Putney High School Entrance Guide

My 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.

Sobia understood exactly where our daughter needed support in order to pass the 13+ assessments for various London schools. In just 2.5 weeks, Sobia had assessed where our daughter had some gaps in her knowledge, created a personalised plan, and provided the patient and creative tutoring our daughter needed. Sobia provided very detailed and helpful feedback after the first session with our daughter so that we knew what the plan was. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Judith put us at ease from the start. She is extremely kind and caring, as well as being hugely knowledgeable about the preparation required for 7+. Our daughter looked forward to her sessions with Judith and came away feeling confident and proud of her achievements.

Leif tutored my daughter for sixth form entry to several London schools. We have lived outside the UK for a few years, so my daughter needed insight into how to approach the personal statement part of the schools application process, and in understanding what to expect during the exams. Leif provided practical advice and moral support, and in just two sessions, boosted my daughter's knowledge and confidence. She has since been offered places at all the schools she applied for. I'd highly recommend Leif to anyone looking for expert knowledge and familiarity with the competitive London school entry process.

Edie looks forward to her sessions with Judith and finishes feeling proud of what she’s learned. We are very happy with our experience.

Isabel was an excellent guide for our daughter in her 11+ preparations. More than the whole preparation aspect, what I was really thankful for was she helped our daughter build a strong foundation in the English language which I believe will go a long way, especially in her secondary education. Also, as our daughter was naturally very creative, she was able to channelise that skill by giving it more structure and format. I was just amazed and blown away by some of our daughter's recent creative writing pieces. Isabel's guidance definitely made that difference. She also taught our daughter the art of precision which was handy in her comprehension exercises. Most importantly, she made the whole process fun and engaging and our daughter loved her classes with Isabel. She worked with our daughter for over a year and at the end of this engagement, I can confidently say that our daughter has a strong hold and a genuine love for the language. Our daughter made it to many top schools in London including CLSG and Godolphin & Latymer that we are having a tough time choosing. Overall, we really appreciate her efforts and are thankful to Isabel especially as we are not native English speakers.

Finn's an enthusiastic and encouraging tutor who can pinpoint deficiencies quickly and correct them, while also highlighting strengths to give confidence. He was extremely attentive and diligent which rubbed off on my daughter who thoroughly enjoyed the lessons. The change over a few lessons was remarkable. Finn showed here where marks can be easily achieved or lost. He made the difference between passing and failing.
