Frequently Asked Questions
Within this section, I have tried to address the most commonly asked questions that I get asked from parents. I have tried to address all areas which I believe most parents have concerns about. If there are any additional questions or concerns you have, please feel free to get in touch and send me an email.
Can you help me to picking the best schools to apply to for my child?
Yes, this is an area that I specialise in. There are so many academic schools for your child to pick from at 4+ and every school is very different. I always advise going to see each school at their open day to learn what they are about, and I can also give you my personal advice on which schools I think may be the best fit for your child.
Will you do all the tutoring, or will I need to help with this too?
