Reviews
Here are just some of the testimonials:
Anneline Wilson (Nov 2023) - This is the second time we have used Serena's services for 11+ tuition. Serena was wonderful and helped our daughter pass 11+ 7yrs ago so we were so pleased to be able to have the same opportunity for our son this year. Serena offers a very comfortable learning environment with numerous learning aids and support material; she has a fantastic kind and patient approach to bring out the best in students whilst boosting their confidence in new skills. Nathan enjoyed and looked forward to every session and thanks to Serena, he passed the 11+ with a very high score. Serena is a wonderful tutor, also taking the time to help parents understand 11+ and be able to interact with the learning material and homework. We would certainly recommend Serena to anyone looking for a tutor to help with 11+ or Maths.
Donna Perry (Oct 2023) - Serena has not only helped our son pass his 11+ with an incredible score, she has been such a positive influence in his life in terms of boosting his confidence. She is calming, super organised and also understanding if commitments come up and sometimes we needed to change a session. Serena works at a pace to suit your child and it is done perfectly so they feel ready to face the test when the time arrives. We cannot recommend her enough and have already asked her to pencil us in for our daughter this time next year.
Nicola Rees (Oct 2023) - Serena is brilliant! Thomas really enjoyed his sessions and got much more from them as well as his 11+ skills. I would definitely recommend. 🙂
Elizabeth Gilliatt (Oct 2023) - Serena was a fantastic tutor, kind, patient and explained everything so clearly. She also made the lessons fun to maintain interest and they took place in a nice, calm environment. The timetabling for the year was well structured and a steady build-up to the exams. My child looked forward to going to lessons and went into the exams fully prepared and knowing what to expect and we were thrilled that he passed, thanks to Serena.
Kirsty Warsap (Oct 2023) - Serena is simply amazing. So supportive and helps with not only academics but mindset and confidence which is absolutely essential. We cannot thank her enough, would highly recommend to absolutely anyone over and over again! ❤️
Clare Wilson (Oct 2023) - Superb tutor, keeps reassuring and building skills for the 11+.
Corinne Tomlin (Aug 2023) - Serena came highly recommended and did not disappoint. Our son initially went for 11+ tuition and enjoyed his weekly sessions so much that we felt furthering his learning skills, by continuing with SATs tuition for another year with Serena, would give him the best start in secondary. Our son has gained a love of learning, confidence in himself and the foundations for a great start in Grammar. Serena is very professional, approachable and makes learning fun. I would definitely recommend her. Thank you Serena.
Michelle Kirton (Nov 2022) - Serena has been amazing with preparing our son for his 11+. He always enjoyed his sessions and Serena explained everything so well at the right pace needed. Serena is very approachable, friendly and professional and instantly put us all at ease. We are very grateful for her input and can't recommend her highly enough. 😊
Karen Blackburn (Oct 2022) - Thank you Serena for your fantastic tuition. You connected with Gracie from the start and she loved coming to her lessons. You helped to build her confidence and she was always keen to do her homework and progress in her learning of the 11+ papers. I would definitely recommend Serena for anyone looking for 11+ tuition.
Jo Crawford (Oct 2022) - Serena is a fantastic tutor who ensures that she works to the child's learning style whilst encouraging them to find ways of working that suit them too. She is organised, friendly and very approachable and my son loved going for his weekly sessions and happily did the homework! I would highly recommend her to anyone thinking of tutoring for their child.
Victoria Garnade (Oct 2022) - I would definitely recommend Serena for 11 plus tutoring. She has an amazing approach which put our daughter at ease and found that she could understand the questions as they were explained brilliantly. Our daughter passed the 11 plus and is now continuing with Serena for extra math tuition to give her a boost for her new school.
Gemma Sikes (Oct 2022) - I would highly recommend Serena for 11+ tuition for your child. My son Jack really enjoyed his lessons and Serena made the learning fun and easy to understand. She never put any pressure on Jack and went at his pace which I appreciated. The 11+ test is stressful enough! Serena is very accommodating and flexible and will fit around your own commitments. Jack had lessons remotely which suited us as we are a fair distance away. Homework was well structured and suited to Jack who is not a huge fan of homework. Jack went on to pass the exam which we were thrilled about. Highly professional and friendly service. Thank you Serena xx
Mr and Mrs Briers (Oct 2022) - Serena's quality of teaching is exceptional. Our daughter felt calm, confident and excited going into the 11+ exams and she enjoyed the sessions so much, asking if she could study further with Serena in the future! Serena's approach is fantastic, really engaging and fun, and great results in return! Recommended without question.
Miss Salway (Nov 2021) - My daughter really enjoyed her sessions and got so much out of them. Serena is professional and dedicated and always well organised. My daughter's confidence boomed through the sessions and she went on to pass her 11+. Serena has a lovely set up for in person tuition... comfy sofas and a hot drink for the parents. Highly recommended.
Dr and Mrs Wilbourn (Oct 2021) - Wow! We cannot recommend Serena highly enough! She took all the stress out of 11+ preparation and made it such fun! Her quality of teaching was exceptional, our son felt thoroughly prepared and calm facing his 11+ exams in 2021. His results were beyond amazing and we will definitely be back with our youngest child! Without doubt one of the best parental decisions we have ever made! Thank you seems inadequate!
Mr O'Keeffe (Oct 2021) - I can not recommend Wolds Tuition enough! Serena was amazing with my son and made learning fun and gave so much encouragement throughout his 11+ tuition. He went on to do exceptionally well and passed with an impressive score. Whether in person or over Skype Serena got the most out of my son and not only did his knowledge blossom but so did his confidence. Excellent service all round!
