Testimonials

Melissa

What an excellent facility for the children of Cornwall!!! My daughter unfortunately couldn't cope in main stream School and CB Tutoring helped us every step of the way to support us to ensure she felt comfortable in taking her GCSE exams. They were welcoming, took the time to understand our unique circumstances and compassionate. You are all awesome! Thank you for everything.

Tristan

Chrissi and her team aka CB Tutoring have worked incredibly hard in obtaining the exam centre now in Bodmin, Cornwall. Previously Home Ed students would have had to have travel to Taunton. From the very start and meeting Chrissi, our daughter has thrived and gained in confidence with her lessons and exams, all tutors are kind and understanding. School isn't for everyone but this choice has literally been life changing and for the better, thank you.

Sarah

Very grateful to Chrissi and her amazing team for making it possible for private candidates in Cornwall to take their exams locally. The team go above and beyond to help at every opportunity. Big thank you to Cass x
