Hello, I am Carly. I have been tutoring now for 5 years and it has been a pleasure to encourage my students and help them to see their own potential. As a medical student, I have a passion for the sciences and maths and I love to share that enthusiasm with my students.

Ifrah I
Dr Ifrah has been so incredibly helpful while teaching me Advanced Higher Chemistry! I feel more confident, ready and prepared for my exam. She goes through topics in detail and at a suitable pace. She encourages me to ask questions and quickly fills any gaps in my knowledge. She also always double-checks that I’m comfortable with her pace and teaching style - which she was more than ready to adapt to suit me. If I don’t understand something, then she’ll break it down carefully to ensure my understanding. This was especially helpful in the Organic Chemistry unit, with lots of complex reactions and theory. Before the start of each lesson, she tests me on what we previously covered to ensure I’ve consolidated the knowledge. Topics and concepts I used to be confused about, I now understand clearly. She is calm and supportive and explains things in a way that’s clear to understand. If you are considering getting Dr Ifrah as a tutor, don’t hesitate, you won’t regret it!

Heeta V
She’s been such a helpful tutor for me throughout my A-Level journey and really dove in and helped me in any problem i faced during chemistry. Using new methods to around finding and solving questions in A-Level styled Chemistry questions. She’s always there when I’m finding anything tricky; whether that’s an exam question or part of a topic i didn’t quite understand. She goes through carefully step by step and makes sure at the end of the lesson I’m 100% confident with what we done in our lessons. This has overall boosted my confidence in my abilities in Chemistry and i would 100% recommend her to anyone for tutoring!! :)
