Why Progress Academy for 
St Bernards High School
Great institution for 11+ coaching

My son, Akhil had his 11+ coaching in Progress Academy and cleared all 4 tests (Kent, Bexley, CSSE and Redbridge) that he attended. The dedication and individual care provided by Progress Academy to each student is the key reason for this achievement.

There are centres which concluded their coacing by August, a month before the exams, which is a crucial period. But Progress Academy intensified the training in August and continued till the last exam, which helped the students to continue their revisions till exam time. Tutors are approachable for any advise, and have periodic parents meeting.

Its' not only of great quality, but affordable as well. They haven't charged separately for Mock tests conducted almost every week towards the end, which is not the case with many other institutions.

We are fortunate to find this training centre at the right time. All the best to Mrs. Hema Prakash & Mr. Prakash to get Progress academy to next level and help many more children to achieve their dreams. - Satheeshkumar Selvaraj
