Student Success Story

Parent Testimonial

'We approached Learning Plus after several years of struggling to help our daughter with her reading. Jo, Olivia, Luca, and Frances have been the most supportive and inspiring team for her. She has gone from being scared of learning, to excited about attending her lessons and has grown in confidence more than we could have ever hoped. She has had such a change in her that when we asked if she wanted to attend a second lesson for maths each week she was really excited. The team have been massively supportive of both us and our daughter. We cannot express our gratitude enough with their dedication. They have a clear love of helping the kids at the centre.'
