Sep 17,2024My son began lessons with Ash at the start of Year 5, and he gained invaluable exam skills, including strategies for tackling questions and managing exam time effectively etc. Following guidance from Ash, we worked through the key test books for 11+/13+, something we wouldn’t have been able to accomplish without Ash's support. Thanks to this, my son received offers from top boarding schools like Eton, Harrow, Radley, and Wellington, as well as St. Paul’s, a leading day school, and Tiffin Boys, a top grammar school. I highly recommend Ash.

Sep 02,2024Thank you Ash for all the support and guidance throughout the 11 plus journey. As a parent it was very hard to figure out how to approach as it is way above me. Just knowing the concepts isn't enough, specially if anyone is going for super selective Grammar and Private schools as each of those exams are quite different from each other. Ash provides his own test papers based on schools which is very helpful. At home my daughter followed the homework and I just kept an eye on them. It is very helpful if you are working and do not have time to research etc. During the exam days he had provided additional guidance to my daughter as to how to approach those exams. He also gives pep talk and motivates children before exams in class in a fun and casual way ( which nowadays children likes to listen to).My daughter has passed exams for Tiffins, Non such, Wallington ,LEH, Notting Hills and Latymer Upper School. My daughter today has started her secondary school in Latymer Upper School. Again I had to reach out to Ash to help me in making the right decision. We were very confused whether Grammar School or Private and I knew talking to one person will help as he provides very frank feedback ( you may or may not like it but its the truth). I am very happy with the decision we made in the end. Thanks Ash for your time I did bother you lot of questions.

Mar 06,2024Ash had been a great tutor for my son to clear his 11+ hurdle and he got into his top priority school - QE. Ash had made sure the 11+ class does not need to be pressured and made kids to learn in a lighter environment.

Mar 04,2024Our 11+ journey has reached its conclusion, and I am delighted to share that my son has successfully gained admission to St. Olaves. I want to express my wholehearted recommendation for Ash to parents who are seeking an 11+ tutor for their child. Ash is an exceptionally organized and efficient tutor, embodying a no-nonsense teaching style that avoids unnecessary time wastage. His meticulous preparation for online lessons, mock tests, and homework ensures a well-structured 11+ program. Ash's approach to teaching is highly effective, particularly in mathematics. He imparts the right techniques for exam success, preventing any unnecessary time wastage. The classes are engaging, preventing students from becoming bored and fostering a positive learning environment. Ash has truly excelled in training children with the right approach, and my son always looked forward to his classes with enthusiasm. Ultimately, achieving success in the 11+ is a collaborative effort between the child, the tutor, and the parents. I extend my best wishes to all parents embarking on this journey. Good luck to everyone!

Mar 02,2024HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !! We couldn't be more pleased with the invaluable support and guidance provided by Ash to my daughter. We only took the tuitions for 8 months and before that we were unaware of how to even prepare for a grammar test. Ash provided all the material to prepare us and within 8 months of tuitions with him, my daughter not only passed the 11+ but also secured a place in Invicta Grammar School. Thank you so much Ash.

May 03,2023I am sure all the parents would agree that the 11 plus journey is long and certainly not the easiest! We are very fortunate to have had Ash guiding us all the way during the past two years! My son has passed all the exams he has taken including Kent, Bexley and St Olaves and now has accepted an offer from out first choice, St Olaves. We are absolutely over the moon! Very proud! My son started the 11+ tutoring with Ash when he was in Year 4. As it was during Covid, the classes were taught remotely. At the beginning I was unsure if that would be the best way. However my son really loved Ash’s online lessons and he said he actually preferred online lessons. Ash used multiple digital platforms for lessons, parental communications and online assessments, which are all highly effective! Even though as a parent, I was not able to be present in the lessons, I had nothing to worry about. The incredible progress my son has made was evident with his increased confidence in all subjects and the fantastic results from the regular assessments. In my opinion, what makes Ash a fantastic tutor is that he sets high expectations and also sets the right level of challenge for the children. He really pushes the children to achieve their maximum potential. My son has learnt so much from him and has really enjoyed being challenged! After passing the first stage St Olaves entry exam, my son started the master class, which was focused on the St Olaves stage 2 exam and independent school entry exams. This master class was definitely a step-up. As a teacher myself, I had to think about some of the questions! My son said the masterclass was his favourite because it was fun and challenging! He even insisted continuing with the lessons while we were on holiday abroad! He really missed the master class after it was finished! Ash has always been a great communicator. He was available to answer any queries and especially when we were unsure about what schools to put on the list for the application. Even until now, Ash still offers support and advice for my son and he said his door is open until GCSE! What a wonderful teacher he is! We can’t thank Ash enough for all his hard work, commitment, outstanding teaching and fantastic support he has given us during the past two years! We highly recommend Ash for 11 plus! Thank you Ash for everything!

