Marianne first met Kelly during Lockdown on Zoom, Marianne was lacking in confidence and worried not just about her school work but had a world of worries. She skipped out of the session laughing and happy. Marianne looked forward to seeing Kelly every week, she enjoyed learning and her confidence really has blossomed. She continued to skip out of sessions and was especially delighted to have a library of books to choose from. Kelly understood Marianne’s needs, gave her continuous encouragement and helped her to believe in herself.

Marianne cried after her last session because she’ll miss seeing Kelly, and said she’ll always carry the tutoring they had in her heart; a testament to a supportive and encouraging tutor who establishes positive and compassionate relationships with her students.
