Golnar My son, Nariman, took lessons with Jacqueline to prepare for the 11+ exam and improve his creative writing skills. When he first started, he needed significant support to reach the required level. Jacqueline, with her energy, kindness, and expertise, helped him make remarkable progress. After successfully passing the first stage of the exam, Jacqueline and Emma conducted two interview practice sessions with Nariman. Thanks to their guidance, he felt confident and composed during the actual interview. Nariman received offers from both Colfe’s School and Dulwich College, and he ultimately chose to attend Dulwich College. Our experience with Jacqueline and Emma has been outstanding. As a parent, I truly appreciate their dedication and support throughout this journey. They made the entire process not only effective but also enjoyable.

Casimir Dear Jacqueline, I wanted to let you know that I got a 9 in my English Language, so thank you so much for all the help you gave me!

Parent (Emma) You've given L some terrific advice and she has an excellent plan to revise for her poetry going forward. (GCSE)

Christie (Australia) Hi Jacqueline, I graduated high school yesterday! Thank you for everything you have done for me this past year Jacqueline. I will forever be grateful for your wisdom not just for Year 12 but for life! 

Ioana Jacqueline, The results went great! For English Literature I got a 9 and for English Language an 8. Thank you so much for your help. I really couldn’t have gotten here without you

Olga I would like to recommend Jacqueline both as the best English language teacher I have ever met and also as a very reliable and supportive person. We had a set of lessons with Jacqueline during the half term just before the English language GCSE exam, and I’m grateful for the exceptional attitude and guidance Jacqueline has provided for my son. My son achieved an 8. Thank you for professional services and inspiring my son before the exam.

Parent Emma flicked a switch for him in regard to English…. He gets to combine his intellect with his creativity and in creative mode he really enjoys what he’s doing and it shows.” (Yr9)

Parent It is fantastic how he developed his interest in English. Prior to tutoring he was scared of English but Emma managed to take that fear away and to encourage him, and teach him how wonderful the language can be.

Parent (Emma) It was great to get such positive feedback and did wonders for her confidence. (GCSE)

Parent (Emma) You’ve been excellent. We’re so glad we found you! (GCSE)

Parent Emma introduced M to a really interesting way of writing - it will be very helpful to her!

Parent J was graded outstanding for effort and above expected level for attainment. No doubt a reflection of Emma’s input!

Uma Jacqueline, thank you so much for everything you have done for Ganapathy. I know how hard he worked for both the written tests and the interview, and your support has been invaluable throughout. Before he started with you, he really struggled to finish reading passages in time, which often left him feeling discouraged. But thanks to your guidance, he’s made amazing progress, not just in reading but also in his writing skills. Beyond academics, your support has meant so much to both of us. It’s been a lot of pressure, and your patience, encouragement and advice, have really helped us navigate it all. I can’t thank you enough for your kindness and understanding. (Places confirmed at Highgate, Sevenoaks, Merchant Taylors, Belmont.

Parent He finished top of his year for the boys. I have seen him excel in English this year with a genuine enjoyment, which I believe Emma ignited. (11+ Forest scholarship)

Tatijana I wanted to share L's results with you—she received offers from Blackheath, Colfe’s, and Forest. We have decided to accept Forest.

I also want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for your dedication, hard work, and patience. L truly enjoyed learning with you, and your support made a significant difference in her progress. We are incredibly grateful Jacqueline for everything you’ve done.

Parent (Emma) She has an interview at Alleyn’s! Thanks for all your efforts. She made great progress in creative writing and more importantly, I think she is now enjoying it. (11+)

Parent Emma is the loveliest English tutor, she is great and B adores her.

Sonoe Today, we received the offer from Latymer School. Thank you so much for your support. We all think he could not get to this place without your help! Most importantly because Ao started to enjoy writing because of you.

Parent (Emma) It was a joy to see her lit up with excitement, both yesterday evening and when the papers dropped through our door today. So you were a big hit and I would love you to continue to work with us. (11+)

Parent Dear Emma, she really enjoyed her lessons with you which I know must mean that you’re a fantastic teacher because she’s not easily impressed!

Claire Jacqueline tutored my older daughter and younger son for competitive secondary school entrance exams. She was absolutely wonderful with both of them. She was supportive, caring but most of all really good fun. Both my children actually looked forward to her lessons.

She has a very good understanding of what is needed to pass, the processes to get there and she had excellent resources with countless past papers and tips. My son’s marks went from around 50% to high 70%. Both my children got into every school they applied to to with some surprising scholarships. 

Yasemin One of our friends introduced us to Jacqueline when two years ago my son was preparing for the 11+ exam. He was struggling with writing, lacked confidence and did not enjoy English at all nor did he like reading. Jacqueline, with her very positive attitude, managed to get him motivated over a short period of time and ensured that he enjoyed English. My son got a place at City of London for Boys and he now truly enjoys writing and reading. 

Parent Emma, Thank you for all the wonderful work you put in with B and E. They are both at Forest from 2025! Miss your energy. (7+, 11+)

Andrew Thomas’ outstanding achievements in gaining his academic scholarship into a top ten private school, Haberdashers' Aske's Boys' School, as well as scoring a remarkable 133/140 in his English entrance exam for arguably the top grammar school in the country, Queen Elizabeth's School, did not happen by chance. Indeed, much of his improvement in English was due to your positive influence and encouragement. Thank you so much once again, Jacqueline.

