I now get work by recommendation from the academic improvements I have achieved from previous clients.

- Tell me about some of your current students.
I am currently teaching five children who range in age from 8 years to 12. I have experience of teaching children individually and in groups. One of my recent successes was upgrading a ten year old child from 'below average' in mathematics to 'average' in eight sessions. Another success is enabling a child to catch up after missing a lot of school after an accident (see my testimonials for more detail).
My Alexander Technique clients are mostly adults and come for a variety of reasons including professional interest (musicians), chronic neck pain, bad backs, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Ideopathic Parkinsons disease and general interest in improved wellbeing. My website (concealed information) is packed with testimonials.

Recommendations

Following a severe injury, resulting in multiple operations, I reached out to Annie to help my daughter catch up with English and Maths. Her work has resulted in a noticeable increase to my daughter's confidence and enthusiasm for school work. Annie's approach is both creative and logical, resulting in my daughter being able to retain her learning whilst enjoying the experience. Her Year 4 report showed real progress demonstrating the worth in the work Annie has done with her.
Annie Whitehead has been tutoring my two boys (11 and 9) since April 2014. She comes once a week to help them with their Maths and English. The boys are relaxed in her company and feel comfortable in asking her anything they don't understand.They are both doing really well at school and I believe Annie has helped them to realise their potential. I would not hesitate to recommend Annie to other parents. She is very gentle, caring and expert in professional tutoring and both my children like her a lot.
Annie has been tutoring Anesu for nearly a year now and we have seen improvements in both his schoolwork and his confidence. She has built a very good professional relationship with Anesu and he now looks forward to her lessons. I have found Annie to be a consummate professional, very personable and flexible when needs be. I cannot thank Annie enough for her continued hard work and support, and would happily recommend her to anyone that's looking for a tutor.
My ten year old daughter started having lessons with Annie three months ago. She was struggling with maths and we wanted her to improve before she went to secondary school. We recently went to a parents' evening and were delighted to hear that her maths had improved from 'below average' to 'average
