Rating: 5 / 5

Ms Siew has been brilliant! Not only because she has the knowledge and patience for preparing maths for my daughter’s 11+, more importantly Ms Siew has made maths fun that my daughter isn’t scared of doing maths anymore. On the contrary, my daughter looks forward to doing more fun maths. That has made a huge difference on the preparation of 11+. No matter what the exam results might be, I can see evidently that my daughter has the enthusiasm to learn more about maths, that alone is the benefit in a long run. I would certainly recommend Ms Siew for tutoring maths for any children whether it is to prepare the tedious 11 +, or simply to engage a child to fall in love with Maths. Ms Siew will make it! Thank you Ms Siew! Having received offer from TGS that’s definitely helped mainly by Siew our daughter’s maths tutor dedicated and skilful tutoring. We would strongly recommend Siew to be your maths tutor, who will guide you through the tough preparation of 11+ and to motivate your child to achieve a preferable result. Thank you very much Siew!

Siew is an excellent tutor. She figured out my son’s weak points for 11+, and filled in those gaps. Then my son’s maths improved a lot! He got into Grammar school, couldn’t succeed without her. I highly recommend her!

CoolMinds has been a nurturing teacher to my child. She encourages him to think indepently and teaches him methods to explore new subjects on his own, instead of feeding him with how to sit in exams only. More importantly to us, CoolMinds also works with parents closely to build a encouraging learning environment at home. She provides feedbacks and teaching skills to the parents with the best interests for the child at heart. I can't recommend CoolMinds more.

Rating: 5 / 5

Both my kids started their tutoring with Siew. She is a brilliant tutor and really helped build their confidence and their ability to truly understand maths and how to apply it. Most importantly she helped them learn to enjoy the subject which motivates them to work harder. I can highly recommend CoolMinds for maths.

Sarah is very good Maths tutor. She helped our son to progress in Maths from good range (in year 9) to grade 9 in year 10 in a short time (6 months only). Sarah is very helpful, supportive and friendly. She always supports my son prior to his school exam, she prepares extra questions and happy to cover the topics that my son struggles with in school.

Yesterday was the GCSE results day, a very happy day for us! We have approached Sarah back in May 2023 when we desperately needed help for my daughter to improve her grades. Sarah has worked so hard with my daughter and today we had a great result- a jump from a grade 3 in the mock tests to a grade 6 in the actual GCSE exam. For any parent looking for maths tuition, Maths Magic is the answer to your prayers. Thank you so much for all your hard work Sarah!

Rating: 5 / 5

Sarah is a great maths teacher. Although my daughter attended her lessons for only 3 / 4 months, she loved going to her classes and was able to learn a lot. Sarah has the ability to realise children’s potential and enciurages them to reach their goals.

Safia worked miracles! Our daughter had received a grade 4 on her last exam before starting tutoring with Safia and yesterday she received a grade 7 (two marks off an 8!). We couldn’t be happier with our experience of working with Safia and the results speak for themselves.

Rating: 5 / 5

Max has made excellent progress since starting tutoring with Safia at the beginning of year 9. As he is now in year 11, he is likely to get a high grade - something that would not have happened otherwise. He really enjoys his lessons with Safia and her teaching style and learns a lot faster than he would at school. Max and I highly recommend her!

Rating: 5 / 5

Safia is a great tutor! She manages to tailor our lessons exactly to my requirements and can adapt very quickly. The time always goes very fast and my confidence has grown greatly. As an adult learner, it can be hard to pick up from my school French and she is very patient and positive. I feel the lessons are very good value for the input and amount I have learnt. I highly recommend her!

Rosy has been an invaluable part of my daughter’s 11+ journey. She is so kind with a gentle character, my daughter genuinely looks forward to her sessions with Rosy. She has come such a long way and we feel super lucky to have found her!

We are incredibly grateful for the exceptional tutoring our daughter received in preparation for her 11+ exams. Nikol has been an outstanding tutor, demonstrating not only a deep understanding of the subject matter but also a genuine passion for teaching. From the start, Nikol created a supportive and encouraging learning environment. Our daughter felt comfortable asking questions and was always motivated to do her best. The personalized approach to tutoring, tailored to our daughter’s specific needs and learning style, made a significant difference in her confidence and performance. One aspect we particularly appreciated was the ample homework provided each week. This consistent practice helped reinforce the lessons and ensured our daughter was well-prepared for her exams. Additionally, having Nikol come to our home for the lessons was a huge help and time saver, making the entire process much more convenient for our busy family. Our daughter has now had an offer from her preferred school and we are thrilled with this result. We highly recommend Nikol to any parent seeking a knowledgeable, patient, and inspiring tutor for their child.

Rating: 5 / 5

We are absolutely delighted with the progress our daughters have made under Nikol's guidance. She is not only highly knowledgeable but also warm and approachable, which has helped our children feel comfortable and confident in their learning journey. This year our older daughter successfully passed both the SET and the Second Stage Entrance Examination (NWSEE), and we have seen a remarkable improvement in our younger daughter's performance, with outstanding results at the end of Year 3 last year. We are truly grateful for the positive impact Nikol has had on their education. Highly recommended!

Rosy is amazing. She guided my son taking account of his dyslexia to show him a way that he could shine in English. He massively overachieved his expectations on his GCSE and Rosy takes much of the credit. Thank you for the support you gave

My son, who is 4 years old, has been attending French lessons with Bénédicte. He very much enjoys the sessions and cannot wait for his next lesson! Bénédicte is patient, professional and supports his development. Initially I was wondering how a young child could learn a new language but Bénédicte is able to help familiarise him with different sounds and words. She is very patient and supportive. We are both very happy with these lessons!

