"My son who has dyslexia with auditory and visual delay had weekly Saturday English Language and Literature classes to give him confidence and improve his grades. His December 2016 mock exam results were English Language, Grade 3 and English Literature, Grade 2. With the help of The Learning Centre, he achieved English Language Grade 4 Merit and English Literature Grade 5. This is an amazing achievement for him. I'm so very proud and relieved. I have no doubt and my son also agrees that without The Learning Centre and my son’s hard work, this would not have been possible. I highly recommend the additional two hour sessions and The GCSE Easter Revision Classes too. My son found The Learning Centre really helpful in helping him to develop an understanding of the GCSE questions and he gained excellent study skills."

"Dear The Learning Centre Team, thank you for the passion, enthusiasm, kindness and discipline. Thank you for supporting Michael with his GCSE English learning."

"Thank you for giving me great confidence and for developing my knowledge. As a result, I am now attending a brilliant Grammar School. Thank you to all the incredible teachers at The Learning Centre. I used to go other centres and they were too busy marking and there was nobody to help, which frustrated me. Help is on tap immediately at The Learning Centre. It’s almost as if the teachers can read my mind and and are ready to assist, even before I ask my questions. Consequently, I learn quicker. The work I do is harder and a level above school work so it helps me prepare for when the teachers get round to doing it at school."

"Beatriz is very pleased with the teachers at The Learning Centre. They are excellent. Well done for the high level of teaching!"

"We wanted to share some good news with you. Sophia has been moved up to Set One in Maths. We are very pleased with her progress as when she started at The Learning Centre she was in Set Three. With your help she has done ever so well and her hard work and effort has been recognised by her school. Thank you for all your support and for giving Sophia the confidence she needed."

"Nathan attended the half term GCSE revision classes and found them really helpful - thank you! In fact he found them so useful we wondered whether you have any spaces or opportunity for further GCSE Science revision classes either one to one or as part of a small group? Could you let me know? And thanks again."

We will be highly recommending The After-School Learning Centre to all."

"Thank you so much in helping me reach my goal in achieving an A grade in my A-Level Maths."

In both Maths and Double Science papers he was 2 points off an A*. We have requested his papers be marked again as we are informed 2 points is within the margin of potential for an improved grade. We will let you know if we are successful in this. Thanks to you and the teachers at The Learning Centre for your support over the last couple of years. We know the additional lessons gave him increased confidence. We shall be in touch. For your information our son will attend Woodhouse Sixth Form College - which was his preferred option. With best regards,"

"I would like to thank you and your team for all the hard work that you have put into helping Ciaran over the past two years."

"Thank you so much for the wonderful tuition provided to our kids Vetri and Vel. Vetri especially after the initial anxiety has settled well into the tutoring and said that he finds it most helpful. He has given very positive feedback about the teachers and The Learning Centre (including the speed reading course). We have tried other centres and tutors both in St. Albans and London and we are now aware that The Learning Centre is by far the best. We are extremely happy. We would like to continue for the next term of tutoring as well and kindly advise us as to when the next payment is due. Thank you once again."

"We recently returned to The After-School Learning Centre after a year's break trying out various other centres and one to one tutors at home. I can't tell you what a big mistake we made and are so happy to be back. The team at The After-School Learning Centre are always welcoming, professional and nothing is too much trouble. The teachers at The After-School Learning Centre are fully trained school teachers who really know their stuff and constantly provide my children with the attention and teaching they crave, but can't seem to get elsewhere. I also love the fact that all the teaching materials and stationery are included as part of the price and thank you to your teachers who always mark my children's work and for showing them how to put it right with detailed explanations. The progress feedback we receive after the lessons helps me to keep on top of how my children are doing. Thank you for all the wonderful help you offer without which we'd be lost."

"Thank you for your great support in preparing our daughter, Fumi for her the entry exam to Dame Alice Owen’s school. We are very pleased that Fumi passed the exam and she is going to start her new school life there. We are very satisfied with this excellent result and with the fact that Fumi enjoyed attending The Learning Centre. The tests you gave her to complete at home contributed in a big way to preparing Fumi and helping her to pass."

"I would like to express my most sincere thanks to you and both Michael's teachers for the help and support in the last two years.

With best wishes."

Issy felt that the whole lesson was extremely helpful and the teacher explained everything clearly and Issy was engaged for the whole hour. Please pass on my thanks to the teacher."

"Regretfully, due to changing family circumstances, we’ve had to stop the lessons. Our daughter learnt a lot and improved a great deal; we are very happy with the homework and progress feedback provided to parents at the end of every lesson which is excellent. Our daughter always looks forward to attending. I appreciate all the study materials provided for the children. Hopefully we will return soon."

"My daughter attended The Learning Centre for eleven plus preparation in English, Maths and Verbal / Non-Verbal Reasoning. I want to credit The Learning Centre teachers for teaching her to answer exam questions quickly, efficiently and accurately. She has learnt so much more than just passing the exam and the preparation she received for starting secondary school was invaluable. Her confidence has grown tremendously by being taught by excellent and enthusiastic teachers who know how to motivate her. The Learning Centre have kept her well ahead of her peers and she enjoys the discipline of regular homework. Many thanks and God bless you all."

"Simondeep got seven A's, four B's and two C's in his GCSE exams, including grade A's in both English and Maths. This would not have been possible without you. Thank you for all your support."

"Just a short note to tell you how delighted me and my husband are with Leonardo's GCSE English progress. Since attending The After-School Learning Centre, he displays such confidence in his work, something he was unable to do before he attended. His school English teachers are now very pleased with his work and he recently achieved a B grade in his English, when just over a year ago he was an E Grade. We would highly recommend your services to our friends. We would like to thank you and your teachers for both the time and enthusiasm in helping us during this period."

