My son attended the SEAG scheme ran by “Learn with Mel” (LWM). This was the best investment into my son’s confidence, skills and learning experience. Mel and Jamie both provided a child focus approach, nothing was ever a bother and they kept the parents informed throughout. My son looked forward to attending LWM each Tuesday evening after school. When the scheme finished he stated ‘I wish school was like Learn with Mel’. This highlighted how much my son enjoyed and gained from the scheme. Not only did they provide a positive learning environment, incentives were provided to help the children reach their goals. Mel and Jamie were approachable from the beginning. They continued to provide additional support afterwards through their online Zoom class one week prior to SEAG. This helped reduce anxiety and refresh the skills learnt within the scheme. The online zoom one week prior to SEAG also helped me learn tips to provide support to my son with exam preparation. I would recommend the SEAG scheme to anyone whose child is preparing for the exams or is looking tutoring. Everything was delivered with at a good pace, clarity and focused on my son’s needs. I have seen such a difference from 9 weeks ago prior to the scheme in his learning. I can’t thank Mel and Jamie enough for their kindness, patience and being so welcoming. I will definitely use LWM in the near future as my son progress’s into higher education. We are both sad it’s over but can go into the SEAG feeling confident and reassured thanks to Mel and Jamie. ❤️

Couldn’t recommend Mell enough my Granddaughter Zara had tuition from her for her GCSE English exam and enjoyed every minute . Zara had a hard time in school so the extra tuition was vital and got her through the Exam . As I say I couldn’t recommend Mel enough for the encouragement , confidence building and time that she gave to Zara.

When I decided to get my son a Tutor, Mel was on the ball and got me set up with Ellie on a one to one basis. Mel made the experience stress free and super efficiently. I would highly recommend to anyone.
