Leonora's Feedback

Leonora was a fantastic tutor for my son. She was extremely positive and enthusiastic and that helped to motivate him to work hard for her. She also used techniques that he could easily apply in exams. From my perspective she was accommodating and very organised. I’d thoroughly recommend her to others.

Leonora tutored our year 5 daughter for the secondary schools entrance exams. She had an excellent idea of what would be required as preparation and was quick to establish our daughters strengths and weaknesses.
She provided interesting and challenging lessons as well as advice on homework/ useful exercises to carry out between sessions. I would have absolutely no hesitancy in recommending Leonora as a tutor.

I am very happy to recommend a fabulous teacher and a very warm person, Leonora .
I couldn’t have asked for a better English tutor for my son. He is always happy to go to Leonora’s lessons and looking forward to it. Since first class Leonora had a very good contact with him, he can share all his ideas and he is sure that he will be heard and understood. Apart from working on exams material, my son enjoyed discussing books and writing stories. Leonora (writer herself) helped him a lot and by the time of exams he felt very secure and confident, especially considering that English is not his first language.
We are very grateful for her support and professionalism. Even under the pressure of the exams preparation, Leonora created such a supportive atmosphere that my son was happy to work hard.
He is homeschooled and was preparing for 11+ exams with Leonora for 6 months. He received offers to KGS, Claremont Fan Court and St.James schools.
He has requested to continue having lessons with Leonora after he has passed his exams. He is learning new things with Leonora and very excited about it.

Leonara did a fantastic job with my helping my child develop an enthusiasm for writing and really enjoy English. She had so much patience but with good energy and made the lessons fun and engaging. Would recommend highly!

She is a great teacher who is very calm and considerate.
My son and I enjoy the English class with her so much.
We`ve received enough feedback, and I want to recommend her to all students of various levels.
Leo is a lovely teacher. Thank you very much.

Leonora is an excellent English tutor. She is highly dedicated and has a good way of connecting with the children she teaches. She worked with my son and later with my daughter. They have now secured places in very academic senior schools with scholarships. Some of the greatest qualities Leonora has is her ability to tailor lessons accordingly. For example, the style of the 11+ exams this year was changing rapidly due to the pandemic, but she managed to adapt very quickly. She is gentle, kind, a good listener and genuinely cares. As someone who has experience working with kids, I knew immediately I met Leonora that my children were in the best possible hands. And I was right!

Leonora did a great job with our daughter, who is in year 9 secondary school. We had her once-weekly for a year, with the main goal for my daughter to improve/broaden her vocabulary (as her parents are non-native English speakers). However, my daughter gained much more from the lessons than just a broadening of her vocabulary. She understands and likes now the more complicated English literature books like "Pride and Prejudice" and improved a lot when it comes to comparing poems, writing letters, essays, etc. This all resulted in higher grades for English (moving to top set) and gaining a lot of confidence in writing. Leonora is very friendly, and my daughter enjoyed the lessons with her a lot. After each lesson, Leonora also gives some quick feedback which was really helpful. I would highly recommend Leonora.

Leonora did a fantastic job not just tutoring on English and Verbal Reasoning but also inspiring a love of literature! My daughter went from not liking reading to reading every night and Leonora was a big part of that! Thank you!