We will recommend you to everybody we encounter!"

"Owen has amazing Maths results. In Year 4 he achieved level 4A which his teacher said is what children normally receive when they leave school at Year 6. Plus he scored 128 where the average is 100 in Maths! His school teacher is over the moon and we’d like to thank you."

"We are delighted with the support James and Richard receive from The After-School Learning Centre. James felt he was well prepared for his secondary entrance exams and gained in confidence. He felt his objective was achievable and this helped him maintain a calm focus on the day of each exam. We are delighted he has obtained a place at QE Boys, which was his first choice. He is very much looking forward to his new school in September. Richard has improved markedly over the past year and now has the confidence and focus to continue learning. He has more of a "can do" attitude. He has come on in leaps and bounds and is now in a better position to keep pace with the rest of his class."

"My son attended The After-School Learning Centre for a year studying Maths and Non Verbal Reasoning in preparation for entrance exams. I highly recommend the school and would not hesitate to send my son again. The professionalism is outstanding with parents receiving detailed feedback, advice and children receiving encouragement and direction. Children are treated in a way that ensures they feel positive in themselves and achieve their potential. There was never a day he questioned attending and came back invigorated in his thirst for knowledge. Congratulations to the school in every aspect of it's conduct and achievement."

"Thank you for the help and support your excellent teachers have given my son. The lessons have been instrumental in his success in GCSE exams."

"After one term’s attendance, our son’s writing has improved ten-fold and he is even joining up! The teaching is tailored to suit his requirements and the regular homework reinforces his learning. The Centre has already proved its worth to my family and we will continue to watch our son go from strength to strength."

"Thank you for the great support given to our daughter. We will miss your warm welcome and she will take with her the positive attitude towards learning throughout her life."

"Thank you for all your hard work in helping our sons gain confidence and a better understanding of Maths. They have become more knowledgeable through your teaching of the basics. Our sons enjoy attending The After-School Learning Centre and you always make us all feel welcome in a relaxed environment - you truly have a wonderful team."

"Thank you for the support you have given Mitchell. At his last parents evening in March his teacher reported excellent progress in Maths. She announced that Mitchell is the most improved student in his class this year. Maths is not my strength and I have been concerned about not being able to help Mitchell sufficiently. This is why I came to your centre and am so pleased to have made that decision. His teacher is confident that he will achieve a good level in his SATs which I am very happy about. This is a direct impact of the support from your centre."

"My wife and I would like to thank The After-School Learning Centre for the work with our son. When he first came he was unable to write much more than half a page. The turnaround in such a short time is breathtaking; even his school teachers commented on the dramatic improvements, which is clearly tangible in his SATs scores. The tremendous improvement in his writing is a testament to the teacher’s commitment to learning. We look forward to further continuation in his development."

"We would like to thank you for your continued support and consistent approach to quality education. We know that your staff's encouragement helped our son achieve his GCSE Maths."

"Thank you for the excellent work your teachers are doing with my son. His confidence has increased considerably and he enjoys his lessons, especially his Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning. My sincere gratitude to you all."

"My husband and I could not be happier with our son’s progress. We needed a teacher at short notice to prepare him for a new private school. The After-School Learning Centre started him off immediately and within a few weeks the improvements were plain to see. Our son is now above and beyond what is expected of him at school. He has exceeded our expectations and we are very proud."

"The After-School Learning Centre’s small-group teaching is more motivating for our son than one-on-one tuition and the thorough feedback after each session is great, enabling us to support him at home. The After-School Learning Centre teaches well, they listen and communicate effectively with parents."

"We are very pleased with the tutoring both of our sons receive in English and Maths. They are more confident and have a better understanding."

"My son’s attendance of The After-School Learning Centre is the best investment I ever made and worth every penny. His rapid improvement after attending a few lessons was clear to see in his school work. He now enjoys Maths and is applying it to daily activities, such as shopping."

"My daughter’s reading, writing and concentration have greatly improved since she started attending The After-School Learning Centre. The extra lessons are fun and enjoyable. I am amazed at how excited she is about completing her weekly homework which helps to reinforce class learning."

"My son is now in the top Maths group in his school as a result of his enjoyment in attending The After-School Learning Centre. I am very happy with the teacher because she is highly experienced and understands the needs of my child."

"My son was due to sit the Higher Level GCSE Maths paper a year early but had been studying the Intermediate syllabus at school. His tutor at The After-School Learning Centre quickly assessed his needs and prepared a plan that filled the gaps which enabled him to achieve a grade B at Higher Level GCSE Maths at age 15. He thoroughly enjoyed his time at The After-School Learning Centre and found everyone approachable and encouraging."

"The highly qualified and experienced team quickly assessed our child’s needs and focussed on boosting his performance. He would have found it difficult to sit the entrance exams without the support and instilling of confidence. The quality of service provided by The After-School Learning Centre has been such that we have enrolled our second child to ensure she is well prepared for her exams."

"We are very pleased with The After-School Learning Centre and the Verbal/Non-Verbal Reasoning teaching methods; the teacher is brilliant and fantastic with children. Annie enjoys working with her and understands the clarification."

"My husband and I are very pleased with the outstanding progress both our children have made in Maths in less than one year. Even their school has noted the improvement with our son progressing by two sets and our daughter moving up one set. They are now both more confident to raise their hands and are getting the answers right first time. We are very happy with The After-School Learning Centre’s detailed feedback after each lesson as we are able to address learning issues immediately."
