Lessons are designed to build strong foundations in English and Maths first, before gradually introducing Verbal Reasoning, Non-Verbal Reasoning and exam technique

This step-by-step approach allows students to develop confidence, accuracy and independence over time — not just prepare for an exam.

Parent Reviews

Over the years, many families have trusted DLG Academy to support their children’s learning and 11+ preparation.

Sisi’s tutoring was instrumental in helping my daughter pass her 11+ exam. Her thorough and structured approach ensured no topic was overlooked and gave my daughter the confidence she needed to succeed. What we appreciated most was her patient and supportive teaching style, which made lessons enjoyable while reducing the pressure during such an important time.”
Year 5 parent

We have seen significant improvement in our son’s ability and confidence in both Reading and Maths. Sisi gives each child individual attention and provides clear, encouraging feedback. The progress he has made has been noticeable both in lessons and at school.

Year 3 parent

Our daughter has become so much more confident since starting lessons. She is now motivated, independent and ready to take on new challenges. We were amazed at how quickly her confidence grew.

Year 3 parent

Sisi’s lessons are always well-prepared, structured and tailored to the children. It is clear that there is a strong methodology behind the teaching, and this has made a real difference to our son’s progress.

Year 4 parent

Our son started in Year 3 and progressed through to the 11+ preparation course. Sisi quickly identified gaps in his learning and helped him build strong foundations. He achieved excellent 11+ results and also secured a place at a top independent school. We couldn’t be happier.
