 "My eldest has really enjoyed working his way through this brilliant book, it’s provided hours of fun and learning!
Full of crosswords, puzzles, word-matching games and more, all of the activities are engaging and designed to boost comprehension, build vocabulary, broaden knowledge and deepen understanding. It’s really helped us to make quick progress, strengthen skills and work on problem solving. As a home educating family it’s proved to be an invaluable resource. Great to complete at home or on the go, it’s photocopiable and is perfect for teachers, home educators and parents. Could not recommend this one enough 🙌🏻" Via Instagram

"My daughter has joined Melissa's book club for a year. She loves Melissa's every lesson and she doesn't want to miss any one of them. Over the year, her creative writing skill has been developing through the lessons and the reading of books carefully selected by Melissa. I like the fact that the joy of reading is rooted with the children. Melissa makes connection with the books they read in the lessons which reinforces the learning and the practice of their writing. Melissa is a great teacher. She makes her lessons interesting and engaging. I am really grateful to have her as my daughter's tutor. Thank you for supporting her learning!" Via Google reviews.  Some further exciting outcomes for another student. So far, F has cleared QE, Kent, Essex and Tiffin stage 1! He even gained 100% in maths and reasoning for Kent. F has tutored with me in English and maths for the past couple of years and has been such a joy to work with. I couldn't be prouder! "F has done Kent, Essex, QE and Tiffin tests so far. The results will be released next week, except of QE, which is already known. And, yes, F has cleared QE this the good school, in English bigger than in Maths. I greatly appreciate your hard work to help F to get this achievement." "We have some good news, F has cleared Essex and Kent out of catchment and Tiffin Stage 1. There is in the attachment his Kent results with 100% in Maths and Reasoning."   A wonderful and well-deserved outcome for this student - 18th place out ot 269 children! I only supported H in maths over the summer running up to the exam but through her hard work she absolutely smashed it in all areas! "Dear Mrs Osh, Hope you are doing wel. I would like to share H's 11plus results with you . She came 18th out of 269 children who wrote the entrance for St Michael’s Catholic Grammar School . She scored full marks in verbal and non verbal reasoning . Thank you so much for helping her in achieving this. Your positive feedback you provided helped her build confidence. Thank you. Please see the email confirmation below. This year 269 girls were invited to sit the Entrance Test and H's overall position is 18. The marks in each element of the Entrance Test were out of 141 and H's were as follows: English: 129 Mathematics: 137 Verbal Reasoning: 141 Non-Verbal Reasoning: 141"  I’ve just received the loveliest email from a parent, and it’s absolutely made my day! Her daughter has been coming to my creative writing sessions for the past few months, and her new Y5 teacher is full of praise for her rich vocabulary, creativity, and confidence. So proud of her - what a fantastic start to the year!  "We are so grateful to have found Mrs Osh as a tutor for our son, Kaiden, who is preparing for his 11+ exams. She is truly wonderful – patient, encouraging, and incredibly knowledgeable. From the very first session, she made Kaiden feel at ease and built his confidence step by step. Her teaching style is engaging and tailored perfectly to his needs, and we’ve already noticed a huge improvement not only in his skills but also in his attitude towards learning. Mrs Osh goes above and beyond to make sure her students are well prepared, and she has a genuine passion for seeing them succeed. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough for any parent looking for excellent 11+ support." via Google reviews  "My daughter thoroughly enjoyed her week at the summer camp. Not knowing anyone, she felt safe and happy from the first day! She is still talking about some of the activities. I absolutely love the concept of including learning in to play and will be joining any further camps you put on in the future." via Google reviews   “The summer camp is a big hit - he always looks forward to it.”
Vladimir “My son has thoroughly enjoyed Melissa’s summer camp. He has had lots of fun, loved the sporting and creative activities alongside completing some Maths and English. His confidence has grown which is lovely to witness.” Kate “A lot of fun activities and some English challenges, really love it!” Josie “I don't think my daughter has had so much fun for a whole week ever before. She comes home happy and really excited to go to summer camp every morning. Definitely signing up in advance for next year.” Nihaad “My daughter had a thoroughly enjoyable day! Thank you so much for all the exciting activities that you have got them involved with. I’m glad you’re covering maths and English too, which is brilliant! She was excited to tell us about everything she did. She loved sewing so much I’ll have to buy her a sewing machine :) She thinks that you’re lovely and helpful, as well as the other teachers, Lani and Harry.” Purvi “My daughter really enjoyed her time at summer camp. She particularly loved baking.” Adilah "Thank you so much for making J's week at your summer camp so fantastically fun! Throughout the week J did not need to be prompted to get ready for camp, she would be eagerly waiting by the door ready to go. The daily theme throughout the week kept her interest; the abundance of activities provided much entertainment and continuous learning in many subjects. J's favourites were sewing a bookmark, baking cupcakes, making a robot hand and of course the cosy reading tent with a wide selection of books at hand. J's request at pick up after her first day: ‘I’ve had so much fun. I can’t wait to come back tomorrow.’ And the last day: ‘ It’s been really fun. Can I come back next year?’ sums up best her brilliant time at your camp!" Quy "Our son has been in the 11+ group with Melissa for a year and it’s helped him a lot. He’s making good progress and enjoys the sessions. He also loves the book club, which has improved his creative writing. The summer camp is a big hit too — he always looks forward to it. We definitely carry on for next year. Highly recommend." via Google Reviews  "My son has thoroughly enjoyed Melissa’s summer camp and also 1:1 sessions.

