Testimonials.

Figtree has been an incredible resource for our family as we prepare to move from the US to the UK. With two daughters of different learning styles and personalities, their guidance in selecting the appropriate UK schools, scheduling tours, and navigating entrance requirements was invaluable. Figtree has a very personalized approach, and they always made us feel like we were their most important client. Their fantastic pool of tutors not only addressed our daughters’ academic needs but also got them prepared for school interviews. I can honestly say Figtree became an extension of our family throughout this process, and we are so grateful for their help. We highly, highly recommend them!! Andy W, Parent, West London

Thank you for being an absolute lifesaver for our daughter’s 7+ exams. From the superb tutoring you arranged for her in the run-up to the exams and the much-needed reassurance for us as parents, to guiding us on school options, helping with applications and finally gaining a place at our first choice school. We couldn’t have done this as a family without you and we are so grateful. Jo G, Parent, Notting Hill

My experience with Figtree learning was very positive. My daughter sofia was interested in attending an excellent IB school in UK and figtree has driven her through the best schools and prepared her for accessing the IB. She has been admitted to several schools that she will start at the end of August. Ariana, the founder, has been an amazing guide for my daughter and for us and very good motivator for my daughter. Lizzie and Camilla have supported us promptly with all our needs and the tutors have been very good with her. She has enjoyed a lot studying her favourite subjects for the IB.

"Thank you, Figtree, for these sessions. During lockdown down they were a great help and I was really looking forward to Saturdays. They helped me to be more confident in speaking and contributing to discussions with other children I didn’t know - and via zoom! The sessions also helped me with English comprehension and creative writhing. Doing exercises and working in a group - being able to share my answers without being judged - and learning new techniques, has been incredible". Olivia

"Ever since schools went into lockdown in April 2020, Ariana and Misa have been coaching our kids and boosting them with unbelievably useful comprehension skills. They’ve read passages from well-known books, like Peter Pan and Sherlock Holmes, and studied them for their content, style and grammar. Figtree's lockdown generosity has been heartwarming and it has made learning for our kids—in lockdown and out of it (the weekly sessions have continued long after the first easing of Coronavirus restrictions)—fun and enriching, despite facing the most unexpected of circumstances. Figtree has enabled children, who have never met in person, to bond and make massive strides together, through the power of virtual learning, and the constructive and nurturing mentorship of its outstanding teachers. Thank you, Figtree!"

"We sought out tutoring for our son in year 4 to fine tune his creative writing skills and exam techniques. Within moments of speaking to Figtree Learning, we felt at ease and proceeded to book our first tutor who was highly competent, motivated and punctual. We were applying for the top London schools, including St Paul's, Westminster, Latymer Upper, City of London and King’s College, and after a few months, Ariana suggested we take on another tutor to push our son out of his comfort zone. The combination of 11-plus tutors worked perfectly. The tutors helped my son focus on his strengths and address his areas of development, regularly setting real exam scenarios, all the while managing our expectations. The tutors instilled a disciplined and consistent work style, communicating honestly with us about our son’s progress and prospects. The school entry process was long and challenging, but with the support of Figtree Learning, we made it and received an offer from our first choice of school! The team goes above and beyond for their clients, and I recommend them whole-heartedly."

"We are so grateful to Ariana and her team for sending us the best tutor. He was so great with Heath and, in just a few weeks with us, he really helped him both academically, but more importantly with his confidence! It made a massive difference and Heath got an offer to a great school as a result. Thanks again."

“Ariana and her team have helped us and our boys by reducing stress around school work and exams. The ability to work with different specialists who are willing to adapt to our schedule has been essential to keeping our boys motivated whilst learning. Khaled is extremely appreciated by the boys. He is a terrific tutor and West's confidence has soared working with him in just a short time. We can’t recommend them enough!”

“In preparation for an English assessment for the international section of the Lycée Français at South Kensington, our daughter of 10 years old started in March having private tutoring with Eve. The hourly rate was higher than our previous tutor but the service provided is worth the higher price. Eve understood our expectations and the objective: pass the assessment. Eve came prepared, the sessions were structured and she had the skills to make the sessions instructive and fun. Our daughter passed the test! We definitely recommend tutoring through Figtree Learning!”

"Jack is just great because he helps me cover things I was really struggling to understand. Exams are really, really hard for me and he does not stress me out working through them every week. For example, when I get stuck on something he doesn't try and rush me. The way he talks me through things helps keep me calm and focused. I look forward to seeing him. I also took a prep exam this week in school and think I did better because of the help from Jack."
