I have known Bernie Conway and Jane Lihou since 2008 and they are both the most professional and dedicated teachers you could find. They go above and beyond in terms of lesson preparation and getting to know each pupil's needs and then tailoring their lessons to the pupils' requirements. They have an excellent and detailed knowledge of what is asked for at 11+ and 13+ pre-test exams. They are very experienced and are always open to new ideas. They communicate very well with parents and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Testimonials

Ms Conway and Mrs Lihou were instrumental in helping prepare both my boys for their 11+ exams, and never hesitated to provide them -and me - with additional assistance as needed. In consequence both boys performed extremely well and received offers to interview from their top choice schools. I would not hesitate to engage their services again in the future as needed.

“It would be hard to find two more outstanding teachers than Jane Lihou and Bernie Conway.

For me it was a great privilege to work with them. They are warm, friendly and positive teachers who have the ability to get the best out of children. Bernie and Jane bring a wealth of classroom experience and both are very strong in pastoral as well as academic aspects of education. I commend them both without reservation."

Former Deputy Head of Lyndhurst House Prep School.

My two sons were taught by Mrs Lihou and and Ms Conway at school. Each inspired the boys with a natural love of learning and a keenness for their subject. Separately, they are both patient, nurturing and no-nonsense people with a passion for their subject and an ability to warmly encourage the kids, instilling confidence and a sense of pride in a job well done. They work hard to ensure they really know your kids, what makes them tick, how they will learn best and what they need as individuals. Together, they make a formidable team.
They really know their 11+. They guided me through not just the process itself but the emotional stress that comes with it. They were always on hand and able to provide clarity, calm and keep me buoyant through what is a testing time for both the parents and the kids. I can’t recommend them enough.

"Both my sons have had the pleasure of being taught by Ms Conway who is a caring and passionate teacher with high standards. Throughout lockdown, I watched/listened in on the online lessons given by Ms Conway and was impressed by her patience and ability to explain and help the children complete the work assigned. She gives adequate attention to each and every child and I have seen vast improvements in both my sons' academic achievements"

Ms Conway has been instrumental in my son’s 11+ preparation. A wonderful teacher, she is kind, supportive and patient. She has encouraged my son to be tenacious and has given him a fantastic sense of self confidence. I highly recommend her and Tutorsquared.

Jane and Bernie were the foundation in the making of my son Oliver and the very best teachers you could wish for. They are not only excellent teachers with a wealth of knowledge but also exceedingly kind and encouraging individuals who bring the best out in pupils. It has truly been a privilege knowing them and we will be ever grateful to have been taught by two amazing teachers. My son is now 20 and he still talks kindly about his prep school years. I wish them all the success they truly deserve.
