What The Parents Say

Zoë has been exceptional in tutoring our son and the attention she has given him. Zoë provided us with guidance on where he was excelling and where he needed to apply more focus. This allowed us to concentrate on his weaker areas and not just keep revising all the topics over and over. We couldn’t recommend Zoë enough and hence have signed our younger son up too! Thank you Zoë!

Testimonial from Mr & Mrs B.

Also just wanted to take this opportunity to say thanks so much for everything you have done with [my son], he speaks so highly of you. We can honestly say you’ve been brilliant through all of this. It’s been a very different year which none of us were expecting but even for myself and understanding what he needs to work on I actually got it 😊 …just wish I had you when my eldest went through this too. Appreciate it all.

Testimonial from K. R.

Zoë has tutored all three of our children. They all passed. Of course they have differing abilities, but Zoë taught them all exam technique and strategy. More importantly she gave them the confidence to tackle the exam knowing they had prepared and were ready. She did this whilst also being realistic that tutoring shouldn’t take over your life and make you miserable. Thank you Zoë.

Testimonial from J. B.

Zoë has been extremely supportive, approachable and knowledgeable on what has been an even more than normal challenging 11+ year. The workload she has set has been manageable and she has not overloaded us. Our son enjoyed working with her and respected her. Zoë responded to any of our queries quickly and effectively. We will be using her again for our daughter.
