Explore Learning Edinburgh

★★★★★

“Our son has been attending the entrance exam course at Explore Learning in Blackhall and we have been delighted with the support given. He was successful in being offered places at the schools he applied for and he will continue to attend weekly to keep developing his learning. Throughout his time with Explore we have seen his confidence in English, maths and himself grow. The staff in the centre have taken the time to get to know him and how he learns. He works closely with Debbie who goes the extra mile for him which is really appreciated. Communication from Caroline and Richard is great and it’s been helpful to get regular progress updates.”

“I couldn’t recommend Explore Learning enough! My brother has been attending for four months now, and the progress he has made in such a short time has been incredible. He really struggles with dyslexia and was significantly behind in his learning when he first joined. He had very little confidence, didn’t want to go to school, and felt embarrassed about being behind in his work. Reading aloud in class was something he would avoid completely. Since starting at Explore Learning, the change in him has been amazing. His reading has improved so much — not just in fluency, but in understanding as well. He’s now able to read aloud in class with confidence, and he processes information much more clearly. He’s also working faster and keeping up far better with his schoolwork. The biggest difference, though, has been in his confidence. He now goes to school comfortably, feels proud of his progress, and believes in his ability to improve. While he knows he still has goals to reach, he’s finally on the right path and feels fully supported every step of the way. We’re so grateful for the encouragement, patience, and support from the team at Explore Learning, it’s truly made a life-changing difference. Thank you to everyone involved, you’re making such a difference to his life. The whole team is honestly wonderful.”

“As a parent, I can honestly say that the difference Explore Learning has made to my son in just a few months has been remarkable. He is bilingual and has always worked incredibly hard, but dyslexia made reading and processing information especially challenging for him. It really affected his confidence, particularly at school. He would often doubt himself, avoid harder tasks, and feel frustrated when he couldn’t keep up. Since joining Explore Learning, the change has been incredible. His reading has improved noticeably — both in fluency and understanding. He’s able to follow instructions much more easily and completes his work more efficiently. What’s made me especially proud is that he’s now willing to challenge himself with harder tasks instead of shying away from them. I’ve even noticed the difference at home. When he’s playing video games, he’s confidently reading what’s on the screen and following written instructions independently — something he would have really struggled with before. It might seem like a small thing, but to us it shows just how much progress he’s made. His maths is also improving steadily, even with just 30 minutes of work a week. That consistency, along with the tailored support he receives, is clearly making a real impact. Most importantly, his confidence has grown massively. He’s more positive, more motivated, and far more comfortable at school. He feels supported and encouraged, and he’s proud of how far he’s come. We’re incredibly grateful to the team at Explore Learning for the support and guidance they’ve given him. It’s made a genuine difference to both his learning and his confidence.”
