Ash is an excellent teacher

Ash is an excellent teacher. My daughter loves getting taught by him because of his unique way of explaining things. We were recommended to go to him by one of our friend whose twin daughters made it to the grammar school of their choice. Believe that we made right decision for our journey to 11+.

Ash is a great teacher!

Ash is a great teacher! My daughter loves his way of teaching. She said he taught in a fun and humorous way. She has been making good progress in the 11+ preparation with the Ace's help. Parents need to spend time in helping the children too.

Ace 11+ Tuition brings rigor and discipline to the preparation

Ace brings a wealth of experience to the 11+ coaching process, having successfully coached several batches of students who have secured admissions in the top grammar schools.
His classes are enjoyable and the material and assessments, which he recommends as well as prepares himself are exhaustive. He expects a firm commitment and involvement from the parents, which is only fair and helps to encourage the child. I would recommend Ace 11+ tuition if your child seeks to secure a place in a grammar school.

Very Able Tutor

Ash is a very knowledgeable and meticulous tutor. He has the ability to accurately assess the strengths and weaknesses of each kid; this helps level set expectations as to what outcome can be reasonably expected.

He puts in a lot of effort to ensure that his materials are of a good standard and more importantly addresses the needs of the exams. Some of the materials from other providers are good but are way above the levels expected in the exams. With Ash, that is not an issue.

From a child's perspective, he is strict but is also funny at times. This has definitely helped my kid be engaged during the class. There has been very good progress since she started.

Overall, Ash is a very good tutor to work with if one is interested in giving grammar schools the best shot.

Best money I ever spent

Best money I ever spent. My son loved The classes even if it meant getting up early on a Sunday morning. With Ash’s help my son passed all the 11+ exams (something none of his peers managed) and he got a place in our first choice school of Wilson’s. I would highly recommend Ash and his classes but as long as you’re willing to put time in at home with your child too.

Very Recommended

Ash is definitly your best choice if you are aiming high,my son started Ash in Year 4, and since then, he has passed Q.E. and Kent with ALL full scores, he also received offers from St Paul, Westmintser, Winchester and Eton, those are the top schools that we have never dreamed of until we came to Ash.
He has a nice teaching style that my son likes, and my son learnt so much after one lesson, and always has something to do during the weekdays, all you need to do, is to follow what Ash sets.
Choose Ash because he is the one who really cares your child's potential,you will not regret!

I couldn’t recommend Ash highly enough!! We secured our preferred school choices of Olaves and Sevenoaks School

My Son started with Ash in Year 5 and my ONLY regret was that I hadn’t discovered Ash earlier!! He was absolutely incredible and truly pushed Theo to reach his greatest potential!! Every lesson, Theo was pushed to think harder and was ALWAYS learning!!! He was stretched continuously and Ash always ensured that his materials were to the highest standard and up to date with all the industry changes!! I could not recommend Ash highly enough and I will be ensuring that my youngest two are already signed up and ready to start with him in year 4 even though they are only 4 and 6 now!!! MASSIVE thank you to Ash for everything as I truly believe Theo secured a place at both Olaves and Sevenoaks School thanks to Ash pushing Theo to best version of himself throughout the year!! I couldn’t recommend Ash highly enough!!! Thank you for everything that you have done for Theo and my family!

He is an unbelievable tutor

Ash is a highly recommended and my son said he is always giving challenging and easy test but he always gives challenging test.Ash will tell your child some maths techniques and he will be very helpful during your childs or children's 11+.Additionally he will tell you what is needed for the schools your child is aiming for especially for any grammar schools. He will also tell you many synonym/antonym/meaning. You will not regret joining ash especially during the time of your child's or children's 11+.You will not regret spending only 2hrs for your child's or children's class although he has strict rules that are reasonable.
You will not want to miss out on this oppurtunity. He is an experienced teacher.

Ash helped my son pass QE, St Olaves and Wilson

Ash knows what he is doing. He will give accurate advice and assessments. His style of teaching is fun for the kids and informative for the parents. That helps children to enjoy his classes and helps parents work with kids at home too. My son enjoyed his classes and Ash motivated him to not just aim for passing - but to aim for achieving the best. He passed QE, St Olaves(both stages), Wilson, Kent with high score and Bexley exam in top 180. I will recommend Ash's tutions.

Ash made our dream come true!

Ash has been an amazing tutor. He has been innovative in his approach to teaching and turned my son around who was not motivated at the beginning. After joining Ash my son was enthusiastic about doing his weekly work and wanted to complete all homework before next lesson. Ash’s technique in tackling the 11plus has been second to none. My son passed Grammar School exams and the top Independent schools such as City of London Boys, Alleyn’s, Dulwich College, Colfes and St Dunstan’s, several with scholarships. Ash made our dreams come true!!

Excellent teaching

Excellent teaching, fantastic resources, support (for both parent and child) and mentoring.My third child is currently being tutored by ACE 11+ Tuition and my other children also attended ACE11+ Tuition and now attend top Grammar Schools. Whilst a classroom environment is not for every child, the support and guidance the children receive is in my opinion second to none and the tutoring far superior to what they would have received on a 1 to 1 basis with an individual tutor. The tutoring is fair, challenging and thorough as well as being exceptionally well organised and planned out. Honest feedback and guidance is given which is extremely helpful. I would highly recommend ACE 11 + Tuition.

Well organised tutor.

Ash is well organised and provides children with good techniques. Known to be strict with the children, however, this in turn ensures your child is on the ball. My son enjoys attending the classes.

Excellent, passionate 11+ Guru!

Ash is an excellent tutor.

My son is currently in Year 5 and has been attending Ash’s tuition for 7 months now. We have noticed a huge improvement. My son uses “Ash’s tricks” which he teaches in a fun but strict way.

During the current pandemic, he moved very quickly and efficiently to online learning. My son learns just as much as he would if he was attending his classes in person.

I have recommended Ash to friends.

Keep up the hard work Ash.
