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 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.
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.
