and only wish we had found her sooner.

Thanks again Jo, you really have helped tremendously.

Jo has been tutoring my son, Oscar since 2018.

My son is 16 and has Autistic spectrum disorder. He needs a teacher who is calm, patient and understanding for him to be able to focus on his work.

Over the years she has built a great relationship with myself and Oscar, though continuing to remain professional.

Two years ago we made the decision to take Oscar out of Mainstream school and educate him at home. Jo was so supportive to us both during the transition and continues to do so now.

His English has really improved over the last few years and he is increasingly gaining confidence.

It was not an easy decision to home educate, especially as my son was coming up to GCSE age, but I can honestly say I couldn’t have done it without Jo.

Ultimately, Jo is a teacher that truly cares.

She works hard to make sure the child is learning in a way that works for them.

She has great ideas and will adapt lessons to suit each child.

She always encourages children calmly and positively.

She has always given me feedback at the end of each lesson and we work together to overcome any concerns she has about my son.

I would highly recommend Jo to anybody looking for someone to tutor their child.

She is kind, caring, professional and a fantastic teacher.

Joanne is extremely caring and brings out the best in her students in a nurturing environment.

She has a holistic approach to teaching and learning which is especially good for children who are anxious in areas, as it creates a calm space to learn.

I have known Jo for approximately two years and she has tutored my children in both English and Maths.

Jo always plans a fun lesson, and integrates games into learning.

Jo always provides positive and useful feedback and is very approachable.

My three children have all become more confident in their subjects

with Jo’s help.

Reviews from students:-

I was looking for an English Tutor and stumbled across Jo’s number in a shop window...so glad I did!

Jo was very calm and patient and made me feel at ease straight away. Jo was very approachable and

explained things clearly and she was very professional. The environment was calm and peaceful with

no interruptions. Jo was very engaging, with a great positive attitude, which I picked up too. I have

grown in confidence and I would highly recommend Jo to anyone wishing for a little extra help to

push them forward. I passed my GCSE English Language and feel very proud and couldn’t of done it

without Jo’s help. I rate Jo 5 stars. Thank you

If I had to describe Jo in one word, it would be ‘helpful’.

Working with Jo over the course of three years has been beneficial to my English work as well as showing me moral support.

Jo always listens to me if I have a problem and has given me great advice on how to overcome things. In fact, just great advice in general.

My English has improved in many ways, especially punctuation, which I previously struggled with.

She has been an outstanding tutor from day 1 and is someone I highly trust and recommend.
