The 11+ results are in!

"Excellent tutor. Great communication . Really helped our daughter prepare for her 11 + and secondary school entrance exams. Thoroughly recommend."

"She scored 219 and in the end we went for Alcester Grammar School (AGS) as 1st choice. I’m pleased to say that she got offered a place today at AGS ( Automatic Qualifying Score was 217)!

She’ll be very happy when I tell her this afternoon. That’s the 11 plus journey over for me anyway - thank goodness!"

"I am impressed by how well my son concentrates with Nicola. She has achieved more with him in a few weeks than I think I would have achieved in a year. It is much less stressful to leave the tutoring in the hands of an expert."

"Nicola has tutored our daughter for the 11+ and entrance exams and during this time we have found her to be professional and friendly. Our daughter was well prepared for the 11+ and has grown in confidence in maths at school which has been reflected in her work. We are extremely pleased with our daughter’s progress and can highly recommend Nicola as a tutor."

"Nicola has tutored our 2 daughters for the last 3 years. We have been impressed with her professionalism, patience and teaching. She has always worked at a level and pace that has suited our children, but pushed them to move to the next level when she feels they are ready. She has shared tips and strategies that have proved successful during their 11+ exams. Both children have gone on to receive 11+ results we are very proud of."

We are thrilled with how well it has gone and it is a delight to see his progress and enthusiasm. It is a real credit to your teaching skills and I have nothing but praise for Nicola. He has come on this last year in leaps and bounds. Thank you so much.

"She has always been in top set maths and today she has been put into a higher level maths group so she will sit level 6 maths. They only place a few children in this group. Very proud and obviously wanted to recognise your tutoring in this."

"She always makes sure that you are understanding the questions to make your exam experience better. Before the exam, she goes through the layout of the exam and ensures that you are familiar with it! My daughter had a good experience with Nicola and did well in her 11+ and we felt that it was a good all-round experience."

I had the nicest compliment from a parent of a boy I've been teaching recently. It turns out he'd been to another tutor before me but had 'frozen' with her, shut down and refused to work. She said he needed to see someone first to address his 'issues' before she could teach him.
I didn't know any of this and I've had no problems. Dad said they're really pleased with how well he gets on with me.

"He's certainly benefited from the tutoring especially in his verbal reasoning which is much improved - we'll keep on trying to get him to slow down. Thanks very much for all your support."

"Nicola has been tutoring my 10 year old daughter since January of this year. Nicola is helping my daughter prepare for the 11 plus exam. My daughter has gained a lot of confidence to progress, especially with her mental maths which is her weakness. I get great feedback after each session and scoring which was never given to me with a previous tutor. My daughter's progress has also been shown in her school work for which her teacher praised her on how much she has excelled with her maths. Nicola has shown great empathy towards my daughter and I would highly recommend her."