Parent She’s been rushing up to bed with her book - Emma really helped her to get into reading. (7+)

Parent Thank you, Emma, for all your passion and inspiration for A this term. He delights in seeing you every week and you fill him with joy and confidence in learning like no-one else can. Thank you! (Year 7)

Alison Jacqueline worked with my son to prepare him for the 10+ exam. She built on his natural abilities and brought out a new confidence. He looked forward to his sessions with her. She’s dedicated, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and kind and she also knows the ins and outs of the various exams which was really helpful as a parent. My son gained a scholarship at 10+ to City of London School for Boys.

Jenny I highly recommend Jacqueline. She is an excellent and very experienced tutor. She tutored my 10- year-old daughter in English literacy, and in just 5-6 months she improved immensely. My daughter started out not having the confidence to answer comprehension questions or writing well structured stories. In our first lesson, Jacqueline immediately understood the areas where my daughter required improvement, and from then on set appropriate exercises for her to complete every week. Jacqueline’s nurturing and encouraging teaching techniques lead my daughter to highly excel in her 11 plus exams in that she was offered a place at City of London Girls, James Allen Girls, Blackheath Girls High GDST, Godolphin and Latymer, and Francis Holland. Thank you so much Jacqueline for all your hard work and all the effort you made for my daughter. We are extremely thankful and lucky to have you as our tutor.

Amina Jacqueline is an outstanding 11+tutor who has encouraged my son in every situation.She was swift to  assess my child’s strengths and weaknesses and focussed on both to bring the best out of him.My son always looked forward to his lesson and came out smiling !! After six to seven months of tutoring my son passed the 11+ entrance for grammar schools as well as private school exams. Can’t recommend her highly enough!

Yumi We only had two sessions before the exams but it was very effective and gave us the necessary exam techniques. My son said it was very stimulating and the lesson was enjoyable and he hoped for another lesson. Jacqueline managed to bring out my son's strengths and praise him in effective way. He felt confident after only two sessions. We did home-tutoring, but with her, my son's attitude was completely different from home. Jacqueline gave us 11+ ideas which we didn't know about, provided us a with a lot of advice and knowing more reduced our stress.

Ashraf Jacqueline coached my first son to prepare for his 11+ exam. He looked forward to every lesson and at each session would always learn something new. Jacqueline has shown brilliant dedication to my son’s learning, more than I ever expected. She is creative, stimulating, demonstrates careful consideration and attention. Jacqueline also provides excellent feedback to ensure that effective learning continues at home. I was so delighted with Jacqueline’s qualities that my second son is now being tutored by her too.

Mary Jacqueline was recommended to me by a friend and I am so pleased I followed through and called. I was very apprehensive about tutoring but realised my daughter needed help with English, particularly in her written work, if she was to get through those competitive 11 plus exams. Jacqueline was absolutely brilliant. Not only is she extremely warm and encouraging, she is very considered and quick to identify strengths and weaknesses. Lessons worked on both aspects and were fun yet challenging. My daughter truly enjoyed them and never moaned about going. That one hour a week did wonders and we are very grateful. In the end she got offers from Blackheath High Girls School, Forest and St Edmunds College. I would definitely recommend her.

Julie My daughter really likes Jacqueline's way of inspiring her creative writing.  She could not stop thinking about her poem after the lesson and kept writing all the way home in a car. She won the award of creative writing in school for her passion in telling a story in a vivid way which is always encouraged by Jacqueline.  Jacqueline's experiences in theatre writing make her unique in developing kids' imaginative power and building up their confidence in expressing ideas. 

Lisa We would highly recommend Jaqueline as a tutor. Not only has she got an excellent command of all the subjects for eleven plus but she is incredibly motivational and very supportive of her students and their families. Jaqueline would never hesitate to reassure my son when he was feeling challenged and she would always offer us excellent practical advice on how we could support our child at home and throughout the process of the eleven plus. Throughout the year we saw our son's confidence and learning excel with Jaqueline’s help, enabling him to fulfil his potential of passing all his entrance exams and being offered a scholarship. In our son's own words, ‘I miss working with Jaqueline, she made learning fun, especially the writing’  Thank you for everything.

Katie Jacqueline did a fantastic job preparing our son for the 11+ exams. Her nurturing way of feeding his enthusiasm for the work helped him to improve and develop his original thinking. My son passed private school exams and received an academic scholarship from the school of his first choice. I highly recommend Jacqueline, she is very encouraging and produces great results.

Pippa Jacqueline is a fantastic tutor who not only helped prepare my daughter for her 11+ school entrance examinations but also inspired in her a love of writing. My daughter immediately felt comfortable working with her and benefitted enormously from her calm and friendly approach. I cannot recommend Jacqueline highly enough - for examination preparation and also for anyone who is simply wishes to improve and enjoy their own writing. My daughter achieved a full scholarship to the school of her choice. 

Sabrina Jacqueline has been amazing since I started 11+ tutoring for my daughter almost 2 years ago. Her strength, motivation and always so positive attitude helped my daughter get through a very difficult time and also myself. We were very happy when my daughter achieved places at her two sought after independent schools as well as grammar schools. I highly recommend her :)

Ghislaine Jacqueline was recommended to us by a friend to prep the English test for 10+ exam. Our son spent an hour per week with her between September 2014 and January 2015. He got a place in both City and Whitgift (with scholarship). Jacqueline has been a godsend for us as she has a great balance between nurturing / encouraging children and setting challenging and stretching tasks to ensure rapid progress. After an initial assessment of our son's level, she quickly established a programme of revisions customised to our son' s needs. Jacqueline is very dedicated, passionate about education, efficient and proactive. She has kept us informed of our son's progress on a weekly basis. She has supported us along this journey and always offered great advice. Beyond her very structured tuition of English, she also proved invaluable for preparing the interview and gave us great tips. Highly recommended!!
