Comprehensive assessment for any child/children thinking of sitting the 7+/8+/10+/11+ or 13+ exams - Comprehensive report for each subject/subjects desired - FREE 45-minute consultation

Great experience with Vishal. Kind, professional, and honest—he advised me to find a specialist since he couldn't meet my needs. Showing genuine integrity. I wish he worked in my field of expertise so I could continue with him.highly recommended!

Thank you so much for being so supportive and all knowledge you provided. It has been brilliant and highly recommended!

Vishal has been so supportive of our son. He has helped him gain confidence and taught him new methods in a very short space of time. He has always been available to me, answering any questions I have promptly. My son looks forward to each lesson, and hasn’t seen any as a chore. I would highly recommend Vishal, and would use him again for our other children.

Vishal has been fantastic in preparing our son for his 11+ Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning exams. We had another tutor and we hadn’t seen any progress in our son’s work. Thus we searched around and came across Vishal’s profile. We had a read of his numerous 5-star rating reviews and we were impressed. He went on to conduct an assessment and created a tailored plan for our son. He worked with us even though our timetable was ever-changing and was happy to accommodate lessons on our schedule. I think by him going through example questions from past exam papers that had a range of easy and harder VR and NVR questions was the turning point or ‘light bulb’ moment that parents often talk about! He grew in confidence week after week and we could see this from not only his attitude but willingness to complete any homework without being pushed. We were really really happy! We highly recommended Vishal and his ability to get the best out of each child.

Vishal tutored my daughter for her 11+ exams last year. We applied for St Paul’s Girls’ School, NLCS, City of London School for Girls and Godolphin and Latymer. Vishal took the time to get to know Ellie’s learning style and adapted his lessons accordingly - he pushed her when needed and eased off when needed in order not to affect her confidence. He provided feedback after the lessons and this was something that we valued and this gave us the confidence that progress was being made. Ellie did very well in her exams and passed them all and I am confident in saying that without Vishal’s support this would have been impossible. Overall we were very happy and even more so when we received the results. Ellie was offered a place at ALL the schools above! We chose St Paul’s Girls School (Ellie’s choice) and she is happy and enjoying her new school.

We approached Vishal to give our son some support for his Common Entrance exams. Our son benefitted from the lessons and we saw a level of desire to do well that we had not seen before! Vishal helped with the following Common Entrance exams: Maths, English and Science. He was engaging, supportive and explained things in a clear and simple way. To pass the exams at all five schools was a challenge and Vishal made the impossible actually POSSIBLE! We got offers from St Paul's, Westminster, Highgate and City of London. We couldn't have achieved this without Vishal. We are delighted!

Vishal was a wonderful teacher! His teaching style and emotional support for Harry over the SATs period was appreciated. His desire to inspire Harry and make him believe he could do well was a joy to see! This with the added structured lessons and step-by-step approach in both Maths and English was a recipe for success. He also provided an update on Harry's progress after each lesson. He scored 115 in his SATs. We were told that 120 was the highest any child can achieve and a score between 101-119 is well beyond what is expected. Highly recommended!

Vishal tutored Darren for GCSE English Language. He explained everything really clearly and had a wide range of resources/notes that he used alongside exam papers. We particularly liked the fact that he went through a range of different exam papers (some easy and some hard) and came up with a checklist on what each question should include. This was very important as Darren had been scoring very low marks in the questions that were 20 marks or more but Vishal’s methods meant he was able to consistently score in the 80-90% range from then on. He also set weekly tasks which improved my son’s essay writing skills and confidence and led to better results in his exams. He was patient, calm and always motivated to make a positive difference in Darren’s life. Would highly recommend Vishal if you want someone who cares and wants to inspire your son/daughter to get good results. NOTE: My son achieved a level 8 in GCSE English Language with Vishal’s support. Very happy!

We used Vishal to support my son with his 11+ exams. We saw our son progress week-by-week in 2 subjects (Maths and English). His English was particularly weak but Vishal brought him up to speed and provided a much-needed dose of confidence! Highly recommended. OUTCOME: My son excelled in all areas and secured an offer from King’s College School.

