January 2025: From a grateful mum:
'My daughter passed NCEA Level 1 Maths. I absolutely know that we would not have achieved such a stellar effort from her without your excellent teaching methods. Thank you so much. She has an air of confidence about her and it's because of you.'

June 2022: A mother's unsolicited online comment...
'My 12 year old daughter loves these classes, and her maths confidence is definitely improving. Her mindset has shifted from "I can't do maths, I'm rubbish at it" at the start of February to 'I really enjoy learning about it now.' Sandra is so imaginative and creative with her lesson content, and her passion for teaching is very obvious when you meet her. Highly recommend π'
