WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US:

 Gemma tutored my son for his 11+ that he took in September 2022. We recently found out that he passed both his Medway and Kent Tests. We can’t thank Gemma enough for her kind nature, focussed sessions, and all the help and tools that are needed to navigate through the 11+.  Gemma is so approachable and would answer any questions I had and her feedback was always amazing :) - Becca, Mother of M (11+ group sessions)

​

Gemma tutored my son for his 11+. She made him feel comfortable and accepted his unique and wonderful ways. Gemma understood him and taught in a way he understood. 100% recommend mini wAVe. Thank you Gemma. - Michelle, Mother of N (11+ group sessions)

​

Gemma, thank you for being the best tutor ever.  I never would've been as confident as I am now without you - A (1:1 student)

​

Gemma, thank you for everything.  It's been loads of fun - C - (11+ group sessions)

​

Gemma, we just wanted to say a massive thank you for everything this year.  The changes that we've seen in C are unbelievable and we can't thank you enough.  We will miss you but see you again for his sister C's turn :) - Kelly and Adam, Parents of C (11+ group sessions)

​

M is not a fan of learning but happily goes to his class at Gemma's.  Gemma is awesome and very engaging and M enjoys his lessons - Lianne, Mother of M (11+ group sessions)

 

Gemma is fun, kind, nice and teaches me in a fun way.  - M (1:1 sessions)

 

A enjoys the maths as Gemma changes the pace to match the speed of the pupils and their needs.  A enjoys doing some of the activities on the whiteboard.  She explains questions well so A can access them and her teaching style has made A feel confident.  She is well planned, has organised resources and learning is ready to go.  Thank you for teaching A - Hannah, Mother of A (11+ group sessions).

 

Our children are always engaged throughout their sessions with Gemma and they are encouraged (and want to) try their best.  They particularly enjoy the maths games (and the cooking day!).  We really value Gemma's flexibility and approachable nature with her pupils.  Our children look forward to Gemma's lessons and remain engaged for her whole lesson.  She carefully considers each child's curriculum as well as encouraging a deeper understanding where appropriate.  Her planning is very well prepared and so useful for parents too.  We are very happy with Gemma's lessons, the children really enjoy their learning with her and she gives us as parents helpful feedback on a regular basis.  Thank you!!! - Sarah and Colin, parents of A and J (1:1 sessions)

 

Gemma makes learning fun! - J (1:1 sessions)
