Mr L London

Following GCSE results day last week, we wanted to thank you for the maths and science and English tutoring in the last year you provided for M. He got some very good results. M achieved: 100% A/A*+ equivalents across all 11 GCSEs.

Mr O Nigeria

K has met and exceeded the requirements to take up his A level place. Thank you so much to everyone at Ivy Education for all your help.

Mrs T Brent Cross

Trausti has been perfect. He is so organized, helpful and knowledgeable and very patient. He clearly has a deep understanding of the curriculum and teaches it in such a way that my daughter has really improved significantly and is now on course to achieve the grade she wants in Maths. What has been so impressive is his ability to identify the areas that require work and after assessing to improve these "dodgy" areas with practice papers and tuition. He is meticulous and that is what is required at this stage - he is much appreciated!

Mrs M Bromley

We only have praise for Louise. W is excited about Louise's arrival and looks forward to his tutoring. This is fantastic as we have previously met with resistance from W for this length of lesson time. Louise understood W's learning style during their first session. W is engaged, happy and learning! We are very grateful to you putting us in contact with Louise and extremely happy with how W is progressing.

Mrs F Chiswick

We were delighted with Christen's approach, execution and general delivery. Our daughter finds it hard to get excited about a number of 'dry' science subjects and concentration at 11 years of age is not her strong point but Christen worked hard and appeared to keep G focused. Please thank Christen from us all.

Mrs C, parent of A-Level student Camberwell

We found Tom to be incredibly professional and thoughtful for such a young teacher. A hugely enjoyed his first lessons with him in the summer. Tom was on time, relaxed, thorough and interesting and A came away excited by what he had learnt.

Mrs R Clapham

We are so thrilled with C's progress already, he really enjoys his sessions with Tom and genuinely looks forward to them, which is fantastic. Tom has managed to bring alive an entire subject which C had previously thought very dull (English!). Thank you!

Mrs G Hampstead Heath

We are very happy with Luiza and G is comfortable with her teaching style. I am very happy with Ivy Education, it was easy to get in touch with you, you are well informed about the current education system and Luiza was punctual and polite.

Mrs M Bayswater

Emma was a fantastic tutor and had a really good rapport with C. She was very encouraging and supportive. She explained things in a clear and understandable way and C really grasped concepts under her tutelage. I would highly recommend her.

Mrs C Balham

Both absolutely fabulous! I'm sure we will be booking both of them again! Thank you for putting us in touch with two such delightful tutors.

Mrs S Belgravia

It's all been going very well. Marc took the time to really get to know M and I think this "bond" is helping M learn from him.

Mrs C Battersea

All is going well. A is now in the bilingual class and his teacher thinks he is doing fine, we keep working on spelling and writing. Melissa is very detailed on the work she is doing with him.

Mrs C Victoria

I met with Mrs C yesterday and she updated me on Y's progress. The family are extremely happy with the tutors and Y's results at school have improved noticeably. So they are very grateful to you at Ivy!

Mrs A Wandsworth

Poppy is an amazing person and fantastic teacher! We really enjoyed having her.

Mrs B Clapham

Max was great, he really was. Delightful and impressive and J liked working with him. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others. Definitely will need his services again this Easter hols.

Mrs G, parent of student sitting Common Entrance exams West Hampstead

J has greatly improved in comprehension and creative writing thanks to Robin, who has proved an excellent teacher"I know J will greatly miss Robin as he always enjoyed his lessons with him and Robin always managed to make the lessons. A big thank you to Robin for all his help with J if I do not see him in the near future.

Mrs D-B Clapham

Harmish impressed me; a very focussed together young man, as good at discussing his approach and my daughter's progress with me as he was at engaging with the youngster herself. He dealt with her teenage attitude incredibly well, got her on task and kept her there for the entire session. He told me he is used to teenage girls and often helps his younger twin sisters with their work". Clearly something which stands him (and them I suspect) in good stead! He shared some helpful ideas and materials with us as well! I highly recommend Hamish!

Mrs C Nigeria

I really do appreciate you keeping in touch with me. M's results came out on the 13th and she got admission into the University of Kent to study Law. J got his French result last week and made a B which he is extremely happy about as French has been a struggle for him. Thank you so much for your best wishes for him tomorrow. I will certainly contact you with the good news. Do have a lovely evening and thanks again for your good wishes. Ivy Education have been instrumental in the strides my children are making and for this we thank you all immensely.

Mrs E Windsor

May I also add how fantastic Delphine was, especially for English, and she was always willing and prepared for every lesson, she even offered to mark essays and answer any last minute questions I had in her own time regardless of the time of day. Highly recommended. And thank you for the great communication, I'll be sure to recommend your services.

