"Some good news to my favourite teacher! Due to your teachings, I have officially made it into a well-known Melbourne school which is one of the most renowned and educationally supportive schools out there. The SST made me learn new vocabularies each week which supported me with the verbal interview as I sounded confident, formal, and diligent. Your mock trials helped me a bunch with the exam test they gave me. Your way of teaching is definitely the most unique, friendly, and helpful — making the vague path of success more and more explicit with each and every session. Thank you for the sweat, blood and tears you have put into teaching us."

"Every minute of your time, there was something to learn. Whether it was the renowned PQ strategy or frightening stories about ghosts or stories about absurd acts by students — Friday was one entertaining day. Your inspirational stories with shortcuts and clever techniques in Thinking Skills and Reading made it one of my favourite days of the week."

"I feel grateful that Jessica has a chance to join Stephanie Coaching. It provides a good quality of teaching and materials. Jessica probably couldn't have made it to reserve B if she didn't join. She said Stephanie is strict but funny — that's why she didn't feel too much pressure. She is actually quite enjoying her weekly class. Thank you Stephanie!"

"Dear Ms Stephanie, it gives us great pleasure to share that Aadhya has an offer for Girraween High School and a reserve number for Baulkham Hills High. Stephanie Coaching has played a pivotal role. The rigorous training, eye for detail, exhaustive material and constant motivational words that you groom the kids with will stay with her for life. The virtue of hardwork, discipline and putting the best foot forward has been the most rewarding offshoot of her learning curve. Hitesh and I are falling short of words to express our gratitude."

"I would like to thank you for all your guidance and support given to my son in preparing for the selective exam — I am so glad I found you. I have seen remarkable improvements in a very short span. I still remember my son was struggling in writing tasks. In just a few weeks I could see immense development — structured complex sentences and highly advanced vocab. We were elated to see an offer of our choice of preference and a score of 241.95 which was truly beyond our expectations. Highly recommended!"

"Stephanie has really changed my daughter Rhiannon's understanding of many subjects. Before Stephanie coaching, she did not learn much — like a bird being fed a worm but not knowing why. After we found Stephanie, she started to understand comprehension slowly. Now, she even knows how to interpret Shakespeare language. She helped my daughter achieve two high distinctions in the ICAS competitions both in English and Maths, and helped her get into a Selective high school."

"Stephanie's approach to learning is second-to-none. Her no-nonsense yet caring approach worked wonders with our son who succeeded in getting into a selective high school for 2017. Stephanie teaches strategies and techniques to think differently and instils a hard work ethic into her students. There's one word for Stephanie — awesome. Thank you Stephanie!"

"Stephanie is a wonderful and excellent teacher. Our son Benjamin has managed to vastly improve his knowledge in English, mathematics and general abilities under her guidance. Benjamin has been accepted at a selective high school, Rose Bay Secondary College — something that we think would not have been possible if he had not studied with Stephanie. We highly recommend her."

"Stephanie has been a true inspiration for my daughter Kanika. Stephanie's teaching is as much about passion as it is about reason — about motivating students to learn, teaching them how to learn, and doing so in a manner that is relevant, meaningful, and memorable. I highly recommend Stephanie Coaching."

"Stephanie is a wonderful tutor. My daughter has been with her for 1.5 years and the improvement is amazing. She needed work on comprehension and Stephanie's guidance helped her be in the highest level of reading in her class. My daughter also obtained very high scores in ICAS competition and school report."

"Stephanie Coaching was a wonderful experience for my daughter. I can see lots of academic changes — she improved in GA and English, especially writing, and due to this she was able to improve her score in Selective and get through. Stephanie's professionalism and particular interest in each kid helps kids to boost their level of thinking and working. Highly recommend Stephanie Coaching!"

"Stephanie is a great teacher who works closely with her students to enhance their attitude towards learning. My son's English writing skills evolved dramatically after her coaching. He was challenged and coached enough by Stephanie for a year which contributed towards his selection into Sydney Boys High School. I highly recommend her for English coaching."

"Dear Mrs Stephanie, firstly thank you for all your effort. I just received an offer and admission for Year 8 into North Sydney Boys High School in 2020. After the Year 7 results in 2017 I was put on Reserve list. Although I was devastated, I was told to believe in my potential — just like the motto, 'Believe to Achieve.' All thanks to my supportive parents and Mrs Stephanie who enlightened my mind into education. The mountain of booklets I completed from Stephanie Coaching paid off. Don't be afraid to dream too big — nothing is impossible."

"My son attended Stephanie's coaching when he was in Year 5. We noticed immense improvement in his English writing and it became more structured. He was using many new adjectives and was praised by his school teachers. He was overall a good student and got much needed help in English to push him through his selective exams."

"Best teacher we encountered! Stephanie is experienced and knowledgeable. We are thrilled to see our son finally improving in his writing and comprehension, which no other teachers helped much in the past. Our son lacked ideas in writing. Over time he developed passion in story writing and now English is his favourite subject. A lifelong skill."

"My son Aarav has been attending Stephanie Coaching for the last 5 years. We are truly blessed to have known Miss Stephanie. She has been very adaptable, has exceptional levels of interpersonal skills, very approachable and responds to doubts with utmost humility. Aarav has gained great confidence and has started enjoying English. Our son has got offered selective and scholarship opportunities just because of her. I cannot recommend Stephanie Coaching enough."

"Dear Ms. Stephanie, I am writing to inform you that I have successfully secured a spot in Penrith Selective High School. Without your help I would never have been able to make it. Your guidance helped me significantly, and the mock trials helped me the most. Even though you were strict and the mock trials were difficult, you encouraged everyone to push through. I pushed myself beyond my limits and made it. As your motto is, you always have to 'believe to achieve' your end goals."

"Dear Stephanie, you are more than a teacher — you are a leader, parent of many kids and most of all a person many kids can idolise. Thank you for your time on teaching me thoroughly as it has helped me with my selective. Your advice on writing made me confident in my abilities and the way I can excel from basic language to high standard, formal and sophisticated language writing. Your way of teaching is the most unique, friendly, and helpful way anyone has taught me."

"Dear Stephanie, I am writing to thank you for teaching me at Stephanie Coaching for the past 2 years. The past two years have been extraordinary and have expanded my knowledge to a point that two years ago, I thought, I would never be able to reach. My time at Stephanie Coaching has been unforgettable and taught me things I could never learn at school. A truly great teacher like you is hard to find and impossible to forget. The world needs more teachers like you."

"I first enrolled my daughter in Stephanie's classes in 2016, and Stephanie has never disappointed. Two children and 7 years later, I'm still recommending her tuition to friends. What separates Stephanie's tutoring is her commitment and dedication. She cares about each and every one of her students. Stephanie covers every topic in great detail and depth. Both of my children are now in high school, and even now they are still benefiting — it has provided a strong foundation that cannot be ruined."
