Ms Hans taught me through the 80's and 90's and now she is teaching my children who are 7 and 5. Due to the lockdown, I could not imagine stopping lessons and we have been doing zoom lessons. I was a bit worried about how a 5 year old will adjust to zoom lessons. But everything has been going really well. Ms Hans understands the psychology of a child; she is intitutive and positions herself to get the best out of a child. My kids have made great progress through their learning during lockdown in all their core subjects, maths, english and science. The resourses Ms Hans uses are effective to engage and challenge children. She is firm but fair; my kids are always looking forward to the lessons. Recently, she has been awarded Certificate of Excellence in teaching. I would add to it: if anybody is an architect of a private lesson, it is Ms Hans. I would recommended her wholeheartedly.
This testimonial is for Ms Hans who helped us with our 10 years old daughter. We contacted Ms Hans way back in Nov 2018 while we were looking for a specialist teacher to help our daughter in her academics (especially in Maths, English and creative writing) with not just by filling the gaps but also to install confidence to appear for 11plus exams. It was one of the best decisions we took in recent times – Ms Hans not only used the methodological approach to identify the areas of improvement in her but also came up with plan to overcome them, supported her, motivated her using various approaches and worked with her throughout the 16 months journey enabling her passing the exams of ALL three schools she appeared for. Ms Hans is a dedicated, committed and excellent teacher who knows the child psychology and we truly hope we have more such professionals around to bring positive change in children.
We chose Mrs Hans only going by the reviews and her background. It turned out to be a very good decision. Our 5/6 year old was struggling at school (late bloomer + young for his year + easily distracted), and was 'Working Behind' on most of the core areas. Since he started (now 5 months) we have seen not only good progress with both maths and English, but a continued interest in going to his lessons with Mrs Hans. he enjoys his learning, finds it fun and has become a proud learner and much more confident at school. He is still a little behind, but I think he has caught up on a lot of ground over summer and hopefully we will see him grow even more now that he is back at school. The things we like: topics are very closely aligned to curriculum so we recognise the topics when they appear in school homework, small amounts on each topic, good attention to detail in areas like handwriting - as a result he has received praise at school for his handwriting, fun approach to topics, allowing us to do numbers in the car (mentally). Things we are looking forward to: more independent approach to doing work at home (we hope this will come soon), catching up at school and even perhaps excelling in a few areas (giving him some well deserved confidence).
Ms Han has helped my kids enormously throughout the year. They have made dramatic progress. She knew how to set up teaching target to suit the children's special needs. She is very good at being strict as well as supportive. We strongly recommend her to all the prospective students. Thank you Ms Hans!

Many thanks, Lanning - your time is much appreciated. And, your boys worked hard as well. Of course, your support has helped them too.
Ms Hans has been teaching my daughter since she was in year 5. I tried various tution centres; the fee for these centres was low as teaching was done in large groups but it did not work for me. Ms Hans was introduced to me through one of her student's parents . Ever since we met her, we haven't looked back. I also had my second daughter join. Now my daughters are in year 7 and 8 still studying with Ms Hans. She has helped to raise their confidence by teaching them skills of organisation and planning and learning how-to-learn. Besides teaching Maths and English, Ms Hans has taught them how to value time and making use of it while you have it. I am pleased to say that my daughters have progressed tremendously and the support that she has provided is commendable. I wish Ms Hans all the best for future.

Hi Irfan, many thanks for the lovely review. So sorry for not having responded earlier. I appreciate the time you have taken to do this. It really helps when new parents are looking for a tutor; thanks again.
Hope the girls are doing well. Don't hesitate to contact again if you ever need to.
Regards

Ms Hans prepared my son for entrance exams who managed to get through successfully. Her approach to teaching and manner had everything that I was looking for. She sets guidelines in the start so pupil can adopt the appropriate pattern of learning from the very beginning. At the same time, she was very encouraging which lifted my son's confidence and morale. She set regular homework and expected it to be completed in high standards by the following lesson. Besides the content of work, she laid strong emphasis on good handwriting, presentation and organisation of work. I must say, this greatly helped my son to enjoy his school work more; he could focus on the subject at hand with greater ease. Ms Hans was strict, professional but friendly. She gave us honest feedback on how my son was doing; she was never short of time when it came to meeting with me. I would highly recommend her for any educational need of any child wishing her the best on her future endeavours....."

Shazia, thank you for giving me an opportunity to teach your son. It was equally his effort and your support that got him there. I wish him all the best for his remaining years at school and beyond.

My 16 year old son attended mrs Hans lessons, she was very nice, positive and supportive and my son was happy to attend. I would gladly recommend her classes to anyone considering a tutor.

Hi Fiona, thanks for a lovely review. Sorry for not having responded earlier. The house move was extremely traumatic but finally settled now, thankfully :-) Hope Alfie got through well with his GCSEs. And probably, A levels are also through by now or something parallel of the sort.
Thanks again.
Best wishes
Ms Hans
Mrs Hans gave tuition to my son at the end of year 4 for a few months, and the aim was to improve his English. And to be honest the results we got are better then our expectations, as my son is more confident and can do his school homework without any hep and his school teacher is happy too with his improvement.
I Will recommend Mrs Hans 100%.

Thank you, Vikas, but in all fairness, Krish worked hard too. It is a team effort. Thank you for your support too for making the progress happen.
Best wishes
Ms Hans
Ms Hans has tutored our son for his 11+ exams in the core subjects of Maths and English and he trained him for verbal and non-verbal reasoning too. The results were simply outstanding with offers from all the top private, selective schools he applied too. She is a passionate teacher who has been able to forge a special relationship with our son based on respect and support. She displays enthusiasm for the subject she is teaching and a desire to share her knowledge. She adapted her teaching strategies according to our son’s needs and subjects. She has been very focused not only in providing the tools to perform well in a test environment but offering a general learning method for understanding, critical-thinking and problem-solving. She has been fantastic in setting clear goals and providing high-quality feedback to all of us with her impeccable and charming manners. She is interested in helping the children to use their abilities at their best, carefully supporting their personal growth and encouraging their independence and organisational skills. She has been and still is (as she is now tutoring our younger child) an excellent teacher and mentor for our children and a real blessing for the whole family. Thank you Ms Hans!!
We utterly recommend her to any family looking for a reliable, professional, knowledgeable and gentle-mannered tutor.

Thank you so much; I really do appreciate the feedback. I too have enjoyed teaching your older son; in all fairness to him, these results would have not been possible without his conscientious and tireless effort. And, the credit goes equally to you for the endless support you provided during the two years. Thank you once again for your time and be assured, I look forward to achieving the desired results for your younger child too.
Ms Hans is very experinced person as per my experience. she exactly knows where is the child is lacking behind and then work on his weak points. time management is the key.lots of study material and fun ways to teach and keep childs moral up by always encouraging them in a different ways.
