Fiona Cameron was incredible from the very first introduction. She spent time listening to our daughter to better understand what her capabilities and interests were. Fiona modified her approach and teaching style to suit our daughter which paid dividends. As the weeks progressed the creative writing that was being produced was so incredibly powerful and descriptive. Fiona was great at sharing her enthusiasm for her subject and always encouraging and engaging. I think it was particularly helpful that Fiona made a point of showing how thrilled she was at the results of our daughter’s efforts. I’m pleased to say that as a result of everything our daughter achieved an incredible result. I can’t recommend Fiona more highly, a fabulous teacher and a gentle person to be around.

Rita is such a lovely tutor, she took the time out of her day to make sure my daughter has the right work to complete and to ensure that she is getting the right tasks in order to do well in her gcses. With Rita my daughter was able to jump 2 whole grades which is a massive improvement. I could not recommend Rita enough, she is very good at what she does!

Rating: 5 / 5

Rita has helped our daughter to achieve her GCSE with care and compassion and patience. In the 6 months she was tutoring our daughter she believed in her. Our daughter felt comfortable and build a rapport up with Rita. We would highly recommend her. Thank you Rita.

Vicky has been a fantastic tutor for my daughter for 8 years right up to her GCSE exams. She tailored her lessons to my daughter's needs boosting her confidence. Vicky also greatly helped my son by providing a couple of adhoc lessons to assist him with understanding some very difficult equations on his electrical course. As a result both passed their exams. I highly recommend and wish Vicky all the best.

Great centre, i highly reccomend. My child's maths teacher Tracey who taught maths is the one of the best teachers I have come across! She helped my child jump up grades and brought back the interest in the subject that was lost before starting.She has been a great motivator. She encoraged my child to achieve higher and helped her do it too. She will be missed. The rest of the team ,English teacher are lovely too and the centre manager Sarah is very helpful and makes everything easy :)

We started my son's tuition at the olton centre a year and half now, and have seen him improve dramatically from the start. The centre is run by Sarah with excellent communication, and her team are very professional, well organised and make us feel very welcome. Danni, his tutor, keeps us informed with subjects covered and with excellent feedback. Feedback on any noticeable improvements in comprehension, any challenges, or next stages is explained to us at the end of every session. This helps in steering his attention to overcome any challenges. The home work he receives online is very engaging and enjoys doing them every week. The teaching style is very tailored to specific needs and they seek these needs in him very effectively. The tuition has really helped him at school, with his teacher's praising him for his improvement, and has recently received a special head teacher's mention.

Kip McGrath tutoring has been a real breakthrough for my daughter, helping her into a higher set for Maths. Friendly, professional people all the way through. And surprisingly affordable. Would completely recommend.

Rating: 5 / 5

We are having a very positive experience with Kip McGrath. The tutors are knowledgeable and friendly, and the personalised approach to learning greatly is benefited my son. The structured lessons have definitely helped build his confidence, and I appreciated the regular progress updates after his sessions . Overall, a reliable resource for academic support."

Key Stage Tutor is amazing. My daughter has been tutored by Nova since she was diagnosed with dyslexia in 2022, and the support and encouragement that she has been given is outstanding. Nova has taught my daughter to trust in her own abilities and has provided her with tools to use both in and outside of school to help with her dyslexia. It is evident that Nova genuinely cares for my daughter and provides her with the nurturing she needs during their sessions. I would highly recommend Key Stage Tutor. Although my main contact is with Nova, all the other tutors are friendly and helpful. My first conversation was with Tracie, and I distinctly remember thinking, while talking to her, that I hope she can fit in my daughter, as I knew I had found the right place for her. Google only allows 5 stars, but they are owed more ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 5 / 5

Fantastic, supportive and caring tutors. I went to see Tracie as I was concerned my child had a SpLD. School repeatedly reassured me there was nothing to be concerned about, but I was not convinced. After a few sessions, Tracie echoed my concerns and helped me seek a diagnostic assessment. She has been a constant source of support and advice since, which really helped compensate for the lack of support from school. My other child also started attending sessions with Sarah, who recognised gaps in key areas of the curriculum and so addressed these. Both Tracie and Sarah are fantastic tutors who really care about the kids.

