Within a month into his achievers classes we knew our son would love it! The framework, the pace and the teacher(Helen) ofcourse are an excellent combination.. A potion for success!

Before A-Star Tuition, my science grades had really fallen, and I was struggling to understand a fair chunk of the curriculum. But then, once I received Dr. Hanna‘s tuition, I could see my grades really start improving again. The parts of the curriculum that previously made no sense to me quickly became the easy parts of exams that felt like they were just free marks. Dr. Hanna is a fantastic tutor, she explains how to answer questions extremely clearly and I feel like I learn something new every session, whether that be content or exam technique. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a science tutor.

Helen has tutored both of my sons for the 11 plus exam. Not only do they work hard on learning all the different aspects such as verbal reasoning, but also focuses on exam techniques, she builds their confidence and gives them reassurance. The mock exams prepares them for walking into an unknown exam room, full of students they dont know, following procedures they've never done before so that on the actual exam day, they are prepared and they know what to expect. We have 2 lessons a week with homework set to consolidate the weeks learning. My son loves playing the different games and thrives to be the winner. We've had 2 very positive experiences with a star tuition and would highly recommend.

My daughter started the 11+ accelerator programme last September with low confidence, within 9 months she managed to secure herself a place at our chosen grammar school. This was no doute not possible without the help and patience of Helen and her classes. Although we didn't do the mock exams as it wasn't needed I do believe they would have really helped if we had needed them.I'm so glad I choose A Star tuition and thank you again Helen for supporting us this last year.Suzanne and Sophie

A Star Tuition Group is a wonderful place to help your child reach their potential, be it general academic improvement or passing the 11+ examination. Helen ensures all learning activities are engaging within a very welcoming environment. I can firmly recommend her.

I would highly recommend A Star Tuition Group. My son has been attending the 11 plus programme with Helen since September. He really enjoys the lessons as Helen ensures that the learning is interactive and fun with the expectation that the pupils take responsibility for their learning and any follow up activity required at home. I have noticed a big improvement in terms of his ability in all areas and have been delighted with how the lessons have increased his self confidence. Liam attended all three mock exams and I received detailed feedback from Helen each time highlighting the areas that he needed to focus on. Would highly recommend!

I personally haven't found the tuition of any benefit, especially the mock exams. There are 3 mock exams, 28 days apart and results are given around 21 days with feedback, 7 days isn't sufficient time to improve on those areas. The 3rd mock exams is 28 days I have been told. The CGP online tests and mock exams are instant and provides feedback and a lot cheaper. With the appropriate books and online tests, there is no advantage in doing tuition. This is from a parent stance.

My child has been enjoying the 11+ course. She has improved in confidence and Helen offers great support and guidance.

A star tuition has been fabulous! My daughter Elena was predicted very low grades in both Science and English before starting her tuition with Hanna (Science) and Ray and Natasha ( English) . She is now feeling confident in passing both English and Science with strong passes. Her science teacher commented that she has gone from the least engaged student in her class to one of the most engaged students in her class! As for English, I have even taken up some Creative writing myself! Helen is absolutely lovely and she makes sure everything is going well and offers lots of support! I am very grateful to A star tuition and I would highly recommend this service! Thanks so much Helen, Hanna, Ray and Natasha!Anna Gershlick

Our daughter is really enjoying tuition with Helen. The sessions are friendly and supportive whist being packed full of learning and very stimulating! Our daughter has come on leaps and bounds. We feel she is well supported and we feel listened to as parents. Helen has helped us to make the right decisions for our daughter!

My son is part way through the accelerator course and he is really enjoying Helen's classes. He has definitely improved academically. The lessons are fun whilst maintaining focus and structure. The mock exams are a great way of getting the children used to that kind of environment, removing unnecessary pressure and highlighting any areas needing improvement. Hopefully this will lead to good results at the end. I would recommend A Star Tuition for anyone looking for a that extra support in helping their child reach their full potential.

My daughter is midway through her tuition with Helen for the 11 plus and has improved in confidence and ability during this time. Helen's programme is fun, structured and focuses on the key areas to ensure success on the day. I would recommend Helen to anyone seeking to for their child to reach their full potential.

Emma has been working with Helen for just a few months and I can see her progress - both academically but also in confidence in her abilities. She’s now passed the test for Year 6 for BGS and I am really pleased that Helen has been part of this. Thank you!

Her success is evident, with many students returning for tuition years after completing other programmes, such as the 11+ Exam Accelerator Programme, clearly demonstrating their trust in her expertise.From a tutor's point of view, it is a pleasure to work with Helen! I truly value how she bridges the gap between students, tutors and families, ensuring clear and consistent communication and support throughout the programme. She provides valuable background information on each student, such as their individual needs or circumstances, allowing me to tailor lessons specifically to their level. Her thoughtful approach not only supports students in areas where they need it most, but also creates a positive, engaging environment where students' successes are celebrated, boosting their confidence and fostering long-term progress.

My son started on the Achievers+ online programme last year. I’m really pleased with the results so far, I can see a tangible improvement in both ability and confidence. Learning materials are excellent, lessons are fun while maintaining a focus on learning objectives. Parent communication is great, my interactions with Helen coupled with the results I have seen so far give me the confidence that she really knows how to bring about the improvements I was hoping for when accessing additional tuition. Highly recommended.

Our little girl (year 4) has been attending Helen’s class since the start of term. She really enjoys the weekly online sessions (and unbelievably the homework!) Her confidence in class has grown significantly over recent weeks and she now relishes a challenge rather than feeling daunted and overwhelmed by it. Helen’s professionalism, structure and flexibility in the classroom means that she is able to get the most out of her students and we’d thoroughly recommend ‘A Star Tuition’ to others.

My son is really enjoying the Achievers + Programme and is now 'working above' in all areas at school. Helen has a warm and supportive approach and my son is continuing to gain confidence within the group. Helen also taught my eldest son with amazing results and I am hoping she will continue to teach my younger son through his learning journey. I have really valued all of her input, support and expertise. Thank you so much Helen!

Helen's Achievers+ Programme was a fantastic experience for our son. He genuinely looked forward to the weekly online lessons, which were thoughtfully planned and perfectly balanced between maths and English. It was clear how much care and effort Helen put into each session, from the preparation of engaging resources to her constructive feedback on classwork and homework. What stood out the most was Helen’s warm and encouraging approach. She created a supportive atmosphere that really helped our son build confidence, especially in areas of English that he had found challenging before. He also loved the group setting, which gave him the chance to connect with his peers and learn from their contributions. We’re grateful to Helen for helping our son make great progress. We’d highly recommend her and the Achievers+ Programme.
