Our daughter (year 4) was really struggling at school and finding it very hard to keep up with the curriculum. After being assessed we discovered that she had dyslexia which affected her working memory very badly, which was why she was finding the work so hard. She would learn something and then the next time she would do it, she couldn’t remember. This was so frustrating for her and also for us trying to work with her.
When Samantha came to us, we were really at a point where we had run out of ideas. Luckily for us, Samantha had lots! She began working with our daughter and within a matter of weeks we could see the progress. Not only was she understanding the work much better but she was also enjoying it much more too. Samantha taught her lots of tricks on how to remember things and if one way wasn’t working, she was quick on hand with another.
​We had always planned to have Samantha for just a year but we were so impressed we didn’t want to let her go. Now it’s been two and a half years and our daughter is about to sit her SATS, yet isn’t bothered in the slightest. She’s looking forward to putting all the skills she learnt into practice and it’s all down to Samantha. We were very sad to say goodbye and only wished she tutored for high school too!

I have only positive things to say about Gold Star Tutors and my dealings with Samantha. I initially contacted Samantha to enquire about registering with Gold Star Tutors mid July 2021. By the end of July 2021, I was fully registered and Samantha had already secured my first booking, which started in September 2021. Mid August 2021 Samantha secured a second booking for me, which started mid September 2021. At the beginning of October 2021, Samantha secured a third booking for me, which started mid October 2021. This booking was secured as a result of a recommendation from my first student's parents, which was very pleasing. Also, mid October the same parents requested that I also tutor their older child. So within three months of registering with Gold Star Tutors I had secured four bookings, which is an ideal amount for me as I also work full time. Communication from Samantha has been great from the beginning, whether that be via email or phone call, she provides a very professional and efficient service. I would recommend Gold Star Tutors to both parents and tutors.

Samantha is a very professional and friendly tutor. She assesses your child's needs then works through them at their pace. She is very reliable and punctual. Samantha will discuss what has been completed at the end of each lesson and will discuss what will be worked on next, therefore always keeping you fully informed. Homework will be set if required.
​Overall, an excellent tutor who will put your child's education first.

Miss Baxter tutored my son whilst he was in year 4 to year 6 in order to increase his literacy skills in preparation for his SATs test. I found her to be punctual, organised and trustworthy, and she ensured that she planned the sessions to build upon what my son had covered the previous week to ensure he made steady progress. She had a very good rapport with my son, and through the use of praise and rewards, he never found his extra sessions a chore. He achieved very well in his SATs and both my wife and I agree that this was thanks in no small part to the extra weekly input given by Miss Baxter. Would highly recommend her to other parents.
