Parent Testimonials
EXCELLENT Based on 21 reviews Posted on Google Sri RekhaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you for helping my son with his English and Maths. Your support, patience, and encouragement have really helped him improve and grow in confidence. We truly appreciate your dedication and hard work.Posted on Google Jyoti Arora GuptaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son had undiagnosed special needs and due to his behaviour some tutors rejected to teach him. He felt disheartened and lost his confidence. However, I am very thankful to Rakesh who not only supported us, but believed in him and encouraged him to try his best. Without any additional support, considerations, medications, therapy etc, he managed to clear the first exam of his life 11+. This would surely help him through out his life. Thank you.Posted on Google Jessy AbrahamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very friendly environment for students and Amazing results! Highly recommend!Posted on Google dr manish guptaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Exceptional Tutor – Highly Recommended! We cannot thank Rakesh enough for the incredible support he provided to both our daughter and son during their Year 5 preparation for the 11+ exams. Thanks to his dedicated guidance, our daughter successfully cleared the exam for Lancaster Girls' Grammar School, and our son cleared it for Lancaster Royal Grammar School! While he was fantastic with both children, we are especially grateful for how he managed our son. At the start, our son was much more interested in playing than focusing on his studies. Rakesh showed immense patience, finding the perfect way to motivate and encourage him. He completely transformed our son’s attitude toward learning, building his confidence and keeping him focused right up until exam day. If you are looking for a tutor who not only teaches the material but genuinely understands, encourages, and inspires children, we highly recommend Rakesh.Posted on Google Preeti ParmarTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rakeshbhai has been an amazing tutor for both of my daughters. My daughter lacked confidence in Maths & his tutoring really helped my daughter & raised her grades by 3 grades. Definitely recommend.Posted on Google Sonia BashirTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

A very professional online coaching center with a well-structured curriculum. Since joining the remote sessions, my son's progress has been visible and consistent. It is a fantastic resource for 11+ preparation. It’s been a great fit for his 2026 Rugby Grammar school prep. Being able to oversee his development from home is a huge plus. Highly recommended!"Posted on Google Dhaval VaidyaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

My son attends remote lessons for English ,maths, verbal and non verbal reasoning, and I am very happy with the service provided. He finds the sessions extremely helpful and says the explanations are excellent, making even tedious topics much easier to understand.