Rating: 5 / 5

My five year old daughter started lessons with Benedicte over a month now and shortly after the start my daughter begged me to increase to two sessions a week. The sessions are very interactive, fun, good content and my daughter is very comfortable with her and is always looking forward to the next lesson. She has given her the confidence that learning a language is accessible to anybody. Highly recommend her!

Rating: 5 / 5

Bénédicte is a great teacher. My daughter loves her classe every week. We speak French at home but Bénédicte has given her the confidence to read and write in French too which is exactly what she needed. I could not recommend her more !

Rating: 5 / 5

Bénédicte is a fantastic tutor and I’m thoroughly enjoying the lessons with her! I’ve had other tutors in the past and she is by far the best one I’ve had. Lessons are structured and she always listens to your needs and tailors lessons accordingly. I would very highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing French tutor!

We used Gemma for Spanish tutoring in preparation for my daughters Spanish GCSE. From the very first meeting, Gemma was quickly able to determine what my daughter’s strengths and weaknesses were. Subsequently, she tailored her sessions to provide the knowledge she required both for the written and oral exams. In the following weeks, my daughter was more confident and engaged with the subject and ultimately achieved an A grade. I would highly recommend Gemma as a tutor!

Rating: 5 / 5

Gemma tutored our son in the run up to his GCSE Spanish. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough - she was engaging, extremely patient and very knowledgeable. He very much enjoyed the lessons and she moved him from a predicted grade 6 to a 7.

Gemma is an outstanding tutor. She taught my daughter for French A Level and we anticipate excellent results. She is very organised and thorough and builds confidence very well. My daughter loved all the lessons!

We highly recommend Elite Tutoring, our Son has made good progress in both Maths and English. Mrs Singh has provided both tutoring, advice and guidance regarding our Sons primary learning journey. Thank you for all your hard work and support.

Rating: 5 / 5

We're so happy with the progress that our son has made in Maths since starting with Elite Tutors. He was struggling in Yr 7 in secondary school last year, but his confidence has grown massively, and he's now moving to top set maths. I can't recommend them enough!

Rating: 5 / 5

Since my son started being tutored at Elite Tutors, his predicted GCSEs grades have lift by 2 levels. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Rating: 5 / 5

Since attending Elite Tutors for maths tuition, our daughter has grown in confidence. Being able to go over topics she has been struggling with at school has helped greatly. Practicing relevant exam questions and techniques in a supportive tutoring environment has been very helpful, especially when approaching her GCSEs. For her end of year exam, our daughter obtained results which meant she has now moved up a set in maths, which is great. Would definitely recommend.

My daughter has been attending kumon classes for about 5 month now. I have seen the progress she has made from the start to present. Sonal and the team are very friendly and approachable. Overall, I'm happy with my daughters development.

Rating: 5 / 5

I started my daughter at Kumon for Maths. She has never enjoyed Maths and always struggled at School. We started her about 7 months ago and the improvement and confidence in Maths has really shown! I couldn’t believe how quickly she was adding without the use of her fingers and all in her head, and she’s also enjoying Maths so much more as she understands it. I also love that Sonal has the help of older school kids helping out in the class. It’s so inspiring for the little ones.

Rating: 5 / 5

My son really enjoys his Kumon exercises and we have seen him thrive over the last few months. The repetition and daily exercise approach certainly help him grasp the basic concept of both English and Maths, and we're incredibly proud of him. Thank you Sonal for making us believe in the process.

Rating: 5 / 5

We’ve had such a positive experience with Kumon Purley and Sonal with her team. We’ve seen our children flourish since they’ve began their Kumon journey a year ago. We’ve been using Kumon connect which has been working great, we love the versatility of using a device vs using paper. We’re so glad we started Kumon for our children as an everyday discipline.

Explore learning have been absolutely wonderful for my boys. One is 12 and had never been to school or done any formal learning before we took him. He had just had a great home Ed life learning as we went. He needed a bit more formal maths & English so when I found explore learning I thought I’d give it a go. My other son is 6 and in year 1. My 12 year old couldn’t sit still and I was worried it would not work. But the staff and set up are fabulous. They encourage and adapt the set up around the child and give them lots of rewards. Seeing my 12 year old enjoying himself after each session my 6 yr old then wanted to start. He’s been going a few weeks now and knows exactly what he supposed to do. Highly recommend explore learning for a child who excels in their learning or a child who lacks confidence or is shy. Great set up.

Rating: 5 / 5

Always a pleasure with Explore Learning. Just had my parent feedback session. Knowing where my son is on all areas of the curriculum broken down gives me not only assurance that all areas are covering, but also where there are opportunities to focus and further support. My son has 121 online and the tutor has an excellent rapport, to which he responds. He is comfortable asking questions, allowing him to feel safe to learn.

Rating: 5 / 5

Explore learning and their team are absolutely fantastic. Caring and understand to each of my daughters individual needs. With regular feedback and tools to access easily to see how my daughters are progressing creates a great sense of trust between parent, child and tuition centre. I love the fact they can go away independently in a different environment to school and learn and be challenged with caring team behind them. Well done Habida and team.

Rating: 5 / 5

My daughters love the learning environment at Explore. It's a fun, positive, and rewarding place that has made a massive difference in their school work and general approach to learning new things. All of the tutors we've met have been welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable, no matter the student's age. Mollie always uplifts and encourages my girls, and Habeedah is an excellent manager who interacts with all the families and helps you with anything you need. We're grateful for this wonderful learning experience!