Rating: 5 / 5

The team at Key Stage have been absolutely instrumental to the academic achievements of both of my children. Tracie spotted my children’s neurodiversity way ahead of me and their school, and has supported me 100% throughout my journey to diagnosis and support within and outside of the school setting. Besides that, she has ensured both of my children are filling in the gaps their school work, that they are simply not able to complete at school - due to class sizes/and more often, just general learning style. My children love going to tutoring! She has a brilliant way with both of my children, and they both feel far more confident in the classroom, than ever before. I simply couldn’t recommend Key Stage enough! Fantastic business, fantastic staff, brilliant results.

Rating: 5 / 5

Tracie and Sarah are just incredible! They not only support academic development but see the child as a whole. They identify barriers to learning and offer support and strategies to overcome them. What I have valued the most is how kind and compassionate they are in the way they communicate with children and their parents. We have achieved and surpassed the goals we wanted to achieve with their support.

Rating: 5 / 5

We are absolutely delighted with the results! My daughter passed all four of the 11+ exams (Bexley, Medway, Kent and Mayfield) she took, and we owe a huge thanks to Gravesend Tutoring Academy. Their structured, tailored approach made a world of difference. The tutors not only helped strengthen her academic skills but also boosted her confidence throughout the process. The lessons were engaging, well-organized, and focused on the areas she needed most. I highly recommend Gravesend Tutoring Academy to any parent looking for exceptional support and guidance for their child’s 11+ preparation.

We used GTA for 11+ tuition. Assam was great. My daughter was a BIG fan of his teaching methods - not so much of the homework he set though! HA! She loved the lessons and found them very helpful. What I liked about most about these guys is the honest assessment of your child's abilities. On my first meeting with Shahnaz, she was very open in telling me that if she didn't think my child was capable of doing the 11+, she would tell me straight and that it would be unfair to put pressure on a child if it is clear they are not up to it. I really liked that. There was never any pressure to book lessons either. I was also very grateful for all the tips and advice Shahnaz gave me - as the parent, supporting my child's learning - which I found invaluable, especially moving forward as "it doesn't stop here" Shahnaz quite rightly said. So all-in-all, great service, I would highly recommend them.

All thanks to the team, my daughter passed all her 11+ exams (four of them) with really high marks as well. Will be starting my son with GTA soonest. Also value for money compared to other tutoring services.

Rating: 5 / 5

Helped my daughter pass the 11+ absolutely over the moon. Great teacher, friendly staff, fairly priced, offered great support in any question she didn’t fully understand. What more could you ask Would definitely use again if needed in the future or for my other children. 10/10 service in our experience.

Nick was an excellent tutor over the summer; he provided a structured, well thought out programme of topics to help prepare my son for year 9 and keep his brain ticking over during the long holiday . Communication was excellent and Nick emailed brief feedback after each session and materials in preparation for the following week. My son enjoyed the sessions and I would thoroughly recommend Nick as a tutor.

Nick was a brilliant tutor, helping my daughter achieve a much higher grade at A Level Maths. He is very approachable, a great communicator and was very efficient with the lessons and practice papers. Highly recommend.

Rating: 5 / 5

Nick is an excellent and highly qualified tutor. He played a huge part in the achievement of my daughter's GCSE. From the beginning, he offered a lot of help and was very efficient in his lessons. My daughter has often surprised me with the variety of ways to solve a problem, and this is down to Nick, who has highly influenced her way of thinking . At the end of each lesson, Nick always gives feedback and homework for the next lesson.Nick increases her confidence, and by improving her grades significantly, she will now be doing Maths A level. And she really enjoys maths now! My daughter has highly benefited from the lessons with Nick and I highly recommend Nick to anyone! We are extremely grateful for his assistance and his dedication to the students is apparent. I can't imagine a better tutor for my daughter!

Nick is a fantastic tutor. My son had to take some time off school due to illness and Nick created engaging and challenging sessions over the summer to ensure Oscar caught up ahead of year 10. Oscar throughly enjoys each session and feels confident going into an important year after the summer break. Nick has a great way of connecting with his students and building confidence in their own ability and thought process. Highly recommend anyone looking for support in maths. Exceptional! Thank you Nick for all your support 😊

I cannot recommend Martin's Tuition Academy enough! My child recently achieved a remarkable 412 (97%) on the Kent 11+ test, and I wholeheartedly attribute this success to the exceptional tuition he received from Martin and his team. The personalised approach and supportive environment at Martin's Tuition Academy made a huge difference. My child felt genuinely cared for and motivated to excel. The lessons were engaging, challenging, and always tailored to their individual needs. Thank you, Martin's Tuition Academy, for helping my child reach their full potential. If you're looking for a tuition provider that truly cares about their students' success, I highly recommend giving them a try!

