Harshitha M
Mechanical engineer and experienced tutor
With over five years of experience as tutor, I have guided 50+ students from Europe, Asia, and the Americas to achieve consistent results.
As an mechanical engineering graduate, I possess strong skills in mathematics and would like to believe I make the subject a lot more bearable. (based on what my past students' feedback)
As someone who only started enjoying mathematics accidentally at 16, I understand what often goes wrong in mathematical education. This subject is often presented as impenetrable largely intimidating students from even wanting to try. I take a conscious approach that presents...

Samuel J
Expert Teacher
I believe tutoring should be more than just “extra lessons.” Too often, students sit through sessions that feel no different from school — repetitive, exam-heavy, and disconnected from real understanding. My approach is different. I make learning relaxed, relevant, and engaging, so that instead of dreading another lesson, you actually enjoy it — and make real progress without even realising how much you’ve learned.With over five years of teaching experience, a Bachelor of Education with Honours in Technology and Design, and work as a CCEA examiner, I know exactly what exam boards expect and how t...

Hasan S
Hasan has been a great tutor for my son's GCSE preparation. His lessons were very organised covering input, knowledge validation and past paper questions from your specific exam board. My son feels these sessions have really helped him feel more confident going into his exams across all 3 science subjects. We don't have results yet to know how much of a difference it has made to grades. Would recommend Hasan.

Andrew L
We had Andrew L for 11 months in the second year of our son's Classics A'Level. Andrew and incredibly kind and approachable tutor with lesson formats that are informal but very knowledge packed, which suited our son very well. He provided crucial information about exam structure and gave great depth of knowledge on Homeric poetry and Greek Theatre. We would highly recommend Andrew.
