"My son attended Deepa’s 11+ maths and English classes and he also had 1-2-1 for verbal and non-verbal reasoning. We started a bit late in the year as I was quite new to selective school entrance exams.

We are thrilled that my son will be going to Tiffin School, and he passed the independent entrance exams too. This would not have been possible without Deepa’s help. She is very knowledgeable about the different entrance exams and was excellent at organising the classes so the children had enough practice for each. She gives a lot of homework and is thorough so the children are always challenged. My son always liked to learn some shortcuts in Math which saved valuable seconds in the exam!

"Deepa has been an excellent tutor for my son during the entire 11-plus process. He passed all his entrance exams including Tiffin School, Sutton Grammar, Kingston Grammar School and Reeds.

The tutoring sessions really reinforced concepts that my son struggled with, especially with mathematics and non-verbal reasoning.

I personally felt the tutoring sessions done with a small group of students were highly effective as Deepa gave practice exams in a simulated test environment. This helped teach my son important exam techniques such as time management, and tips on how to answer the questions - building confidence which can only be learned through repetitive practice.

Deepa also helped my son with creative writing pieces and how to improve his writing style for independent schools. After each session, Deepa always gave constructive feedback and goals to encourage my son for the next lesson.

Finally, I can say without Deepa’s amazing tutoring, I don’t think my son would have gotten a place in the grammar schools - the result speaks for itself."

"Deepa is a fantastic tutor and her group and one-on-one sessions were critical in helping my daughter to pass the Tiffin Girls entrance exam.

In particular, Deepa was able to identify the specific areas where my daughter was struggling and coach her so she understood the subject matter. She also spent a lot of time helping with exam technique, for example how to approach the questions and how much time to spend on each question. Her knowledge of the different entrance exams was invaluable.

I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her to other parents."

"Thanks to Deepa’s help, my son was offered a place at Wilson’s School. He also cleared St. Olave’s. Deepa has played a vital role in his learning journey and she is an amazing tutor.

As her classes are small, I feel that my son still got the attention he needed and the 1-2-1 lessons were also extremely useful. Her perseverance in how to tackle comprehension, especially comparing text for the S.E.T tests, is much appreciated as is her creative writing course. The 11+ entrance exams are very challenging and it's important to have someone who knows what they are doing and what’s needed – I strongly recommend her classes. Thanks again."

"Deepa has been my daughter’s tutor in years 4 and 5. Her style of teaching really suited my daughter and it brought out the best in her. She is very good at motivating yet challenging her students. I had recommended her to some of my friends and all our children, including my daughter, passed their 11+ entrance exams for Nonsuch, Wilson and Wallington High School for Girls!

Throughout the year, Deepa has been extremely supportive and giving back constructive feedback. She is very thorough and knows her subjects and was able to give the children a lot of useful tips. Deepa uses a lot of practice papers and past papers towards the end and her summer intensive course also proved to be very valuable.

I strongly recommend her as she is a fantastic tutor who produces great results!"

"My daughter attended Mrs Deepa’s classes from year 4 which I feel is necessary for 11+ entrance exams. I am forever grateful for all her kindness and patience that helped boost my daughter’s confidence. She successfully secured a place at Tiffin Girls.

Mrs Deepa is a very passionate tutor and my daughter found the comprehension techniques and how to tackle word problems very useful. These tips will also be useful in secondary school so this has been an investment for life. I honestly feel it made all the difference and I would recommend her in a heartbeat! Thank you so much."

"I am delighted to let you know that my son was offered a place at Tiffin school after his hard work and commitment to his studies with you. He really enjoyed his classes and was well prepared.

I can’t thank you enough! He is so happy and he now believes that hard work pays off!! Thank you again Deepa"

"A huge thank you to Deepa who was instrumental in our daughter earning a place at Nonsuch High School which was our first choice.

My daughter really enjoyed going to Deepa as her classes are small and engaging. She would hone in on the weak areas and work on them until the topics are understood. Deepa also spent a good amount of time going over exam techniques, especially comprehension and creative writing, and time management. She always has time for you and always gives good advice to both children and parents. We could not have done this without her and she was the main ingredient to this success!"
