“I just wanted to say how amazing your courses have been for my son, you’ve covered topics that I would not have been able to do myself. My son really enjoys the lessons and has improved greatly in his writing and English skills! I just wanted to say a big thank you and looking forward to completing another academic year with you.”
“I’ve been with Bright Light Education for a number of years now. I started off with my daughter 4 years ago, not feeling confident in teaching Literacy as it has many components! My youngest is now with Bright Light Education and the transformation in his literacy is amazing! His love for reading, formulating paragraphs, story writing and just an overall confidence in putting pencil to paper! I would be at a loss without Bright Light Education.”
“As soon as the classes began my son developed a new interest in English. The tutor has throughout kept my son engaged, learning and inspiring him to work beyond his comfort zone. She somehow manages to immerse him into his work and he really enjoys all the work that is set. He loves her lessons! Thank you to you and your whole team for all the effort you all put into your classes.”
