We have had a beautiful journey with Wolsey this year and it’s amazing how Chirayu has turned out to be an independent child taking ownership of his studies. I would like to thank each one of his tutors and you for the immense support, incredible guidance and continuous patience. Thank you Wolsey and thank you Sarah and the whole team of tutors that assisted and guided Chirayu!
