What Clients Are Saying

Senior School Student

When I came to the new school, the English lessons there were very hard for me. I was averaging a percentage of 40% and frankly, I was one of the worst English students in my class. Now, after learning with Ross, I was awarded a 93% English result in my year 8 end-of-the-year test.
His help to me is massive and I wouldn't have done it without him.
To anybody that wants a better English result, I would recommend Ross to you.
