Karen P
Easy-to-use platform with lesson recordings. My daughter studied GCSE maths with Karen P for approximately 18 months. If my daughter didn't understand, Karen explained it in a way that was understandable. I can't sing Karen's praises highly enough. My daughter gained confidence in maths, this was reflected in her test and mock exam results. Thank you Karen. If my daughter needs a tutor for A-levels, I will certainly look to Tutorful for support.
