I would love to offer some feedback on Derek.
I discussed this response with Jaidan last night and he requested that I let you know that he thinks Derek is AWESOME.
From my observations,Derek quickly created a great rapport with Jaidan which is important for effective communication.
I have queried Jaidan after each session and feel that he is benefitting greatly from Derek's input.
He is feeling more confident and very comfortable to source support from Derek. I could not ask for more at this stage so thank you and more importantly please thank Derek on my behalf.
For now, we won't be continuing but we haven't ruled it out for the future. We were very happy with your service and Jade is a beautiful person! She has helped Keegan with her confidence in Maths and helped improve her grade this year. We postponed tutoring at the end of term 1 because Jade had covered as much as she could before introducing new work, which we didn't want to do until it came up in school. Therefore, we had a break to see how Keegan went, and she's had no problems thus far.
If any problems pop up this term, I plan to get in contact with you and Jade ASAP!
Aiden is really happy with Faraz. He felt a bit awkward the first week but the interactions were much better the second week. Aiden finds it very useful because he needs guided revision (it's not necessarily about learning the content). Definitely a good investment!
