Simon made tutoring sessions fun and my daughter was relaxed and enjoyed the work. Simon tailored sessions to her needs - helping her learn the techniques required and to grow in confidence, enabling her to complete the 11+ assessment successfully.

Thank you Simon for all your support and patience with Harrison with his tutoring for the 11 plus. It really helped him develop the skills and techniques needed to approach the exams with confidence. Harrison achieved the necessary marks to get into the school of his choice and we are really grateful for your help in achieving this.

Simon taught me how to stop worrying about the 11+ test. He was kind and helpful if I didn’t understand anything. I had lots of fun and found the homework manageable. Thank you Simon!

Simon helped me prepare for my 11+, which I passed. He also taught me many things that helped me in school, especially with my maths. I really enjoyed my lessons and they were really fun. Simon was very kind and always encouraged me.

Well, what can we say? Simon was brilliant with our son Luka from start to finish. We picked Simon as although our son is bright he's shy and we felt a one-on-one tutor would be best for him. Simon came around a month before he started tutoring to introduce himself and get to know Luca. He explained how he worked to us and to our son too. I found that the best part Simon took the time to get to know our Son. He looked forward to Simon's weekly visits and enjoyed his weekly sessions. Homework was always set at the right level and given in the right proportion. Simon gave us feedback after every lesson, helping us to understand how we could help Luka improve on his weaknesses. Luka passed his 11+ with flying colours. We would like to thank Simon and say to anyone looking for a tutor that we couldn't recommend Simon highly enough.

We found Simon through a friend and from the initial phone conversation it seemed a great working relationship Simon explained how he worked,realistic expectations,time frames,exam format,timings all simple things but information wr hadn’t been aware of I would recommend Simon wholeheartedly in every way and feel he really supported our son on his complex mine field of 11+ and St Anslems journeys.

I had Simon once a week and always enjoyed his lessons. I found him to be kind and kept the work to be fun and different. I never felt under pressure and we always worked on something until I fully understood it. The homework was never overwhelming. Thank you again Simon . Thank you again for helping me pass my eleven plus

I had Simon tutor me for the 11+, he really helped me and made it really clear what I needed to do each lesson. When I went into the exam I remember he had told me not to worry and so I was not scared at all. I passed the 11+ and I'm thankful that I had Simon be my tutor.

Our daughter had Simon as her tutor and has passed the 11+ with flying colours. That is testimony alone, however as well as being taught how to answer the questions types that would come up what really impressed me is how she grew in confidence. She was not nervous at all when sitting the exam and actually really enjoyed it. Simon prepared her in such a way that she was able to go into that exam room calm and not let her nerves get the better of her. Thank you Simon

Our son thoroughly enjoyed his sessions with Simon! Whilst preparing him for both the St Anselm’s and 11+ examinations he also spent time refreshing all aspects of Maths, concentrating on the areas he had concerns with. His teachers have commented during parents’ evenings how his confidence had grown in the subject, for this alone we are grateful. Harrison has passed both examinations and is now spoilt for choice for his selection of schools. We have booked Simon for 2025 in readiness to assist our daughter! Thank you!
