Michael B
Friendly, enthusiastic Science Tutor
I absolutely love what I do, and channel that enthusiasm within each of my lessons. I believe a child can very easily see if a teacher is passionate about what they are teaching, which is why I believe only those who absolutely love their profession should teach. I want to provide the most engaging and challenging lesson for myself, because I hold very high standards for my quality of work, but more importantly, for the child. I want a child to leave each session safe in the knowledge that they have learnt something new that day.I like to approach each session differently, learning what interests...

Hasan S
Hasan has been a great help to my son’s GCSE preparation in science and we have seen the improvement in grades over a short period of time. When we first met, Hasan clearly set out how he planned lessons which was incredibly helpful and thought-out. He has also been very flexible in terms of focusing on areas where my son has asked for support (across the 3 sciences). Extremely happy overall and we both highly recommend Hasan.
