Bahar O
Bahar has been a godsend to my son, who is taking Physics IGSCE this year. His international school is prioritising IB and hasn't taught the entire iGSCE curriculum, leaving gaps. Bahar mapped out gap and weaker areas and systematically addressed each - her approach and pedagogy are great and my son has significantly improved his scores. He is now confident that he will reach his target grade (from complete anxiety a few months ago). Bahar really cares - she goes over and beyond and is very generous with her time - not something I see often. Sok tecekkur ederim Bahar 🙏

Sarah H
I had my first physics lesson with Sarah and found it really helpful. I was struggling with applying formulas to exam questions, but she broke things down and got me to work through a problem step by step rather than just giving the answer. I found her line of questioning really made the concepts stick more.
It felt a bit fast at first, as I’d asked to cover quite a lot, but she adjusted well when I needed it. I feel a lot more confident by the end of this lesson, so I’ve booked a few more sessions.
