They are very good with my granddaughter; they have given her confidence and the ability to do work there instead of a school she couldn’t cope in. – Grandparent of a Year 11 Alternative Education learner

I just wanted to thank you all. X has enjoyed her time with you, she is a different girl to who she was a year ago thanks to your educational setting. We never thought a year ago that we would be where we are now: she is more confident; has made friends and enrolled for college. I’m truly grateful.

The staff are very lovely, it’s the best learning style for me.

Everybody is nice, it’s a good learning space.

Thank you so much for helping me fulfill my dreams and be able to do the job I’ve always wanted to do – Lauren

I received great support from all the team at KST

This has been the best place to study, staff are friendly and very helpful, would recommend everyone to learn here.

I have improved my spelling, writing and speaking. I also improved my confidence.

Before joining Key Subject Tuition, I was in a refugee camp in Folkstone for about three months. When I first came to South Shields, I went to the church from where I got advice to visit Key Subject Tuition so I decided to take part in ESOL there. In general, I had a great time and the atmosphere in the class was familiar and I found it very interesting and helpful. After I have taken the step to improve my English skills I feel more confident than a year ago. I am looking for a job to work as a Lab Assistant at a chemical company. Thank you for your excellent support and encouragement. – Okbit

I was doing functional skills maths and English. I chose to use Key Subject Tuition as these really made me feel at ease and had times which worked around my current shift pattern. I found the course very interesting, all staff members are very professional and friendly. By completing these courses I’ve been able to apply for other job roles within the ambulance service. If anyone is thinking or needing to complete maths or English, I would highly recommend Key Subject Tuition. I’m also signing up to progress to GCSE maths and English. These have been fantastic to work with. Would definitely recommend 100%. Thank you to Claire and her team. – Ethan

I just wanted to message and say a massive thank you for helping me through my English. I also wanted to let you know that because of English and you, I’ve just been offered a place at Newcastle College on the childcare course I wanted to do. – Chloe

I have been living in South Shields for about a year. I have passed E3 ESOL, thanks to these courses I have improved my English and I have found a job as an accountant. Kevin helped to improve my CV and prepare for interview. I remember how shy I was to introduce myself, with this course I learned to speak, write, and read more confidently. Now I have a job and I want to express my gratitude for the help. – Anzhela

I used Claire to help my 15 year old daughter who was struggling with her maths. She worked wonders within weeks. Can’t thank Claire enough and I would highly recommend to anyone.

My 16 year old son is currently doing maths tuition with Claire. I can’t recommend her enough. She’s absolutely fantastic and amazing at what she does. Will most definitely be using key subject tuition for my other two sons.

Lauren,

My son has just finished his 10 week tuition with Clare and I really can’t recommend her enough, Joel has just started year 7 feeling more confident in his maths classes and we will 100% book Clare in the future for extra tuition if he is struggling or has exams, thank you Clare!

My daughter passed her GCSE maths today, 2 grades higher than her previous result. James totally put her at her ease and arranged tailored lessons to target the areas she was weak in. Thank you

Margaret Mark, Parent

If I could give 6 stars to Claire’s tuition I certainly would!! When I got in touch with Claire, my eldest son was attending year 10 and he had a very worrying 2 in maths. Within a year his grades went up to a 4 and finishing with a 5 in his GCSE’s. Claire is now helping my youngest son who is attending year 9. In just 4 months of tutoring his grades went up from a 2 to a 4. It goes without saying that I would want her to be my son’s tutor until his GCSE exams

Marina Park, Parent

Thought you might like to know Millie got into northumbria university to do health and social with 2 distinctions and a merit. Couldn’t have done it without you Claire. You got her over a difficult line. The confidence you gave her has changed her life.
