Sara - A 4+ True story

My student’s name has been changed to protect her privacy and so has her mother’s name.

Her mother has given me permission to share her daughter’s story in the hope that it will help other parents to understand the 4+ Assessment process better.

I love that more and more parents are wanting to support each other through this process rather than the secretive nature that has been prevalent in this society that we live in. It’s not dog eat dog and it shouldn’t be. These children are 3 or 4 years old when they sit their 4+ Assessments. We should all be out to help each other.

After all, how we choose to educate out children is one of the most important decisions we will ever make for ourselves and for our precious children.

Myself and my team take it very seriously.

Sara

Sara’s mother Jessica contacted me in mid September 2024. I was having a coffee in Central London waiting for my partner to arrive to go for a Spa day! Jessica told me all about Sara with excitement and happiness. Then her mood changed. She told me that she had a 4+ Assessment at a Top London School in one month’s time. She also informed me that she was preparing for two very prestigious London schools and the Assessments for these schools were in December and January respectively. ‘Can you help us?’ She pleased.

I told her that the answer to this question would be based on hundreds of factors such as - where her daughter was right now academically, emotionally and behaviourally. After having met her daughter at her Sample lesson, I told her the truth. Her daughter would not be ready for the Assessment in October unless she was willing to increase the frequency of tuition.

Her mother chose to have one lesson a week with me. We met weekly for one month.

She did not pass her 4+ Assessment at this school.

Jessica was devastated when she got the results and she called me. Receiving that rejection was something she could not have prepared for. Seeing your precious child’s name on that letter or email and being told that the school you desired would not accept them is hard.

Now we have one month left to her next 4+ Assessments and her daughter is not ready.

My other students who have been preparing for the schools Sara is trying for started with me in January 2024. There is a huge difference in terms of their academic abilities, in terms of their ability to answer questions and in terms of the skills that they have developed over the process of these last 9-12 months together.

Starting 9-12 months before your child’s 4+ Assessment will be a game changer for you.

Jessica often tells me that she wishes that she had found me sooner. The truth is that she could have found me sooner if she had started looking for 4+ support sooner.
