“I heard from Sarah from a friend as I was looking for a tutor to help my daughter with the 11+ entrance exam preparation in year 5. She was an excellent teacher, punctual, reliable and always well prepared for each lesson, so the time spent teaching my daughter each week was really valuable. She gave very good advice as well as listening and I felt the tuition benefited her in many ways. She achieved an excellent result in her exam, not only that, her school teachers have commented on how much she has improved in her comprehension and creative writing skills over the year. I would recommend Sarah”. Parent, Birmingham, UK

He is definitely more confident with tackling more complex subjects and through working on past exam papers has boosted his belief in getting higher grades”. Parent, Birmingham.
