English Matters

Sumona has been instrumental in our son securing a place in MTS( it was our target school) and 4 other schools he applied for. He started with Sumona in spring term of year 4 - at that time he really struggled at creative writing. Sumona was very patient with him - firm and encouraging at the right time. She is very methodical and structured in her approach, and knows exactly what each school is looking for in their prospective students. She is always available to talk and feedback on the progress. Though 11 plus is a big focus , her approach equips the child with the necessary skills and tools to excel beyond 11 plus . We are so pleased to have found Sumona, and I will be back in a few years when my daughter will be prepping for 11 plus. Cant thank you enough Sumona!

Sumona has been a wonderful tutor, tailoring support to our child's specific needs. Our DD received offers for all the independent schools she applied for, including earning an academic scholarship.

I cannot thank Sumona enough for the fantastic support she has given to both my kids for their 11 plus English preparations. Both the kids have achieved their target schools and owe a lot to the coaching provided by Sumona. Most importantly my kids thoroughly enjoyed each and every session with her and have grown from strength to strength with their writing, comprehension skills and in general their love for the English language. It's been such an impactful journey that I continued their sessions even after the 11 plus exams. Her passion for the English language goes beyond the 11 prep syllabus and has positively inspired my kids to carry on with their pursuit to gain greater proficiency in the language independently. I have absolutely no hesitation is recommending Sumona to others for 11 plus English prep and beyond.

Sumona is an excellent teacher. She is able to identify strengths and weakness of her children to coach and support them towards their goals. My daughter did well in her 11 plus exams.(Independent and grammar schools) We really appreciate her help and support. Thank You.

My son started in year 6 with a focus on creative writing and reading comprehension which are very much required for 11+ exams. Within few weeks, he was able to analyse comprehension easily and able to elaborate answers in writing comprehension. Sumona helped him crack both Grammar and Independent schools 11+ exams with confidence. I really recommend Sumona as she provides much needed motivation and encouragement.