Vishal has helped my son with exam preparation for selective Independent and grammar schools such as Tiffins boys, Hampton Boys and St Paul’s. He is well organised and quickly assessed our sons ability to adapt lessons to his needs. We have seen great progress in speed, accuracy and getting our son to show his working out, which he was really reluctant to do. Vishal build a rapport quickly and our son really enjoys his lesson with him. We are very happy with the progress made so far!

My daughter received tuition from Vishal. for 4 months. Although bright, a rather obstinate child who often got the wrong end of the stick and worked at a slow pace. Vishal really helped turn things around. He began to motivate her and help her instil belief in herself. He really encouraged her to follow his style and methods, talk through and explain her solutions and reasoning. She slowly became eager and began to enjoy the challenges presented to her. Vishal .brought out the best in her. and helped her flourish in confidence. I would highly recommend him. Thank you Vishal.

Our child was moving from IB curriculum in Asia to UK in the middle of lockdown. Vishal brought him up to speed with major differences in approaching a timed exam, for Maths & Language. He eased the child into a routine, eventhough we felt 2 hrs sessions were really testing child’s concentration. Vishal taught him to look for cues and approach the question accordingly, filtering relevant information and saving time. In language comprehension, he managed to guide what is important information from additional information, which is a very tricky to achieve.

We found Vishal to be very focused and always keeping the target in sight.

Vishal is a wonderful tutor, calm, clear and interesting. His 2 hour sessions cover topics thoroughly and he always kept my son engaged in his learning.

Vishal is a very patient and insightful tutor. He went beyond what we expected of him in helping our son with his 7+ exams. He knew when to push my son to tackle challenging concepts yet knew when to ease off in order to keep our son motivated and confident. Our son was awarded a place at Westminster Under School, King’s College Junior School and Alleyn’s Junior School. We would recommend Vishal without any hesitation! An exceptional tutor!

I asked Vishal to prepare my son for the 11+ English (prose and creative writing) 4 months prior to the exams. The amount of work and effort he put into delivering lessons and doing everything he could for my son led to some great results. He was friendly and made it so that my son enjoyed the lessons and looked forward to the next lesson. He brought exam papers to the lessons and had a clear strategy in terms of what we needed to focus on from the first lesson onwards. He started teaching exam techniques from the first lesson and this really instilled a clear sense of what my son was expected to do in each and every exam paper. This is what my son really needed - how to structure his answers, what his answer needed to include and how to use ‘inference’ to answer the really tricky questions. Vishal instilled all 3 of the above in the space of 4 months and my son passed all the exams for which he sat. The independent schools he passed were as follows: Dulwich, Hamptons, City of London and St Paul’s! Vishal also helped build our son’s confidence - he gave him the belief that anything is possible.

Vishal has been tutoring my son for 7+ and I can see how much he’s developed in just a few months. He has been able to engage my son in the different learning topics and many that he hasn’t even covered at school yet!

GCSE Science: We appointed Vishal as our tutor after an initial discussion with him. We spoke about what we wanted from a tutor and he ticked all the boxes - knowledgeable, someone who would commit to teaching our son for a year or so and could break down difficult topics and explain things in a clear manner.

Vishal is someone who is encouraging, patient and knows how to get the best out of a child. We liked that he used exam practice papers and was always on hand to offer guidance for Maths/English too (ad-hoc lessons). Our son would always ask us when we were going to see Vishal next and that is something that we never expected!

His ability to motivate and instill a sense of belief has done wonders for our son. We highly recommend Vishal for anyone who needs help with their GCSE Science exams. Our son achieved a Level 9 for GCSE Science.

Vishal was fantastic in the lead-up to our daughter’s GCSE English exams. He offered us a complimentary call which we gladly accepted. He told us how he could help and what progress could be made before the exams. Clear and concise - something we really appreciated! He held an initial assessment, honed-in on the areas that our daughter was clearly lacking in and worked on those areas until she started understanding how to answer questions in the way that scored high marks. He used his own materials alongside GCSE English papers. All of this came to fruition and our daughter came away with a Level 7 grade in her final GCSE English exam. He was worth every penny we paid. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend Vishal. He was encouraging and gave our son a clear boost in confidence from the first lesson we booked. Before we contacted Vishal our son was predicted a Level 5. We asked Vishal to tutor William (our son) twice a week for 7 months leading up to his GCSE Maths exams. He managed to get a Level 8 when we got his results. He was polite, listened to William and worked on topic areas that we asked him to. His experience when it comes to exam-style questions was invaluable! He made such a big difference and I highly recommend him. FINAL COMMENT: Our son went from Level 5 to Level 8 for GCSE Maths.

