Nadiah K
I would absolutely recommend Nadiah to any parent; she made an enormous difference to my daughter’s GCSE English experience. When she first started she was working at grade 4/5 and full of self doubt but with Nadiah’s support and patient teaching she achieved grade 8’s in both Literature and Language.
Nadiah’s lessons were always explained clearly, were thorough and progressive, and supported with independent homework tasks. She was always available to give advice and comment on other classwork too and my daughter not only steadily grew in confidence but actually started to enjoy the subject. We are so grateful.

Usaamah A
We are so grateful for the incredible support our son received from Usaamah. With his expertise and clear guidance, he helped our son progress from a Grade 6 in his mock to a Grade 9 in his final GCSE English Literature exam in a few months. He had also helped our son acheive a Grade 8 in English Language. He quickly identified the gaps in knowledge and skills, focused on what was needed, and taught in a way that was both efficient and effective. Our son genuinely enjoyed the lessons and gained confidence along the way. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for outstanding results!
