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.
