English for 11+ taught properly

“I have worked with Shalaka for over a decade as her Deputy Headteacher and then as her Headteacher. She is an outstanding teacher — the children she teaches make impressive progress. She has particularly made a significant impact on our school with her Year 6 teaching of grammar, spelling and punctuation. Shalaka has tutored my own child since Year 2, and I would recommend her as a private tutor without hesitation.”

“J has attended The Blossoming Mind small group sessions for almost a year. During this time, we have seen his confidence in English comprehension and writing flourish. Shalaka’s structured approach and clear communication has enabled J to attempt comprehension tasks independently and with confidence. Her unique style and passion for writing has inspired J to think creatively whilst applying the literary techniques taught to him each session. We would recommend Shalaka’s small group sessions to any families preparing for 11+ assessments.”

“Mrs L has helped me to develop my knowledge of grammar and my comprehension skills. Before I started tuition with Mrs L, I used to find it challenging to plan creative writing tasks. The tutorials have taught me how to approach writing tasks and apply lots of different English techniques. I look forward to my lessons and homework and find it really helpful when I get feedback from Mrs L. I have also learnt how to approach 11+ English papers more confidently. Thank you for the wonderful teaching, Mrs L!”
