"Academic scholarship at a top independent school."

I am hugely proud of these twins who both gained an academic scholarship at one of the most prestigious schools in the country. It was wonderful to be a part of their journey. Here's what their dad had to say:

"We approached Melissa to help with our boys 11+ exam preparation and in particular creative writing. We tried to motivate the boys to get better at creative writing, but we just couldn’t spark their interest. Fast forward and the boys have just managed to get themselves an academic scholarship at a top independent school where one of the tests they sat was on creative writing. We have Melissa to thank for this. She is not only a brilliant teacher, but she has a way of engaging children, and a way of not only bringing out the best in them but also helping them realise their potential, and she found a way to spark our children's interest to the point where the boys started to enjoy and look forward to creative writing tasks. She did this in various ways such as her book club where she introduced them to a wide genre of books from Everest to Podkin One Ear, by breaking down the elements and how to approach writing a great story, by setting them varied tasks that enthused them, helping improve their spelling, grammar, punctuation, and vocabulary, and by giving them feedback in a way which inspired them to do better. Her demeanour, teaching methods combined with her personality meant the boys looked forward to her lessons and were motivated to complete the tasks set by her.

Thank you Melissa."
