"Thank you Hettie for EVERYTHING x"
We owe Hettie everything! We would recommend her in a heart beat to anyone.
In October of last year, we approached Hettie and gave her the unenviable task of helping to prepare our two children (then aged 8 and 10) for UK entrance exams in a very short 2.5-month timeframe. At this point our children had only ever been taught in Swiss in the local Swiss system; with a curriculum that was at least 2 years behind the UK system.
From the outset we felt confident that Hettie would do everything she could to help us, despite most children coming to Hettie for help at least a year in advance and with a UK-system brackground.
Hettie was always friendly, calm, relaxed, patient, punctual, professional, a great communicator both during lessons and in between lessons by email and incredibly flexible and receptive to the fact we were both full-time working parents. Hettie tutored remotely from the UK to our home in Switzerland with great ease and has brilliant systems in place to teach remotely. Above all our children loved her lessons and both respected her and responded brilliantly to her teaching techniques.
I am pleased to say both our children passed their entrance exams and started at their new school (their first choice) today. Once their exams were over in January, we continued with Hettie's tuition all the way through to the Summer holidays to help bridge their gap in knowledge.
We would not hesitate to work with Hettie again in the future if either of our children needed some extra help.
Hettie was without a shadow of a doubt instrumental in helping our children secure a place at their preferred school.
Thank you Hettie for EVERYTHING x

"Tuition with Hettie"
As we are expats returning from France to the UK, we contacted Hettie to get tuition for our two children for the 11+ entrance exams. We were very impressed by the amount of information and guidance she gave as we were unfamiliar with the school system. Lessons were really engaging, never rushed, and the addition of the homework she set and marked really helped get through the topics thoroughly. We would not hesitate to recommend Hettie/Beam to any expats looking for a tutor to help them ease back into the UK system. She is a lovely person and always goes the extra mile.

"Really great tutor!"
Hettie was a massive help improving our son's confidence and skills around English. She also identified that he might have dyslexia which led to us getting an assessment and getting him the right support. Hettie helped him get into his current school, which he really enjoys. She has a great manner with children and her lessons and homework have really good structure.
