Nader A
Clear Explanations, Guaranteed Understanding
I am an Engineering PhD and an official teacher at Derby College, with over 11 years of experience teaching Maths, Physics, Mechanical Engineering, and CAD software such as SolidWorks. I have worked in both academia and industry, which allows me to connect theoretical concepts with real-world applications and exam requirements. I enjoy teaching because I genuinely value helping students build confidence, think logically, and achieve results they may not have thought possible. I understand that many learners struggle not due to a lack of ability, but because concepts were not explained in a clear...

Lawrence C
After trying several tutors for A-Level Chemistry, I can say for certain Lawrence has been my favourite as he is patient and helps you understand the topic in full to further consolidate knowledge. I’ve had him for months and would definitely say he’s helped me gain more confidence in chemistry. Would recommend him to anyone trying to improve their Chemistry grades.

Flora I
We are absolutely delighted with the English tuition Flora is providing for our son in preparation for his GCSEs. He is really enjoying her lessons and already finding them extremely helpful. Flora listens carefully, offers clear and thoughtful advice, and focuses on strengthening his knowledge in a way that feels supportive and encouraging. Each lesson is very well structured, which has really helped build his confidence.
Although he has only had a few lessons so far, he already feels they will make a real difference and help him focus on exactly what he needs to prioritise for his exams. This is exactly what we hoped Flora would deliver, and we couldn’t be happier with the start she has made.
