I am an enthusiastic Maths tutor with many years of experience in teaching KS3, GCSE and Functional Skills.

Michael R
Experienced and effective Science Tutor
I am an experienced tutor and have been working in Somerset for the last fifteen years. In the past I have tutored students who cannot access full-time education for different reasons (health, mobility, faith and behavioural, for example) and always try to tailor my tuition to the individual's needs.I have worked as an examiner for both A level (chemistry), GCSE (sciences) and SATS (maths) so this means I am able not only to tutor the subject but also improve examination technique. Mathematics and all three sciences can be covered at GCSE in any combination and I have gained a sound working knowledge...

ive had a really good experience with my tutor,she is really patient and explains things in a way that actually makes sense to me. The main thing is she’s really boosted my confidence, especially in areas I used to struggle with
Shes also really easy to talk to and supportive, so lessons feel a lot less stressful. I’ve definitely improved since working with her, and I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a tutor.

Bahar O
Bahar is an exceptional tutor. She taught my son 3+ years ago, raising his predicted grades from a 5/6 to an 8/8 in Combined Science GCSE. Now she is teaching my daughter and we have already seen a huge improvement in her grades and she is entering the exam period full of confidence and feeling supported. Bahar is diligent and organised but also teaches with kindness and enthusiasm - getting all the key information across. She has been invaluable to our family in preparing for exams but also in terms of confidence and moral support in the run up to exams. Thank you Bahar. 🙏

Emilia I
We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Emilia on Tutorful! After my son’s test today, I felt I had to share just how much of a difference Emilia has made as his science tutor.
He came home feeling really confident and said he did very well. What’s even more impressive is that earlier this week his teachers and classmates were genuinely shocked at how much knowledge he had gained.
His teacher even mentioned that if they had seen this level sooner, they would have entered him for the higher paper! After his mock results he now been set to take the higher paper.
This boost in confidence and understanding is a true testament to Emilia’s dedication, teaching style, and ability to engage and inspire. He has grown so much not just in knowledge, but in belief in his own ability.
He’s now even asking to continue with tuitions which shows just how motivated he’s become.
Thank you so much, Emilia, for your hard work and support. We highly recommend her to anyone looking to help their child succeed.