Mrs Abell (Oct 2021) - Thank you so much Serena!! My daughter achieved fantastic results yesterday in her 11 plus. You put your heart and soul into tutoring and your students' results speak for themselves.
To anyone looking for Primary age tuition or 11 plus tutoring, I would highly recommend Wolds Tuition!
Mrs Dennison (Oct 2021) - Thank you so much to Serena for helping my daughter pass her 11+
I would highly recommend her *****
Mrs Elsom (Oct 2021) - We could not have wished for a better tutor for India than Serena. Serena is amazing with her pupils and India always looked forward to her lessons. Serena finds the perfect balance of focus and learning whilst making it fun and enjoyable. Would highly recommend Wolds Tuition for 11+ and have already booked my youngest in for next year as she enters year 5!
Thank you so much for all of your hard work with India and your support.
Mrs McCooey (Oct 2021)- We would definitely recommend Serena for 11+ tuition! Our daughter passed this week with an amazing result! We were really impressed throughout the process with Serena's positive and friendly attitude which brought out the best in our daughter and improved her confidence across all areas. Thank you Serena!
Miss M (Oct 2021) - I would highly recommend Serena for maths tuition and 11+ tuition. She is well organised and goes above and beyond supporting the individual needs of your child. My daughter really enjoys her sessions and has progressed well.
Mrs Tope (Oct 2021) - Mere words are not enough to describe the excellent and exceptional service received from Wolds Tuition. Although, I stumbled across this qualitative tutorial service in March 2021 whilst, searching for a Lincolnshire 11+ tutor, retrospectively it wasn't a mere coincidence. The enrolment process was seamless, the quality of teaching was superb, my son was patiently, intentionally, nurtured and prepared for his 11+ exams in September 2021. Results are out today and my son's over the moon as he passed with flying colours and surpassed his expectations. I can confidently affirm that enrolling with Wolds Tuition is one of the best decisions as a parent, relating to his academics. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! May the odds continually be in your favour and I will be back again come September 2022.

Ms Krol (July 2021) - My son has had 11+ and SAT tuition. Serena is a fantastic tutor and goes above and beyond expectations. She was focused and sympathetic to my son's needs and difficulties. He has made great progress. I can not recommend her highly enough.
Mrs Stark (Oct 2020) - My son's confidence going into the 11+ was at an all-time high thanks to Serena. He refused to let me or his dad help him familiarise himself with the tests but he really wanted to do his best. Even just a few sessions with Serena and he was much more confident about the tests and what he had to do. She was patient, calm and just able to explain everything so clearly. Ace.
Mrs Saxby (Oct 2020) - My son hated maths to the point he feared it and switched off. We contacted Serena for help and what a transformation. He is confident and now actually understands what maths is about and enjoys it rather than fears it. Serena is so patient and calm and tailors lessons to each child's abilities and likes. My son looks forward to his weekly maths tuition with Serena and we will be forever indebted to her. Thank you.
Mrs Foley (Oct 2020) - Serena is amazing, she has such a calm and friendly way with the kids. My daughter is particularly shy and really struggles to work well when she is under pressure, Serena made her feel comfortable immediately and put her at ease. My daughter doesn't particularly enjoy doing the school work but thoroughly enjoyed her session with Serena and is looking forward to the next. Highly recommended!
Mrs Cartledge (Oct 2020) - My son has been having 11+ tuition, he has loved every minute and it has even improved his school work. Serena, you have kept him motivated and given him so much confidence! I will be calling on you again with my other two children, definitely!! Thank you for all your hard work.
Mrs Elsom (Sept 2020) - Very friendly and approachable. Made my daughter feel very at ease.
Mr Hall (July 2020) - Serena is a very professional and dedicated tutor who has improved my son`s maths ability and confidence tremendously.
Mrs Cartwright (Dec 2019) - I am so happy I found Serena. She tutored my daughter through the 11+ back in 2016 and she passed! Serena is kind, patient and cares a lot for her students. My daughter absolutely loved her lessons with Serena and now we have her back tutoring our son.
Fantastic tutor and lovely lady.
Mrs G (Oct 2018) - My daughter has been having weekly Maths and 11+ tuition with Serena since she was in year 3. She has just started year 6. She flew the real 11+ tests and is so happy to be starting grammar school next September! Incredible! Thank you so much Serena!
Mrs S (Sept 2017) - My child`s end of year report said that my son was well below average for Maths. He would shut down if I tried to help him. After just one year with Serena, he is now above the standard required for his year group! Unbelievable! I cannot recommend Serena enough.
Mrs Vinters (July 2017) - Wouldn`t know where my child would be today had it not been for Serena. Professional, understanding and patient. Highly recommend.
Mrs Archer (Oct 2016) - I approached Serena having already seen first-hand what an excellent teacher she was. Serena`s tutoring gave my daughter the confidence and ability to fly her 11+ and gain a place at Alford Grammar! I would recommend Serena to anyone looking for 11+ or Maths tuition for their child.
Mrs Bollado (March 2016)- My son has had 5 sessions so far with Serena and even his teachers have commented on the fact that his confidence and skills have grown. She has a lovely calm manner with a good sense of humour, exactly what my son needs. I would highly recommend her.
Mrs Llewellin (March 2016) - Serena has made a real difference with my daughter in a very short space of time. Would highly recommend.
