Bahar O
We met Bahar back before Covid when our daughter was in year 9 and told us she struggles with physics and chemistry. Thanks to Bahar’s clear and adaptable explanations our daughter fell in love with chemistry and ended up choosing it as an A-level subject. Bahar continued tutoring her for the duration of her A-levels and she ended up getting into University College London (UCL), where she studied chemistry with management. After graduating she found a job she loves.
Now Bahar teaches our son who is in secondary school. He loves having lessons with Bahar and has chosen tripple science for his GCSEs. I’ve been recommending Bahar to friends whose children needed help with science and will continue recommending her. For us, she played a big role in our daughter’s future and now in our son's. I am forever grateful to her.
