Testimonials
"The personal attention, flexibility and yet sticking to the plan and the goal were indispensable features of their work and relationship with our family."
“Emily had the right balance of skills to guide our son through his 11+ preparation. She wraps the discipline and pressure needed in a warm, engaging and cheerful atmosphere, turning a chore into a tough but pleasant experience for her charge. Her deep experience allows her to adjust expertly to the pupil’s level and personality. She has a vast library of source material and stays abreast of changes in schools’ requirements. Solid, reliable. Highly valuable.”

“Emily at Ascent Tutors helped my daughter with 11+ English work and instilled happy confidence in her while much improving her approach to creative writing and comprehension. My daughter enjoyed her time with Emily and it gave her a secure springboard from which to approach preparation for the 11+ exams. Emily was thoroughly reliable in attending when and where agreed, excellent at communicating her assessment of my daughter’s progress and generally just in tune with both of us. Highly recommended.”

Emily communicates efficiently and effectively with her students and so is able to inspire them to learn. She sets challenges so that her students can achieve their potential. She is also a good listener and provides a supporting environment for her students. Emily is an accessible and caring tutor and our daughters look forward to their English lessons.”

“We were fortunate enough to use Ascent Tutors for our son in 2012. Our tutor had a positive attitude and always made the lessons fun – even though creative writing was not his favourite subject! The tutor was very knowledgeable and helped our son get offers from Kings College Wimbledon and Latymer Prep. I highly recommend them!”

“To have someone like Emily find the perfect match between your son/daughter and a great tutor is exactly what a parent would wish for. Her secret is to ask all the right questions and to understand the answers you give. Emily is inquisitive, her process is fast, efficient and thorough. Her work ethic is outstanding to match families and tutors, where all of them are very happy with the outcome. Emily can perform her phenomenal professional talent also abroad, as I live in Rome, Italy, so wherever you are she has a solution for you.”

Emily is a great professional tutor who knows her job and the school exams really well. Thanks to her experience she also knows exactly what is expected of children in many different London schools. What I appreciated the most in Emily as a mom is the great support she provides in stressful moments and once she has taken a child on board she does not let him and his parents down. This is priceless.

Emily has been great at helping my son prepare for the 11 plus. In just a few sessions of tutoring via Skype, Ascent Tutors have dramatically improved my son’s creative writing skills and understanding of how to get additional marks in a comprehension. Emily has been amazing at correcting and appraising additional work via her online service whilst we were on holiday abroad. She has a useful knowledge of different school’s examinations, is reliable and knows her job really well, I cannot recommend her enough.

My daughter having recently transited to the British schooling system, has found the perfect guidance and support from Ascent. In a short period of time she has adapted to this new environment and is thriving thanks to the skills set that she is developing with Emily: method and technique, confidence, patience and perseverance. We are delighted that Ascent have ensured this smooth transition though their professionalism and dedication!
