What our customers are saying about us…

“We have greatly appreciated your sound advice and trusted counsel over the last three years. The Yellowbird courses really inspired Bobby and he always enjoyed spending time there, even though it was the school holidays! A huge credit to the teachers who you work with and the thoughtful content of the courses. Bobby was properly prepped by the time he sat the exams which is a huge credit to you and the Yellowbird team.”

“We never expected to be in the position we found ourselves in with so many strong offers. Making the final choice has been one of the hardest decisions of our lives! We received offers from King’s (Sports Scholarship), Whitgift (Headmaster’s Scholarship), Hampton, Alleyn’s (Sports Scholarship), Wellington and Charterhouse. We have decided that he will join Whitgift in September and a lot of the credit for his Headmaster’s Scholarship (recognising both his excellence in Academics and Sport) must go to you for the huge support that you have given him in his English. We are delighted and extremely proud parents!”

“All three of my children have benefited from Yellowbird over the last five years across the entire range of courses.  While each course is different and the teachers may vary, the quality of the tuition, the level of engagement and the enthusiasm never changes. I don’t know how they do it, but somehow they manage to make Handwriting courses and Writing courses fun! My kids happily went to the holiday courses came away with new skills and greater confidence. I highly recommend Yellowbird to any family looking for extra tuition for their child as they go into their exams.”

Mrs H, Parent

“Glad to report that Ethan has been accepted to St Paul’s Junior. Thank you so much for you and your team as I definitely see Ethan has improved so much on his work over the last 2 terms. The group learning environment helps motivate the children and the teacher (Miss Stephanie) was just so wonderful and engaging.”

Mrs D , 7+ Exam prep and workshops student

“Our daughter did the writing week this Easter. She did not want to go at first. It went so well that now she loves writing and she said that the class really makes her enjoy writing. I can’t believe how much she wrote and learnt in only one week. The teacher is amazing. Well done and we will do it again. Thank you so much.”

“The Mock exams gave us clarity in the areas where our daughter needed practice. We were able to confidently track her progress from June through to January, ensuring she was making the necessary improvements. The Mocks gave us excellent feedback and calmed all of our nerves!”

“Magic Link Handwriting has absolutely transformed my children’s handwriting. The program is exceptional – easy to follow and methodical in its approach. I have seen outstanding progress in the legibility of my children’s writing and their confidence continues to grow as the program develops.”

Mrs B, Wandsworth UK on Handwriting

“Booking the handwriting course is the best thing I’ve ever done for my son. I did not know that he would benefit from the course as much as he has done. The more he writes, the neater his writing becomes!”

Handwriting mum

“For years our son suffered with poor handwriting, and looking back, his school didn’t know how to deal with it. He recently moved to secondary school and he was becoming more anxious, concerned that teachers/examiners wouldn’t be able to read his work. The Magic Link handwriting system has completely transformed his handwriting. Starting with the basics of how to properly hold a pencil/pen (our son is left handed) all the way through to how to produce neat, joined-up writing, this program has worked fantastically for us.”

Mr R, London UK on Handwriting

“Yellowbird are a fantastic team and are super helpful, clear, direct and concise with their advice and guidance. They are a great team and understand the requirements of the various schools in London.

Thank you for all the help with our son, It has been a valuable experience working with you all and he has loved attending yellowbird regularly on Sundays as well as additional holiday courses & interview prep session.”

Mr R, London UK on Handwriting

“Our son did the Creative Writing Course with Yellowbird and after just a week, we saw a huge improvement in his story writing skills.”

Parent on Creative Writing

“It only took a day with the irrepressible Mr Viv for my daughter to be hooked. She walked out of the workshop exclaiming, “I LOVE writing!” I nearly fell over. This same child had loathed writing for most of her school career. We are extremely pleased with not only her newfound love of writing but also the practical skills and strategy she can now take back to school with her. Thank you, Yellowbird!”

Mrs S, London UK on Handwriting

“Both my daughter and myself felt more prepared to face the interviews with confidence. Many of the questions from the workshop came up and my daughter was able to answer questions with ease.”

Mum on Interview Skills

“Interview Practice with Janie was both professional and enlightening! We had no idea what to expect of the interviews. Both my daughter and myself felt more prepared to face the interviews with confidence. Many of the questions that we talked through came up and my daughter was able to answer questions with ease. She gained places at all her schools including St Pauls girls, Godolphin and Latymer Upper.”

Mrs R, Chelsea on Interview Practice

“My daughter did really well in her 11+ exams. She was offered all the schools she sat – Surbiton High School, Putney High School, Wimbledon High School, Godolphin and LEH. We have accepted a sports scholarship at Putney and she is over the moon! Many thanks for the role you played in helping her achieve her potential.”

Mrs M, London on Interview Preparation

“The mock exams were incredibly useful and we now know which areas to concentrate on over the next two months. This has also helped us to know which schools to aim for.”

Mum on Mock Exams

“Your patience and support through the Mock exams helped our son to gain confidence and trust that he could succeed. He gained places in 3 different schools.”

Mrs S, Clapham on Mock Exams

“The plan of action as to what to do next made us gather our thoughts and focus on what was really needed. We knew what we are working towards and our son got in to his preferred school, thank you so much.”

Mrs S, Fulham on School Prep

“I had no idea which schools my daughter could possibly sit at. The assessment helped us to have a better idea of where she could gain entry, what she would need to do to gain entry and the areas she needed to improve in. To actually be given a list of schools was invaluable.”

Mrs R, Chelsea on Assessments

“The assessment really helped us to take the steps needed to ensure our son was ready for the exams. I had no idea where he was placed within his year group and how much he needed to know. The list of schools was also extremely useful.”

Mr and Mrs W, Fulham on Assessments

“We strongly believe that verbal and non-verbal reasoning can be taught and that children who become familiar with this type of testing will do better on the day.”

On Verbal and Non Verbal Reasoning

“Our daughter received twelve offers for 11+ schools. Thanks again for your teams’ support. We will be back soon with our son!” -offers including: Godolphin & Latymer, South Hampstead High, Putney High and Highgate.”

Mrs W on School Prep

“I’m glad to report that my son (7+) has been accepted into St Pauls Junior (first choice). Thank you so much to you and your team, as I have definitely seen a major improvement in my son’s work over the last two terms of Sunday Exam Prep. The group learning environment has helped to motivate him and the teacher was so wonderful and engaging.”

Mrs C on School Prep

“Couldn’t have done it without you!”

Mrs M on getting accepted into St Paul’s Junior

“Thank you to Yellowbird for guiding and supporting my daughter along the way. Appreciation goes to Miss Emma especially, for her patience and encouragement. She has truly enjoyed coming to Yellowbird every weekend. Offers from Bute House and Latymer.”

Mrs Z on School Prep

“We would like to thank Yellowbird for all the help and support provided at every steps of our son’s 7+ preparation journey.
He enjoyed his Sunday exam preparation classes as well as the holiday courses. Magic link handwriting classes helped him to improve his handwriting skills and we found the mock exams very beneficial to see which areas we need to practice more.

Finally we are very happy that he got firm offers from Kings College Wimbledon, St Paul’s Junior and Westminster under Schools.

Even after the exams we didn’t feel alone Miss Janie gave us her advice to make our final decision. We would recommend Yellowbird Education wholeheartedly to all parents who would like to have a comprehensive, well-structured and professional exam preparation for their children.”
