“Thank you for the tremendous work Fresh Start has done with my son. After a horrible experience his self-esteem was rock bottom. I was scared he would never go to school again. That was until you started working with him. We are so thankful for the positive impact on our son’s life and future”
“I cannot speak highly enough of the Fresh Start Team and the support they have given the Virtual School."

"The violence I was seeing at home has reduced hugely both towards himself and others. His self awareness and confidence is growing in leaps and bounds. He comes home with new knowledge and skills everyday and both Education Specialists have been a blessing, either will be greatly missed they are both amazing people and teachers and really go above and beyond to ensure my son accesses his education to the best of his abilities. I am truly shocked at how much he has flourished since meeting them. And cannot thank them enough for all that they do"

"In the time that I have been working with Fresh Start, I have found them efficient, communicative and a pleasure to work with. They are very creative in their approach not only on a ground level with the tutors but on a management level too. They are one of the best providers I have ever worked with"

"The Education Specialist was able to consistently support and reassure my child and gave him enough space to work out his own feelings regarding education and having another adult come into his life. Thankfully, they were able to find a balance between their responsibilities as a tutor and providing a positive role model my son could trust, and we both would like to thank him for that!"
-Parent of Fresh Start Student
"We have had a very positive start with our Education Specialist. The ASDAN course looks wonderful, and I would be delighted if she could do this please! She is very excited about the prospect. I was able to leave her at the session for over an hour yesterday and was amazed to hear that she had spoken to her ES whilst I was gone! This is just so fantastic and makes me feel more positive for her future"
- Parent of Fresh Start Student
“I just wanted to pass on what a fantastic job your tutor is doing with my son. His agency carers have asked me to pass on their praise and highlight how well she is doing with him. With this in mind could I request that the tutor be kept as his tutor as he is flourishing under her guidance.”
- Parent of Fresh Start Student
“I have just had a read through the report you sent over and I’m very impressed! The tutor working with the student has clearly helped them invaluably. I have another young person on my caseload whom I think would definitely benefit from similar support.”

"These 4 months have been fantastic for me. You're easily one of the best teachers I've ever had. You've taught me a lot and helped me realise that there's more to do in life than the same old things over and over"

"Please pass my thanks on to the Education Specialist, she was amazing with Felix last week. She got him straight away. Felix has had quite a few tutors over the last 6 months. But none of the others were as kind, understanding, knowledgeable, as the staff from Fresh Start. Thank you, for understanding Felix and us, and what we are going through and helping to get him ready for school. Please continue your good work"

"Very happy with the support from our Fresh Start Education Specialist. Very cheerful, respectful and pragmatic - good rapport and a great relationship with my daughter"
