"[The LinkyThinks Descriptionary book is] a brilliant, inspiring idea, beautifully realised to encourage kids to create their own masterpieces! Alexander may have inspired the next J.K. Rowling!”

Alexander is a highly successful tutor and has gained the respect of his many tutees, their families and his teaching colleagues alike. We are delighted to be supporting his fresh approach to comprehension."

Lorrae Jaderberg & Katie Krais, Joint MDs of JK Educate

“LinkyThinks resources combine the best of all worlds, impactful user experience, inviting to look at and easy to use. I particularly like the combination of emotional and logical interplay they draw upon...”

"I love Comprehending Comprehension. The cartoon characters helped me understand what they wanted me to do in the exam. Also, I could look at the videos for revision and stop myself from getting freaked out."

Rosie Taylor, age 11

"An incredible mixture of fun and clever learning as well as being gross, inspiring, cheerful and beautifully designed[…] I highly recommend it for kids - or anyone really - who want to encounter language in a different and exciting way.”

Dr Xand van Tulleken, doctor & CBBC TV presenter

“[LinkyThinks is] unique, something different, something that goes to the heart of the social & emotional learning as it should be taught in classroom. Beautifully presented, engaging for students, based on good research.”

Prof. John Hattie NZMO, Melbourne Educational Research Institute

“...It made English fun and interesting for my daughter, Ella. She jumped from the middle to the top group in her class and her 11+ results were fantastic! She has been offered places from her top three school choices!”

Melissa Stephens, Ella's mum

“I purchased this for personal use with my son, who struggles to plan out his writing. We managed to write a great piece using the Word Wheels and we can't wait to use more of the tips on story planning.”

“…I just wanted to give some feedback on Ally - he has been great. A really kind, gentle man, perfect to work with my son. He’s making him feel great about everything which is important to me and teaching him well at the same time…”

Hannah, Sammy’s mum

“Your approach is amazing and in just two sessions with Josh, it's turned things around. I'm feeling much better about things & however Josh does with his GCSE's, the most important thing is that he now has some support that works for him!"

Melissa, Josh's mum

“Ally helped my with my work and made me more confident with it. He was more like a friend than a teacher. His lessons were really fun and I improved a lot with my work and I was very happy with my 11+ success.”

Bella, aged 12

"Dear Ally, thank you so much for everything. To go from getting Ds and Es to where I am now is just ridiculous. There is no way I could have done it without your help. Also, thanks for making me laugh until I cry. Many thanks, love from Gabby."
