Parent of a student aged 13:

My daughter had been failing in school. Francesca was recommend by another professional. A SALT assessment was conducted and Francesca had taken her time to get to know my daughter.
We have since had SALT sessions along with a diagnoses that we had long waited for. Francesca is very caring and a fault has the child’s interest at heart. She goes out of her way to help. Which we have never had before. She doesn’t just assess and dismiss. She is always at hand if any issues arise or if you need any clarity. Francesca makes sure that my child understands a subject before going into the next stage.
Honestly is an amazing SALT. I have moved to the other side of the country and I am coming back for a reassessment from Francesca.
Honestly, I would give 5 stars.
Parent of 10 year old student:

My son has been having 1-1 lessons with Francesca for well over a year now. He formed a good relationship with her very quickly, she understands his needs. She teaches him in a way that he understands. He has really progressed since starting with her. He’s always enjoyed his lessons with Francesca and is always happy to do his lessons with her, yet he hates school so much.
Francesca has always been very supportive and very helpful and easy to approach. If I won the lottery I would employ her full time as Jack’s teacher, I did tell her I think she needs to get a job at his school as his teacher.
I think any child gets to work with Francesca is extremely lucky and will really benefit.
Parent of an 11 year old student:

We can’t recommend Fran highly enough. She made us all feel very at ease especially our daughter. The report she produced was praised by professionals involved in our daughter care. I’m so glad we chose Fran. We felt we were in safe hands.
Parent of an 11 year old student:

Francesca is an excellent SALT. Our daughter has been having tuition via Zoom with her for quite some time now and really enjoys her lessons as they are so fun and interactive so it doesn't feel like being at school. Fran has also been a huge help to myself and my husband in understanding the intricacies of Dyslexia, DLD and ADHD. She is always available to help and has quite recently been very supportive when we have applied for an EHCP for our daughter and continues to be.
