“Preparing a child for entry at 11+ is tough and it felt daunting at first for our daughter and us parents alike. Isabel’s expertise, professional advice and tuition have imbued us with confidence and helped make every stage of the journey as smooth as possible. Thanks to Isabel our daughter’s learning and self assurance has been boosted and this in turn has given her wings to fly.”

“Isabel has been such a reassuring presence in our lives for the past two and a half years. She tutored my son through his 11+ and brought perspective and humour to what can be a fraught process.  She also supported us parents through this period  - we were feeling the pressure more than our son was, and I always felt better after a chat with her!

 Recently it has come to light that our son has some neurodivergent traits.  This is a whole new world to us and quite overwhelming; the first person I thought to call was Isabel, who as ever had such a helpful perspective: calm, wise, well informed and infinitely sensible, giving us several very helpful thoughts and pointers.

“We have an autistic daughter who finds tutor lesson's quite difficult as she struggles to form a connection and maintain concentration. After many unsuccessful tries with other tutors Isabel was reccomended to us by a friend whose daughter was having lessons with her. Our daughter was immediately at ease with isabel, and not only does she concentrate and successfully get through her lessons, she now actually enjoys them too.

Our daughter is the eldest, so the journey into finding a future school is a first for us. We told Isabel what school we liked the look of and by our daughter’s next lesson she had looked at the school in depth and was a fountain of knowledge on the school's selection process, interview processes and set out a plan for our daughter that will take her right up until exam and interview days. She spent a long time on the phone with me explaining everything thoroughly and easing my worries for the future. 

Our daughter is now working hard and enjoying her weekly lessons. A lesson recap is always given after so we know exactly what shes been doing and what we need to work on at home.
My only wish is that we met Isabel sooner!”
