What People Say
Antonia clearly has an amazing rapport with her pupils and is able to turn that to great advantage in getting the best out of them in their after school sessions. My son always came out of his lessons on a huge high and was massively buoyed up and enthusiastic about what they had covered.
I could not speak more highly of Miss Antonia's teaching. She brings joy to the classroom and her students adore her.
Antonia's unique teaching style is one that my son had never encountered before. He struggles with dyslexia and has always been in the 'bottom' class at school. Miss Antonia was able to show him that he has 'secret weapon' in that he had a very vivid imagination and was able to tell stories very well. She used this to help him understand how and why stories are written which greatly helped him in both him Creative Writing and Comprehension.
We were lucky enough to have Antonia help all 4 of our children during the pandemic. Our children struggled with online learning and as soon as she was able to she would come to our house at the weekend and help them all to catch up. They finished the year far ahead of where they started!
Through her work with my son Antonia built up his self-confidence and he has improved his English skills very much. He is now able to work independently, is not afraid about new tasks, and is using his grammar and punctuation with consistency. Now he loves to write his own stories and to develop his own ideas. Miss Antonia also supported him before exams in Maths to make sure he knew the subject matter. My son loved his “Miss Antonia Club” and always proudly showed me his work with her.”
We felt very lucky that our daughter was able to join Miss Antonia's lessons. She developed a brilliant flare for creative writing and started Weekend Story Club at home!
Miss Antonia is a fantastic teacher. She gets to know her students very well very quickly, build trusting relationships rapidly, and identifying the weakest points swiftly. Her lessons are very efficient following a good pace. She knows the curriculum very well and is always willing to help in any way.
Our daughter always came out of her lessons on a huge high, feeling confident and happy with her own achievements. Antonia's lessons were not only informative but seemed to elate her in her own working and abilities. We were so sad when our lessons came to an end!
Antonia's after school 'Miss Antonia Club' fast became the highlight of my son's week. From Reception he had been considered weak at maths and within a few sessions he was able to have the confidence to do much harder maths problems and put his hand up in class and ask questions when he was unsure!
