Recent testimonials

We had tried several other tutors before finding Sophie and we are so grateful to her. Sophie was immediately able to assess the topics my son was already confident in, and focus in quickly on what he needed to work on. The lessons were structured, engaging, and a perfect pace - pushing him to improve in a really supportive way. In a short space of time my son grew in both confidence and skill. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her for anyone sitting 7+ or 11+ exams.
