Uzma A
Uzma has been supporting my son with his GCSE Physics and Maths over the past few months.
Working through past paper questions has been incredibly helpful in identifying and addressing his weaker topics. Her clear explanations and use of extra practice ensure that he fully understands the material. My son’s confidence, particularly in physics, has improved, which is nice to see.
Uzma has had excellent communication throughout, and her commitment to ensuring the curriculum is tailored exactly to his needs is evident.

Majbeen S
My son is just about to sit his maths GCSE. He enjoys maths, but got a grade lower than expected in his mocks due, fundamentally, to panicking in the exam and his mind going blank. He really wasn’t keen on having a tutor at all, but I persevered and I’m so glad I did. Majbeen has great communication skills in addition to academic skills and is incredibly professional. She understands she needs to build academic knowledge, but also his confidence, which she is doing. From his very first lesson with her he came out buzzing, which has happened every subsequent lesson. His only regret is not finding her sooner. I wholeheartedly recommend Majbeen, watching her turn around his confidence before his exams has been a total relief. I just asked him now if he thought she’d make an difference in the exams results and he said without hesitation “yes”,
