Lynnette provides an excellent structured setting whereby most of the class gain top school offers. The extra focus and individual feedback that Lynnette provides in the run up to key exams made us feel confident of success. Moreover, if you are looking for your child to develop an enthusiasm for learning beyond exams then Shine provides that breadth. You know it’s good if they miss the lessons long after the exams are over!

Shine Tutors was recommended to us by a friend and our experience from day 1 with Lynnette was brilliant. Her approach, her material, her accessibility and her investment in the children she teaches pays results - our daughter received offers from both Tiffin Girls and Nonsuch! More than that, we have seen our daughter build a healthy attitude towards exams and learning, and this we feel is what will really help her in her academic life and beyond - a big thank you Lynnette! We look forward to seeing you with our younger one soon!

I cannot recommend Shine Tutors highly enough. My son started attending sessions with Lynnette in year 4, which ultimately helped him receive offers from both Tiffin School and Kingston Grammar School. The tuition and guidance received from Lynnette was invaluable to achieving this. Her sessions both supported and stretched my son academically but also gave him the knowledge and confidence needed for the entrance exams. Lynnette also provides lots of information to parents to help guide them through the school entrance exams process.

I highly recommend taking private lessons with Shine Tutors. L. is an amazing tutor and very professional. She helped my child to reach another level indeed and prepared him so well. He enjoyed her class so much. Shine tutors accurately identified my child's strengths and weaknesses so they could work on them effectively. The methods used are perfectly aligned with the tests, and the follow-up and correction of exercises are consistent. Thanks to the weekly follow up with a lot of good learning homeworks material our child succeeded in all his 11+ exams. It's hard work and effort at first but it all pays off. He got offered a place at Tiffin in the first round as well as other independent schools such as Hampton Boys including Upper Latymer scholarships. We are so grateful for the outstanding work L. has done to stretch our child and accompany him with consistent diligent work to succeed in his exams. She has also provided lots of information to us, has been a strong guidance for all of us in this journey and particularly in the school entrance exams process. Thank you again for your amazing engagement with children.

My son has been offered a place at Tiffin and whilst he is a bright child we know that that isn’t enough to be successful in these exams, especially coming from a state primary school. Shine Tutors provided a structured and thorough programme of work and practice for these exams, with Lynnette’s long experience of the requirements for different schools and high expectations for both children and parents on the commitment and standards needed and we know we made the right choice for our son.