She has been helping her with creative writing, Math, and English, and the progress we’ve seen has been truly impressive. What we appreciate most is Melissa’s patient and engaging teaching style. She makes learning enjoyable and accessible, which has significantly boosted our daughter’s confidence in subjects she once found challenging. Her creative writing has blossomed, her math skills have sharpened, and she approaches English with much more enthusiasm. We’re so grateful for the positive impact Melissa has had on both our daughter’s academic growth and self-esteem. Highly recommended!" via Google Reviews  "I’m grateful for the time, effort, and dedication Melissa put into supporting our daughter’s learning. She is so polite and gentle with students . We truly appreciate her guidance and support with our daughter’s maths tuitions." via Google Reviews  Emails like this from happy parents are wonderful to receive! Lucky me.😍 "Dear Melissa, I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for your kind words about H and her attitude toward her studies. Your positive feedback means a great deal to both of us. I’m grateful for the time, effort, and dedication you put into supporting her learning. Knowing that her hard work and approach have been noticed is incredibly encouraging. Thank you once again for your thoughtful feedback and for all you do to help today . We truly appreciate your guidance and support.

I will book it on the website . Thank you so much." Received via email.  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." Received via Google Reviews   This wonderful success story was the result of teamwork between the parents, the child and myself. Constant communication and mutual understanding led to a superb outcome for this student's 11+ entrance exams.
"Mrs. Osh is an exceptional tutor who has been an invaluable part of my daughter's academic journey since Year 4. Melissa is highly knowledgeable and patient. She takes the time to explain concepts clearly, ensuring that each topic is understood before moving on. Her sessions are always engaging and enjoyable, making learning feel fun. The shared love of reading between Melissa and my daughter created a wonderful bond. If you're looking for a skilled, patient, and supportive tutor, I recommend Mrs. Osh!" via Google Reviews
I am so grateful to receive such positive feedback about my new Times Tables Programme! Would definitely recommend Mrs Osh - lots of thought goes into lesson plans, content and feedback and found the sessions have definitely helped. The Times Tables programme has also been practical, helpful and easy to follow! via Facebook Reviews 
A huge thank you to Mrs Patel for taking the time to write this wonderful review for my new Times Tables Programme on Google: Is your child struggling with recalling their times tables? If they are I highly recommend Mrs.Osh Mastering Times Table programme. It’s an absolute game-changer for helping children master their multiplication facts. Whether your child is just starting out or has struggled with remembering times tables in the past, this 8-week programme is carefully designed to build their confidence and ensure instant recall. The structure is fantastic – weekly emails deliver engaging downloadable resources, regular testing, and even bonus content during revision weeks to keep everything fresh and fun. My child had great fun doing the crossword puzzles. It’s evident that so much thought has gone into making this programme both effective and enjoyable for kids. The introductory price of £9.99 is incredible value for the quality of resources and support you receive. My child’s confidence and approach to multiplication has been brilliant. Definitely give the programme a try! via Google Reviews    The hardest part is letting go...especially a student who I first taught in Y1 when she spoke only Russian and is now in Y8 with English skills of a Y10 student. Such an impressive commitment to learning and an exciting future ahead. For the last year and a half, she has received 4 hours of English tuition from me per week and I couldn't be more proud of what she has achieved.
Her dad subsequently emailed to add: "I would like to thank you once again for your work with C. She made great progress in writing (and careful reading) during this year-and-a-half, and also had a chance to discuss a variety of interesting subjects in literary English. In addition, your lessons were an island of stability for Chiara amid all the turbulent events (particularly, when we just came here and she found herself in a completely new environment)." |
