Why choose VAKs?
VAKs is often described by parents and children as a ‘learning club’, where students are individually enriched and challenged.
Whether your child is flying through school or finding it difficult to keep up, we’ll be there to build their confidence and enthusiasm, ensuring we deliver academic success for your child.
Our experienced, handpicked tutors are trained in the Vaks method so that they can inspire, encourage and motivate every student to unlock their potential.
Our student success rates speak for themselves, with – to date – 100% of our children who sit entrance exams receiving an offer from at least two of their chosen school choices in Hertfordshire or London. At 11 plus we offer a three term transformational programme which we pledge will deliver success for your child above and beyond the examination day itself.
