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 more lessons and she thoroughly enjoyed your teaching today and she said you are the best teacher she has ever had . She couldn’t get enough and has been asking for more lessons . 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)." 'Our daughter has just been offered an academic scholarship...Melissa's tutoring was crucial.'21/2/2024 I have seen tremendous improvement in X‘s work over the last year and we both credit your classes for getting him into a really good position. Over the Christmas break, we used the time to work on his handwriting and constantly reading and using a diary as a task, and I’m pleased to say that’s massively improved too. I met with his teacher last week who was extremely complimentary about X and his English. I can’t thank you enough for your extremely warm and generous teaching style which has helped him to enjoy reading and creative writing.
I do say to X all the time how lucky we are to have found you; you are definitely such a positive driving force in so many young lives! Mrs C, Jan 2024 ![]() A wonderful card from an 11+ student! When I read "we'll let our new knowledge shine through whatever we do" I conjured an image of children with brightly glowing heads, packed with knowledge and ideas ready for their next adventure! The hardest part of tutoring is saying goodbye to children but thoughtful cards like this soften the blow. My dog, Bruno, is also delighted to be remembered! A was so proud of herself to win the 'writer of the term' prize at school today. She read her piece with conviction and I couldn't be prouder of her. Thanks so much for all your help. It was as much down to you as it was her today.
Mrs T, 21 June '23 A is being awarded the 'Progress in Maths' prize at the End of Year prize-giving ceremony. Well done to you for all your hard work. Your presence and work has changed A’s life for the better.
Mrs G, 19 June '23 J has throughly enjoyed your classes and we (school and us) have seen a massive improvement in his English language. He’s enjoying reading which he didn’t like doing before; the same with writing stories and now he’s thinking out the box with creative writing. Thank you once again. He will miss you and friends he's made in the classes.
Mrs G, 12 June '23 Some lovely feedback from parents during half term:
“T loves coming to your creative writing class. Your class is brilliant. He learnt a lot from you. He even learnt to do ‘science research’ and wrote a report about beetles last week! That knowledge will not only help him now but in the future. I wish we knew about you earlier. T could have joined your Book Club since Year 3 as he loved reading books since he was young. I'll definitely recommend your classes.” Mr A, 22nd May ‘23 “I now see why A gets so excited. Reading your email about his lesson I want to get up and revise my times tables! Thank you so much for today, like before he has returned pumped up and was so happy telling me what he learnt.” Mrs Q, 30 May ‘23 “Thank you so much, A was chatty and buzzing about your session and so proud of himself especially as he was feeling nervous. Boosting his confidence was exactly what we were after so a successful first session! To quote him directly you were really fun and made English a lot more enjoyable than school!” Mrs P, 31 May ‘23 “My son really loved the lesson and has put in his schedule when he needs to do the homework, really so thrilled he loved it! Thank you so much.” Ms C, 5th June ‘23 Thank you so much for all your work with R. She has thoroughly enjoyed her time in book club and I have seen an improvement in her writing, confidence and overall enjoyment of doing her English homework now since working with you.