Rating: 5 / 5

Martin’s tuition is a very professional and helpful academy for 11 plus preparation. I have had a very positive experience for my child throughout his study with this academy. While I was struggling to find a good tuition centre in Dartford, I was very lucky parent that I managed to find this great academy. My husband and I was very impressed while we first met Mr Matin and instantly we decided to choose this academy for our child. My son achieved the top score of 422 in Kent tests this year which was more than our expectation. The tuition systems here of face to face classes and paper-works including mock tests are highly appreciable. I am grateful to Mr Martin and his team for all supports to my child!

Rating: 5 / 5

My daughter sat for 3 tests, qualified for 2 with exceptional results( one result is awaited). I can’t thank Martin enough for his hard work and commitment to his job. My daughter was very happy with the environment of the tutoring and the center throughout her teaching there. I have personally recommended the academy to a lot of people already. :)

My son’s tuition with Martin Tuition Academy helped him to obtain a splendid success. My son fantastically scored 422 out of 423 in the Kent Test assessment. I found this academy a great choice for my son’s 11plus preparation. Mr Martin and all experienced teachers always spotted every single weakness of my son precisely which in deed importantly helped my son to achieve such a top score. I highly recommend this academy for your child’s best 11 plus tuition centre!

Excellent experience with Sharan. Her 11+ book Understanding and applying: Mathematical reasoning, verbal reasoning and language inference is a great resource and really helped me to explain Essential topics to my daughter. She passed the Kent test with great scores. Thanks Sharan for being a part of our 11+ journey.

We can't thank Sharan enough for all the time, effort and patience she has shown our daughter over the past year. Our daughter has really enjoyed her tutoring sessions and we know she is going to miss them. We can see how much her confidence and knowledge has grown and this is down to Sharan’s passion and commitment for teaching.

My son enjoys his lessons and has definitely seen an expansion of his learning. Charnjit has great communication with myself (the parent ) also and is happy to discuss my sons progress, capabilities and areas of improvement. Many thanks Charnjit.

Charnjit has been an excellent tutor for my son. His understanding of Maths and English has greatly improved. This has had a big impact on his confidence and motivation. I would recommend Charnjit as her patience and support have hugely helped my son in all areas of his learning.

Mrs Charnjit is helping my daughter with her 11plus exam preparations. She is an amazing teacher who is particularly good at making kids understand which are the problem areas they need to work on, making them more confident and motivating them to work towards their goal. I would strongly recommend Mrs Charnjit to anyone who is looking for a committed and supportive teacher.

Rating: 5 / 5

Miss Charnjit has been a very good teacher for our son who was very hesitant and stressed about attending lessons in the beginning. He is new to this. Her patience and perseverance to reassure and calm him gave me and my husband peace of mind. She is a very experienced and calm tutor. We are lucky to have her teaching our son.

My son is currently preparing for the 11 Plus exam for private and grammar schools, and he recently joined BMH Tutors. I've noticed a significant improvement in his creative writing skills and his ability to infer meaning from comprehension passages. The teachers are not only highly competent but also patient, which has really helped him engage with the learning process. I highly recommend BMH Tutors if you're looking for a supportive teacher for your child’s 11 Plus preparation!

My daughter has been having lessons with BMH Tutors for a number of years and she thoroughly enjoys her Maths & English lessons. The tutors make the lessons fun and interactive and my daughter particularly looks forward to her English lesson and passionately shares with us what she has covered during her lessons. Her confidence and ability in maths has improved and she is ahead of many of her peers in school as a result. Her English teacher shares her passion for the English language with our daughter who has been inspired as a result and our daughter's descriptive writing has improved significantly as well as the standard of her written English, grammar and punctuation overall. She is also finding her science lessons helpful and she is becoming more secure in her knowledge of science. BMH Tutors are receptive to our daughters needs and listen to feedback and are always willing and able to come up with solutions to meet our daughter's needs, who has a full extra curricular diary. They are accommodating and flexible and have a 'can do' approach and are highly experienced, knowledgable and professional.
