Vanessa is an efficient communicator, whom it is easy to work under as a tutor!
My son had tutoring through Vanessa for A-levels in both Business Studies and Maths. Both tutors, Stephen and Damon, were very professional and experienced. They were approachable and interacted with him well. They assessed his needs and tailored the lessons appropriately. We definitely feel that the lessons made a significant difference to his marks.
Vanessa looks for tutors who have experience in teaching, have a good rapport with students and get successful results.
I would recommend Vanessa to other parents who are looking for tutors for their children.
When l first met Vanessa over Teams, she was very warm and welcoming. I knew that working with her would be easy and l also knew that l could learn from her as she has immense talent, knowledge and experience. And nothing has changed, it has been a great pleasure to work with her.
Vanessa is great to work for. She has made the move to online tutoring very simple, and has been able to get me work very quickly. She is very organised and also very patient with any help that I need. Highly recommended.
Vanessa was very meticulous with her approach and knew exactly what was needed to get children through 11+. She helped my son with key Maths and English concepts and exam techniques. He got into all the schools he applied to (Habs, Merchant Taylor’s and Harrow) with an academic scholarship in Merchant Taylor’s, and Vanessa was key to that success.
Working for Vanessa has been massively beneficial for me as a tutor. She handled all the admin leaving me to focus on providing the best quality teaching.
My son had one-to-one sessions with Vanessa for creative writing prep. We started very last minute (around 2 weeks before the exam) and Vanessa has been of massive help. She was highly accommodating and could derive the best out of my son. He cleared St. Olave’s stage 2 and was highly motivated after the sessions to even write a story for BBC competition and was in the top 100. All thanks to Vanessa – I believe she is one of the best when it comes to adjusting her teaching style as per kid’s individuality and keeping them motivated. Highly recommend Vanessa.
Vanessa home schooled and tutored my 8-year-old son for 9 months while he was in year 3. She taught him maths, English and components of the wider year 3 curriculum, including science and the Romans. Vanessa taught in such a way that motivated, encouraged and challenged my son. She achieved exactly the right balance of fun and being firm. He made real progress under her tutelage. Vanessa is a talented teacher who has a great deal of experience. This came through when we asked for her advice and guidance about our son’s education more generally. She supported my husband and I in our decision making around schooling and was clear and decisive in her approach. I continue to recommend Vanessa to everyone looking for a tutor – she is outstanding and really cares about the child.
In one word, brilliant! Vanessa is a first-class English tutor. She took our son from being incredibly nervous of English to him being able to write incredibly creative, well-structured, and beautiful stories at the drop of a hat. Two years later, and he still credits Vanessa with transforming his confidence with English.
Vanessa is highly experienced and extremely organised. She teaches in a calm and clear manner, immediately making the child feel at ease. My daughter’s creative writing improved significantly, which reflected in her results.
My daughter joined Vanessa’s lessons in year 5. She covers everything – vocabulary, comprehension and creative writing. In every lesson she takes a mini test of vocabulary, which we found very useful. I highly recommend her lessons.
Working for Vanessa as a tutor is a rewarding experience. Vanessa and I work closely to provide bespoke learning for our children, she is always happy to support with her wealth of experience in tutoring whilst at the same time giving me the freedom to be creative in my lesson design. Vanessa takes away the stress of administration to allow me time to focus on the children and their learning .
Vanessa has been a pleasure to work for. She is super helpful and brings years of experience to advise and guide you whilst also giving you autonomy for your own personal style of tutoring. You get to do all the best bits of teaching by focusing on your students whilst she does all the administration.
My daughter did Maths and English with Vanessa to prepare for 11plus exam when she was in Y5. We were mainly targeting private schools and Vanessa was amazing in helping prepare for the exam. I think the main advantage was that she got to do so many past papers which helped with time management and the content she should be focusing in creative writing. This massively helped my daughter and she managed to get offers from the top choices of schools we applied for.
Dear Vanessa,
Thank you for all of your support and guidance in helping both Vedika and Veer through their 11+ exams.
From all of us!
Vanessa is a very experienced teacher which really shines through in the quality of her instruction and preparation for independent school 11+ entry assessments. We are an overseas family applying to London schools, a daunting task! Vanessa quickly understood our son’s personality and attainment level and tailored preparation work specifically for him. She never misses a lesson, is always thorough and well prepared. Vanessa has a direct, practical and rigorous approach which our son responded to well and we are very pleased to receive (interview) offers from some of our son’s top choices for secondary schools. We wholeheartedly recommend her not just as a tutor but as a partner to any family preparing their child for the demands of entry assessments.
Vanessa has very qualified tutors in her team! We have worked with Vanessa’s tutor Jane, a highly professional, structured, experienced and sensitive teacher. Our daughter loves her sessions with Jane! Vanessa provides a wonderful support, is always very helpful and flexible! We highly recommend her and her wonderful tutors!
Vanessa was very committed to my daughter’s 11+ success. She was organised and punctual, and her feedback after every session was hugely beneficial.
Working with Vanessa has been excellent. She does a great job of putting me in touch with prospective students and takes all of the hassle out of the payment process. She’s been professional and supportive throughout, and She’s always been on hand to help.
We had fantastic guidance and support whilst our son, Salikh, was studying for his 11+ exams. We would highly recommend Vanessa and her tutoring agency. We are very grateful for all they did for us.
I have been working with Vanessa for around a year now and in this time have had a few students with her one who has become a long-term client which has been great. It’s been lovely seeing Vanessa’s tutoring agency grow and I’m looking forward to continue working for her.
Vanessa,
I am glad to inform you that Nivaan has cleared Habs. He also cleared the ISEB exam for Eton as well as Harrow.
I have worked with Vanessa since December 2022. In this time, she has been very supportive. She always responds to any query I have within a few hours.
The students I have tutored through Vanessa are matched with the skills I have to ensure the students receive the best teaching to help them make the progression in their learning.
Ms Vanessa’s tuition sessions were very well organised according to my son’s abilities. She know exactly what are the areas he needs to work on. The list of check list provided while writing comprehension and creative writing was the cherry on the top for 11plus creative writing papers. She made the preparation process so much easier and less stressful by breaking everything down into manageable steps. Thanks to Ms Vanessa not only improved my son’s English skills but also gained a deeper understanding of the exam format and strategies. If you are looking for tutor who knows how 11 plus English format works, look no further
All of my three children have had the pleasure of being taught by Vanessa and I can confidently say that she is the best tutor that we have ever used. She has a firm approach and challenges the children but it ensures that they reach their full potential. Her feedback after each lesson is very precise and she makes sure that the children know how to improve their work.
Vanessa is a fellow professional who respects my boundaries in terms of how many children I am able to tutor, and what days and times are workable for me. Having someone organise potential tutees means that I am able to concentrate on teaching.
Vanessa played a pivotal role in aiding our daughter reach her target during Yr4. Her guidance and patience was just what our daughter required to boost her confidence. Mrs Patel
It was great learning by my son from Vanessa, excellent command / knowledge in English language and grammar, surely recommend and appreciate Vanessa’s classes.

We just wanted to let you know.
