Okay, so wh ohas used a Tiffin tutor? Did it get your kid(s) into Tiffin? How old were they when they strted tutoring?

Okay, so my DD is only 3 1/2 but I like to plan ahead/. I've heard you can sign up for tutors that increase your chances of getting into Tiffin (boys and girls schools).

Any experience/opinions welcome.

Thanks.

Hi we are local to New Malden/Wimbledon and would really appreciate anyone who can recommend a good Tiffin Girls tutor.

If by the smallest of chance anyone is willing to pass on the details of the two Mrs W's even better, but would I even be able to afford them and can they really make such a huge difference to any child ? Surely they are just myth and legend ?

Hello Cybil Ceremony - I live in New Malden with my children at state Primary school in the borough - does that count as Kingston ?
Many thanks

just looked on 192.com, and both B & M are listed - you could also ask in the hairdressers on Tudor Drive.

I beleive the famous Mrs W has retired. May be worth asking the y6 parents - unless they have a year 5 sibling they have nothing to lose by telling you the neame of theirs

Welcome to the nightmare newmaldenmum1 (I wonder if I know you...hmmm)
Have heard of the famous Mrs W but not used her.

Hello- We are looking for a tutor for Tiffin boys for our year 5 son. We have the name of someone (ironically a Mrs W), but the number we have been given is incorrect and I am unable to get the correct number. Does anyone have a number for the illusive Mrs W or can anyone recommend a tutor.
Many thanks

A close male friends went to Kingston. He wasn't terribly happy there - found it a bit intimidating. Although he went on to Cambridge but others didn't.

Some of the South London comps are great fun...a bit more relaxed but with quite a bit of Oxbridge types.

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
