What parents and students say about StepUp Tutoring

Real experiences from families and students who have grown in confidence and achieved results they once thought were out of reach.

“I watched Miranda change from a child who panicked at any Maths problem to someone who now sits and tries before asking for help. Her confidence has completely transformed and she actually enjoys her lessons. I never thought I would say that.”

Confidence building and early numeracy support

“When we started the 11+ I felt completely lost. The calm teaching and clear structure helped Leo understand what to expect and how to improve. On the exam days he walked in smiling and he passed both tests. We are so proud of him and so grateful.”

Reasoning practice and exam readiness

“Riley struggled with reading and spelling for a long time because of his dyslexia. The patience and encouragement he received made such a difference. He is reading books on his own now and even brings home spelling tests with scores we never imagined. It has been life changing for him.”

Dyslexia friendly literacy support

“With triplets preparing for the 11+ I expected chaos. Instead each of my girls felt supported individually while still benefiting from learning together. The communication about each child’s progress was incredible and all three of them passed. I could not have asked for more.”

Group support with personalised feedback

“Ethan has always been bright but he found the pressure of entrance exams overwhelming. The tutoring helped him stay calm and focused and he learned how to approach the tougher reasoning questions. When he got his offer letter we all cried happy tears. I cannot thank you enough.”

Reasoning strategy and confidence development

“Sophie was very anxious about her Year Six SATs and avoided anything that looked like test work. The sessions were gentle but structured and she slowly started to believe that she could actually do well. She went into the exams feeling prepared and proud of herself. The change in her confidence has been amazing.”

Maths and English SATs preparation

“My son tended to give up quickly in Maths and felt embarrassed in class. Working with others at his level in a small group helped him feel supported rather than singled out. His attitude has completely shifted. He is trying again. That is the biggest win for us.”

Small group Maths confidence building

“I was really struggling in GCSE Maths and honestly thought I was going to fail. The intensive tutoring helped me finally understand the topics that always confused me. I worked harder than I ever have and I ended up getting a grade 5. I am so proud of myself.”

Intensive study support and exam practice

“Economics was the subject I enjoyed most but I could never seem to get it right in exams. The one to one lessons helped me understand how to structure answers and think like the examiner. I was predicted a B and I ended up achieving an A*. I still cannot believe it.”
