Melisa

Primary education teacher • Qualified to teach in 2015 • Home • Online

  • Masters

With just 10 weeks to go before a school entrance exam, Melisa rapidly identified our child’s strengths and weaknesses to then focus on specific areas in order to help them succeed and pass the test. We are very grateful for her targeted but low pressure approach to tuition which worked well for us.

School Entrance Experience

Melisa has experience of preparing pupils for the following schools:

Forest School
Normanhurst School
I have had 4 different students apply for scholarships to these schools, including a prestigious grammar school Woodford County High School for Girls. Out of these four, all students were offered places and 3 were offered scholarships:
1 student to Woodford County for the 11+
1 student to Normanhurst for a half scholarship
1 student for a quarter scholarship to Forest School
In addition to this, I have undertaken 7+ teaching for 18 months now, with students looking to sit their exams this year.

What parents and students say

Average rating: 5 stars from 3 reviews • 100% would use again

Melisa has been such a brilliant tutor for Jonah. She is knowledgable, supportive and caring and Jonah’s confidence and understanding of Maths has increased tenfold since having his sessions with her. Her feedback after each session is extremely useful and provides detailed information on what has been covered and useful tips for his teacher and us as well. She really is an incredible tutor and we feel so lucky to have found her!
