Helping Brain Injury Survivors Return to Learning, Work and Independence
Client
I want to say a huge thank you to my tutor, John, who I’ve been lucky enough to learn from for over five years. During that time, he has taught me so much more than just facts — he has helped shape the way I think and understand the world.
Through his teaching, I’ve learned incredible things about space, history, and the human body. He made big, complex topics feel exciting and understandable, and he always encouraged me to stay curious and ask questions. Because of him, I see learning not as something I have to do, but something I genuinely enjoy.
John has also taught me important life lessons. He showed me how to take care of my mind, how to stay focused, and how building good habits — like waking up early — can help me get more done and make the most out of life. Those lessons have made a real difference to me personally.

"I find my tutoring sessions with John stimulating and have enjoyed learning more about the different subjects that I'm interested in. John is a great tutor. He encourages me to think more broadly and to share my opinions with confidence. I also love the homework that he sets!" - Lucy, March 2021.

"Fostering an educational experience and process with survivors of brain injury can be a very challenging process, and few educational professionals exist with the experience and skills to adaptively respond to the unique needs of each survivor. I am very glad that John is an exception - his work is valued by the brain injury professionals working alongside him, and importantly, the survivors who are enriched and stimulated by his involvement."