Vishal is an outstanding tutor. His subject knowledge, organisation and encouragement helped our son prepare for his 11+ Maths exams. He helped him with the 11+ Maths exams for a few independent schools - Dulwich, City of London School for Boys, King’s and Hamptons. He brought his own materials and went through exam-style questions - this helped boost our son’s confidence. Our son also enjoys the lesson and is not something we would have ever expected! He is reliable, punctual and always responds to texts/emails. I would recommend him without hesitation!

We came to Vishal with the goal of getting our daughter into the schools that we looked at. Our top 3 were Lady Eleanor Holles, Latymer Prep and Haberdashers’ Aske’s School for Girls. He gave our daughter the confidence she needed and made lessons engaging. He worked with a very tight schedule and went out of his way to make sure Tillie was prepared for her exams. His personality and energy was a fantastic match for our daughter and we saw her confidence and knowledge grow. It was great to receive offers from all 3 schools - LEH, Latymer prep and Haberdashers’. I have recommended him to friends/colleagues that are applying for 7+ entry for their children.

Under Vishal’s guidance and support, our daughter worked her way towards grade 8 for GCSE Biology. We knew she had potential - however her confidence and focus was low, due to her school having several different biology teachers within the space of a year. Vishal covered the GCSE Biology syllabus and incorporated exam practice questions to build up her knowledge. We could see her confidence growing and we were happy. Her final GCSE grades included several 7’s and an 8 for Biology.

We knew from the onset that Vishal was the right tutor for our son. His positive aura and ability to build our son’s confidence from the first lesson onwards was terrific. After the first lesson, Oliver was keen to continue with Vishal as his tutor. We especially liked the fact that he went out of his way to find comprehension passages based on his interests. He enjoys castles, magic and oddly cats! Vishal found passages based on these topics and this immediately grabbed Oliver’s attention. He looked forward to both the Maths and English lessons and we saw progress at around week 4 when his report came in at the end of the term. Impressive for only 4 weeks of 4 classes with him. We were not expecting that level of progress but were happily surprised. Based on his progress we put him forward for the 7+ exams at Westminster, St Pauls and Hamptons. He passed all and now has a confirmed place at Westminster. We would strongly recommend Vishal to other parents whose children are sitting the 7+ exams.

Vishal is well organised and arrives to lessons with his own resources. We like the fact that he provides feedback after every lesson. He also sets homework each week that helps to practice what is done in class. We particularly like the fact that he is reliable and has never missed a lesson. He even called me to wish my son 'good luck' the day prior to the exam and followed up with how the exam went a few days later. A really nice human being apart from being a great tutor! We recommend Vishal to all our friends, especially those children who are preparing for the 11+ and 13+ exams.

It is easy to find a tutor who can teach, but it is difficult to find a tutor who can inspire and motivate and this was what made Vishal stand out from other tutors we interviewed. He is highly passionate and knows how to teach according to the student's pace. We used him for the King’s 11+ exam and City of London 11+ exam and our son went on to pass both exams. We are certain that without his help our son would have not been at the level that King’s would have expected. This was even confirmed by our prep school and as a matter of fact our prep school have even asked Vishal for some additional advice and guidance when it comes to supporting kids with their 11+ exams. This is a testament to his ability to teach and help children in passing their exams. Highly recommended!

