A child's learning is like a journey where some parts are covered quickly and easily, but at other points there are hold ups. Then we have to wait patiently until understanding is achieved and we're ready to move on again. Shropshire Tutor can make a positive difference. We offer private tuition from ages 4 to 11 in Maths, English and French.
