What Our Customers Say

Our daughter gained huge confidence from the lessons and went on to pass the BRGS entrance exam. She enjoyed going each week and had fun at the same time as she was learning. I would highly recommend this tutoring service.

We have used Helen's services now for many years spanning two of our children. In both cases, I must highlight Helen has done a fantastic job. She offers a great service to the children to boost not only their confidence but an understanding of Maths and English.

Helen is a fantastic tutor, very friendly and approachable. My son has only joined Helen's group in the last few weeks and what an improvement it has been, not only in my son's school work but also his confidence. Thank you Helen.

I am so pleased with all the effort and hard work Helen has put into my son and I feel since being taught by Helen, he has come such a long way both academically and in his confidence. Helen’s online Zoom sessions have been outstanding and I will be sure to continue having both of my children taught by Helen for the foreseeable future.

I contacted Helen because my son was being let down at school and needed some motivation, challenge and support to sit the 11+. He thoroughly enjoyed the sessions, and finished each one feeling more confident and capable, with a reinvigorated sense of aspiration. Thank you Helen, the difference is immeasurable!

I can not recommend A-Star Tuition highly enough for anyone looking for extra support for their child with maths. The support and tutoring my son received from his math teacher, Aron, was superb. He is now in University feeling very confident and secure with his maths. Thank you so much for making it an easy process and enjoyable lessons.

I'm pleased I found A Star Tuition - my daughter has gained so much from the tutoring sessions in preparation for the BRGS exam. It's helped her confidence and academic performance. Helen really cares about what she does, is very organized and knowledgeable and my daughter has really responded to her style. I would definitely recommend you talking to Helen if you want extra support for your child's learning.
Katie PopeGoogle
Helen has been a fantastic support for Ava in her final year at high school. Ava was highly motivated and encouraged by Helen’s weekly sessions and has grown greatly in confidence with the extra support provided. Regular check-ins to discuss Ava’s progress were also very informative and supportive with Helen going the extra mile to support in any way she can and offer advice. We would highly recommend Helen and her sessions to others.
Nicol CarlsonGoogle
Our son worked with Helen to prepare for his 11+ exams and her lessons appeared enjoyable, engaging and well-structured. He felt confident about the exam on the day and we are very grateful to Helen for helping him to achieve such impressive results. Our younger son has now started lessons with Sarah in preparation for his year 2 SATS, he is enjoying the sessions and we are hoping his progress continues! We would absolutely recommend A Star Tuition.
James OldhamGoogle
Amazing tuition! Helen and Sarah have been amazing. My 10 year old had no idea about what verbal reasoning was, nor how to work it out. As it’s something they do not teach in school. Within 6 weeks she is now regularly testing with results at over 80%.
Kevin Maher
Helen has played an important part in helping my son achieve the goal he set himself of getting a BRGS place offer. She guided us through the 11+ exam process with the minimum amount of stress. Despite being much later than most to tuition, she helped us to understand what exactly to expect and provided further motivation for my son to put in the hard work required to catch up. Thank you!
Gemma Lievesley
I would highly recommend Helen at A Star Tuition Group. Both our children have worked with Helen to prepare for the 11+ exam and I am incredibly impressed with her structured and engaging online lessons. Our children have enjoyed learning with Helen and find her sessions fun, whilst at the same time, learning all the key elements of the 11+ exam. Helen is friendly, professional and an excellent teacher.
Marie Cowley
My daughter loved her tuition at A Star. She found it fun and really progressed during this time. Helen is clearly a very passionate and professional teacher. If you're looking for guidance for the 11 plus this is definitely the place to go!
Liz Anning
Our daughter loved attending the online tuition sessions, was excited to join and always came away happy. We were really pleased with how Helen prepared her for the exam, covering areas she'd never been taught at school, sharing exam technique and the importance of time management. Our daughter also made some real connections with the other students, despite it being online and hopes to remain friends......... Thank you!
