We could not have asked for a better fit for our son. Emily made him comfortable from the start and he actually enjoyed the tutoring. He is now thriving and at his new school and this is part due to the dialogue between her and his teacher. Emily is really approachable and flexible. Our son was prepared and not anxious for his 11+ exams and that owes significant debt to Emily

View all papersMy daughter enjoyed working with Sobia for her 13 plus English lessons. She gave constructive feedback and guidance on Comprehension based questions. She also helped my daughter with interview practice which was very effective. Sobia is flexible with changes to class schedules and is always prompt in responding to messages. Thank you Sobia for your valuable guidance.
Emily has done a brilliant job of forging a learning relationship with my son such that he actually wants to have sessions. I was fully expecting significant push back from him at having to do extra work at the weekend. That hasn't happened and indeed he is really happy to do 'extra' work because of how brilliant Emily is.
