Specific and guided feedback through assessments
Our assessments produce precise overviews of the gaps in a student’s knowledge
Following an assessment, we take into consideration a child’s target schools to draw up a specific checklist of what they need to cover in tuition, so that we can match the right tutor to your child. Delivered via face-to-face meetings with one of our experts, this approach enables us to prepare students for entry into top schools such as St Paul’s, Westminster Under, KCS and Latymer.

I engaged Ivy Tutors for my children aged 14, 12 and 7 following a strange period of "educational flux" which occurred when we moved from Kenya (on the English Curriculum) to Cape Town (South African system) for 9 months and then back to the UK. My kids missed the Autumn term whilst waiting for their visas in the UK and then arrived just in time for the long holiday in SA, spent two terms in their SA Schools, one in Covid lockdown and then needed to start UK schools the following September. All in all they were behind by nearly an entire academic year and we were super stressed! Ivy tutors worked so hard to find a remote tutoring solution that fitted our budget and timelines. The tutors were picked really carefully to match our children's interests and personalities and the lessons were engaging and extremely effective. All of our kids entered their new schools in the UK having caught up and with more confidence in their abilities than they have ever had before. I thank my lucky stars that this solution was available as I am certain that it helped immeasurably to smooth over what could have been an educational disaster for our children. Thanks so much Ivy Tutors for a really special service!
Understanding each child as an individual and identifying their academic attainment and areas for development is the key to ensuring their educational success. Using assessment to determine the level of a child relative to their age and stage will help parents recognise how their child compares to the standards against which they are being measured, allowing targeted work and faster progression.
By combining an assessment with our wealth of experience and extensive network of contacts, we can gauge your child’s readiness for an application to a UK school, and arrange any tuition that might be required. Focusing on English Language, as well as Maths and Verbal and Non-verbal Reasoning, our assessments enable us to tailor a unique approach for your child.
Feedback and Reporting
On completion of the assessments, an expert assessor will meet with the family to provide verbal feedback.
A comprehensive written report is then provided, which clearly outlines all of our insights and recommendations.

Ivy Education delivered each and every time I called on them for assistance with my kids. We immigrated in the middle of their high school career and they required a great deal of help to adjust to a new curriculum and the UK academic standards. They have now all successfully completed their A levels and Ivy Education assisted them throughout their journey. Thank you for getting us the right tutor for our needs. Some of their tutors have become lifelong friends.
