Feedback from parents

Thanks very much for this last year. Your classes are very organised as always and she comes home happy despite the hard work. Your hard work is much appreciated.

Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2019)
Thank you very much for her mock exam results. The results were encouraging and she enjoyed the 11 plus summer course with Sarah last week.

Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2018)
I’d like to update you that Devkrish was successfully offered a place at the Royal Grammar School (first choice). He did attend a couple of your summer courses and mock exams which he found very useful. He enjoyed the sessions organised for the mock exams. Devkrish looks forward to excel in an academic environment. Thanks a lot.

Year 6 parent, Beaconsfield (2018)
Thank you, Polly really enjoyed the lesson today.

Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2015)
I think he has taken really well to the sessions and I look forward to him continuing with them to give him the support he needs to achieve his full potential. I am delighted with Daniel’s progress.

Year 4 parent, Beaconsfield (2016)
I am pleased to report that Freddie passed, albeit by the skin of his teeth, with a score of 122! Please pass on my thanks to Anne for all her hard work with Freddie last year.

Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2017)
I really appreciate getting data like this – it’s extremely useful and good to see that he is tracking well so far. He is actually really enjoying the lessons, more than I thought he would so the teacher is clearly doing a great job. The homework regime is also proving really helpful in terms of structuring the time I spend with him and understanding more directly where his strengths and weaknesses are.

Year 4 parent, Beaconsfield (2017)
We are delighted that he passed the 11+ so he is looking forward to joining his big brother at RGS next year assuming the school place allocation goes as expected! Thanks for your help and please pass our thanks onto Sinead too.

Year 6 parent, Beaconsfield (2019)
Thanks a lot for your support. Eva enjoyed the lessons!

Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2018)
Edward attended one of your week long summer courses in Beaconsfield. I thought that you would be interested to know that he passed with a score of 142. Phew! Thank you so much for your help with his preparation, and for sending him a good luck card in the post.

Year 6 parent, Bledlow (2019)
William is settling nicely in year 6. We’re delighted that he passed his 11+ with a fantastically high score! Thanks for your support and I hope we’ll be as successful with our daughter.

Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2016)
Thank you to you and to Anne for everything this year; whatever the outcome will be we’re proud of our boy for applying himself and are grateful for Anne’s patience and hard work with the group. It has been good training for future tests.

Year 6 parent, Beaconsfield (2019)
Just a quick note to tell you that Polly passed with a score of 139. Please thank Sarah and I appreciate all you did for Polly, especially moving the lessons around for her activity schedule and my work hours! We are delighted. I hope you have a good result throughout your classes.

Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2016)
Edward attended your 11 plus course (Bucks GL) in Beaconsfield over the Easter Holidays and found it very informative and fun! I would like to book him on another course during the summer holidays.

Year 5 parent, Chinnor (2019)
She passed with a score of 136 so a good result!

Year 6 parent, Beaconsfield (2019)
Hi Marie, a very big thank you to you and your staff in preparing Rohan (Beaconsfield Sat 930am class) for his 11 Plus. He passed the Bucks test with a score of 131. The tuition course was well structured and organised with prompt replies to emails. A very positive first experience of going through the 11 Plus process. We will be in touch soon to prepare our two younger children.

Year 5 parent, Ickenham (2018)
I wanted to just let you know that Jake really enjoyed his first session last week and seems motivated to complete the homework.

Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2015)
He has had a fabulous year 4 and we would like to thank you and Anne for all the hard work and effort. He is already looking forward to Year 5 lessons. Hope you all have a lovely summer break!

Year 4 parent, Beaconsfield (2019)
Mia is really enjoying the course this week. She was actually keen to join you next week too.

Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (Summer 2016)
I’m pleased to say that he passed. Thanks for all your teams help.

Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2018)
I am very pleased to write that my daughter, who attended your Easter and Summer revision courses, was successful in her Bucks 11+ exam.

Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2018)
He passed! Thank you for all your hard work with the groups. Couldn’t have done it without tuition for sure. We are very pleased.

Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2016)
This is a special thank you for all your efforts with them. They both passed their 11 plus with super scores! 143 and 150 respectively.

Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2016)
He passed the exam, (and not a bad effort!) and will be allocated a space at grammar school which we are delighted about. Thank you and your team for your support during the 11+.

Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2016)
We are happy to say that Finley passed (quite comfortably). Finley did say that he thinks it would have been a different experience going into the test without all the preparation through tuition.

Year 6 parent, Beaconsfield (2019)
I thought you’d like to know that he passed his 11plus – not with a whopping score but a pass is a pass. We are dead chuffed! Thank you for all your help.

Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2017)
I would like to let you know that for Christian out of all his academic activities, tuition is his favourite!

Year 4 parent, Beaconsfield (2017)
Connie enjoyed the summer school course. She was very happy to come in every day and seemed relaxed whilst also enjoying the work. Please pass on our thanks to the teacher for her work with Connie and her cheerful kindness throughout. It was very much appreciated.

Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2015)
Devkrish has enjoyed and found it beneficial attending your courses at Beaconsfield. He looks forward to attending one more summer holiday week course at Beaconsfield and the refresher lesson to follow also at Beaconsfield.

Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2017)
I think that the intense week of tutoring really helped.

Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2018)
He did very well passed both Bucks and Berks. Thanks.

Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2017)
Harvey enjoyed the first lesson – very impressed and looking forward to tomorrow’s lesson.

Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2016)
Hi Marie, Oliver has “qualified for a Buckinghamshire grammar school”! We are very happy indeed. Please convey our thanks to Anne. His score was 130.

Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2016)
Kaiya enjoyed her lesson and is looking forward to going again on Wednesday, which is good.

Year 4 parent, Beaconsfield (2016)
Thanks for the hard work with her this year and Laila is looking forward to getting back into it in September 🙂

Year 4 parent, Beaconsfield (2017)
Ben attended the summer school last week with Anne in Beaconsfield and found it very helpful. We received his test results today and are pleased that he has made good progress.

Year 5 parent, Chalfont St Peter (2017)
He passed with flying colours. We were very pleased with his results as was he.

Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2016)
I just wanted to let you know that our son passed the 11+, and would like to ask you to pass our gratitude to Sarah (the teacher in Beaconsfield on Saturdays). We think that she was a wonderful teacher to him!

Year 6 parent, Beaconsfield (2019)
Hi Marie – she Passed! Thanks for the support for the last year and a half – really paid off.

Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2018)
She passed the 11+ exam with a score of 138. She’s really looking forward to joining her sister at Beaconsfield High School next year.

Our thanks to you and her tutors for helping her achieve this.

Year 6 parent, Beaconsfield (2019)
I am delighted with Daniel’s results and I know that he will be too! So that you know, when we had Daniel’s end of term parents evening and last Progress Test reports from school, we were told that Daniel had made ‘much higher than expected progress’ in Maths and English since last taking the tests in 2016. I do credit Daniel for this of course, but I also want to say that I firmly believe that your tuition has also helped him to achieve these levels. Please pass on my thanks to his tutor, and let’s hope that he keeps up the good work.

Year 4 parent, Beaconsfield (2017)
I’m delighted to say that Connie passed her 11+ with a score of 167. Thank you very much for your contribution to that. We opted for your week long holiday course to kick start the ‘back to work’ moment. The structure and games that made up the classes plus completing the week with a mock were a great start to that process, just the right tone and content. In addition she chose to come to your one off Saturday class just before the exam on the Thursday and this too helped her with techniques for managing exam stress. Many thanks again and all the best for 2016.
