Helped with exam logic
“I engaged Cluey to give my daughter the edge. She was already a great maths student but she wanted to be better and there were questions in tests that were not answered in her classroom putting her at a disadvantage. My daughter gets alot of enjoyment out of the cluey sessions and they have made a huge difference. My daughter loves maths and wants to pursue it as a career option so Cluey has been the perfect fit for her.”View on Google
