Sabine Hook

Sabine Hook- BA Hons, PGCE, QTS

Sabine was educated at Queen’s Gate School in London before reading English Literature at the University of Durham. Upon graduating from Durham in 2005, she gained a PGCE qualification in Early Years and Primary School teaching from UCL Institute of Education. Sabine has 7 years of teaching experience in the British state school system, as a Nursery and Reception class teacher and then as Head of Early Years. On top of this, she also has first-hand experience of the independent international school sector, having taught in the early years of The British International School Cairo. She was one of the early pioneers of nursery consultancy and has over 12 years of experience working with parents as a nursery and school consultant.

Over the years, Sabine has developed close working relationships with the most popular nurseries and schools in Central and West London and as a result, she is well-placed to offer informed, impartial and expert guidance in finding the best school for your child. During her years teaching Sabine gained a detailed knowledge and understanding of how young children learn and what essential qualities create a successful nursery school. She has developed her own unique assessments for children aged 2-6 years old, based on her own knowledge of developmental goals and the expectations of the most competitive pre-preps and schools. Children who have had these assessments and follow up report have gained places at 3 or 4+ into the most selective schools including: Highgate, Notting hill and Ealing, North London Collegiate, Arnold House, The Perse School, Falkner House Girls and Boys, Glendower, Alleyns Junior,  South Hampstead High and Kensington Prep. Sabine has three children and lives in London.

Chloe Berry and Sabine Hook are the wizard’s of the London/ UK school system. They are both experienced consultants and qualified teachers with a wealth of experience of both the independent and state school system. They are the power houses behind SH Nursery Consultancy which provides support to parents trying to navigate nurseries, schools and the general education system. Not only did they help me find a brilliant prep school for my little girl (against all odds and considerable time pressure), they are a wealth of information and knowledge.

My wife and I were nervous about the 4+ assessment for prep school given the relatively few numbers of places available, compared to the number of applicants. It left us unsure whether our son was suitable or prepared. Fortunately, my wife found Sabine, who was incredible. She visited our home and my son immediately gravitated towards her five her warm nature. She assessed him through a number of education techniques and gave us a very comprehensive account of his strength and weaknesses. Sabine gave us the assurance we were not wasting our time applying for prep schools. We cannot recommend Sabine highly enough.

Sabine has a lovely, approachable manner and we have found her to be highly knowledgeable about pre-school teaching. She has provided us with invaluable advice and tools to help get our child ready for school since her current nursery is great with pastoral care but not very academic. Our child has progressed very rapidly with her phonics and numeracy skills by just implementing a few of the play-based suggestions Sabine made.

Thank you Sabine! Your feedback on our son’s 4+ assessment has been so valuable. We are implementing your activities and are already seeing an improvement in his counting and number recognition. Speaking to you has made us feel much more confident about the forthcoming assessments and how best to handle them.

Chloe Clogg - MA Hons, PGCE, QTS, OCR Level 5 SpLD Teacher  & 7 SpLDAssessor 

Chloe has a wide breadth of experience and qualifications which means she is uniquely qualified to offer the highest possible support for parents navigating the complex London school’s system.  She has been working in education for over 15 years, during which time she has gained her PGCE, trained as a dyslexic teacher and qualified as a dyslexic assessor, who can administer psychometric tests.  In addition to this, she has worked at Garden House School, Thomas’s Battersea and as an independent private tutor, where for over a decade, she has helped children gain places at all the top London day schools, including Godolphin & Latymer, City of London, Latymer Upper, NLCS, Eton, Harrow, Wycombe Abbey, St Mary’s Ascot and Cheltenham Ladies College.

Having seen at first hand the difficulties that parents have in navigating the 11+, Chloe decided to set up SH Education Consultancy to provide advice on this stressful process and offer assessments from 8+ onwards. Chloe is passionate about finding the right fit for each child and can draw on her diverse teachingbackground, her own experience as a mother and her detailed knowledge of London schools to advise parents on the best option for their child.

In Flora’s own words, “Chloe teaches me maths, she doesn’t just tell me about maths.” Flora’s confidence is maths has soared and even with the 11plus over, Flora wanted to keep on seeing Chloe to help her grow in her learning and love of maths. My second daughter, Violet is highly dyslexic and knowing that Chloe was a SEN teacher, I asked Chloe if she would help Violet with her maths. When Violet finished her first session with Chloe, Violet skipped out of Chloe’s house stating that she had loved her hour session. This was music to my ears and brought tears to my eyes as very, very rarely do I hear these words come from Violet’s mouth in regard to her learning.

Chloe is an outstanding maths tutor. She is exceptionally patient and knows how to bring the best out of her students and what gaps need to be filled. My daughter thrived under her guidance and got into all her schools at 11+, including an academic scholarship. This would 100 percent have not been possible without her skill and expertise. She also recommended my daughter go to the Key Clinic. This has been transformational in more ways that I can ever put into words. I am eternally grateful for all her help and support.

Chloe is a godsend. She makes learning fun through a magical combination of kindness, fun and never-ending encouragement. I doubt anyone else would have coaxed such a positive response (and result) from our daughter.
