Our daughter enjoyed her sessions with Sian, finding them challenging and productive. She made significant progress with her maths and felt calm and confident going into her entrance assesments in year 6 which she passed. Many thanks to Owl Tutors and Sian.
Situated south of Oxford and near the Thames, Abingdon School provides both boarding and day options for senior school boys, including Sixth Form. Like many boarding schools it has a long history, with educational provision being traced back to the 12th century. These days however, the school boasts a modern curriculum underpinned by a caring atmosphere. Like many of independent schools there is an emphasis on extracurricular activities, so much so, it has it’s own term “The Other Half”. This includes the Abingdon film unit and is born out amongst the school’s alumni. Famous ‘Old Abingdons’ include actor Tom Hollander, members of the band Radiohead and comedian David Mitchell.

Alongside imparting her excellent subject knowledge with great skill, Sian was positive and kind in tutoring sessions with our son. She really brought out the best in him with her support and encouragement.
Sian immediately put our son at ease and has provided the perfect balance of support and challenge to help him make speedy progress. Her encouragement has built up his confidence even more than we had hoped and we are so pleased that we found her.
