over the years I had pupils who believed they could not do well, but after few lessons, and positive fed back from school, they realised how far they have come, and this just give them enough motivation to believe in themselves and carry on. So whatever your goals; exams, pleasure, business, holiday in France, I will ensure that you will progress and give you all the support that you need.