Mrs C Dulwich

A has now had two sessions with Joseph and is really enjoying them. She has already increased in confidence in the areas covered during the sessions and I hope that this will continue next year too.

Mrs E Belgravia

I just wanted to let you know I was pleased with Ellyn and impressed by her ability to break down the concepts for T. He says she cleared up a lot of issues for him.

Mrs F Dulwich

N seems to be making good progress with Joseph. Joseph is lovely, always punctual and polite and flexible with timings, N really likes him which is half the battle and says that he explains things really well. Thank you for checking in.

Mrs I Chiswick

Many thanks for your feedback and please pass on our thanks to Tom. A has found her first tutorial sessions to be very helpful and enjoys the sessions with Tom.

Mrs F-A Essex

I also wanted to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to Vincent. He hit it off with T from day one and was an excellent tutor for him - motivating and teaching him but they also had fun together. T never once complained about having a session with Vincent which is a big achievement. Thank you

Mrs C Richmond

With Delphine tuition with SW has improved very much with regards to his school. We are very happy to have her on board.

Mrs G Wandsworth

I am glad to say that Alex was a big hit, and H really learned a lot in his first lesson.

Mrs H Knightsbridge

We were very happy with your service. Alastair was very accommodating and helpful, even though I left it so late in arranging a tutor this time for my son J on our trip to London. J just loved Robin! He made it somehow fun for him and J wants to read the books that Robin recommended.

Mrs H Ealing

All went well. The kids were inspired by him, and I have no doubt they will learn plenty over coming days. I have asked him if he is available for a couple of days next week. David has been great. The kids have achieved a lot and enjoyed the process. I asked him back for two more 3 hour sessions.

Mrs M Clapham

I do want to tell you how helpful B found Alex to be. He is so charming and appears to care so much which is delightful. B loved his sessions with him.

Mrs H Chelsea

He made a tremendous effort preparing each boy their own beautiful journal. Each journal focusing on the remit I gave him (one reading the other writing). All in clever and creative ways. So, I was v pleased as I really did not want 'dry' (boring!) tutoring. David seems to have fit the bill for creative and out of the box thinking. So, thank you as it seems to be a good match.

Mrs L Jersey

Andy is a great teacher. J definitely found all the sessions helpful and Andy went out of his way to ensure she got the most out of each session, even returning one day to pick up a paper to mark that she hadn't been able to finish in time. Many thanks for all your help and I will definitely be putting the word out and about in Jersey about Ivy Education.

Mrs W Wandsworth

I have been meaning to contact you to say thank you for providing Alex to help with T's maths. He is a very nice personable and conscientious young man and he and T got on really well. She definitely felt much more confident by the end, so let's hope all the hard work from both parties has paid off!

Mrs M Paddington

Emma was an excellent tutor. She established a very positive and friendly rapport with my son and he connected well with her, responded to her teaching and felt very comfortable working with her. I would highly recommend her.

Mrs M Chelsea

Just to say thank you so much for asking David to see H. Needless to say he was a big hit and H loved his time with him. So much so - it was his favourite part of the weekend ranked above his beloved tennis, swimming and the lego exhibition!

Mrs K Kensington

Thank you very much for looking after J. He thoroughly enjoyed it and as we are assessing his tutoring requirements going forwards and are likely to be in touch again shortly.

Mrs M Wandsworth

I did her English exam yesterday without tears!! Amy was fantastic, and gave I the confidence she needed. I only wished I had organised her earlier!!

Dr N Acton

Akilah was so great and actually did such a good job that S now feels confident to carry on without tuition! We will be back in touch should that prove to be overly optimistic!

Mrs R, parent of GCSE student Wandsworth

We have always found Alex to be a brilliant tutor. W definitely benefits from the limited time spent with Alex and it has always been a very positive experience.

Mrs P Notting Hill

Both Alex and Sally are delightful, warm, and terrifically inspiring teachers. We all enjoyed them coming to the flat. Alex brings a whiteboard which makes maths more fun, and he is like a big brother to the kids. The three usually chat after a lesson. Sally and S click beautifully. Sally uses theatrical voices to motivate S's creativity.

Mrs L-J Chelsea

H has been raaaaaaaaaving about Jack ever since they met on Friday!!! He has SO many wonderfully creative ideas in terms of how to "teach" P using the natural environment on Harbour Island shells, treasure hunts etc etc. We are SO excited and full of anticipation. Thank you SO much Al, you are the best. Literally!

