Najma H
Najma has been a wonderful English tutor for my daughter. She’s kind, patient, and easy to talk to, which helped my daughter feel comfortable straight away. She explains things clearly and always teaches in a way that suits my daughter’s understanding.
Her lessons are enjoyable and engaging, and I’ve really noticed an improvement in my daughter’s confidence and understanding of English Literature. Najma is reliable, supportive, and truly cares about her students doing well.
I would definitely recommend Najma.

Anna B
We used Anna for a couple of hour sessions to help our son brush up on his quadratic simultaneous at a higher level before his mock GCSE exams and she was fantastic.
Her lessons were very engaging and well presented which really put our son at ease.
This was a massive help and really made our son feel more prepared and confident.
I would recommend Anna to anyone seeking all levels of maths tuition and will definitely be using her again for when our other children are preparing for upcoming exams!

Lynn has been helping my child recently with her R.E GCSE studies. Lynn has been carefully assessing and helping my child with 12marks and 4 mark exam questions . She has sent detailed report on my child's strengths and weakness and has been careful to listen to feedback and accommodate areas that I felt my child needed help with. Overall Lynn has been very helpful although it was a short time but has proven beneficial for my child's needs.

Binny B
Lucked into finding Binny after moving from the US. Neeed a tutor to help catch my S5 student, not only did Binny get him caught up but gave him the confidence to handle whatwas an apparently difficult exam. Yes, we had to cancel a lesson but we found her communication to be good overall. Would certainly recommend Binny, she provided exactly what my kiddo needed!
