Testimonials

“Carmina was an incredibly thoughtful and patient tutor for our daughter, trying to find solutions when she wouldn’t engage with learning. She never judged our daughter who was going through a very anxious time and tried to find ways to teach her even when our daughter didn’t want to learn.” – Mum of Autistic secondary school student, out of school due to anxiety.

“Thank you Carmina for all your support with my daughter with her 11+ prep. You are incredibly patient and ensured that Maggie was consistently focused and made continual progress in the run up to her 11+ exams. She is now in Year 9 and very happy at Sydenham High. She’s in the top Maths set and continues to excel academically, based on the strong foundation she built with you.” Mum of 11+ student.

“Carmina tutored both my daughters. Through her patience and her ability explain the subject matters, she was successful in tutoring both my daughters to pass the exams to get into St Dunstans College.  Carmina recognised their different approach and styles to learning and tailored her methods to suit each daughter.  We are very grateful for her support in this matter.” Mum of two 11+ students.

  “Carmina has a very calm and kind nature. She helped my daughter feel very comfortable whilst learning.” – Mum of 7+ student.

“Carmina taught my daughter to improve her knowledge, confidence and prepare her for 11+ entrance exams. She was always extremely encouraging, an excellent tutor and her lessons became a highlight of the week. Thea’s maths and language comprehension skills grew enormously and we’re very grateful to Carmina for this. Thea still remembers the Banangrams battles fondly!” – Dad of 11+ student
