Hi, I'm Chi, founder of Ascentia Tutoring, created with one goal: to help children succeed in the 11+.

​

I provide expert preparation for grammar and independent school entrance exams through both online or in-person classes. 

​

I know what it takes to succeed: my two eldest children gained places at St. Olave's Grammar School.  

 

I work with families aiming for schools such as St. Olave’s, Newstead Wood and grammar schools in Kent, Bexley and Sutton, as well as leading independent schools (selection of schools listed below).  

 

I help children master all aspects of the 11+, including maths, English, verbal reasoning, and non-verbal reasoning, as well as strategies to significantly improve creative writing skills.  I work on building the children's skills, confidence and exam technique to perform at their best.  I also offer a specialist course for the demanding St. Olave's Stage 2 exam.

​

My approach is results-driven and tailored to each child: developing problem-solving skills, logical thinking and exam resilience — not just for the 11+, but as a foundation for future academic success.

I hold an Enhanced DBS check, giving parents complete peace of mind.
