“My son Jake used to feel so overwhelmed when it came to reading and writing, but working with Justine has completely changed that. Her patience and calm demeanor have made such a difference, and Jake looks forward to his sessions every week. He’s gained so much confidence in his reading, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the progress he’s made!”
“Justine has a wonderful way of connecting with children and putting them at ease. Lily used to dread reading, but now she approaches it with excitement and curiosity. Justine’s ability to inject humour into lessons makes learning enjoyable, and Lily always comes away smiling and proud of what she’s achieved.”
“Oliver has struggled with spelling and writing for years, but Justine’s structured approach and unwavering patience have been a game-changer. She explains things in such an engaging way that Oliver feels supported and never judged. We’ve seen so much improvement, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking literacy support!”
