So many kind words have been spoken about the team at Educate First, and I simply want to echo those sentiments by expressing immense gratitude for their support during a challenging period for both my children and our family. Their tutoring sessions on Saturdays have been invaluable in providing much-needed assistance during this time. Thank you a million times over.

I read the reviews about Educate First but wasnt sure if they were genuine. I had to make sure that this is right place for your kids. To be honest Im very fussy when it comes to my kids. I have to say that I was very impressed when I went to the Educate First centre and so I sent my kids for a month as a trial.This is an excellent place for kids who want to learn and do well at school. The staff are really good and give out helpful advice to parents. The kids love going here and its also pretty convenient as its on a Saturday.I will be sending my kids again here when the new school term starts.

My twins been going here for a while.At first I was not happy as the work was just too hard and both my kids are too shy to say anything. I spoke to be teacher and she was already aware that the kids were very quiet and shy. She was also aware of the stuff they found hard and provided extra help on those topics.The kids have a test each month and have shown to get better as time goes on.I really wanted to send my twins somewhere where they liked going and but also learn at the same time.

At the start I had my doubts about this place as there were six kids in the group and wasn't sure if my twins would get the help they need. Anyways I stuck with it just because it was dead cheap and easy to get to from my home.The decision to stay on paid off. Now I am really happy with the results the twins are getting. They can still do better and so will enrol them again.In all honesty I think the teachers here are doing a great job and I can see just how passionate they are about helping the students.

It has to be said that after having several tutors come to my home to help my son and failing I decided to give EducateFirst in Leeds a go. I finally think I have found the right people. I found that tutors at Educate First are honest, trusting, friendly and very professional as they have done a great job helping my son improve his school work. He is more confident at school and his school teacher has noticed a difference in just a couple of months.

This tutoring centre really helps. It only costs 6.25 per lesson and is a complete bargain when I think I spend more money at Starbucks with friends. By far the best value for tuition I have come across. I plan to keep on sending my son to the classes in Maths and English as he really enjoys them and it is helping him a lot. If you or your child needs help with their school work then EducateFirst should be on the top of your list.