He is the most encouraging tutor that we have ever had. My son found him to be calm, patient and enthusiastic and this has allowed him to flourish and enjoy the weekly lessons. My son was predicted a Level 4 for his GCSE English Language exam but he achieved a Level 8 for the exams he sat last Summer. He has been accepted into his college of choice and we are proud parents to see him achieve such a high grade! (PS. We were expecting a Level 6, thus a Level 8 is a fantastic achievement in our eyes)

We were recommended to Vishal by one of our friends. He had coached our friend’s son and he was offered a place at Dulwich Boys. We had Dulwich, City of London and Hamptons in mind and requested Vishal to prepare our son. We applauded the fact that he tailored the lessons according to what we required and he shared a range of exam papers. He went through different types and styles of exam questions and we believe this really helped our son (Harry) excel. He also helped with building Harry's confidence and this helped at the interview stage. We were grateful to receive offers from Hamptons, Dulwich and City of London.

My child was weak in English (around the 50% mark at school) but with the many practice questions and tactics from Vishal, we were delighted to receive a letter from St Paul’s that the scores were good enough for the next stage of entry process! This is such a competitive school to get in to so the English scores definitely had to be a minimum 70% and this was achieved only that’s to Vishal’s teaching in just 10 lessons!! Fantastic teacher with plenty of resources of his own who is highly recommended

We were told by the school that our son's English skills would not be good enough for Latymer Upper and Westminster, King's. The key areas in which he needed a boost: comprehension and creative writing piece. We contacted Vishal and he assessed our son in the first lesson and gave us clear feedback. We booked lessons and with just a few hours he was able to work on 'inference' (vital for the 11+ English exams) and understanding how to answer questions with the level of detail needed. We were impressed, especially as within 7-8 weeks our son had moved up to the top set at his school. We highly recommend Vishal.

Vishal prepared our son for the Westminster (16+) entrance exams for a period of just under 5 months. He worked through a range of subjects (Maths, Chemistry & Physics). He also supported with the interview stage. His in-depth knowledge & insight helped our son navigate the exam papers and how to answers questions in a sufficient and timely manner. Not the cheapest tutor out there, but as they say buy cheap, buy twice! My son received an offer from Westminster and we accepted.

I am glad to say that my son was offered a place at Eton. Vishal’s ability to teach and inspire at the same time was commendable. He provided us with a step by step breakdown of the topic areas to focus on for Eton and was always there when we had a question or two or more! As well as teaching Thomas, he instilled a sense of belief and confidence in him, so much so that he aced the exams and interview. He never let us down, i.e. he saw us weekly and never missed a lesson. This continuity really helped bring some momentum in preparation for the exams and Thomas looked forward to the weekly lessons. My son is now thriving at Eton and loves the challenge that every day brings! He is now a confident boy with the potential to do whatever he wants in life and Vishal played a big part in this.

Vishal explained me my Business syllabus (Cambridge international) really good. As an international student it was hard for me to understand some concepts in the syllabus but he explained them to me in a way that looked easy!

I would Highly recommend Vishal as a tutor, he has helped my son catch up on the year 10 Physics curriculum. He has also given him a lot of helpful advise on how to go through an exam with certain techniques.

Vishal is a brilliant tutor. He is encouraging and committed to making sure my son (Dean) keeps on top of his work. He has changed my son’s thinking and attitude from being ‘lazy and demotivated’ to being ‘passionate and eager to learn’ in GCSE Science. He explains things in a concise manner that makes it easier for my son to understand. Before Vishal’s help, my son was achieving a grade 5. This has made it easier for Dean to progress and has been consistently achieving grade 6 in his topic tests over the last few months.

I recommend Vishal to anyone who requires assistance with GCSE Business Studies. He helped son prepare for his exams. He covered all the content from the syllabus and then focused on exam practice questions. His deep understanding of the subject helped, as well as being patient and encouraging. My son was predicted a 6, but with Vishal’s help he achieved an 8.

Vishal is helping my Rohan (my son) with the interview element of the 13+ process. Very professional and understanding and with his interview techniques he has allowed Rohan to come out of his shell. He feels happy with the ongoing lessons and is confident now!

Vishal helped our daughter prepare for St Paul’s Girls' School and Putney. He was professional, never missed a lesson, organised and was a pleasure to work with over the last year. Kaitlyn still asks about you and we as a family will never forget how you helped us when we were in a pickle. I would recommend him without hesitation.

