Gabrielle - Brook Green - French

My son, who is 9 yrs old, has mild special needs and is spending the academic year in France. Upon contacting Gaby, she suggested an interview. I outlined my requirements and that I wanted her to teach English, Maths and French. Gaby took on board my sons lack of concentration and prepared her lessons to include short breaks and a visual schedule for my son to refer to. Her lessons covered a range of tasks and her French work was very creative. I consider Gaby to be professional and easy to relate to.

Gaby tutored my son, who is in Year 6 and helped prepare him for his SATs tests. She assessed him to find out his levels and addressed his difficulties. As a result of Gaby's tuition my son did really well in his SATs and is now starting secondary school in the school of his choice. I am very pleased with Gaby.

Gaby has been tutoring my daughter, who is in year 1, for over a year. She helps her with homework and plans extra activities to address any difficulties. She has a great way with children and my daughter enjoys her lessons. Gaby has given excellent tuition and has instilled confidence in my daughter.

Gaby tutored my son in English focusing on writing skills and comprehension. She encouraged Adam, who is in Year 3, to think about what he is writing. His confidence has increased. Gaby also tutored and supported my daughter with French, going through what she did in class making sure she understood it. My daughter, who is dyslexic connected well with Gaby, who understood her needs and gave us some excellent advice. Lily now enjoys French and is gaining confidence everyday.

We originally sought a tutor for our daughter to help prepare her for he 4+ entrance test for private school. Gaby has proved to be brilliant. Lucy is not only able to write her name but is beginning to know her sounds and recognizes letters and numbers. As well as Phonics and handwriting skills Gaby reads stories and plays games with Lucy, questioning and encouraging her to talk about what she is doing. Thanks to Gaby, Lucy passed her 4+ and is starting at Queens Gate school, our first choice school.

We sought a tutor for our son to help prepare him for his 7+ entrance exams. Gaby is a great tutor who is caring, organised and invested. She has shown real committment and was devoted to my son's education. She planned appropriate tasks and activities, addressed areas of difficulty and praised and rewarded him when appropriate.
