Rating: 5 / 5

Mark has been excellent for our son, helping him study for secondary school exams. He is an excellent tutor who makes studying fun, so much so that our son kept on his weekly sessions after his exams.

Never a five-star review has been more well deserved than this one for Mark at Guildford Tuition. My 10 year old daughter has just been offered a place for Year 7 at one of the top schools for girls in Surrey. This would not have been possible without the incredible work Mark has done with her over the past year. Not only she has passed the 11+ entrance exams, but also with excellent results and a very positive feedback from the School. From his fun (but rigorous) approach to learning, to his superb strategising and bespoke support to ensure she confidently and successfully sat the entrance exams. Past the exams, she will continue learning and growing her skills with Mark. I cannot recommend Mark more to any parent who is committed to their children's education and future success. Thank You Very Much!

We couldn't recommend Mark more highly. His patience and skill at explaining concepts clearly has been critical in helping both our children succeed, but most of all in building confidence in their abilities.

Mia taught my 5-year-old daughter for two months online and during that time my child’s progress was remarkable, especially her writing, maths and art skills. Mia was able to actively engage my child and keep her focused and motivated throughout the remote lessons. Mia is a highly experienced and trustworthy educator who I have already recommended to friends, and whose services I would definitely make use of again.

Rating: 5 / 5

My son thoroughly enjoys his sessions with Mia both in person and online. After just a few sessions we have noticed the improvement he has made, particularly in his English writing. Mia’s teaching has also helped to build up his confidence. Mia always keeps us informed with the learning. We are so fortunate to have Mia for my son’s 11+ preparation and thanks to her help, he was successful in receiving a place at RGS, Guildford. We would have no doubt in recommending Mia to anyone. Thank you very much, Mia.

Mia taught my 8 year old son with holiday/lockdown top up lessons. Mia was very patient and she actively engaged with him to keep his focus and make the lessons fun. My son really enjoyed his lessons with her and he has made great progress in such a short time both in terms of confidence and ability

Mia is great and our 6 year daughter loves engaging with her either online or in person. The lessons have brought our daughter along nicely as there is nothing quite like one-to-one tuition. Mia is polite and timely and a real pleasure to deal with. Roy and Marie Bowden x

Hannah is a great teacher and so natural with young children. My 7 year old son took to her instantly when she came to do his initial assessment. She creates a personalised learning experience, providing the right level of challenge and support for each child. Hannah is always patient and kind and keeps our son engaged and motivated throughout the lessons. Highly Highly recommend Hannah!

Rebecca is very patient and her lessons are very interactive and engaging. Thanks to her, my daughter has managed to catch up on the delay she accumulated with her English during Covid, and now we have moved abroad, she is keeping up with the English curriculum through the online tuition. So very satisfied and I highly recommend Eden Tutors.

Our son really enjoys his French lessons with Rebecca! She makes them fun and interactive and he looks forward to them every week. He is more confident in French and has improved so much already.

Eden Tutors have been fantastic in supporting my son's love of learning. He needed stretch and challenge in his subjects, and the tutor has been reliable, patient, encouraging, and highly knowledgeable. Thank you, Eden Tutors!

My son was struggling with A Level Chemistry having only got a C in his mocks. He needed an A to get into UCL to study medicine. We needed a tutor to improve my son’s exam technique and get him enjoying chemistry again. Seth was incredible at breaking concepts down and really helping him understand and then apply his knowledge correctly. My son got his A and is off to UCL this September. Thank you so much, I cannot recommend Genius Tutoring Services enough.

Elliot has been a huge help to my children sitting their GCSE sciences. He is engaging in all aspects, the kids love him and find his teaching style hugely beneficial. He is also so helpful with revision techniques. I cannot recommend Elliot more highly.

Rating: 5 / 5

My daughter had a poor start to Triple Science GCSE, her teacher was newly qualified and sacked by the end of Year 10. So, come Year 11, there was a lot of ground to cover. Elliott was recommended by a colleague. From the very first Zoom meeting, he has been exceptional. Immediately he identified Nell’s gaps, strengths and weaknesses and was able to deliver engaging, coherent and meaningful sessions to meet her needs and help her make progress. He has excellent subject knowledge, is super organised, encouraging and supportive. His delivery is warm and enthusiastic…Nell didn’t once complain about having a session with him (a miracle), her confidence grew and dare I say it, she even looked forward to his sessions! Elliott kept me in the loop regarding next steps for Nell and emailed exam papers and advice as her exams approached. Whatever grades Nell achieves will be largely down to Elliott. My only regret is we didn’t find him sooner.

George tutored my son for 3 months prior to his GCSE exams. He was really approachable and friendly and taught my son in a way that really helped him understand. I’ve no doubt that George’s tutoring was influential in increasing his final grade

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!

Nikol is an amazing teacher who has been helping my son a lot. She is very kind and patient. With her help my son got offer from two very good independent schools (13+) in the Surrey area. We would highly recommend her.

Rating: 5 / 5

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!

Both our daughters are very happy at Manor House School, being supported, encouraged and challenged across the breadth of the curriculum by their fantastic teachers and peers. The emphasis on the individual is allowing each daughter to build on their strengths whilst gaining confidence to tackle areas that do not come so easily. Their days are filled with fun, friendship and opportunity!

Really delighted with Manor House School and our daughter loves it having started in Y7. The teachers are very caring and supportive, the environment is amazing and she has really blossomed. Also extremely impressed with their handling of Covid and virtual learning.

Rating: 5 / 5

We couldn’t be happier with Manor House. Our daughter began in Reception 2019 and has thrived under the superb teaching team and warm atmosphere the school provides. We haven’t a single criticism, and we hope our daughter will be able to stay all the way through to age 16.

Rating: 5 / 5

Our daughter has just finished her first half term in Year 1, She tells us school is awesome. Yet again she has changed in front of our eyes, it is clear to see how the skills and strategies she learnt in Reception Class at Manor House School, Bookham blend into Key stage 1, where she will apply these methods as she progresses through the Prep school. Thank you so much Manor House School, Bookham. #happyandhealthy
