Meena is an expert in her field. A truly dedicated tutor who knows the requirements and level of attainment needed for the grammar schools across North London and beyond. She teaches in a very caring but firm way and she got the absolute best from our son in a very short timeframe subsequently getting him into one of the schools he was aiming for. I should add she achieved this in a very short time frame such is the way of her dedication to helping achieve the goals of students and parents alike.

We tried other group lessons before joining with Meena, her lessons were full of details, very helpful to laid-back parents like us, enthusiastic but didn’t know how to push child to achieve their potential level. Our experience with other group lessons were terrible we didn’t think teaching should be so pushy and harsh, and we confirmed this when we were with Meena. She was strict but never harsh, homework were a lot but I suppose that was manageable by most of the kids. We would like to recommend Meena to parents in need, actually had recommended her to a few friends, we hope all kids will go to the best suitable schools!

You exceeded all our expectations Meena. You were not only a tutor but you guide us all through our 11+ journey. There are not enough words to describe our appreciation. Without you we would not succeed, many thanks.

Meena is a highly experienced 11+ tutor, who is results driven, whilst also caring to her students. She has high expectations and demands a lot, but this enables her students to realise their true potential. I’d have no hesitation recommending her to parents thinking of putting their children through the 11+ process. It’s not easy but Meena will guide you every step of the way!

Sarah was my second child who received outstanding tutoring from Meena and also got into a grammar school like her older sibling. Meena provides parents with extra input about the child strengths and weaknesses that are critical in the learning journey and my two daughters would not have achieved the same result without it. Meena takes the time to talk to parents and is patient. Children enjoy the classes and the learning with Meena which I think is very important. With all these points combined, it is very hard to find a Tutor that provides the same high quality teaching level as Meena, we have seen great progress in our children both within Meena classes and at school, teachers at school noted the change to us. Some of the other centres, although they may seem like a professional setting, are nowhere close to quality of teaching of Meena and I personally think are a waste of time and money. In fact we know many parents who took their children there with disappointing 11+ results. Other children in the same group as our child have also got into grammar or private schools of their choices. I will be taking my two other children for 11 plus tutoring with Meena in due time (one is Starting Sep 2023) and I am happy to recommend her to any other parent.

Her direction was invaluable in navigating the wild west maze of the 11 plus. She had a clear plan and it made the journey so much less painful to follow her direction. The experiences helped reminded me of all I had forgotten and she brought times tables into our words as the bedrock of so many topics. . Meena taught the kids well and took time to explain key topics which the homework built on. Meena created a safe space for the children to learn, make mistakes, grow and help each other. My daughter describes the lessons as energetic. She says that the lessons did not feel pressured and that she felt she could ask questions. My son felt that Meena tolerated him and gave him many chances to help and support him. My son liked the lessons. As someone who can be easily distracted he felt that she respected the kids and gave good direction to help everyone learn. He describes the lessons as ‘solid’. As a parent I found her supportive approachable, kind, honest and responsive easy to have tricky conversations with. Meena was refreshingly honest about my kids’ strengths and weaknesses and her compassion and direction was invaluable for us.

My husband and I were new to this process. It is a lot to get your head around. Meena gave us guidance all the way. She provided us with the direction we needed. This was through regular after lesson feedback (in her own time), organised homework and explanations. The latter in particular allowed us to support our son with the homework. Her standards are high, and having completed the process, they needed to be. Competition is high, and Meena is just as commited to your child as you will be. As well as the ability to perform well in exams, he also learnt some valuable life lessons in being organised, the merits of hard work and balancing his social/homework time. All will prepare him for secondary school. Admitedly I was sceptical about group work vs one to one. However there was a lot to gain from peer learning and a feeling of ‘doing it together’. Friendships were also made meaning he will know a few in year 7 when he starts. For the parents doing this with their child, be prepared to give your time, daily support, continued love and patience. You will also learn a lot too! My vocabularly has certainly improved. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Meena to friends and family. Thanks for everything Meena!

The tuition my son received from Meena for 11+ exams was excellent.And of course that is evident from the results my son achieved. He sat the 11+ exams for Dame Alice Owen School ,Latymer School and QE Boys school. His results were excellent and he was offered a place in all three schools.His first choice was QE Boys school where he is thriving now. My son attended Meena’s lessons for nearly two years.Meena, as well as a great tutor, was an excellent communicator with the parents, explaining in details the next steps that needed to be achieved, she was encouraging us all the time. Meena’s expertise in 11+ syllabus is amazing, she is confident that the children can achieve their full potential, she simply has the knowledge when and how to push the children. My son was academically and more important, mentally prepared by Meena to sit all exams. Thanks to Meena’s teaching, confidence, enthusiasm, consistency and teaching style, the results my son achieved were amazing.

Meena is a great tutor, she provides her own material and work papers that others don’t have access and she has put them together herself to giving my child an advantage in my opinion. Initially it appears like a lot of work and very high expectations but I can see now that it is what is required to succeed. Meena got the parents engaged in her feedback sessions after most lessons which were really useful as we were able to help our child. Thank you for all your guidance and support Meena.

Deciding to join Meena’s class was one of the best decisions we have made with regards to my son’s 11+ journey. Meena was recommended to us by one of our friends whose son got into QE Boys with the help of her classes. Meena’s dedication to get her students to their best level is commendable and is contagious as well, as we as parents also join this demanding but rewarding journey to get our kids the finest opportunities they deserve. The teaching methods and topics covered in her class are well structured and the kids will be miles ahead in their primary school class. Together with Meena’s classes and her guidance if the parents are fully committed to work with their kids, then a place at your chosen school will not be far away. I am a proud mom of a QE Boys student and I thank Meena for all her help and support.

