Comprehensive diagnostic evaluation revealing cognitive strengths and strategic preparation requirements

THE EDUCATION BEYOND EXPERIENCE

"Faizel has been working with my daughter for a year now to help her grow in confidence and ability with maths and English. She has never sighed or complained — she happily jumps on zoom and has grown so much in confidence. She tells me that maths and English are her favourite subjects. I am shocked that on a Friday night she quietly wants to crack on with his homework whilst it is 'fresh in her mind'. Happiness for me comes first and with Faizel this is what has happened. Thanks Faizel!"

Mother of an 8 year old daughter, Barnes, London

"Faizel worked with me to help me prepare for the 11+. I am most proud of being able to stay calm throughout the process and this is all because of my coaching sessions with Faizel. I learnt how capable I am of controlling how I think and feel. I understand that if I think and act in a positive manner, my outcome is more likely to be positive - the opposite is also true. I now know that how I think, act and behave will prove how amazing I am!"

— 11 year old student, Chelsea, London

"Faizel's contribution to the 8+ process has been immense. We believed that our son was capable of successfully sitting 8+ entrance exams and Faizel was fully supportive of our viewpoint. He encouraged us to trust our judgement. Through focused yet whimsical weekly lessons, our son's writing creativity was spectacularly unlocked. All aspects of his composition work are now at a very high level and he has a genuine love for different forms of writing. We are over the moon that our son received a place at his first choice school, St Paul's. We cannot speak highly enough of Faizel!"

We began working with Faizel about a year and a half before our daughter's 11+ assessments. Faizel's assessment highlighted her strengths and developmental priorities. Weekly sessions built conceptual mastery alongside examination readiness and technique. She secured a place at our first choice school, Godolphin & Latymer. More importantly, she's developed the identity of a confident learner.
— M.H., Mother of a 10-year-old daughter, Knightsbridge
Our son's 8+ preparation began in the Autumn term prior to his exams. Faizel quickly identified that our son had the requisite knowledge, but needed to focus on working under timed conditions. Throughout the term, sessions focused on developing his exam technique and the coaching element completely transformed his composure. We were delighted that he secured a place at St. Paul's, our first choice school!
— J.P., Father of 8-year-old son, Sloane Square
Relocating from Dubai required specialist 11+ entry support. Faizel conducted remote consultation and assessment, followed by intensive preparation once we arrived. He addressed UK curriculum gaps whilst building confidence within a new educational context, using regular mock assessments to track progress. Our daughter secured her place at St Paul’s Girls’ School with assurance and readiness.

Six-month 7+ preparation for Sussex House from Wetherby. Faizel's assessment revealed processing difficulties we hadn't recognised. Twice-weekly sessions addressed this and developed examination technique. He adapted his approach as our son progressed. Secured places at Sussex House and The Hall—chose Sussex House where he's thriving.
— R.K., Father of 7-year-old son, Chelsea
Faizel has been working with our son for a year. His extensive experience as senior teacher and Headteacher proved invaluable from the outset, yet I remain particularly impressed with the thoroughness of his approach. He has addressed substantial subject content across varying complexity levels with patience and continuous encouragement, providing detailed progress feedback throughout. The impact on our son's confidence has been profound—his development in mathematics and creative writing has been remarkable.
— T.D., Boy aged 11, Mayfair
Faizel's engagement with my son has been exceptional—developing his writing capabilities through an approach that proved both enjoyable and highly effective. Faizel is a remarkably kind, patient, and inspiring educator. He came highly recommended, and I am delighted to say he exceeded our expectations. Our son secured his place at Westminster Under School, and we are immensely grateful for Faizel's role in this achievement.

We relocated from Istanbul when our daughter was in Year 4, with limited familiarity with the British independent school system. Faizel guided us from school selection through to successful placement, identifying curriculum gaps whilst recognising her academic strengths. He supported her academic preparation, building her confidence within an unfamiliar educational context. Our daughter secured a place at Francis Holland School, Sloane Square, approaching the assessments with a composure we hadn’t imagined possible.
