My son achieved a grade 5 in his English Language GCSE exam today. This was his 3rd resit. He was recently diagnosed with dyslexia and he would not have done this without Sobia's tutoring. Thank you so much Sobia!

Jasmine U
Having learning difficulties, I thought I would feel uncomfortable in the first lesson; however, Jasmine is lovely. Jasmine gave me detailed feedback on my A Level Business assignment in regards to layout and improvements in my academic writing. She also gave me examples I could include in my assignment to achieve the highest grade possible on the assignment. Jasmine kindly wrote me a list of things that she discussed in the lesson so that I wouldn't forget, which was helpful. Additionally, Jasmine asked me if I had any questions I had near the end, so I was reassured or if I had any doubts. She is very friendly, and I was able to communicate with her without feeling shy. I would highly recommend Jasmine as a tutor.
