Fantastic Teachers...
...very happy with the structure, service and overall learning experience. We liked the group based learning approach followed by one-on-one feedback. Both Mrs.B and Manju are fantastic set of teachers who exactly know what is required to crack 11plus exams.
Inclusive learning...
They make classes inclusive, make learning enjoyable and are available whenever needed. I was able to talk to Manju almost after every class and get the required feedback to support my son at home.
Outstanding Experience...
...we were incredibly impressed by how quickly he was able to grasp new concepts... What sets Pillai Tutors apart is that they don't just focus on exam templates for the 11+; they ensure that students develop a solid understanding of the subject as a whole.
Highly recommended...
I would give 5 stars for Manju and Ms B commitment in getting children prepared for Sutton grammar schools. We had our first preference school and it has been a good guided seamless preparation with Pillai tutors. I would recommend.
Amazing Support...
Manju and her team has been amazing in guiding and tutoring 11+ kids to achieve their admission to best grammar and private schools.
We let our results speak for themselves
Potential developed through process creates progress, moulding personality. This has been our mantra. Our results speak for themselves.
9/10 of our 11 Plus customers consider returning to us for secondary school classes. Over 75% of our new admissions are by word of mouth. We take pride in our students, and let them take pride in their performance. They blow our trumpets for us!
