EXCELLENT Based on 31 reviews Posted on F AbbasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly Recommend!! Our Son who is now in Yr6 had been struggling with maths since Yr1, at school he was put in a separate set to help him and needed TA support, we also placed him at another well-established tutoring centre, he just was not progressing and was below average. It was after his SATS in year 5 we thankfully found Happy Hedgehog after doing a search on Google. I contacted Joanne with my concerns who kindly carried out an initial assessment to identify where the gap was. I'd say within a month we saw a massive improvement, our son began to enjoy his maths lessons, he enjoys attending his sessions with Joanne as she hasa unique way of teaching. Currently in year 6 he has progressed and has been taken out of the support group as he has taken a great leap all credits to Joanne's one to one sessions. Joanne works efficiently and there is consistency with her sessions, communication is fantastic via emails we receive progress reports and homework, Joanne does not pressurise our son or us, I would say there is magic in her style of teaching we are so grateful to Joanne for bringing the best out of our son, he has also become very confident in school since progressing with his maths. The location is ideal, easy to get to as well and its a lovely little setting. Thank you Joanne.Posted on Elizabeth Malek (E M)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joanne is a fantastic tutor. My daughter looked forward to every session. Joanne made learning fun as she has a real passion for maths, and knows just how to capture the children's attention. Highly recommended 👌.Posted on Heather ColemanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter has been attending weekly one to one sessions since February 2025. During this time I have seen much progress. Her primary school teacher has also recognised this, even awarding her a certificate for her accomplishments. I would highly recommend Joanne Adams.Posted on lois peersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are so pleased with the progress our son has made since working with Mrs Adams. He has always found it difficult to focus in lessons and was quite behind in maths, but Mrs Adams has been incredibly patient, encouraging, and creative in their approach. They take the time to explain concepts in different ways until he understands, and they make learning fun so he stays engaged. We’ve noticed a big improvement in his confidence and willingness to have a go at challenging questions. It’s lovely to see him proud of his work again. We can’t recommend Mrs Adams highly enough!Posted on vicky sergeantTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joanne at Primary Tuition has been amazing over the last year helping to prepare our son for the 11+. Having weekly maths and verbal reasoning tuition can be tough for a 10 year old. However, our son has taken to it confidently and enthusiastically. I believe this is down to Joanne’s teaching. He will have lifelong skills that will help with his further education. We would highly recommend Joanne and Primary Tuition.Posted on Deana ParkTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’d give ten stars if I could. We came to Joanne as my daughter was losing her engagement at school with Maths. Joanne has got her back on track and loving Maths again. Joanne.. you are an absolute God-send. Thank you Joanne.Posted on LauraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Mrs Adams for Maths tuition, she’s is very friendly and seems to have a way of explaining things that just makes the penny drop for my daughter. So much so, when we went for parents evening my daughter’s teacher told us how proud she is of her in Maths, she’s seen a huge improvement in class, and how much confidence she now has. My daughter even got star of the week for her improvement in maths, all that improvement and confidence and my daughter has only being going to Mrs Adams for a couple of months! Before seeing Mrs Adams my daughter would get frustrated and angry when it came to doing her maths, and sitting her down to do it was near impossible, but since going to Mrs Adams my daughter will now get home from school get out her maths and do it straight away with confidence - she also can’t wait for her session with Mrs Adams each week, she enjoys them so much!Posted on Sadie DerbyshireTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jo tutored our daughter in Maths & Verbal/ Non Verbal reasoning between August 2024 and January 2025. Jo is an excellent teacher and made our daughter feel at ease right from the start. Her confidence soared within only a month of being with Jo and she was thriving as one of the top of her class when she started back at school in September. Jo is very responsive and informative outside of tutoring time too and always had time for us regardless what day/time when we needed advice. Jo is highly skilled at what she does and I would 100% recommend her services without hesitation to anyone considering tutoring for their child. Thank you for everything Jo xxPosted on Rodwell MubareTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It has been great working with Jo, she is a great teacher. I admire her level of professionalism, always keeping me updated about my son's progress along the way. My son has learnt a lot under Jo's tutorage. He has enjoyed his sessions immensely, always looking forward to the next lesson as well as the homework he gets from her. Keep up the fantastic work Jo, you are so great!Posted on Sian FlanaganTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joanne has been invaluable in helping my child progress, gain confidence and learn to love maths. My child settled in straight away due to Joanne's nurturing style and has made fantastic progress in a matter of weeks. I would recommend her without question.
