In our Clients’ Words
A History of Excellent Results
The Golden Circle is a unique community of students, parents and educators. It is a privilege to work with so many wonderful families and we are proud to have received many notes of thanks over the years. You can read our latest feedback from students and parents below.
Primary
"We are delighted that our child has been offered a place at Westminster Under School. The 4+ assessment process can feel quite daunting but Natasha made the entire journey positive, engaging, and stress-free. Instead of rigid drilling, she focused on building our child's confidence, communication skills, and natural curiosity through playful, structured learning.
If you are aiming for top-tier schools and want a tutor who brings out the absolute best in your child with kindness and expertise, we cannot recommend Natasha highly enough!"
Parents of a new Reception student

Mother of a Year 3 student
"My daughter is really enjoying her lessons with Charlie. She is growing in confidence and positivity. Charlie has helped her to manage group situations better and overcome her social anxiety. She is now so much happier and motivated to go back to school. Thank you for all your help this year."
Parent of a Year 4 student
"Marco is a fantastic martial arts teacher for my son. He is relatable, motivating and a great role model. My son has ADHD and so much energy in the classroom. Martial arts has enabled him to channel this energy in a positive way. The breathing techniques and self defence activities that they practice together have really helped my son to focus, exercise self control, and regulate his emotions."
Mother of a Year 4 student
"Lizzie has been a wonderful teacher for my daughter. She has not only transformed her ability but inspired an interest in Maths in a way that we could never have dreamt of! Her kind, calm approach meant that my daughter was never afraid to ask questions in order to fully understand a topic. Lizzie has an infectious enthusiasm for her subject and this passion is sewn into the fabric of every lesson."
Mother of a Year 5 student
Common Entrance and Scholarships
"Freddie is a wonderful tutor - he always gives 100% and more. Most importantly his knowledge and insights into the Common Entrance and King’s Scholarship process is exceptional. He is a gifted teacher and we have been very lucky as a family to benefit from all that he has to offer!"

"My daughter has been invited to interviews at St Paul's Girls' School, Godolphin & Latymer, LEH and Putney High School. She excelled in the 11+ exam and a great part of her success is due to Hannah and your team. Her English lessons with your team showed her how to take her creative writing from good to excellent."
Mother of a Year 6 11+ student

GCSEs
"Adrienne is superb and works wonders! We cannot thank her enough for her work with our son. With Adrienne's help, our son's Computer Science grade has improved dramatically - his technical knowledge and vocabulary has greatly expanded, and his enthusiasm for the subject has come with this new understanding."
Parent of a Year 11 student
"We are thrilled with Tom's tutoring, not only because my son achieved a grade 8 but because Tom built my son's confidence, knowledge and essay-writing skills. His focus on all-important exam techniques meant that my son was well prepared, calm and collected going into the exam."

Mother of a GCSE student
"I just wanted to share my thanks and appreciation for your hard work preparing my son for his exams. Oliver is a fantastic and talented educator - the best we could have asked for! He uses learning techniques which bring the language to life... My son is now achieving great results at school but, more importantly, he has confidence and an enthusiasm for the language that wasn't there before."
Father of a Year 11 student

Mother of an A Level Film Studies student
"As exams come to an end, I want to express my deepest gratitude to Toby for his unwavering dedication over the past year. His lessons truly inspired my daughter—after years of struggling with essay structure, Toby helped everything 'click.' He not only taught her a crucial skill but also unlocked a genuine love for creative writing."
Parent of a Year 13 student
"Hannah is enthusiastic, organised and patient. She explains ideas multiple times and in different ways. Unlike many teachers who rely on textbooks, Hannah knows the A Level syllabus inside out and teaches it creatively and effectively... I'm delighted to say that he has been offered a place at Exeter University for September!"
Mother of an A Level Geography student
"Pippa has taught our daughter for the past two years. My daughter was diagnosed with dyslexia in Year 11 and enjoyed but struggled with essay-based subjects. Pippa has worked tirelessly to support her with the step up to A Levels, to build her confidence, and to equip her with the tools she needs to write concise, well-structured essays."
Parents of a Year 12 student
"Jake has worked with our son on a weekly basis for the past 12 months. After a poor set of Year 12 end-of-year results, he was feeling very unmotivated and had low self-esteem. Jake has been incredible, supporting him academically and building his confidence."
