We found Sheena to be a brilliant tutor for our son. She guided him in English for his 11 plus entrance exams. She was very focused and helped my son gain confidence. Like most boys, my son used to avoid spending time on English, although he did his Maths with enthusiasm. Sheena made English fun and made him approach his comprehensions and cloze exercises with a new verve and direction.
I would definitely recommend Sheena to any parent who is looking for the right help for English in 11 plus. I wish her the best and thank her for being a great support on the arduous 11 plus journey!

Sheena, was a great tutor for me and was extremely helpful in every way. I was taking my GCSE’s in English and it was amazing to be taught by her, she who knew the content inside out and also knew how to teach me the structure that I needed. It was a great experience to be taught by Sheena as she was not only kind and welcoming but also helped me to achieve the best.

Sheena took my sons ability from good to excellent. Very structured in her approach to helping someone reach their target and extremely organised with an array of appropriate materials. Sheena adopts a friendly but strict approach and provided detailed feedback after each session. My son took his secondary entrance exams after 8 months with Sheena and we are very pleased with the outcome. I have no doubt we will be using Sheena again for our older child as Sheena covers the whole English curriculum from KS2 through to A-levels and beyond possibly.

It was great learning English from Sheena in my preparation for 11+ exams, passed both stages of SET in Sutton, will recommend anyone preparing for 11+ exams to have lessons. She is very knowledgeable, kind, teaching style is very helpful and excellent tips to improve performance in grammar entrance tests.

My daughter has always struggled academically at school. Several months before her GCSE’s she agreed to visit Sheena for tutoring, especially knowing the fact that her recent school assessment grades were a 2. My daughter attended weekly sessions with Sheena for no more than 4 months and all I can say is her GCSE results in English were 1 off a 5 in English lit and a 4 in English language. This was such a turn around in a short space of time which shows how much input/effect Sheena had on her learning and writing skills. Can’t thank Sheena enough .

Sheena tutored my son for the 11+ grammar school entry and then independent schools. Sheena's honesty was a characteristic that I appreciated greatly, especially at the early stages of our relationship. Sheena was able to give me and my son a clear sense of where he was academically, his potential and what was required for him to get there. Sheena is a very passionate teacher and she has a clear structure for all lessons, continuously building previous learning, so that my son developed incrementally. At times when my son found the learning experience challenging, Sheena was able to manage both our anxieties and this was very helpful for him to give him the motivation to continue.
Sheena always gave very clear instructions for the learning required in between her lessons. It is important for parents and the child to play their part, in order to get the most out of the tutoring experience. It would be naïve to believe that Sheena can support your child without your help. My son benefitted from Sheena pushing him appropriately and being firm. We worked well together and again this helped my son to appreciate the importance of taking his education seriously and becoming more responsible and independent. He was aware that we both believed he was capable and this helped at times if his confidence ebbed.
For the exams my son did not face any questions or concepts that he did not know. Everything that Sheena had taught him, he was able to apply in the exams. He took the learning on and applied it well. We are pleased that he has a very good offer from an independent school and I know he would not have achieved what he did without Sheena's intervention. I would recommend her highly but please be mindful that as a parent you must play your part!
When I asked my son he said the following:
"Sheena wants you to so your best and give 100% and she is very passionate. Sheena is kind and welcoming. I learnt that if you work hard, you can always achieve".

It's been a wonderful experience for Pranay with Sheena. She has been such a positive influence on my son that he started feeling bad if he missed her expectation of every assessment during the course of his tutoring and started working towards improvement. Her individual attention and clearly articulating the improvement areas after each session were very helpful to focus as parents.
She came across more as a friend than a tutor and I couldn't ask for more when her son also joined the sessions. My son was looking forward to every session and that not only improved his vocabulary but also coherent creative writing.
The special summer session helped for the last push before the tests and improved his competitiveness.
We wish we enrolled him earlier but no qualms as we got the best result helping my son clear multiple county tests.
I highly recommend her for all future students.

From my first call to Sheena i felt very confident that she is the right choice for Vili. It is hard to be good tutor but even harder when your child is not doing very well. Sheena was very honest with the progress he made and was pushing Vili up to his limits all the time. She is a fantastic tutor. Vili improved a lot at school and now even in his secondary school he is benefiting from all he learned from Sheena.
Sheena is well organised and very reliable.
Huge thank you for all your support.

Sheena has tutored my daughter for last couple of years. She is very well organised and an excellent teacher. Sheena has always reassured us and guided my daughter in the correct direction on how to improve her comprehension, vocabulary, grammar and writing. Sheena is always approachable and gives detailed feedback after each session. Her nurturing and caring skills are highly commendable. She is a great guide for student, as well as parent.
My daughter has improved significantly, especially she started enjoying the subject more and always looked forward to her session. Sheena has boosted her confidence and helped her secure a place in the independent school of our choice.
I highly recommend her as a tutor.

I was really worried about my daughter who was in year 5 and really behind, a random event led to me finding Sheena and what a wonderful and excellent teacher, she guided us, reassured us, boosted zaynas confidence, and taught her brilliantly! She is amazing at her subject and taught her even the tiniest nuanced English techniques, and ultimately got her into the private school we wanted. I wish I had found her sooner, what a warm, lovely person and excellent teacher,