We contacted Vishal with the aim of assisting Henry with his GCSE Edexcel Chemistry exams, since his grades had dropped dramatically. I think this was due to the change of teacher at school. Vishal is not the cheapest tutor out there, but we decided to undertake a trial lesson. From the onset we realised Vishal was the right tutor for our son. His fees reflect his dedication to teaching and being there for you whenever you need – at 9am in the morning or 9pm at night. He is reliable, understands the syllabus well and developed a good rapport with Henry. Not easy – especially as our son doesn’t enjoy Chemistry very much! Since we saw an improvement in his Chemistry grades, we kindly asked him to help him bolster Henry’s Physics grades too.

Fantastic tutor who helped my son gain entrance into St Paul’s Boys, King’s College and Latymer Upper. He was polite and knowledgeable about the admissions process and offered support whenever required! He cares about helping you and I genuinely feel that the positive affect of his teaching style has led to my son passing his 11+ exams. Highly recommended!

Vishal is refreshingly passionate and knowledge when it comes to teaching GCSE Maths. This came across in the trial lesson he offered. He is a great communicator who works hard to understand the needs of his students. All emails are responded to promptly. He has excellent communication skills and has improved my son’s confidence going into his mock GCSE Maths exam. My son also likes Vishal and I think that is a really important part of being a good tutor. He is a good mentor and someone we are grateful to have to support our child moving into Year 11 and beyond.

We tasked Vishal with the aim of getting our son through the 11+ exams. Our choices of schools: St Paul’s, Westminster or Dulwich. Our son was attending a reputable private school, but was not doing as well as expected. His Maths and English were to a good standard, but not to the level we knew that would be needed for our choices of schools. Vishal conducted an assessment the first lesson and told us what the next few months would involve. He was clear and always happy to answer any questions. His honesty and the fact that he was straight forward meant we continued with him up until James sat his exams. He was patient and built up James’ confidence as the weeks went by. Our son passed all the entrance his exams and there is no doubt this was due to Vishal’s ability to teach effectively and encourage James to believe in himself. Thank you Vishal.

Thank you so much for helping my son.

We have not had anyone who has put as much work ahead of time before the class or shown as much enthusiasm during the sessions as Vishal did. He has a great way of explaining and can make the dullest of topics seem interesting. I believe this is why my son enjoyed his lessons and ended up with a grade 8 for GCSE Physics.

I am really happy with how Vishal worked with my son over the last year or so. He provided insights into what examiners look for when marking 13+ exam scripts. He was inspiring, provided excellent subject knowledge and was flexible when we needed extra lessons. Not only did he prepare my son for the exam, but he instilled confidence and provided him with interview skills such as team work, eye contact, leadership etc. I would be very happy to recommend Vishal to others and I can gladly provide written references.

Vishal prepared our daughter for entry examinations to a number of private schools. He taught our daughter Maths, Verbal reasoning, Non-verbal reasoning and English for eleven months on a weekly basis (2 hours per week). My daughter was especially weak in Maths and English, having never developed a strong foundation in either of these subjects. She was also demotivated. Vishal was organised and planned the eleven months very efficiently. He covered all subjects and spent a few weeks at the end for exam practice. My daughter started to show dramatic improvement in her Maths and English and was much happier with her academic life. I am confident that this was because Vishal was patient, friendly and a great role model. My daughter achieved high marks in the ISEB and was offered a place at several schools. We were delighted to hear that our daughter passed the exams and was offered a place at Henrietta Barnett. This was our first choice. I highly recommend Vishal.

Vishal has been tutoring my son for the last 5 months and he is preparing him for the 11+ exams for entry into Wilson Boys and Trinity. He is patient and very clear when giving guidance. Most importantly, he is very encouraging and my son is now much more confident going into his exam.

Our son is being tutored by Vishal for 11+ in English. Our son genuinely looks forward to his lesson. Vishal has made a noticeable difference to our son's performance in creative writing and comprehension. The lessons are engaging and challenging. Vishal is always on time, courteous and polite. Highly recommended!

