"Dean James is thoroughly trustworthy and reliable. For me he fitted what was a standard kitchen, and then took a great deal of trouble to extend and modify the units so that eventually it worked the way I wanted it. He was also meticulous about leaving the place habitable at the end of each day's work. He works on his own so that he may take longer than a team, but it is worth it. Where expertise outside his own (which is considerable) is required, he is happy to bring in specialists.  He has also recently decorated my lounge-dining room with artistry and skill." Sylvia G

Jose Rosales"I am pleased to recommend a tutor to you. He qualified at King's College London in secondary science. He has experience in all Key Stages and extensive work as a tutor and is currently teaching adults. He is diligent, knows SEN needs and strategies, can teach to KS exams and tests and also has a creative side.

He is a Spanish national but is virtually bilingual having lived half his life in English mother tongue environments (UK and USA). He has covered the whole secondary curriculum for several years (working with a performing group) so can tutor in a wide range of subjects effectively."

UK/ King's College London qualified teacher (PGCE biology) with local teaching practice experience is available for tutor work. With school experience from KS1 - KS4, I have also worked with pre-qualification nursery level class room assistants as a trainer. References available.

In addition, I have experience of private tutoring in science, maths and Spanish and of working with students with SEN, including dyslexia.

I am flexible but also need to be organised! You may contact me most evenings at home and may leave a message at any time on my mobile.

Carpet Cleaning Care is a successful employment project established in 1993, operating within the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust (SLAM). We invest all our profit back into the business for the benefit of our customers and our workforce.
We provide high quality professional carpet, floor and upholstery cleaning at competitive rates; in offices, homes and hospitals. We have a range of hi-tech specialist cleaning equipment and only use the most effective cleaning products, which enable us to get the best possible results. We also recycle all our packaging and containers.
We offer work and training opportunities for people excluded from the labour market which enable them to gain the necessary skills to obtain employment. Currently we have a workforce of 14 people all trained to use our machinery and products safely. Training is ongoing so everyone is kept up-to-date with the latest cleaning materials and techniques.
We hold regular workforce meetings where each team member has a say in how the project develops. We also use these meetings to share ideas and run training sessions on customer service and other subjects requested by the workers.
"Kevin and service user Nick did a great job cleaning my pure wool Italian rug (6' x 8') both sides and a large office chair within an hour and only charged me £20! They took great care not to let too much water get to my laminated floor. Both very friendly. I'll get them back each summer."
