"Both our daughters love going to VAKs, and even look forward to their Saturday tuition classes. Both have grown in confidence at school, and have excelled in their maths and english subjects. I would highly recommend VAKs to anyone looking for extra tuition."

"VAKs has helped my daughter so much, she has grown in confidence and finally VAKs has helped her understand, she struggled so much in the past. She is now coming home saying she actually likes english!!! Thank you so much VAKs xx"
Andy
"We have only been working with VAKs for a short time but have already seen some real benefit. I feel extremely confident that this team have absorbed my sons personal situation and are now in the process of filling in a few holes that had been left in his learning previously. Many thanks guys"
Caroline
"My son started going to VAKs initially for Maths tuition but after a short while I was so impressed with the way the classes were run and the progress he was continually making that I decided to send him to English Tuition also. I can’t praise the whole VAKs set-up enough from the Tutors through to the admin staff – and I endorse them because I’ve had Tutors on and off for my children from primary through to secondary but I wish I’d discovered VAKs a lot sooner."
