Betteringyouth Avaliações 

I read about Betteringyouth on a fb parents group, when I was looking for a maths tutor for my daughter, to help her prepare for her SATs and to gain more confidence.
Both Sarahlynn and Ethan have been exceptional. Ethan with his games on Maths Sports Club and now, tutoring 1-on-1, has been unstoppable.
Never would I imagine to hear my daughter say she is looking forward to her maths lesson.
Teaching with games or with activities around topics that my daughter love is Ethan’s approach and it works wonderfully. He also gives feedback after each lesson, which is something that helps a lot to keep track of her improvement.

I came across Betteringyouth online when searching for CEM tutors for our daughter who was about to take her 11+. Sarahlynn and Kristen provided exceptional tuition and regular updates on how the lessons were going. Communication was very clear and they applied a great deal of rigour to how they approached her needs. We chose an intensive month of lessons and happily, she passed the 11+ with flying colours! She even got a gifted score in one of the sections. Thank you to Sarahlynn and Kristen for supporting her through this process!

We approached Betteringyouth off the back of a recommendation from a school mam whose son was in the same year and who had been struggling with his English. Sarahlynn partnered our son with Kelly and it was a hit from the first lesson. Kelly’s approach was to build a rapport based on a common interest, and in this case it was movies. Anyone who can talk about Marvel films get Kudos from our son! Over the past 6 weeks, since commencing his lessons with Kelly, we have seen an increase in his self confidence with him wanting to read his work out to us. He comes away from his lessons with enthusiasm which clearly conveys his engagement in the subject. Punctuation has long been a missing element in his work but Kelly has found a way of bringing it to his attention before he submits his work as completed. We still have some way to go but it certainly feels that he has made large strides in a positive direction and he feels more confident in himself which was so important to us. We look forward to continuing our journey with Betteringyouth – thank you

Betteringyouth, from the outset, dealing with Sarahlynn and then working with Anna, our child's tutor, has been pivotal in turning around our son's (12 years) approach and confidence to answering near GCSE level poetry essay questions. I usually help my son but just before Christmas I knew I wasn't able to give him the structure and advice that he needed to move forward. Sarahlynn answered and sorted out my desperate plea for help extremely quickly, especially as it was the 23rd/24th Dec! Our first meeting with Anna was set for between Christmas and New Year - how amazing is that!! We'd read a blog of Anna's online at Betteringyouth and it was the first article we'd read that made 'how to answer poetry essay questions' both clearer and encouraged confidence. For this reason, we'd specifically asked for Anna. I am so pleased that we did. In 4-5 lessons Anna has provided our son with great acronyms for remembering where to begin thoughts and start forming a response, a structure/framework to follow and through encouragement and allowing space for my son to think, formulate and especially, write a response, his confidence has come on and although we're still on an upward trajectory, he's no longer like a deer frozen in headlights, when he sees a poetry essay question but now feels confident he can create a good standard essay reply. Anna, as an exam marker, knows exactly what the examiners will be looking for and how to formulate appropriate answers. My son would get stuck on words or parts of a poem that at age 12, he may not fully understand. Anna encouraged and urged him to focus the spotlight on what he did know and could create a response too and he, knowing Anna's background as a teacher and examiner, believed that he could still get a good mark, without having to fully understand all of the poem. Anna also let my son know that as long as you can back up your point with evidence and an established reason, that was good enough. Even if the examiner hadn't thought of it or didn't agree with it. If it's a robust argument, it will stand and earn points. Thank you Sarahlynn. Thank you Anna. One month later and you've both helped us come from a state of chaos and confusion to one of much greater calm, confidence and acceleration.

Sarah-Lynn guided my 10 year old son through a crash course over half term to prepare him for his ISEB Pre-test for entry into senior schools including Harrow, Eton and Winchester. We worked together to identify the specific sub-topics within Maths, English, Non-Verbal and Verbal Reasoning that he needed extra help with. Sarah-Lynn used their time very efficiently so that everything was covered, but was she still very patient and thorough. She had even taken the time to research inspirational quotes that really resonated with my son so it was lovely to see him full of enthusiasm and looking forward to their sessions. She also sent a report after each session and shared her notes so that we could practice further at home. Thanks to Sarah-Lynn, my son was left feeling happy and confident ahead of his exam.
