Success Stories

Summer School

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, he was so much more confident and even wanted to do extra practice! She got offers from NLCS and Haberdashers.

11+ Success Stories

— Parent of Year 6 student, Barnet
We saw a complete shift in confidence — and it paid off.
Before we found Academic Success, my son would freeze up under pressure. The small group sessions gave him structure, strategy, and belief in himself. He received offers from both QE Boys and Merchant Taylors’. We couldn’t be prouder — and more grateful.
— Parent of Year 5 student, Hampstead
They knew exactly how to get her exam-ready.
The English and reasoning teaching was outstanding — focused, challenging, and incredibly well-paced. Thanks to Academic Success, our daughter secured places at Henrietta Barnett, NLCS, and City of London School for Girls. It felt like we had a team in our corner from start to finish.
— Parent of Year 6 student, Ealing
Writing went from her weakness to her strength.
Our daughter had always struggled with creative writing, but the techniques and encouragement she got here made all the difference. She walked into her 11+ confident and calm — and came out with offers from St Paul’s Girls’ and Latymer Upper.
— Parent of Year 5 student, Kingston
They don’t just prepare for the test — they prepare the child.
From verbal reasoning tips to timed writing drills, everything was tailored and thoughtful. What stood out was how much they cared. My son got into Tiffin, but even more importantly, he came out of the process believing in himself.
— Parent of Year 6 student, South London
We felt fully supported — every step of the way.
Academic Success offered so much more than tutoring. We had regular feedback, mock results, and genuine insight into how to help our daughter improve. She secured offers from St Paul’s, Westminster, and Sevenoaks but more importantly, she enjoyed the journey.
— Parent of Year 5 student, Elstree
What they teach goes beyond the exam paper.
Yes, the techniques were excellent. Yes, the mock exams were spot-on. But what impressed us most was how our son became a more independent, reflective learner. His place at Haberdashers’ was the result but the growth was the real reward.

4+ Success Stories

Parent of 4-year-old, Hampstead
    We were new to the 4+ process but Academic Success made it feel simple and empowering.
    As first-time parents navigating the 4+, we were overwhelmed. The gentle, play-based sessions gave our daughter confidence without pressure. She ended up with offers from NLCS and South Hampstead High and actually looked forward to her assessments!
 Parent of 4+ student, Elstree
    He walked into his assessment with a smile — and left with an offer.
    Our son was bright but shy in unfamiliar settings. The teachers at Academic Success knew exactly how to draw him out through games and structured activities. He received an offer from Haberdashers’ Boys’ and we couldn’t be happier.
Parent of Reception applicant, North London
    The best decision we made for our daughter’s school journey.
    The 4+ sessions were so much more than prep they built resilience, communication, and real joy in learning. She was offered places at St Paul’s Juniors and Highgate, and we credit Academic Success for making the whole experience feel calm and clear.
 Parent of 4+ student, St John’s Wood
    He became more focused, more confident — and more himself.
    We saw a huge leap in our son’s focus and willingness to engage. The team made learning feel like fun — and helped him shine during the Arnold House and Durston House assessments. He received offers from both.
Parent of 4+ applicant, West London
    Structured, nurturing, and exactly what our daughter needed
    Academic Success understood how to support our daughter without pushing too hard. The right balance of routine, encouragement and early skills helped her gain places at Bute House and Avenue House. She felt proud — and so did we.
 Parent of 4-year-old, Harrow
    I felt supported as a parent just as much as she did as a learner.
    The home strategies and feedback were incredibly helpful. We knew exactly what to focus on without feeling stressed. Our daughter was offered a place at Harrow School Pre-Prep and now loves learning — even outside the classroom.
