I am getting on very well at The College of Commerce and I am doing a course in legal administration. Thank you for the help you gave me.

Val took our son through his A Level Maths with consummate professionalism, easing his fears with an unflappable confidence. He grew as a human being through her kind consideration and we remain very grateful.

Valerie spent a great deal of time with both our son and later our daughter through difficult periods of their lives, both educationally and personally. We have a lot to thank her for.

I started off really hating Maths, but Mrs Baker always started every lesson with “And now for the best subject in the world” until I believed it! She’s great.
