Jonaid R
Jonaid has been my tutor for over a month now, I am in a better place because of his excellent teaching ability in which the subjects are presented in a practical way and his skills with Excel and Word are showcased with impressive real time efficiency.
The subjects are explained and demonstrated, easy enough for basic beginners to well advanced as it is obvious he is a master in this subject. No BS, guy knows what he is doing. To the point, clear, efficient which learning material to study from each lesson, no wasted time and dealing with logistics issues from my end as I work offshore, considerate.
I have been with Jonaid for 6 lessons now and would not be where I am in the 6 hours. It would of taken me 50 hours or more self learning and then not sure.
Jonaid, thank you for the time to consolidate learning from lectures and home work and a interesting way to view material with a personal touch.
I recommend Jonaid to anyone who would like to learn or improve in accounting or finance. Well worth the money, you get what you pay for in this world and Jonaid provides a solid service and lesson personalized on whatever subject you need learning on. Thanks again, Don.

Richard H
After two lessons I can say Richard has been an excellent tutor for my son so far.
We had an initial free introductory chat where he introduced himself and set out his approach, and his communication for both lessons has been exceptional. Richard shares his pre-lesson planning aims and post lesson feedback.
Richard uses the Tutorful platform to conduct his lessons which offers safeguarding benefits and means he can easily video record the lesson and share it with the student for review.
He provides is a high level of service which justifies his price.
