I was really impressed with the team at UES, especially Aida, who helped my son navigate through the US college application process. Aida was thoroughly knowledgeable in the entire process and was expertly skilled in helping us navigate timelines and her approach in managing the process was a life saver. She helped us understand how the process works, our chances and built a university list that made sense for my son's desires and needs. She dug deep into access and accommodations that we needed to make sure we could find the right fit. The proof is in the pudding as my son was accepted into 80% of the schools he applied - knowing when we went in we had two reach schools that we might not make - so even preparing us for that disappointment was very thoughtful.

Our experience with UES and in particular Simon Lewis was outstanding. I cannot imagine having to go through this process alone. Even though my wife is American and went to university there, we were not equipped to deal with the complexities and nuances of the much changed US college application process. Simon's knowledge of the US universities, application processes and best approaches were second to none. After initially interviewing our daughter he was able to suggest a university which he believed would be an ideal fit for her and it was. Simon was able to identify our daughter's strengths in particular areas which fit certain colleges. Simon helped with the college essays, strategies for early decision/early action applications, SAT prep and interview prep. Our daughter was accepted in to her favourite University Notre Dame and has just graduated from there after a phenomenal four year experience. We will definitely be using Simon again for our other children. Thank you Simon! 5 stars!!

My daughter worked with UES for ACT tutoring and it made a huge difference to her scores. UES were able to work around her school schedule and set up one to one sessions. She saw a big improvement in her test scores and her confidence. She got a great score and is heading to her first choice Ivy League school in the Fall.

My daughter Tess had 4 weeks of tuition from Honor Grenville as she needed to complete the SAT test for Yale University and get a score of 1250. Tess exceeded this by a long way getting a score of 1460 and also a guaranteed place at Yale. Tess worked hard but was brilliantly supported by Honor who I couldn't recommend enough. We were also very well supported by Jason Smith and the team at UES who helped our family navigate the US university system.

I boosted my SAT score very significantly in just a few weeks and about 4 or 5 sessions and it was all down to the fantastic teaching of Sean. We never covered a topic that I was already familiar with and he pushed me to work hard and figured out my weakness so we could rapidly improve on them. He set me tests to do and then went through my mistakes on those tests and walked me through practice questions on that same topic until I'd mastered it. As a result, on test day I went in without any nerves and was able to perform really well. They use a really useful website that contains loads of notes, videos, practice questions (sorted by topic) and practice test that allow your tutor to look through all your answers and prepare to coach you on how to improve before each session. Above all, Sean was kind, patient and personable and always ensured the lessons were engaging and informative. I would recommend UES tutoring and, in particular, Sean to anyone who hopes to improve their SAT scores whatever level they are at.
