studentsWhy Hatch End Tuition?
When I first came to Hatch End Tuition, I didn't know anything about the 11+. But over time I progressed and at the end of 2 years could do a practice paper with my eyes closed! Thanks to the help and guidance from my tutors, the homework and the confidence I gained, I managed to overcome my challenges and achieve my dream of getting into one of the best grammar schools in my area.
