About Us

How it all Began...

In 2010, the journey of AtoZ Educational Services began under the most unlikely circumstances during the final year of my Masters Degree in Business Management course, when a desperate friend asked me for help. Her family had moved to the UK from France and her children, whose first language was French, were finding the change of language and school culture challenging. She requested me to help them to face the 11+ Examination and to provide extra guidance and tuition. Being in the middle of the final year of my Masters Degree, I was inclined to politely decline the invitation as it seemed to me that this was not my forte. My friend’s sheer persistence virtually forced me to agree to help the children with their 11+ preparation work.

My Revelation

That episode was a revelation for me. I immediately realised that I had a natural talent in teaching and moreover the joy of interacting with children inevitably lured me to the profession. This was confirmed by the fact that both my friend’s children were successful in their quest to gain places in Grammar schools.

The rest as it is said… is history.

After the Revelation, we embarked on our Mission

Our Mission

To provide a caring, safe and stimulating educational environment for children aged 9 to 11 years.

We achieve this by:

  1. Providing a safe and stimulating environment which ensures equal opportunities for all children, regardless of race, culture, religion, gender, special needs and medical requirements.
  2. Teaching 9 to 11-year children by means of our unique methods which we specially developed to provide the optimal educational level to achieve success in the 11+ Examinations.
  3. Giving individual emphasis to the development of each pupil’s knowledge and intelligence.

By following our mission, we aim to achieve Our Vision which is to become an internationally-accredited leader in the provision of Primary Educational Services.
