Lorraine's story

Parent

I would like to thank Mrs. Stewart and her fantastic team of teachers in supporting my 2 boys aged 12/14 years. We joined Summit last year after many years of using other methods, such as Kumon and one-to-one tutoring at our home. We spent a lot of money and achieved varying results.

When my children joined secondary school, they seemed to be struggling with the end of term tests, so again I began the search for additional support and was fortunate to stumble across Summit. I was extremely encouraged by the reviews of parents and children using Summit and what Summit could offer, but equally what was expected from us as a family. Meeting Mrs. Stewart was instrumental in my decision to join the Summit Saturday School. She understood our plight and demonstrated a commitment from the moment we met, to help us work towards the required knowledge to meet the challenges of secondary school.

Mrs. Stewart allows the children to have a voice and input in their learning experience. She is a dedicated teacher, educator, and mentor in every sense of the word to both children and parents and understands the challenges of the education system and how parents feel lost in what direction to take when their children are struggling. I now have every confidence my boys will achieve their full potential and no longer fear them failing due to not understanding what is required to get through the various hurdles to exam success.

My boys initially struggled with the idea of coming to school on a Saturday, but now they just they get on with it and their schoolwork reflects a better understanding and confidence. Every now and then I hear my boys say they did well in a lesson, followed up by “I learned that at Summit.” There is still a long way to go, but we know we are in the right place to achieve the best results all round. Thank you Summit!