When it comes to preparing for the eleven plus exam, hiring a private tutor can be a great way to ensure your child is fully prepared and confident. But with so many tutors out there, how do you choose the best one? In my experience, the best private tutor for eleven plus is someone who has a deep understanding of the exam format and requirements, and has a track record of helping students achieve excellent results. They should also tailor their teaching style and strategies to the individual needs of each student, and be skilled at building rapport and keeping them motivated. One tutor who meets all of these criteria is Meenakshi. With over a decade of experience in tutoring students for the eleven plus, Meena has an in-depth knowledge of the exam and the various techniques that work best for each section. She also takes a personalised approach to teaching, using diagnostic tests and careful observation to identify areas where each individual student needs improvement, and then tailoring her lessons accordingly. Meena is also a highly engaging and inspiring teacher. I recommend her all the way. Thanks you for all your kindness!

Meena is a very experienced tutor who not only teaches the children but guides the parents through the whole 11+ process. She has invaluable tips and trips that you cannot find in a textbook and uses her knowledge to develop her pupils understanding of how to get extra points in the exams, that most other candidates may not have. It’s testament to Meena’s tutoring skills that all the students in my son’s cohort secured a place at one of their chosen schools, both grammar and independent. I would highly recommend Meena’s tutoring groups to any parents who choose to embark on the 11+ journey.

Having you as a tutor was really challenging at the beginning we thought the amount of work will be too much for our child however after couple of months and having constant feedbacks with you daily we realised you are the best tutor for our child don’t forget we tried more than 10 different tuition places but never satisfied so it was one of the most challenging project we ever did but it was worth every penny and I will always appreciate what you did for us even if my child didn’t get any school although he did get into DAO how he progressed and changed as a intelligent young man Thank you

I’m eternally indebted to you for teaching Prachi and for being the prime reason for getting her into DAO. I was very pleased with the way you imparted your lessons. Though the lessons were held completely online, there was always a personal touch. The resources and homework were more than enough to challenge the children. Prachi was a very happy child under your tutelage.

I had the pleasure of meeting Meena and she was one of the best tutors I have ever engaged with. Her ability to connect and understand her pupils was genuinely excellent, and it made all the difference in their group sessions. Despite having different learning styles and needs, she was able to motivate each of the kids uniquely, which helped them stay engaged and focused. One of the things that impressed me most about Meena was how she provided feedback at the end of each session. She was always clear, concise, and constructive in her comments, which helped parents and kids understand what they were doing well and where improvement was needed. In addition, she provided us with a wide range of materials and resources to help facilitate their progress, which we greatly appreciated. I highly recommend Meena to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and effective tutor. She made a difference in my child’s learning and helped us achieve our goals in a supportive and positive environment.

Attending Meena’s classes was a good experience towards my child’s attempt at the 11+ exams. It was useful for school after 11+ as well. They were in a small focused group and Meena could help my child individually on areas to improve with detailed feedback. She was very aware of which areas to work on based on what the exams would be like. Initially, the group worked on learning and practising concepts and closer to exams towards timing. I was made aware of my child’s progression and what was going on in the lessons.

It was an adventurous experience and the guidance of Meena was like a light house in the middle of the 11+ ocean. The experience was quite intense and challenging, but it was fruitful at the end of the journey. We believe without her assistance we could not have achieved our expected goal in the 11+ abyss. Thanks a Million Meena from the bottom of our hearts for your hard work….

I’m Ozan a student who attended Meena’s lessons , and to be fair and completely honest she saved my life and turned it around for the absolute best . Thanks to her I have developed as a person and now I receive the highest level of education at the Latymer school. Trust me if you go to Meena and follow her education programme and put in the work yourself your child will most definitely get into a grammar school. Honestly I cannot thank her enough. Furthermore she is a very honest person and will not lie to you.

Meena is a very experienced 11+ tutor, with a proven track record, where the outcomes are aimed at the top North London schools only. This high standard of teaching implies a pretty intense tuition schedule(more so in the ultimate year) for the child but also for the parents also as they must work in collaboration with Meena to ensure homework is completed in time and to a high standard. There are a number of pre-requisites that the family should be prepared to adhere to(after all, ultimately it is to the benefit of the child’s chances of achieving the best grades possible) and without question: 1. The inputs required from the parent(s) may sound a bit harsh but in reality lesson time should be kept for actual progressive teaching and the parent duty is to ensure the prescribed hours of homework are actually followed and not wasted. 2. In the modern day of technology, a pre-requisite for the family is to have access to a robust and reliable printer at home such that lesson notes and past papers can be printed without fuss. Added to that is a reasonable level of IT comfort in handling Word, JPEG, Powerpoint, and PDF file formats in relation to opening up the sent documents and printing them. 3. As Meena’s 11+ tuition is a paid-for service for a very experienced tutor, the parents in reality should not expect a “gold service” where everything is done by the tutor and parents to expect little or no contribution to the 11+ process ie. “hands-off”. We are working in a scenario where education is the central product – it is imperative that a good amount of effort and work is required from the child and parents in order to reach their 11+ goals. There is no free lunch, or no pain no gain, figuratively speaking. So to summarise, if the family is prepared to listen to and follow Meena’s guidance, good returns are to be had. In contrast, if the family believes in magic and great things happen because you are paying for a service then please look elsewhere. Only a patient collaboration with Meena will turn out good results. Whilst we are the parents and Meena’s fee-paying customers, in all truths Meena has her own strong reputation as a top tutor to uphold and has every reason to screen for ambitious dedicated children+parents only in the selection process.