Apr 28,2023A fantastic tutor! He is very good at tutoring and prices are a good value for money. My child passed St Olave’s grammar school because of him. I strongly recommend this tuition to you.

Apr 16,2023Ash is very professional and methodical. He keeps the child’s attention. He gives in-depth understanding of the questions and increases the child’s speed by teaching the technique required for the questions. He is very helpful and his knowledge of grammar/private school entry requirements is tremendous. His mock exams are excellent. Our son enjoyed his lessons. He is so proud that he secured a place at St Olave’s Grammar School.

Mar 21,2023I am very happy to provide feedback to Ash Sir! No doubt, he is master in his profession. The way, he explains the concepts and kids enjoy his class, is very interesting. Although he never allows parents to present in class (online) but I always heard my daughter laughing and enjoying the class is always best part. His material is one of the best part and he shared practice papers frequently which pushed kids to do practice regularly. He always connect with parents and discussed weak areas not only specific kids but as overall class so as parents can also focus on weak areas of kids. I found him flexible and strict both at the same time which I can understand as a person from teacher’s family background but difficult to understand who are bit anxious. Yes he is very particular about fees, a very quite study environment which I support due to online classes. Kids get distracted very easily so it is must to have a supportive environment. My daughter cleared all 11+ exams wherever she appeared and North London Collegiate School (NLCS) too. Thanks Ash sir for your guidance and efforts!

Mar 12,2023Ash is an amazing and experienced 11+ tutor. My son had been with him since Year 4 and he likes Ash and enjoyed every classes. Ash's class is well structured, his materials are very good and his mock exams are excellent! My son got his first choice St Olaves, Wilson's offer and even academic scholarships from Eltham College. Thank you so much for the support!

Mar 11,2023Signing up with Ash was absolutely the right thing for my son. He needed the extra challenge and enjoyed working to improve his ranking. Can’t rate Ash enough - pace, diligence and competition! Perfect for the 11+ prep. I wish schools had a bit more of the Ash spirit!

Oct 12,2024We recently received the wonderful news that our son has passed the Bexley 11+ exam, which was our target area, and we owe a great deal of thanks to Ash from Ace Tuition for helping us achieve this. Having had a less-than-satisfactory experience with a previous tutor for our daughter, where we felt the service didn’t live up to expectations, it was refreshing to work with someone as professional and results-oriented as Ash. He truly delivers what he promises. His tailored advice, specifically aimed at the Bexley 11+, and the time he spent speaking directly to our son, Arjan, about the skills required made a significant difference. The 11+ process is not easy, but Ash’s structured approach, consistent monthly testing, and ranking system kept us on track. The mock exams are first-class and provided a valuable measure of progress. While there are cheaper tutors available, we genuinely feel that the value we received was worth every penny, as the result speaks for itself. Ash’s honesty and experience stand out—he gave us realistic guidance on which schools to target based on his understanding of our son's capabilities. He’s also local, and supporting local businesses is something we believe in, especially when they deliver excellent service. If you are looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and honest 11+ tutor, I highly recommend Ash and Ace Tuition. PS – follow the rules. Buy an ethernet cable no matter how good your connection is … and be warned this is a test for the whole family not just the child!
