Sarah T
We couldn’t be happier with Sarah. Sarah teachers my son (who is in year 10) Chemistry and Biology. She combines deep subject knowledge with a gentle, encouraging approach that makes hard topics in chemistry and biology accessible.
She consistently supplies a wide range of past questions and identifies gaps in understanding, whereby she supports him to improve in those areas. His confidence and grades have improved so much. Sarah is a brilliant tutor and we can’t thank her enough!

Viktoriya R
Miss Viktoria R has helped me improve greatly in Alevel biology Edexcel, in terms of understanding how to answer questions appropriate to the exam board, in my case Edexcel, although she is able to tailor her lessons to the students needs regardless of their exam board and level. I highly recommend her as she prioritises her students learning and goes above and beyond to prepare them for their exams ensuring that they achieve the highest marks possible. In my case, my lessons consisted of her preparing questions and past paper questions that targeted areas I was struggling with and would review them with me.
