Griffin Teaching Opiniões 

Excellent support and highly approachable team. Any concerns are dealt with quickly and supportively and the positive approach to tutoring, revision and exam prep is great. The year of tutoring was managed easily with one class a week and minimum homework. Revision programme provided over the summer was also manageable and Hayley is always available for a call if needed. Much appreciated!

I can't say enough good things about Hayley and team at Griffin and feel so grateful to have found them. They offer above and beyond anything a standard 11+ tutor can with extensive book and reading lists, carefully tailored revision materials and resources, pastoral care - and all whilst keeping in mind that there is a 10 year old child at the heart of this and making learning and work outside of the classroom manageable and sensible around their normal, family lives.

I can't thank Hayley, Sian and team enough and would not hesitate to recommend this fabulous club to anyone looking for high-quality Kent Test preparation and support.

We came to Griffin Teaching after two different people recommended Hayley to us, and they were absolutely right! Hayley and her team have been amazing throughout our whole 11+ journey!

What I loved most was how personal everything felt. The support was really tailored to our child, with a fantastic revision programme that focused on working smart rather than just working endlessly like a robot! Hayley really understands that children need breaks, encouragement and confidence just as much as they need practice.

She is also incredibly approachable and has always been there to answer questions, give advice or reassure us along the way. You really feel supported as a parent too.

We’re so grateful to Hayley and the whole team and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Griffin Teaching to anyone starting their 11+ journey.

I cannot recommend Hayley and Griffin Teaching highly enough. Hayley is passionate, professional, knowledgeable and genuinely invested in helping every child achieve their potential.

All three of my children have passed the 11+ with Hayley’s help, as have five of their cousins! That speaks volumes about the quality of the teaching and the difference Griffin Teaching makes to the children and families it supports.

What really sets Hayley apart is the care and commitment she brings to everything she does. She is always so generous with her time, going above and beyond what you would ever expect, and is incredibly willing to share her knowledge, advice and expertise with parents. Her support is invaluable, and it is clear just how much she cares about getting the very best outcomes for every child.

The 11+ can be a daunting process for families, but having someone as knowledgeable, reassuring and dedicated as Hayley in your corner makes such a difference. She combines the highest levels of professionalism with warmth and a personal touch that is increasingly hard to find.

I feel incredibly fortunate that we have had Hayley’s support, and I would recommend Hayley and Griffin Teaching wholeheartedly to any family preparing for the 11+!

We have had a brilliant experience with Griffin for our son - excellent teaching, high quality resources and responsive support. We were particularly impressed with the revision materials. Huge thanks to Hayley, Sara and all the team for what they have helped our son achieve - we are thrilled with his Kent test results and will be back with his brother in a couple of years!

We are absolutely delighted — our daughter just passed the Kent Test, achieving full marks in Maths! We chose Griffin Teaching specifically because they offer just one hour a week of tuition with no more than 30 minutes of homework each week. We never wanted our daughter to feel overwhelmed; we simply wanted her to understand the methods and become familiar with the test format — and that’s exactly what we got.

Deborah is a wonderful teacher — she encourages our daughter so beautifully and truly makes learning feel fun, not a chore. Hayley is brilliant too — she makes both parents and children feel completely at ease, and always takes the time to explain exactly how we can best support our daughter at home.

We are so incredibly grateful for all the care, support and encouragement we’ve received from Griffin Teaching. It’s been such a positive experience from start to finish — I couldn’t recommend them more highly!

Hayley and the Griffin team got two out of my two children across the line with amazing results. I asked my kids themselves what they would rate Griffin and they both gave a hearty 5/5.

Thank you so much to Hayley and all the team at Griffin teaching - they truly know their stuff when it comes to the Kent test! What is particularly special is how they enthusiastically, honestly and kindly support both the parents and the children throughout the 11 plus journey.
They have provided an excellent program in supporting my daughter to achieve her potential, without unnecessary and harmful pressure. We loved the extra tips and advice on how to keep our daughter’s confidence high and her anxiety low. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Their vast knowledge and experience has been absolutely invaluable in enabling my daughter to achieve her fantastic results today.
Thank you again!

Hayley and her team are amazing and Griffin is incredibly well set up. Small classes, great revision resources and realistic mock tests. The feedback from mocks was great and focused too. My son only joined in the Jan before his test and he still smashed his 11 plus. Thank you so much everyone!

We can’t recommend Griffin highly enough. From the very start right until results day, Hayley and her team have been incredible. So knowledgeable, so supportive, so encouraging and so positive. They instilled such confidence in our son and equipped him with strategies and techniques to pass. The way in which they prepare children is first class. We’re so grateful; thank you!

We are so grateful to Hayley and her team at Griffin Teaching. Hayley brings such energy and enthusiasm to every creative writing lesson, and her weekly writing club is engaging and packed with useful advice. The sessions are just 20 minutes each week, but that consistency has made a real difference to our son’s writing and confidence.

The detailed feedback on his weekly writing has been incredibly helpful, showing him what he has done well and how he can improve. Hayley is also very approachable and always happy to offer advice whenever we need support along the way.

