We know how easily learning at home can turn into a daily struggle. The frustration, the resistance, the tears at the kitchen table. That’s why we created Academic Success Summer School: a supportive, expert-led programme designed to help children learn, grow, and thrive without the pressure.
Here’s what sets us apart:
Whether your child needs a boost in core skills, is preparing for entrance exams, or just wants to stay engaged over the summer, we’ll help them return to school motivated, confident, and ready to succeed.
Because summer learning shouldn’t be a battle, it should be a boost.

At Academic Success, we believe every child can thrive with the right support, expert teaching, and a nurturing learning environment.
Our founder, Reena Damani, is a mum of two, an alumna of Haberdashers’ Girls’ School, and an experienced teacher with over 20 years of expertise helping children aged 4–11 build strong academic foundations, confidence, and a love for learning. Reena has guided hundreds of children to success in 4+, 7+, 11+ entrance exams, SATs, and beyond always with a focus on personalised, engaging lessons that nurture confidence and a growth mindset.
Under Reena’s leadership, Academic Success has become a trusted learning community for families seeking high-quality, affordable tuition from expert teachers, not just tutors. Our fully qualified team brings decades of classroom experience, curriculum expertise, and a passion for helping children unlock their potential.
We don’t just prepare children for exams, we empower them to become confident, curious learners for life.
At Academic Success, we’re proud to have a team of qualified, experienced teachers, not students tutors or exam coaches, but experts who know the curriculum inside out. Each teacher is handpicked for their subject knowledge, age-group expertise, and passion for helping children thrive.
With decades of combined classroom experience, our team has supported thousands of children across all abilities from building early foundations to preparing for the 11+ and beyond.
What sets us apart:
At Academic Success, we believe that with the right tools, the right guidance, and the right mindset, every child can achieve their full potential.
We believe learning is more powerful when it’s shared.
Our small-group classes create a warm, collaborative environment where children can:
Group learning isn’t just effective. It’s energising, motivating, and reflects real life. It helps children feel seen, heard, and inspired by the progress of others.
Because when children learn together, they grow together.
Real Families. Real Results.
Parent of 7 year old, Pinner
My daughter went from hating maths to saying it’s her favourite subject.
We signed up for the summer school because Anya was struggling with her confidence in maths. The small group setting, the patient teachers, and the fun learning activities made such a difference. She now goes back to school with a smile, ready to take on challenges — and we never thought we’d hear her say she loves maths!
Parent of 10 year old, Northwood
The best decision we made to help with 11+ prep.
Ethan was feeling overwhelmed with 11+ prep, and I was worried he’d burn out. Academic Success Summer School helped him approach learning with fresh energy, and the weekly assessments gave us clear feedback. He’s now more focused and confident and got an offer from Haberdashers and Merchant Taylors!
Parent of 6 year old, Stanmore
I wasn’t aiming for exams – I just wanted my son to keep learning over summer. It was perfect!
Noah’s just going into Year 1, and we weren’t looking at entrance exams, but we didn’t want him to lose momentum over summer. The phonics activities were so much fun, and he learned without even realising. It’s not just exam-focused it’s about confidence and a love of learning.
Parent of 10 year old, Barnet
A calm, supportive space that took the pressure off but delivered results.
Ruby did both weeks of the summer school, and I can’t recommend it enough. The focus on 11+ prep helped her get used to exam formats without it feeling like a grind. By the end, she was so much more confident and even wanted to do extra practice! She got offers from NLCS and Haberdashers.
Parent of 8 year old, Finchley
It’s not just about exam papers — my child came out more confident and independent.
Maya can be shy in groups, so I was nervous about sending her. But the small classes and nurturing teachers made all the difference. She came home beaming every day and even made new friends. It’s been a huge boost for her confidence as well as her learning.
