Sarah, has been teaching my son English and Maths and preparing him for 11+ for the last 6-7 months. Sarah is a brilliant tutor. Her approach very well balances being king and accommodating with also being firm and requiring focused work.
Beyond the structured Maths and English teachings, she is also very knowledgeable with 11+ standards and requirements and constantly provides exam techniques and recommendations which is very helpful.
One of the aspects that makes her really stand out, based on my experience with private tutors, is that she cares and is very engaged not just during the lessons. In our discussions outside the lessons Sarah often shares thoughts related to behaviour, focus, techniques and my son's overall well being and shares her views and recommendations. This has also been very useful.
I strongly recommend Sarah for private tuition.
Thank you Ivan - it has been a pleasure working with Martin and I look forward to helping him with his ongoing success for the 11+
From sarah
I would highly recommend using Sarah as a tutor or as an education consultant (which I used her for). Sarah is extremely knowledgeable and guided me a a parent of a toddler in all the right directions, being completely honest and transparent about my different educational options available for my daughter, from nurseries to junior schools and beyond. She also was able to detail what is required from my daughter at different levels of schools including what my daughter should be familiar with and will likely be tested on. I will definitely use Sarah again. Sarah has also subsequently provided me which educational materials I should be getting my daughter familiar with in order to succeed in the right placements for her.
Thank you Sarah!
From Alex
I want to express my appreciation for Sarah's exceptional guidance during the preparation for my daughter's 11+ exams. Sarah's expert knowledge of the problems she will face, as well as multiple solutions for difficult problems has been instrumental in my daughter's progress so far. Sarah has a firm yet positive teaching style that has significantly boosted my daughter's confidence with regards to the 11+ challenges but also overall. Many thanks!
Thank you Alex! Inara is a pleasure to work with!
From David
Super happy with Sarah, and most importantly, so is my 6 year old son. He actually looks forward to going to see her every week, which I didn’t expect when we started on the tutoring journey. We met with a few different tutors at the start, but my son really connected with Sarah, as she makes the sessions fun as well as educational. Would definitely recommend.
Thank you David! It has been a pleasure so far!
From Sheena
I came across Sarah’s profile whilst looking for an entry exam tutor for my 6 year old. Sarah is very knowledgeable about the exam entry process. As well as supporting my daughter through her teaching, Sarah has also been providing information to me about the exam entry process, what to expect and how I can support my daughter. Sarah is very friendly, approachable and always takes the time to explain the next steps. I would highly recommend Sarah.
Thank you Sheena!
From Sharon
After trying a few tutors we are confident that Sarah is the right tutor for our daughter who is currently in Y4 and has a few learning gaps in Maths and English. Sarah has the perfect balance between being assertive and friendly, and instinctively knows how to get the best out of the sessions. She makes learning enjoyable and my daughter is always happy to attend her sessions. Sarah tailors her lessons to support specific learning needs and we have already noticed a shift in our daughter's attitude to Maths and English which she has never particularly enjoyed previously.
Thank you Sharon, it has been lovely working with your daughter!
From Suzanne
Sarah has been great with my son. He has told me how he is enjoying his tutor sessions with Sara as he is learning and she is very nice! She is professional, gets down to the work whilst being kind and fun and is able to get the best out of my 11 year old son. He has had 3 sessions and I can already see an improvement in his 11+ tests. Thanks Sarah!
Thank you Suzanne, it has been lovely working with Ottavio!
From Farah
Sarah has been a pleasure to work with from the beginning. She made the experience of my son starting tutoring really positive. She is very hands on and experienced and this shows in her working relationship with myself and my son. My son has only had a hand full of tutoring lessons with Sarah and I already see a difference heading in the right direction. I look forward to the future to see Sarah tutor my son in order for him to reach his full capability, and I can not recommend Sarah enough.
From Max
Sarah is very personable and made a huge effort with our little one. She managed both face to face and online tutorial sessions and was very flexible, and prepared. We did not need to plan each lesson, she had everything organised and remained calm, consistent and professional at all times, despite the odd challenge from our little one. I would recommend.
Thank you Max - it was lovely working with Marella.
From Wen
Sarah is an excellent tutor. She is very knowledgeable and patient.
Thanks Renee - it has been lovely working with you!
From Shabeena
Sarah is a brilliant and kind tutor. My daughter has only had afew sessions however I can already see an improvement in her story writing skills. We chose Sarah as she has experience in 7 plus entrance exams. We are very happy with the progress made so far. My daughter is enjoying each session. Thank you!
Thank you Shabeena, it’s a pleasure working with Noura
From Natalie
Sarah was by far the best decision I made for my son. He has only had 3 sessions with her and already I can see the difference in his writing, reading and mathematics! Not only is she great on the academic side but she makes the lessons fun too and my son is always excited for his next lesson! I would recommend her to anyone looking to get their kids through 7 or 11+
Thank you Natalie!
