Keerti Purmessur

From a highly academic background, Keerti understands the pressures that students often face and intuitively works with students in international schools to reduce academic stress. She has a strong track record of being able to engage students of all abilities and age groups, develop their understanding and significantly improve exam performance.

Particularly well versed in 13+, GCSE, A Levels and preparation for transition into universities, she has developed a range of masterclasses, programmes and presentations for independent organisations including Life More Extraordinary and Labcity as well as the students she works with. Keerti has worked with a range of international and UK clients from a variety of independent schools including Godolphin and Latymer, Winchester, Harrow, Eton and St Paul's. Current clients have successfully been admitted into some of the best sixth forms and universities in the world. Over the years Keerti has taught hundreds of students who have consistently exceeded their predicted grades - and as a full-time teacher significantly improved attainment levels in her top set class from an average of 50 % to 80 % in end of year exams.

"I'm writing to let you know how pleased we've been with Keerti. After my daughter decided to apply to some of the top UK boarding schools, it became quite clear that she needed a lot of help with the sciences. Essentially, she needed to learn most of the IGCSE Chemistry curriculum in two short months. Keerti not only managed to teach her in this short time, but she also instilled in her the confidence necessary to tackle these entrance exams. She patiently worked with my daughter hours on end, instructing, encouraging and inspiring. Through it all, what really touched me most, was the great care she put into every lesson. Keerti is much more than a tutor to my daughter, she is a caring friend. My daughter feels that without Keerti she would not have been able to tackle these grueling exams, and most importantly, she would not have been accepted into Sevenoaks." (Mother of 16+ student)

"My daughter did extremely well and had As across all her subjects. Keerti is an exceptional tutor and we are extremely grateful for her hard works and dedication. Thank you Keerti." (Mother of IGCSE Student – Edexcel Exam board)

"Hi Keerti. Hope all is well with you. Just wanted to thank you very very much for all the great work in helping our daughter achieve her fantastic grades – levels 9 in all three sciences – we are super grateful to you for your input, your care, your support and your patience throughout this year. Looking forward to seeing you soon and to thanking you in person!" (Mother of GCSE Student – AQA Exam board)
