We wholeheartedly recommend Petra as a tutor. She is highly experienced and adapts her teaching methods to meet the individual needs of her students. We were particularly impressed by Petra’s thorough approach and willingness to work with us to support our daughter. Her patient, methodical approach and gentle encouragement create a supportive and motivating learning environment. We have been delighted with the quality of Petra’s teaching and her professionalism, and would confidently recommend her to anyone seeking a dedicated and caring tutor. Joanna & Philip

Choosing Petra was one of the best decisions we made for our son. Petra doesn’t just teach the 11+. She prepares the whole child. She showed our son exactly what to focus on and how to study smarter, not just harder. She also thought about the things most tutors never mention: getting enough sleep, keeping a calm routine, and even what to eat on exam day. Nothing was left to chance. What really sets her apart is how she brings parents into the process. After every session we received clear, thoughtful feedback on what he had covered, where he was strong and what to work on next. She gave us practical ways to support him at home, so we always knew how to help without adding pressure. The change in our son was remarkable. He became more confident, more organised and genuinely motivated, and he walked into his exam calm and ready. Petra is warm, patient, organised and truly invested in every child she teaches. If you want a tutor who cares as much about your child as you do, choose Petra. Thank you, Petra, from all of us.

Petra was an exceptionally patient, organised, and methodical tutor who provided excellent support to our son throughout his 11+ preparation. She structured each lesson carefully and ensured that he had sufficient material and practice to reinforce every topic covered in class. She set clear weekly workloads, which helped him stay focused and consistent with his preparation. Her approach enabled him to develop a strong understanding of each topic and, importantly, retain and apply what he had learned. We were extremely pleased with his results and are very grateful for Petra’s dedication and support. We would highly recommend Petra to any parent looking for a committed, knowledgeable, and effective tutor.

Petra has been such an amazing tutor for my daughter’s 11 plus She is knowledge, plan and prepare lessons and homework in advance, my daughter has made a great progress due to Petra’s excellent work Highly recommended

Put simply, having Petra as my daughter’s tutor was the best decision we made with regards to our 11+ preparation. Although my daughter was having weekly tutoring at an 11+ centre, the concepts were not being taught in a clear and coherent way. I looked around and spoke to many, many tutors but none of them felt right. Realised I needed to get the decision right and thankfully, I rather luckily, stumbled on Petra’s profile. After speaking to Petra for literally 2 minutes in our initial chat, I knew that I would have zero hesitation in committing for the entire year. Petra brings a calm, razor focus and a simple but clear way of learning that my daughter loved. Any difficult concepts that we encountered during the week was marked down for Petra, who taught them seamlessly and clearly. As well as the above, I really do think having Petra as my daughters tutor was a complete game changer for an additional three reasons: 1) Whilst the 11+ centre was effective for repetition and continuous learning, they simply don’t have the same level of teaching quality and an ability to ‘explain the concepts’ as someone like Petra. If you want your child to ‘actually’ understand those teething issues you need a brilliant tutor like Petra who can do exactly that. 2) The 11+ journey is both hard and worthy, in equally measure. In that journey you need to have a seasoned and trusted individual who has ‘been there and done it’. Petra is that person, hands down. 3) My daughter loved being taught by Petra. In every single lesson, the difficulties around certain concepts were removed. It was actually delightful to experience. For any prospective parent thinking about an 11+ tutor please don’t waste your time. Engage with Petra and guaranteed that you will not regret it. Good luck in your journey.

We have been extremely impressed with the support Petra has given our son. She is dedicated, thorough and exceptionally well prepared, always taking the time to understand what is needed and offering thoughtful, practical advice. What has stood out particularly is Petra’s flexibility and ability to adapt to our son’s individual needs. Her sessions are warm and encouraging, while remaining focused and purposeful. She has a wonderful way of building confidence while keeping progress firmly on track. We are very grateful for the guidance, care and expertise Petra has provided, and would highly recommend her to any family looking for a committed, supportive and excellent tutor.

Petra is truly one of the most dedicated and hands-on teachers we’ve had the pleasure of working with. We honestly feel lucky to have found her for our son. From the very beginning Petra showed real care and effort in understanding his unique situation and what he needed. Moving from the Montessori system in India to a UK primary school was a big change for him—especially since he missed a grade during the move—and he faced both academic and emotional challenges. Petra stepped into this space with kindness, patience, and incredible skill. She gave him support that was perfectly tailored to his needs, always knowing exactly how to help him move forward. What impressed us most was her ability to balance high academic standards with emotional reassurance—guiding him gently but steadily through this tough transition. She truly felt like a blessing at a crucial time, handling everything with great care and understanding. Equally important was how Petra supported us as parents. She always took the time to guide us on how to support him at home, helping us reinforce what he was learning in a way that worked well with her teaching, rather than conflicting. Her teaching materials are outstanding—thoughtful, well-structured, and engaging. We could see the time and effort she puts into creating resources that really boost our son’s confidence and progress. We are deeply thankful for Petra’s dedication, professionalism, and genuine kindness. Her impact on our son's learning and well-being has been truly meaningful and lasting.

Petra has been wonderful with my son during his 11+ preparation. She put in so much effort and was always available whenever I needed her. She replied as soon as she saw my message. She worked hard with him, supported him, and kept me updated throughout. My son is now eligible to enter the grammar school, and we are very proud of his progress. I’m truly grateful. Thank you, Petra. I really recommend her
