Hanan R
Hanan has been an amazing tutor for my daughter over the past few months. She was really struggling with science before, but with Hanan’s support her confidence and understanding have improved so much, and her results are now noticeably better. Hanan is incredibly patient, passionate, and explains things in a clear way that actually makes sense. She genuinely cares about her students and always goes the extra mile to make sure they understand, not just memorise. I couldn’t recommend her enough. she’s a fantastic teacher!

Subham M
Subham is an excellent maths and science tutor. He does not make maths feel intimidating; instead, he focuses on helping students understand the fundamentals properly, which builds confidence and makes problem-solving much easier. He explains concepts clearly and uses strong, practical examples to break down mathematical and scientific problems. This approach greatly supports understanding, and my daughter responds very well to his teaching style and enjoys learning with him.
