Real Stories from Happy Parents & Students
Completed by a questionnaire at the end of the academic year.
I am very happy with the sessions, the girls have fun every time. I feel like I am very update with both their progress each week. I am slightly concerned Jessica is dyslexic however her confidence has blossomed with her tutors help. I am very happy with the way we communicate. Each time I have raised concerns, queries I have felt listened to. I would definitely recommend you to a friend.
We started tutoring because we did not want to build a barrier to learning for an of our children and wanted to them to be confident in school. Their end of year report justifies this and could not be happier. Anna has never got expected in reading before but she has this year!

I am very happy with the sessions. A is always looking forward to 'play' learning. The reports shared about A progress are great and do not have any concerns about my child's progress. I really have nothing to recommend A really enjoys the sessions. I am happy with the methods we use to communicate with each other and feel all my queries and views have been listened to, I do not feel there is any changes I would like to see in my child's sessions and would highly recommend you to friends.
Mirela- Parent of 6 year old
Tia was fully engaged throughout the phonics session from start to finish. I really appreciate the variety of teaching methods used with her especially the balloon words activity and the frog game which she thoroughly enjoyed. You clearly identified the sounds she needs to focus on and the feedback provided was both thoughtful and helpful for supporting her practice at home in preparation for the test.
Thank you for your help as she passed with 35/40 a solid pass.
Miss H- Parent of 7 year old
I have been so happy with the sessions. The best tutor my girl has she is thriving.
I feel up to date on everything the end of session feedback is very thorough and detailed. Z has progressed a lot since starting with Miss Banjo and loves her sessions. I am very happy with the method of communication and 100% listened to when I have raised queries, views or suggested.
I think the sessions are perfectly catered to Z needs and I am very happy. You are doing an excellent job. I am so glad you use the play method to teach and with children who are struggling you are AMAZING!
Alia- Parent of 6 year old
My child always looks forward to their session and makes a mental note on when the next session is. Normally, my child would tell me to cancel a person's arrival or a lesson that she does not enjoy. However this has never happen with Miss Banjo. Miss Banjo has not only assessed the needs of my child for her education but I feel she also knows her on a personal level. She has put the effort in to also understand her psychology and adapts accordingly.
You have a natural talent and are a blessing for us. I am grateful to have you in our lives and I look forward to you also teaching the second child once she is ready.
I would definitely recommend the service and began to spread the news to her school.
Asma- Parent of 7 year old
My child absolutely loves Miss Banjo and has so much fun since her first lesson. This is a massive breakthrough as tuition she didn’t even want to hear about Maths as it gave her bad anxiety . Now my child even tries to independently complete Maths work independently and switches on Maths games on Youtube just like the session. The school have even seen and commented on the change she has towards Maths now. You have made a big difference and she is looking forward to the next lesson . Keep up the good work.
Tanya- Parent of 8 year old
Before starting tuition she strongly disliked anything related to learning. However, I’ve seen a massive change in her behavior and attitude. Now on her own she draws pictures and writes independently without being asked. Her reading skills have also improved, and overall now has a positive attitude towards learning all thanks to the support of tuition.
We would definitely recommend the service to other parents.
Maureen& Chisom- Childminder&parents of 7 year old
I am very happy with the service my child has been having and receive a handover after the session alongside pictures and videos alongside a very thorough writeup. My child used to cry and struggled going to school plus found it hard to with cooperate anything related to education.
NOW it is hard to get him to go to bed as Miss Banjo has massively built up his confidence that he always writing stories, comics and diary in his book. He really enjoys the session and can see the positive impact it has hard, his writing, reading and Maths has come along way. Whenever I have a query it is always answered and explained. The service is amazing and would definitely recommend it to a friend.

Miss Banjo has unique approach and has creative materials. My child is always interested and excited for the sessions.
Parent of 5 year old
Myself and my child are happy with the sessions she has been having. Week in week out my child gives me positive feedback that she has enjoyed the session.
At the end of the session I have always been informed what she has learnt, what work she has done alongside her strength and weakness during the session and would definitely recommend the service and begun to with close friends.

Friend- review on social media page.
I have seen a huge improvement with daughters reading since starting with Hands on Tutoring. My daughter constantly asks when Miss Banjo is coming as she thoroughly enjoys her fun approach to learning. She has grown in confidence and I truly recommend Hands on Tutoring.

Children's reviews
You have helped me at school because I'm getting less stuck on my reading test and I am more independent at school and no longer need support from the teacher (said with confidence).
My favourite things about our sessions are the games and playdoh. I love our sessions and there is nothing you can do to make it more enjoyable because it is fun. I would recommend you to people but not my friend because its a secret.
Child A- 8 years old
I found Year 1 a little bit tricky before you came to our house but now I do not because you teach me more. I also passed my phonics test because of your fun games and got every single one right.
My favourite things are sometimes when we do craft and I love being creative. To make our lessons more enjoyable I would like to do more art and craft because we do not do it much. Yes I would recommend you to a friend but it is also a secret so only if they ask.
Child J- 6 years
Our lessons have helped me all the time and I learned time (trying to say he was taught them before his peers). I also do story writing with you al the time and tell jokes.
My favourite things about our sessions are; making jelly, hot chocolate, story writing, playing What the time Mr Wolf board game and bowling.I would not like to change anything about the session as I love it so much I would kiss it. I would like more ice-cream to make it more enjoyable.
I would recommend you to more friends at school.
Child A- 6 years old
You've helped me by learning phonics, Maths and my writing. My favourite things about our sessions are the games we play; playing with playdoh, the fish game, spinny game on your laptop (wheels of names) and bowling.
There is nothing I would change about the sessions as I already like play learning. I would not tell my friends I have you because it is a secret but 2 already have you so.
Child A- 6 years old
I really enjoy the session and I want the sessions to be longer so we can do some more things.
Tutoring has helped me at school because that what my teacher says and that what me and my mum think to. My writing has improved it has got a lot more 'bigger' (better) and I write more words. My Maths is a lot better. With the times table it has made it easier at school. It started off hard but when I did with you and I got to school it was easier.
My sounding out (phonics) has gotten better because of the tutoring session. Although I'm still on the support table I do not need a lot of help now.
At school I have already told my friends about you ''If you ever need help with stuff I have this tutor called 'Miss Banjo' she is really good at her job and she helps you improves a lot. All this things you see is from her helping me improve everyday.
Child R- Age 7
Tuition has helped me at school because I needed practice with my cursives writing. It helped me with my addition and subtraction and I even learnt the column method before school taught me. Tutoring helped me with my past tense and presence tense, my comprehension that I do in school sometimes. In Maths it supported me with my half and quarters because I was struggling before.
My favourite things are;
- Brain breaks, and play games.
- Being creativity and imaginative creating a superhero and describing her, creating my own story.
- Writing diary entries.
- I also loved the fireworks.
Maybe I would recommend you to a friend because you teach me about everything that I learn in school and we can go through it again.
Often the topics we learn at school we do together.
Child S- Age 7
I feel tutoring has helped by doing lots of division work with me and it has made the work at school really easy. You have also helped me with my reading and my reading has gotten better because of you. I have got better at writing and phonics too.
At school I am smarter and listen more to my teachers but I never used to all the time. Today I played a game and I went up to level '1500'.
My reading has gotten better.
My favourite thing about the session is the fun games we play, going outside to do learning and everything else. The lessons are very good but I don't want to tell my friends everything because they will tell everybody and become chatterboxes.
