Enjoy Education tutors... anyone know about them?

I've come across their website and they seem to be very good (according to their blurb anyway!).
Anyone know about them?

I don't want to get into the rights and wrongs of tutoring, that's for another thread (woman on the edge here and all that).

Website looks good. As a tutor myself I wonder about the 3% that didn't feel their child had any benefit from the tuition. I've never had a child not make progress, usually very obviously in just a few lessons! Possibly worth asking about the feedback for the tutor you are offered.

Could you ask around and see if anyone can recommend you a tutor they have experience of? That's usually the best way to find someone good.

I suppose with any paid for service, there will be a % of unsatisfied customers!

It's hard to check claims, which is why I posted on here. I have met parents who swear on the holy book that their kids haven't been tutored at all, then found that they have had 'uncle bill' come to the house twice a week to help with maths, or that their school has a weekly three hour tutorial session to prep them for exams.

Did you end up using them? I would be interested to hear how you found them?
Have you noticed that they have written a lot of the tutoring advice on the mumsnet website. It looks pretty sensible and useful to me!
