"Fantastic science tutor! made complex concepts easy to grasp and really helped my daughter understand the topics. Patient, supportive, and great at explaining things - couldn't ask for more!

Aishat A
Aishat is a great tutor and we’ve been really pleased with the support she’s given my son. He has weekly GCSE Science (AQA) tutoring with her, and she has taken the time to really understand his learning habits. He’s completely comfortable with her, which has made a big difference to his confidence. Aishat is always punctual, responds promptly to messages, and keeps me well informed about my son’s progress. What’s been especially reassuring is that topics she’s covered with him have already come up in his mock exams, and he was able to answer those questions confidently. We’re very happy with the progress he’s making and would happily recommend her.

Amira K
Anabelle really enjoys her science lessons with Amira. She is becoming more confident after every session and often tells us how much she learns in just one hour, which is amazing to see. We are so glad we found Amira.
Anabelle is currently in Year 9 and is considering taking Triple Science for her GCSEs, so starting now and continuing next year feels like the perfect approach. Amira has been a fantastic tutor so far. If Anabelle needs some support in maths once she reaches Year 10, I will definitely look to book lessons with Amira again, if she has availability.
