TOP REVIEW FROM PREVIOUS STUDENT:

“Oli is a fantastic teacher and I would highly recommend him. My daughter studied English with him consistently and went on to receive three offers from top 10 independent schools, as well as offers from all the grammar schools she applied to. We are especially grateful to him.

Oli is able to spark a child’s interest in learning. English is a subject that requires long-term accumulation, and that interest is what helps children broaden their knowledge over time. This is especially important for independent school interviews, where a child’s confidence and ability to express themselves are built on vocabulary, reading and regular writing practice.

In the Newstead Wood verbal reasoning exam, my daughter was just one mark off full marks. Before working with Oli, we had done an initial assessment with another teacher, who felt that my daughter’s English was not even at the level expected by her school. After starting lessons with Oli, she made rapid progress.

This is not simply an advertisement for a teacher – it is our genuine personal experience.”
