Kathryn Google Review

“We cannot begin to express how transformational Ivy Education has been for our family. We stepped into the London school system fairly clueless and what Ivy has achieved is nothing short of remarkable. From tutors to school consultants to assessments, we have at least triple the information we had just weeks ago. Their expertise and approach are spot on and they’ve built a confidence and relief that we’ll find our way through a complex process. Tremendous thanks to the entire Ivy team, especially Alastair, Jessica, Charlotte, and Conor. We cannot recommend Ivy enough!”

“Conor was fantastic in helping us prepare for the 7+ assessment. He really understands what’s being tested and knows the process inside out. In just a few months, our son made a huge leap in English, and thanks to Conor we secured an offer from our first-choice school. We’d absolutely recommend him.”

Charlotte Google Review

“Ivy Education helped me enormously in achieving the A-level grades I needed to secure a place at Durham University (A*AA). Their incredible tutors, support, and top quality feedback allowed me to prepare for my exams in the best way possible, helping me in organising my studies and mastering the topics that I found most challenging, with a particular focus on Chemistry. Their structured and well-suited sessions gave me so much more confidence, and helped me massively. Would 100% recommend!”

“We approached Ivy Education to assess our daughter and provide us with detailed feedback on suitable secondary schools and a mapped out timeline to reduce the noise from the school gates and have a concrete practical approach. The whole team was brilliant from communication, the assessment and the meeting with Mrs. Faber. I can highly recommend them if you're in need for more visibility into the British school system and require a tailored roadmap for your child's education.”
