Iman D
My son hasn't had the best experience in English at school and his grade is predicted to be several grades below his other subjects. We are just 3 sessions into tuition and Iman has really helped steer him back on course. He has been patient, knows exactly how to help my son, and I am really impressed that he will take the time out of our sessions to mark any practice questions my son has sent him and offer feedback. I really like how he has clewrly explained exactly what examiners are looking for in responses. I'd happily recommend Iman, particularly if you or your child needs boosting to a passing grade. My son is very happy with his tuition and so am I!
