Dukes Tutoring Reviews 

very pleased with the assessment process for the 11+ - was expensive, but worth it!

We are very grateful to JK Educate and its tutors for all the support they have given our daughter over the last two years. Their advice at the outset our 11+ journey, the selection of the right tutors for our daughter and the different exam and interview practices they offered have all been invaluable and a major contribution to our daughter’s incredible success. Our daughter had a very positive experience of the whole 11+ process which is mainly due to JK Educate and its team.

We have used a JK Educate tutor for the last 18 months. We have found both JK and the tutor outstanding and highly professional. We intend to use them for our other children.

Tania tutored my son maths for his 11+. She was an amazing tutor, who always displayed patience and kindness and really made a point in identifying all his strengths and areas of weakness. She would always send me detailed feedback after each session and we are extremely grateful for all her input in getting him into his preferred secondary school!

Extremely pleased with the care, attention and professionalism provided by the JK educate team in offering a thorough feedback of the assessments for both of my daughters. It proved to be most insightful and has equipped us to move forward with greater clarity.

Many Thanks

As a parent you always worry about your child’s education and if we’re pushing them enough and are they where they should be for their age? From the moment my daughter took her initial assessment with JK Educate to feedback and then selection of tutor I feel like we have been guided fully in finding the correct tutor, which have met her needs and our concerns. Honest, reliable and professional advice from the beginning. Thank you JK Educate

I would highly recommend working as a tutor for JK Educate. You are in incredibly professional, safe and supportive hands with the JK team, who provide an exemplary model for a tutoring agency. The founders and team are passionate about teaching and learning, and provide thorough training and support at every step of the way. I particularly appreciate the teaching and leadership backgrounds of many of the team, whose expertise forms a secure foundation for the agency. I felt very quickly and easily brought up to speed in using a new online learning platform, which works effectively for me as well as for my students. A regular reporting process works efficiently to help all parties track progress with ease. I have the privilege of working with students who are a real pleasure to tutor and I look forward to our sessions together. JK Educate facilitates an excellent, professional way for tutors like me to exercise our passion of teaching while working with inspiring young people.

I have worked as a tutor for JK Educate for over two years. I thoroughly enjoy working with them and can't imagine a better agency to work for. The central team are highly skilled, incredibly professional and care deeply about their clients and their children. Tutors are offered a great deal of support to ensure that they are delivering a 5 star service to their clients and someone from the JK Team is only ever a phone call away.
I could not recommend JK Educate highly enough both as a tutor, to work for, and also with my own parent 'hat' on, as an agency, providing exceptionally high quality and bespoke tutoring to truly meet a client's needs and ensure that every child if fulfilling their potential.

Katie and Lorrae show a deeply genuine, heartfelt concern for people, both children and parents, that is combined with long experience. They are the most genuinely caring tutoring company I have met and combine this with a meticulous and skillful approach. I would not hesitate to recommend them even for difficult situations, and in fact already have several times.

Tania ( My son and daughter's tutor) and the team at JK educate have been nothing short of being absolutely brilliant. What stands out is that they are very sensitive to the unique needs of every child, pushing and prodding in a very motivating way. Their professional rigour in terms of performance management and constant feedback through this journey is very refreshing. We have seen tangible progress in both our wards and above all their confidence to face tasks have moved a few notches. As a parent this is the most gratifying outcome . They are not just professional but are very considerate and sensitive to the child and Parents requirements. In conclusion after having done rounds with a few other tutoring organizations I cannot recommend JK educate enough.

Having worked for many years in education, I can hand on heart say that I have never had a better workplace than JK Educate. They are professional, highly skilled, offer an exceptional level of training and support and are always willing to go above and beyond to ensure success in the matches between student and tutor. There is a real team working behind the scenes cohesively to make sure that tutors are on track and to offer advice and support for any issue. They are organised and efficient as well as being warm and friendly! From bespoke resources to their own online platform (and training sessions on its use!) JK really is one of a kind. You're lucky if you're able to work here and that job satisfaction will really show itself in the positive nature of your interactions with students. A real breath of fresh air after classroom teaching and a much better way of educating for both student and staff.

JK provided a most brilliant Alevel teacher for my son, who successfully achieved his potential of an A* and is off to USA university. Thanks Ben and JK!

I cannot recommend JK Educate enough. I have just started to tutor for this highly professional company and cannot praise their support, high quality training and friendly guidance enough. Thank you team!

I joined JK Educate six weeks ago and I have never looked back. Having been a full-time teacher for the past 14 years, the prospect of doing something different, like online tutoring was a little daunting. However, every single member of the team has been beyond helpful and supportive. No question is ever to trivial and no problem is ever too large. My first impressions are extremely positive and I feel I am part of a trusting, supportive, and professional team. Thank you JK Educate!

Katie and her lovely team have a great level professionalism in their business. We started our journey with an academic assessment to see my child's potential and how they will support her. My 9 years old daughter has just started to be tutored and she is absolutely enjoying the way she has been taught. I think the team has the best match for my daughter. I highly recommended JK Educate for supporting your children's education journey.

Katie and her team have helped both my children get into top selective schools, most recently a competitve mid-cycle chance vacancy. The tutors were excellent, as we have come to expect from JK. Arguably of even more value was Katie's session on interview techniques, where she encouraged my teenage son to present himself in the best possible light without putting words into his mouth. Couldn't recommend more highly.

My 10 year old daughter was lucky enough to be tutored by JK Educate for the last two years. It was brilliant to see her confidence in both Maths and English grow during this time. This can be a challenging time for the children, coupled with the fact we were in the middle of a pandemic. However, she was given an enormous amount of support to guide her through the ever-changing 11+exam process, as a result she was successfully offered places at 5 out of the 7 schools she applied for. We are both so grateful to the tutors at JK Educate for supporting her through this journey.

We have used JK Educate for general tutoring, exam prep and interview prep for the last 6 years.

Both our children have benefited enormously from the general tutoring. The subject matter covered and the approach to lessons and homework are really well tailored to suit the needs of individual children. The focus is very much on enabling the children to reach their own full potential rather than over-pressuring them to try to be something they are not. Having said which, the standards set are high and the approach rigorous.

Our son and daughter were both helped a great deal by the exam prep which JKE arranged for them (mock 11+ and practice on past papers). Having those experiences helped to ensure that our children were confident and relaxed when they went into the various entrance exams they sat, with great success.

Our daughter in particular also benefited hugely from the interview prep, particularly with being well prepared for the sort of questions where children are asked about their own character, strengths and weaknesses as well as on how to conduct herself during these interviews.

At the end of this process, parents may well have difficult choices to make as to which school would be best for their child. In this area too, JKE has also been of great help to us, giving logical, unbiased advice based on the knowledge which has been gained about our children while working with them.

Overall, the experience we and our children have enjoyed with JKE has been overwhelmingly positive and we would recommend them very highly to any parents interested in the services they provide.

Finding JK Educate after doing much rigorous research for the best tutors available for our son was the easiest decision we’ve made for his education.
From the initial assessment where our son did show his true potential, JK educate still saw what we could as parents. The bespoke and tailored direction and advice given it us has given our son the guidance, confidence and got him back on the correct track. They’re constant monitoring and monthly reports are extremely welcomed. If i could take my son out of school and leave to JK educate to cover all his teaching we would. Cannot recommend this company highly enough.

JK Educate did a fantastic job guiding our daughter through the 11+ process and ultimately she was offered places in every school she sat, including the local grammar school. The teaching was excellent, focusing on the subjects, skills and exam techniques that she needed to feel confident and succeed. We highly recommend them!
