Reply from: John: At 5, Jack is the youngest client I have ever had for the S.L.D training. I was as nervous as he was! It was wonderful the way it went -seeing a positive result, and working with you both.
From Sione/John (/5): I've seen John for a few weeks now and already i've had huge improvement on my reading, memory, punctuation, writing and reading comprehension… I am looking to join the New Zealand police but I needed up-skilling on my literacy skills. With a few more lessons John will help me achieve this level I need to proceed with my application. He is patient and very friendly, he makes learning fun how it should be. I am always excited for his lessons because i learn something new each session.
Kind regards
Sione .

From Ivan (/5): John has started working with my son (7yrs) and my daughter (12yrs) he has only seen them 3 times and we have had some positive results already. Tx John great work
Reply from: John: Thank you. It is my absolute pleasure.
From Julienne (/5): John was absolutely great - responsive immediately, thoughtful and helped me understand where my nephew was in terms of his reading and gave me great insight into working memory and how things connect together. I was in a really difficult situation with my nephew coming to live with me and so needed help to understand what best level to target his schooling and what might come up in terms of difficulties. This is in vast contrast to **Contact Detail Removed**. I would love to have had my nephew tutored by John, but unfortunately my nephew is not willing to engage (and that has nothing to do with John) - Kind Regards Julienne
Reply from: John: Thank you ! He was so distraught. IIt was the best I could do, just to try and show you how APD affects working memory. I hope he will elect to undertake the programme at some point.
From Kausar (/5): hi,thank you for visiting us in such a tight schedule.we hope to see you during school holidays and wish to embark on a learning journey with you.

From Jack (/5): Hi First Tutors
On behalf of our son Jack I would like to say I'm very please with Jack's progress. Jack likes his lessons with John. He says they are fast and fun and that's because John explained to us and Jack that his brain thinks fast and he really doesn't have a reading problem it's more of a how Jack processes information and he needs guiding. Jack's school teachers couldn't tell me anything at all.
Kind regards
Hine Knightbridge
