Lauren G
Effective tutor
My name is Lauren. I am a current Master's student studying Criminology. I have tutored in GCSE and A-level Geography before online. My then student and I went through his weaker topics a few times. This made sure he was as comfortable and confident as he could be when it came to sitting the exam. I have also tutored in GCSE English; although I don’t offer that service anymore, I similarly approach the teaching. For example, we would discuss relevant quotations and language techniques. Again, focusing on weaker parts at stages, I did make sure to cover as much as possible with both students. T...

Nader A
Nader is a great tutor. He has helped me understand a whole topic in A-level mathematics which I didn't understand after my regular teacher taught it in school. Nader is really patient and is willing to help. He sends out the notes from our lessons and then sets assignments (past paper questions) that mean I can get more practice, and if I am unable to complete an assignment, then I send what I was able to complete and he goes over the question(s) and helps to answer it. I highly recommend Nader as a tutor. -Olivia (A-Level Student)

Hassan A
Hassan has been an absolute lifesaver for my 13-year-old daughter. She attends a British school in Madrid and has faced massive disruption this term, with her teacher absent for nearly two months and a different substitute almost every day. As a bright Year 9 (KS3) student who wants to be a doctor, she already had high grades, but she completely lacked confidence and didn’t feel like she was actually "good" at science.
Hassan did so much more than just bridge the school gap, he ignited a passion for science in her along with the feeling that she has the ability to dominate the material. He has been brilliant at making complex topics like balancing equations and solubility curves easy to grasp.
Thanks to his engaging teaching style, she has never been more motivated. She says Hassan is funny and fun. He has truly unlocked her confidence, making her realize that she is capable. I highly recommend Hassan to any parent looking to turn academic potential into real, self-assured confidence! Hassan is a generous teacher. He went out of his way to navigate a busy schedule and find times to meet in spite of our time difference. I could not recommend Hassan more highly.
