“We've seen a real improvement in both his confidence and his progress.”
“Robert has been fantastic with our 13-year-old son. He's patient, encouraging, and really understands how to make learning work for him.
We've seen a real improvement in both his confidence and his progress, and one thing we've especially appreciated is the comprehensive feedback Robert provides after each session. It keeps us informed, helps us understand what they're working on, and shows just how much thought and care goes into every lesson.
We're so grateful for Robert's support and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to any family looking for a brilliant dyslexia tutor.”

“It rebuilt his confidence and belief in his work.”
“Robert engages very well with our son and plans his sessions around his specific needs. The strategies he has taught him quickly led to a noticeable improvement in his academic work and, more importantly, rebuilt his confidence and belief in his work.
Robert has also incorporated schoolwork into sessions, making the teaching relevant and showing him how to apply new strategies to his own work. We can see the positive impact on his engagement and written work and would highly recommend Robert.”

“Working with a professional has made a real difference.”
“At the end of 2025, I was struggling with reading and writing even the simplest sentences and phrases. My goal was to improve my reading and writing skills, and I can say I've done that.
I'm now able to write meeting minutes at work in a way that's understandable to me and others. Working with a professional has made a real difference, and I'm happy about the progress I've made so far.”

“Robert has been an absolute lifeline for our family.”
“Robert has been an absolute lifeline for our family in our ongoing battles with the Local Authority over our daughters' EHCPs and educational placements.
Navigating the SEND system can feel utterly exhausting and adversarial, but Robert brought deep expertise, absolute professionalism and unwavering tenacity to our case. He expertly guided us through holding the council to account and ensuring our statutory rights were upheld.
I cannot recommend his consultancy services highly enough to any family trying to secure the right provision for their child.”

SEND Consultation
“Robert's communication and organisation were excellent; he pays very close attention to detail, and offered us a supportive ear throughout.”
“His ability to listen empathetically and build rapport quickly was also evident when working with our daughter, and he offered her clear but gentle instruction throughout.
The findings were clearly laid out in a very comprehensive report, which offered valuable insights into next steps and provided useful conversation starters with the school and SENDCo.”
