Ifrah I
I have never used a private tutor before but my 15 year old daughter has started taking additional weekly Nat 5 Chemistry lessons with Ifrah and she has been incredibly patient with her.
She checks in with her in relation to what she feels she needs to work on and takes time to understand her learning style, making her feel comfortable and relaxed.
The lessons are going really well and my daughter’s confidence is growing through this additional learning. Thanks Ifrah!

Filip S
My son was really struggling with his Nat5 Chemistry. Filip looked like he had excellent 5 star reviews so approached him and requested some help. He was brilliant from the start, very tolerant until we got up and running on the computer through the Tutorful Portal. My son sits his Nat5 this coming week and is displaying great confidence about his Chemistry. Every time my son had a lesson with Filip he came away energised and more confident. Week by week I saw his confidence grow. Thank you Filip for all your help. You've been amazing!
