Feedback

I’m just writing a quick email to thank you for your (ongoing) work with one of my school tutees.  Before their time with you, they were becoming increasingly anti-social and isolated,  but over the last year and a bit, they have included themselves in their friendship group in the form and are becoming increasingly more confident interacting with others socially.

I really believe your work has made a huge difference to this student.