I am giving Vishal 5 * due to his punctuality, tutoring skills, professionalism and his interest in my son's progress. He is the only tutor we found that teaches GCSE Maths and English. I would absolutely recommend Vishal as your child's tutor if you are looking for one. My son enjoyed his lessons and made significant improvements and achieved an A* in Maths and A* in English. We are happy and we have now asked Vishal to tutor our youngest son (Year 9).

We were looking for a Science tutor who could help our son with all 3 Science subjects (Biology, Chemistry and Physics). We came across a few tutors, but decided to choose Vishal due to his experience of tutoring students and improving their grades within a short time period. He was also different to other tutors, in that he provided feedback to us on my son's progress after every session and provided homework thus enhancing my son's learning. Not many tutors take the time to provide feedback and the fact that he wouldn't just stand up and leave after the 2 hour session (as some tutors do) and instead would spend time answering any questions and providing feedback, meant that we felt comfortable with his approach to teaching. I am immensely grateful for his help!

I have been having lessons with Vishal for the last 9 months. He helped build me build my confidence in English prior to taking my GCSEs. He worked on the set texts, poems and practice exam questions and was thorough. He was patient, as he didn't mind explaining things to me more than once, as it sometimes takes me a while to understand subject terminology (e.g personification, alliteration, metaphors, similes etc) that I know is so important to getting a good grade.

Vishal tutored my daughter from September 2016 until June 2017 and covered both GCSE English Language and English Literature with my daughter.

We ended up choosing Vishal because he was clear from the outset - he told us what level our daughter was at, where she should be at for her age and put together a plan to make sure she achieved her true potential. We were expecting our daughter to achieve 2 B's as a minimum.

To find out on results day that she achieved an A in both English Language and English Literature was a welcome surprise. If you are looking for a professional tutor with the ability to motivate, teach and ultimately improve your child's grades, then Vishal is THE tutor for you.

Vishal immediately noticed that my 16 year old son was well prepared knowledge wise for his GCSE Maths exam, but that he was approaching the questions incorrectly and the structure of his answers meant that he was not getting the grades that he expected. In just 3 tutoring lessons, my son was achieving A grades in his practice papers (whereas before he was achieving a B grade). I can't thank Vishal enough for his ability to help my son improve his exam technique.

I highly recommend Vishal to anybody looking for a high quality tutor to help with GCSE Science (Biology, Chemistry and Physics). He is currently helping me study for my GCSEs. We started in November 2017, and I have been able to learn quicker and more efficiently than before. This is because he uses methods which are simple and easy to understand, rather than overwhelming me with too much information. He has helped me to look at exam questions, pick out key information and answer the question so that I can get the maximum marks available.

Vishal has been tutoring my daughter since 2015 and is currently preparing her for the mock GCSE English exams that my daughter will sit next week and the real GCSE exams that Lucy will take in May later this year.

His ability to explain things in different ways and the exam tips he has given to my daughter are worthwhile. My daughter’s grade have gone up drastically with her going up 2 levels as of November 2017. I will continue tutoring session with Vishal throughout the year leading to the GCSE English exams.

Keval was struggling with his Maths, English and non-verbal reasoning. These were the main exams that he would have to take in order to gain admittance into our choice of grammar school (Wallington Boys, Wilson's and Whitgift).

We knew the competition was fierce for these schools, but decided to go ahead with tuition session with Vishal due to his exceptionally high pass rates for his 11+ students. Within the first session, we knew we had picked the perfect tutor for our son. Not only was Vishal patient, but his ability to make the lesson interesting and engage with our son, meant that Keval actually looked forward to his lessons with Vishal on a weekly basis. We have never had a tutor who went the extra mile and goes beyond what is expected, but this changed when Vishal arrived. He doesn’t just get up and leave after the session is up. He is happy to provide feedback and explain what was taught in the lesson and what Keval still needs to work on moving forward. In the end, Keval gained admittance to all 3 grammar schools of our choice and we picked Wallington Boys as our choice.

I would not hesitate to recommend Vishal for any children who are going for their 11+ exams.

Lucy got an A in her GCSE Maths exams with Vishal’s tutoring. He was very methodical and was happy to explains concepts in different ways in order for my daughter to fully understand the content. His patience and sound exam advice from the first lesson onwards helped Lucy achieve the A grade that she wanted.
