Michael D
Michael is a great teacher for my Y11 son. My son always achieved 7-8 grade during his high school but only after a few months of taking science lessons with Michael he achieved 9 for all his science mock exam subjects! Both his knowledge and confidence is boosted. I highly recommend Michael.

Aaliya B
As a parent, I’m very happy with the support my son has received so far from Aaliya. She is friendly, reliable, and puts in extra time to organise resources for each lesson. She tailors the lessons to my child’s needs and always goes over the work carefully to make sure my child fully understands it. After just a few sessions, I can already see my child becoming more confident. I would definitely recommend her to other parents.
