"Finally, someone who sees my daughter for who she actually is" Sarah Jennings, mother of Ella (13), Bristol

"Ella was labelled 'difficult' for years. Within three weeks of Maggie's classes, she was writing poetry at breakfast—because she wanted to."

 

"Honestly, we were throwing money away before" Amanda Wright, mum to Georgina (12), Oxfordshire

"We were paying £80 an hour for tutors and Georgina still froze up whenever she had to write anything. Three different tutors over two years and nothing stuck—it felt like pouring money down the drain. Now it's £15 a lesson, five days a week, everything included. No scrambling to find different people for different things. She actually gets excited for her lessons now, which honestly I never thought I'd see. Best money we've ever spent."

 

"Proper rigour without the soul-crushing tedium" David Chen, father of twins Lucas & Maya (11), London

"I'm a former English teacher myself, so I was sceptical about online learning. But the standards are high, the texts are challenging, and there's zero tolerance for lazy thinking. My twins are analysing Animal Farm and debating with kids from across the country. Lucas has dyslexia and gets stretched without being humiliated. Maya isn't held back. Old-fashioned excellence, modern delivery."

 

"My son finally has classmates who get him" Priya Kotak, mother of Aarav (14), Leicester

"Aarav is autistic and was drowning in a class of thirty. And—this is the big thing—he's made actual friends. Kids who love Tolkien as much as he does. He logs on twenty minutes early just to chat with them. I never thought I'd see that."

 

"My daughter actually reads proper books now—I can't believe it" Chioma Okafor, mum to Zara (15), London

"Zara used to hide her phone inside books and pretend to read. Now she gets moody when she finishes one."

 

"The conduct reports are surprisingly valuable" James Whitmore, father of Isaac (13), Cornwall

"We homeschool five children and I teach most subjects myself, but English was becoming a battleground. Isaac is argumentative, articulate, and needs someone who can handle him. The twice-termly assessments give us clear benchmarks, but honestly, it's the conduct feedback that's been most useful. Maggie doesn't just tell us what he's learning—she tells us how he's learning, how he collaborates, where he's generous with other students and where he needs to develop humility. That's teaching."

"No more 3am panics about whether we're doing enough" Rebecca Stein, mother of Noah (11), currently in Portugal

"We've been worldschooling for two years. The constant question is always: are we giving him a proper education or just winging it? Now Noah logs in from whatever time zone we're in, does serious academic work, and I know he's not falling behind."

 

"She saw my son's ADHD as an asset, not a problem" Kathryn Boyle, mother of Finley (12), Manchester

"His old school said 'disruptive.' Issy says 'energetic thinker.'"

 

"Exactly what I wanted: standards without stuffiness" Harriet Pemberton, mother of Cressida (14), Surrey

"We left an expensive girls' school because the culture was toxic, but I still wanted academic excellence. Maggie delivers that—proper close reading, sophisticated analysis, high expectations—without the snobbery. Cressida is reading Virginia Woolf alongside kids from completely different backgrounds. That's the education I actually wanted for her."
