"Catherine provided tutoring to our son through 2024 in advance of his 11+ examination. Her enthusiasm and knowledge made the whole process enjoyable for the whole family. Home work was clear and feedback prompt. Our son very much enjoyed working with Catherine and we would certainly have no hesitation in recommending her."
Duncan (parent)
"A fantastic and effective tutor! A big thank you to Catherine for all the hard work you have done with our son. He has become more confident in his overall ability and has applied it to his academic performance. You were always there to give him the extra support when needed, which helped him realise his potential. He will miss you dearly ❤️."

"I approached Catherine in a rather desperate state. My daughter was dreading her weekly sessions with her tutor and with 6 months to go, we were all feeling despondent and deflated about the 11+ exam. Catherine was willing to take my daughter on as one of her students and it changed everything for us. Suddenly my daughter looked forward to her lessons and came out of them brimming with confidence. Catherine perfected the balance of keeping a tight ship, and keeping it light and fun - knowing the importance of having both. I so often smiled at my daughter's giggles echoing from the room during her lessons. Regardless of whether my daughter passes or fails (the jury is still out on that), I am pleased my daughter got to spend time with Catherine and learn from her. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. I have already booked her to tutor my second daughter in September 2025, which I suppose it the best recommendation of all."

"My daughter loved working with Catherine in her 11+ preparation. She looked forward to the weekly sessions, which were fun and engaging. Catherine would tailor the lessons to my daughter’s needs and was both encouraging and supportive. My daughter felt relaxed and at ease during her sessions, and Catherine was always available to discuss any concerns or answer questions we had as parents."
Sarah (parent)
"I can honestly say choosing Catherine to tutor our son for the 11+ was the best decision. Since she started working with him in September 2023 we have seen improvements in his schoolwork, his confidence and I genuinely feel he will do his very best in the 11+ as a result of her help and support.
She is the perfect mix of funny and engaging and firm when needed. She challenges, praises him and brings out the absolute best in him whilst keeping me sane as well.
I would definitely recommend her, in fact I'd say do it now before someone else snaps her up!"
Carrie (parent)
"Thank you so much Catherine for the support you gave our daughter through her 11+ preparation. Your obvious knowledge and experience was so reassuring for us as parents and your kind, warm, fun and engaging approach was wonderful for our daughter who looked forward to her sessions with you. It is no mean feat to make learning fun but you managed it with ease. Throughout her time with you, our daughter’s confidence grew and she mastered skills she had previously struggled with. It helped her not just with the 11+ preparation but with her learning generally and she went into the 11+ test feeling calm because she was so well prepared. She is still benefitting from the skills you gave her now as she goes through year 6, you gave her a real boost. I cannot thank you enough."
Claire (parent)
"I’m so grateful to Catherine for the tuition of my son for his 11+ as she not only delivered all of the academic elements required with exceptional planning of each session, has a wealth of experience that she seamlessly and enthusiastically communicates, but primarily because she connected with my son on a personal level providing him with much needed confidence and belief. I cannot recommend Catherine highly enough."
Lee (parent)
"My Son attended Catherine's 11+ Revision course over Summer 2024 and it was a fantastic way to get my Son focussed and motivated for the actual test, which took place quite recently.
Catherine also provided my Son with 1:1 tuition during that period and her knowledge of the subjects required for the test and her expertise, are evident. Catherine gently nurtures her pupils to be confident in their abilities and helps to guide them to achieve the very best results they can.
Catherine is a very experienced Tutor, and her knowledge of the Bucks 11+ requirements was invaluable to us. Catherine's lessons were well structured and prepared for and at the same time engaging and fun. I also enjoyed all my interactions with Catherine. She's lovely!
I have absolutely no reservations in recommending Catherine Lowe Tuition to all parents and children, working towards achieving a great 11+ result."
Anabel (parent)
"Catherine is the most wonderful Tutor. I cannot praise her highly enough! She built on our daughter’s confidence every week making her lessons fun and engaging as well as full of content. She is so caring and supports the parents as much as the children. She is quite simply amazing and my daughter now misses her as do I!!"
Rachel (parent)
"We struck gold when we found Catherine, she is the most amazing tutor and that is because she cares so much. She made all of the lessons fun and engaging, she recognised the strengths in our child and used these to build her confidence throughout the year. She built such a rapport and bond that she actually looked forward to seeing her each week. Her teaching style is quite simply excellent and she simplified the areas that we found more difficult and also taught strategies to questions which built both skill and confidence.
The other aspect of Catherine which is fantastic is how supportive she is to parents, it can be quite a stressful process and she was always there to provide advice, guidance and reassurance for us as which was completely invaluable.
Some people were just born to teach, Catherine is one of those people, she loves what she does and that is evident in the passion and compassion that she shows in every lesson. We could not recommend her highly enough and feel very fortunate we all met her."
Rachel (parent)
"Over the last 12 months Catherine had been invaluable in nurturing our daughters ability and confidence in learning. We had doubled up with our daughter’s school friend for weekly sessions and Catherine was naturally able to strike the right balance of maintaining both of her students focus and attention throughout the weekly sessions, whilst ensuring the girls always felt at ease to ask questions and seek support whenever needed."