The video she recorded ahead of the exam was especially helpful in reassuring our son and helping him feel calm and confident on the day. Thank you, Hayley and the team, for all your encouragement and support. We would highly recommend Griffin Teaching!

So professional yet so caring and always willing to go the extra mile to help your child specifically. My niece and nephew passed the 11+ with Hayley's Griffin Teaching so I immediately signed my son up in year 4 ready to start in September of year 5. In small groups of 6 my son flourished and with school quality, data driven reports; multiple mock exams in a hall to mimic the real experience; feedback and additional revision resources included as part of the programme and just genuinely caring and knowledgeable teachers, I really wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. For context my son really struggles with spelling and I mean really struggles. Despite this, with the sessions and additional resources provided, he achieved full marks in all three papers. Needless to say, my daughter will be signed up next year ready to begin when she starts in year 5.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional teaching and outstanding support!

I cannot recommend Griffin Teaching highly enough. My son studied with them during Year 4 and Year 5 and did exceptionally well in his 11+ exam. They played a huge part in his learning and preparation.

Their support for both children and parents is incredible. They are organised, always quick to respond, address every concern, and provide excellent feedback. Their gentle, reassuring approach helps children feel confident without unnecessary pressure.

My son went into his exam feeling confident and well prepared. I am absolutely delighted with the results and so happy I chose Griffin Teaching. Thank you for everything!

Hayley and her team have built a fantastic tutoring programme that is thorough yet balanced. Hayley’s expertise and genuine care for the children on the course is so evident and inspires such confidence. We could not have asked for more from her.

Griffin Teaching was recommended to me by several different people and has completely lived up the high praise and some! We as parents felt fully supported and guided through the whole process.

Thank you Hayley. We’ve already signed our son up for next September!

We came to Griffin hearing exceptional things and it didn't disappoint. The level of teaching and revision is far beyond others we had experienced, and the care that Hayley puts in herself is beyond anything I expected. Pleased to say my daughter passed and I know alot of that was because we chose Griffin Teaching.

Exceptional Tutoring

Our son had an exceptional experience with Griffin Teaching. The group tutor was focused, compassionate and generally on the ball. When there were some gaps, they filled these with additional sessions which were all part of the service. The materials produced for group and home use were outstanding. The support provided for nervous parents was amazing. I would highly recommend Griffin Teaching to anyone considering tutoring their child. They have a huge amount of experience and they are very generous with sharing knowledge and with additional time to support you and your child.

Excellent management, guidance, support and tutoring. Hayley has been fantastic throughout the whole journey, filling my son with positive attitude all along and engraining the 'can-do' approach in him. Highly recommend Griffin teaching. We will be back with my daughter! Hayley and your team, we cannot thank you enough!

Hayley and her team saw both my children successfully through the 11+ process. I really appreciated her cando and rigour, which was always also kind and reassuring. I got good feedback and her tutors never let my girls coast whilst not putting them under undue pressure.
Although we never needed it, knowing you have support ready for an appeal was also rather reassuring in the anxious wait for results.
I highly recommend Griffin tutoring who helped my girls not just for 11+ but also tutoring in general.

We have had a genuinely excellent experience with Griffin Teaching, and I cannot speak highly enough of Hayley and her team.

Preparing our daughter for the 11+ has been an important journey for us as a family, and what has impressed me most is not simply the quality of the teaching, but the professionalism, honesty and genuine care that underpin everything Griffin does.

Hayley brings a rare combination of academic rigour, warmth and personal integrity. She clearly understands the pressures that children and parents face during this process, and her approach is thoughtful, measured and reassuring without ever compromising on standards or creating unrealistic expectations.

The teaching is structured, purposeful and engaging, with regular practice, constructive feedback and a clear understanding of where additional attention is needed. We have particularly appreciated the openness of the communication, the willingness to address concerns and the genuine commitment to helping our daughter develop both academically and in confidence.

What distinguishes Griffin, in my view, is that you never feel your child is simply another pupil preparing for an examination. There is a real sense of personal investment in their development, and that matters enormously.

Whatever the eventual examination outcome, we are sincerely grateful for the guidance, encouragement and support our daughter has received.

Hayley has built something that reflects her values, and those values come through consistently in the experience. An excellent educational service, delivered with genuine integrity and care. I would recommend Griffin Teaching wholeheartedly.

Having had 2 children go through their 11+ with Griffin, both achieving top scores and offers from their first choice schools, I could not be happier. Nothing is too much trouble for this team. They closely support children and parents providing regular updates and tailored support where needed. The course is perfectly balanced to ensure confidence is built and progress is carefully managed so children reach final test day absolutely on point. The course spotted gaps in our maths which we were able to quickly consolidate, and we really appreciated the dedicated English paper course, which was online so could be fitted in and around other commitments. This transformed my son's comprehension and writing element beyond recognition. We also took advantage of all the mock exams which not only helped my children become confident in exam conditions but also gave us clear indicators along the way as to exactly where we were. This team pivots quickly to accomodate the ever evolving exam content and changing structure. Highly knowlegable and nurturing. Could not have asked for more.
