Our son was delighted to accept his first choice school and I have no doubt that Teach Wessex played an enormous part in his success. We will be returning when it’s time for our daughter to do the same. Thank you, Phil and Katie.Posted on a kTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Phil and Katie have been amazing and this is the place to let your child prepare for grammar school entrance exam-look for no other tuition as we cannot thank them enough for guiding and mentoring our son who passed two different grammar school entrance exams and get entry into grammar school (HGS and NHGS-Yorkshire). I cannot praise enough their professionalism blended with dedication and sincerity in helping our son. Thank you again and good luck to your future students!Posted on Carolina TexTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would highly recommend Teach Wessex for 11+ tuition. Our teacher, Saphire, was very attentive, clear in her instructions and explaniots, and really cared about my daughter's learning. We are very happy after receiving excellent results after my daughter exam.Posted on Holly HarmsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can highly recommend Phil (and Katie!) as 11+ grammar preparation tutors. Phil is an experienced, engaging, personable and effective tutor who taught and helped my son successfully pass the 11+ exam in September 2024. He is very knowledgeable, and his enthusiasm for teaching and learning is evident and contagious! Tutor sessions were held online via Zoom - this worked well and enabled flexibility in our busy schedule! We also attended the Mock Exam sessions at Broadstone which helped my son prepare and gain confidence for the actual exam day. Phil and Katie are a great team: professional, incredibly supportive, and very organised! I can’t recommend them highly enough!Posted on Kate MooresTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son has attended the mock exams for his 11+ with Katie and Phil. After every mock the feedback was returned quickly and gave a full insight of the gaps in his knowledge to allow us to prepare him for the actual 11+. Seeing his scores increase after every assessment showed us how effective and invaluable this feedback was. I would highly recommend Teach Wessex and advocate undertaking all mocks offered.Posted on Leeanne Walters-DoveTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son had English and Maths revision with Lesley (English) and Gary (Maths) both were brilliant tutors, explains things in a way that my son understood, went over topics he had not covered at school properly and improved his knowledge over all. He is half way though his GCSEs now but the tutoring has taken away a lot of the stress as he feels more confident in his abilities. Would highly recommend Teach Wessex!Posted on Lorna ProutTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Katie and Lesley have been great with my daughter. Lesley has been providing English (both language and literature) tuition for my daughter throughout years 10 and 11. Both have been super flexible fitting round our current schedules and Lesley has been so patient with my daughter who is severely dyslexic.Posted on Rajinder AtwalTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
