Testimonials
..what our students and their parents have said about us...
"I’d just like to say thank you to all Peter’s and Ellie’s teachers last year. They both got the grades they needed and went to their first choice universities, so that’s wonderful. Peter had such a good time, and completely recovered from his disastrous year before, and it was very good to see him really enjoying his studies again, particularly Chemistry which he never really cared for before but which he really got into with his great teachers at Lansdowne. And a B for Ellie in French was a triumph for Ghislaine!"
Ms Kirk - September 2011
"We are all really delighted with Freddie’s results and the offer of a place to study physics at Queens. Thank you for your help and support over the past twelve months and please also pass on our sincere thanks to Freddie’s tutors and your entire team. Freddie’s time at Lansdowne has been an incredibly positive experience."
Jeremy Marcus (Freddie Clarke's Uncle) - 2011
“Thank you for all the energy you put into our English class last year [Phil], you were absolutely brilliant with the coursework and...all of your help did not go unappreciated, and I know that the other students feel the same.
I couldn't be happier with my result, and did not expect (or deserve) the grade that I got, but I know that I couldn't have done it without you!
Cheers Phil, you're an absolute diamond!”
