Testimonials
 "My daughter Anita started lessons hoping to pass her SATs. With constant daily work with My Own Tutor her smile grew bigger every day. I have high hopes that her secondary tutoring will also be extremely rewarding. I do implore many to parents to join "My Own Tutor" for it not only has brightened our smiles but has been very rewarding. Having a part time job and knowing my daughter can study anywhere is fantastic, it broadens her knowledge and increases her self-esteem. "      "Brilliant; brilliant; brilliant. Unbelievable value. I don't know how you do all this for £10 a week. "      "The service you give is just great. It's been a lifesaver at homework time...no more slamming doors! The lessons have helped so much. Thanks so much."      "For years unending I struggled with the effort to cut down on TV viewing addiction amongst my kids, a very tough one. When I got this recommendation it was just a trial, at least to keep them off the TV while I searched for a more permanent solution. But after a year of use I can confidently recommend it without reservations. It has curbed the addiction to a large extent."      "It’s Home Lessons on line, with exciting games while they learn. I have achieved sanity without stress because a threat to deny use of "My Own Tutor" brings out the best in my boys. So it's a win/win game for all concerned - less of TV, learn, have fun at the same time."      "Lydia's maths teacher came up to me after school today and asked what's happened to her. She's improved so much in the last 4 weeks. And we have been subscribing to My Own Tutor for 5 weeks now! Thank you soooooooooo much."      "My daughter went up one set in Maths during the Free Trial!! That's good enough for me. I'm signing up."      "This is a fantastic program, Jessica has been doing bits of it to try it out, and has loved every minute of it.We are going to carry on, initially as an addition to her school work, and hopefully full time within the next few months. I am already recommending you to other people. In addition l would like to do this myself part time, but l am taking myself back to year four, l have no qualifications and never learnt at school."      "After we signed up, my son went from an E to a C in 6 months in Maths GCSE."      "Firstly,we'd like to say thank you for setting up our account so swiftly and the fantastic support to set it up - great clear directions (suitable for tired mums!) that I could relay easily to everyone over dinner."      "Leon has finally finished playing lots of games and thoroughly enjoying himself. About time education was fun again....really!"      "I've recently trialled MOT and have found it very beneficial to my family so have signed up for a year."      "We had to take Debbie out of school because of bullying. We were very nervous about it, of course. Were we doing the right thing? How were we going to make sure that Debbie still got schooling? My Own Tutor has been a great help. It provides a framework of study for Debbie to follow, and the reports are really useful way of measuring her progress."      "This website is excellent, and provides a tailored programme for up to 4 children for an affordable monthly fee."      "We have looked at MOT with great success."      "Stephen was delighted with what he saw as he felt it didn't resemble the usual mundane study websites."      "I've never paid anything for online programmes before, but this works out much cheaper than using a tutor at home! There are teachers you can phone six days a week (5-8 weekdays and 10-1 Saturdays) who'll talk you or the child through anything they have problems with, and will use the interactive online whiteboard to explain things up to GCSE level."