Mrs T White City

We have been so happy with Michael, C has improved noticeably and is making fantastic progress, scoring above average and beyond expectation for Maths and English in her end of year tests. We look forward to working with Michael further. He is fantastic! Many thanks

Mrs W Balham

Lizzie has made the past two weeks such a happy journey, she has been more than professional and thorough throughout and consequently E has tackled these exams with so much determination and confidence. To be honest I am rather in awe of what they have achieved together. I only hope that when we next need some help with revision that she will be available.

Mrs W Kent

Just a quick note to say thank you so much for yesterday. Z is so very pleased with what she was able to do with Bea and she thought Bea was marvellous.

Mrs S Wandsworth

Thanks for recommending Gavin. He was a fantastic tutor for both my kids. His calm approach was certainly appreciated by both, and I have no doubt that the work they did with him has been of great benefit. Gavin is very personable and easy to have in the house and the kids seemed to be very happy in his company, which is key.

Mrs E South Africa

Your offices were helpful from the get-go. They were able to find a suitable Tutor in the first try so that we did not have to go through many interviews. They were also helpful when I was not able to do the payments as requested, as I do not have a British Bank account. C had two Tutors, both of which were engaging and were able to keep him interested in subjects that he struggles with. They have helped him improve and enjoy the subjects, which for a 10-year-old boy is no easy task. Thank you for all your help and making the online tutoring such a success. I am very grateful

Mrs E South Africa

The tutoring is going very well at the moment. I was worried that it would not work so well over Skype, but my son seems to enjoy it. He especially likes Jake which is, of course, a huge plus.

Mrs. B Fulham

Nicola was a great success, T really enjoyed his lessons with her – he made English fun! That was fantastic. I recommend and I will get in touch in the New Year to arrange further tutoring

Mr N Manchester

We are very pleased to have Eisha. She is precisely the calibre of tutor we were hoping for. She is excellent in all respects. We intend to continue with her in the coming months on at least a weekly basis.

Mrs E, Parent of 11+ student

We very much liked Coco and her teaching technique. We felt that she would be a good fit for our daughter who was initially quite nervous/ apprehensive but seemed to relax. Coco has a very patient and kind manner which is better for my daughter’s character. We are very happy with Coco and thank you Ivy for pairing her up with my daughter.

Mrs S, Parent of Year 9 student Kensington

Ivy has been invaluable- when A started she was a year behind- with Ivy’s tutors she is now ahead of her class in French and Latin! The tutors have been world-class and the service is always considerate and helpful. We couldn’t be happier!

Mrs C, Parent of Year 13 student London

Christopher has been excellent and I would be happy to recommend him to other students or act as a reference for parents!

Mrs J Wandsworth

Caroline has been an excellent tutor for my daughter's EPQ. She has motivated my daughter to progress and advance her approach in a very encouraging and importantly informed way.

Mrs L Chiswick

I thought George was very specific and targeted in how he approached working with my son. I shared some thoughts about how my son approaches learning, and George really took them on board. We traversed a lot of ground in a short time which was exactly what we needed. He formed a helpful bond with my son that made the whole process both more productive and relaxed than it could have been. The Ivy Education team are great, very responsive and helpful.

Mrs S Sutton

Gavin is an excellent tutor. He has tutored my son for last 3 years to finally achieve his 11 + targets, we have already received St Paul's 13+ offer today and hope to receive more over the next few weeks. Gavin is excellent in doing targeted work and has great communication with my son. My son enjoys his lessons and looks forward to it.

Naima Parent in London

Ivy Education delivered each and every time I called on them for assistance with my kids. We immigrated in the middle of their high school career and they required a great deal of help to adjust to a new curriculum and the UK academic standards. They have now all successfully completed their A levels and Ivy Education assisted them throughout their journey. Thank you for getting us the right tutor for our needs. Some of their tutors have become lifelong friends.

Bryony Parent & Headteacher, London

As a mother of 4 children and also a Headteacher, when I decided to arrange tutors for my children, I knew that I couldn’t accept anything but the best for my own children so I was probably a challenge for Ivy Tutors! However, they have been utterly professional, reliable and committed to offering a ‘bespoke tutor’ match for each of my 4 very different children. Each of the tutors we have had over the years have been not only excellent teachers, but also very positive role models for our teenagers. I genuinely highly recommend Ivy Tutors to other families.

Mr S Canary Wharf, London

Thank you for all your support and patience. Your lessons made a huge difference and her teachers at her current school remarked that they felt she had come on quite a bit since the last time they saw her in person. Apparently, she told them a couple of things her “Teacher Anna” taught her, and they were perplexed by who “Teacher Anna” is…
