Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
Jo was a breath of fresh air, just months before our daughter sat her GCSEs. She needed a lot of support in Science, and in regaining her shattered confidence after disappointing mock results.
Jo really turned this around. She came armed with visual notes and past papers to support her learning. My daughter really connected with her and enjoyed her sessions. Normally she'd complain about a double lesson, but she really engaged with Jo and was able to concentrate and maintain her energy.
We were thrilled to learn she had achieved 8s in the Sciences - particularly as the school had predicted 6s. We would not hesitate to recommend Josephine and cannot thank her enough.Josephine came to the rescue, just seven months before our son sat the 11+. Though he was strong in Maths, he required a lot of support in English, and in regaining his confidence. Given his strong aversion to English, we were concerned about his chances of success.
Josephine turned this around rapidly. She had tools, techniques and unique mnemonics to support his learnings. My son really connected with her and looked forward to her visits - often commenting on her "happy" disposition.
My son is now inspired to write beautifully, both in school and for his favourite tutor. We were over the moon to learn he had achieved the necessary requirements for admission to DAO and QE. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Josephine.Josephine has been supporting our son towards 11+ and ISEB 13+ Pre-tests for just under a year. Simply put she is a fabulous tutor.
Working across maths, English, VR and NVR Josephine has impressed us with her results. Our son has considerably improved, and his confidence and methodology for approaching academic challenges has grown considerably.
Our son enjoys working with Jo. She is clearly extremely well prepared for each lesson. She set out a clear learning path in advance based on his skill, and constantly refined and adapted it as they progressed. She has an excellent understanding of the upcoming exams and their requirements, is very well versed in the specifics of target schools and sets plenty of time aside to discuss progress with us, reflect on challenges and answer our questions.
Hiring Josephine has been brilliant. It’s clear there is a great deal of skill and knowledge required to support children in contemporary academic subjects which we haven’t carried forward from our schools days.
As a person Jo is lovely; very calm, friendly, well-mannered and diligent. Her teaching style is refined and elegant and because of these traits and her results we wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her to support your child.Enthusiastic and very supportive tutor. We enjoyed our 11 plus journey with her and my son improved a lot in maths and English.
Definitely recommended.Jo is simply an outstanding tutor and a wonderful person. She is an excellent educator who is easily able to articulate any area of the English or Maths 11+ curriculum (and beyond). If we'd known a tutor of Jo's calibre existed, we'd have contracted her for the entire 11+ approach. Instead, as we'd prepared for the exams at home, Jo was easily able to shore up the areas where we fell short in a highly effective manner. We've thoroughly enjoyed working with Jo and wish we could find more reasons to engage her as a tutor!
Josephine is the best tutor we've met so far. She is very patient, friendly and professional. Her tailored lessons, focusing on my daughter's weak areas based on observations, to prepare my daughter for 11 plus in a very short period of time was an eye opener after having experienced other tutors who had only provided very generic lessons. She has great expertise in 11plus admissions and processes so has guided not only my daughter but me, too. I can recommend Josephine to anyone who is looking for an excellent tutor.
Josephine is a wonderful 11+ tutor. She helped us to prepare for the English and Maths papers, and I only wish we have come to her sooner. She explained everything clearly, leaving no stone unturned. She was very patient and cared about my son's success in the exams. I would highly recommend her.
Jo is a fabulous English & Maths tutor. She tremendously helped my daughter in preparing for her 11+ exams. We wasted a lot of time with other tutors, and finally got things right with Jo. She is incredibly patient, knowledgeable and persistsent. It’s so clear she wants the best for her students.
Josephine was a fantastic 11+ Tutor for my daughter, in every respect.
She significantly improved my daughter’s performance in the Numerical Reasoning tests, improving her speed, accuracy, approach to difficult questions, and her confidence.
She provided my daughter with a bespoke weekly timetable, set homework and past papers each week, and gave us complimentary advice on all aspects of the tests.
Josephine really goes above and beyond for her student’s success - which is evident from Day 1.
She is genuine, patient, creative and enthusiastic - and of course focused on the end game.My son is really enjoying his Chemistry sessions with Jo. We are already seeing big improvements in his assignment scores, and in his enthusiasm and confidence.
Jo has also been helping him with past papers and exam practice; we are so grateful to have found her.She is a very organised and dedicated tutor, she has helped my son tremendously. She is willing to overrun lessons to ensure he does well, and helps with test preparation including past papers and quizzes.
Josephine is a brilliant, engaging Maths tutor, after a month my daughter’s view of maths has completely turned around, and her confidence has significantly improved. I would happily recommend her to other parents.
My family found Josephine to be an exceptional tutor. She is so nice and patient, and really takes her time to ensure both my son and daughter fully grasp the topics.
She has massively helped both of my children with their Maths and my son passed his 11+ exam to a prestigious school. I highly recommend.Ms. Josephine provided incredible assistance and very effectively tutored my daughter who was struggling in the run up to her science GCSE. Through her excellent tutoring, my daughter has regained her confidence and developed a real passion for science.
Ms. Josephine demonstrated a high level of professionalism and skill! I cannot thank her enough!View more recommendations
