Truly Heard - Online Literacy & Learning Support for Teenagers

My son has struggled with schoolwork for years, and although tutors were on board, he was not able to make much progress at all. It was not until he met Alex and undertook her Language Assessment that we got a deeper insight into his learning difficulties, and where he needed specific support. My son was very reluctant to engage in any kind of test, but Alex made him feel at ease; warmed to her immediately and completed the assessment with no complaints at all! Her lovely manner and specialist experience made all the difference. Armed with the knowledge we now have, the stress around schoolwork has decreased and we now have a roadmap to guide us forward. Thank you so much!

Alex coaches our daughter on her writing for highschool. They have a great relationship - Alex is a positive, engaging coach. She has connected directly with relevant teachers at school to get specific feedback which she uses to tailor the weekly sessions to align with schoolwork and any learning needs. Home schooling during C19 has been challenging but mainly because of the "one to many" set up. Alex being 1:1, tailored and her great personality means we feel there is no difference in the effectiveness but just a lot more convenient. Highly recommend and have done to friends

Kristen my daughter has thrived in confidence as a result of the professional services of Alex. At first she was a bit nervous doing the zoom sessions, but now this is her preferred channel. Not only was the schedule adaptable, but Kristen could attend the sessions from school and in the comforts of home-just has worked out so much better. I am a teacher, paediatric nurse and more importantly a mother- and I continually sing the praises this service has given my daughter and often share your contact. Congrats on a great service!

I happened to be present during my son's latest session with Alex from Truly Heard. I was sitting on my hands and biting my tongue because his negative attitude towards a big assignment was creating a major roadblock for him and causing stress for all of us at home. Alex handled our boy with so much skill, perseverance, humour and steadiness. I listened in wonder as she helped our son unfold and uncover alternative options, in terms of breaking down the components he needed to complete. His attitude completely turned around and I could sense his relief, now feeling he could move forward with confidence. I was so impressed by Alex. Truly Amazing.

Thank God we found Alex! Our son had serious learning difficulties, and luckily his school recommended we seek help from Alex at Truly Heard. Initially the fees seemed a little steep, but after experiencing such dramatic results in a short space of time, we see it now as a very modest investment in what has been a life-changing improvement for all of us.
