“Melissa tutored my daughter in English through the 11+ process.   She was offered entry into all the schools, including Alleyn’s and JAGS, that she applied to.  Melissa is experienced and methodical in her work and best of all she is calm.  She communicated with me every step of the way and I could not recommend her more.”

“Our son has been offered a place at Dulwich Prep!  We are completely bowled over.  I’m certain that all your work with him, even in a short amount of time, contributed to his success.  Thank you Melissa.”
