Gonzalo C
Excellent tutor
I have recently completed a 5-year integrated master's program in mathematics at the University of Glasgow, graduating with First Class Honours. Alongside my studies, I gained nearly four years of tutoring experience. I started as an independent tutor and later worked at the University of Glasgow, assisting with tutorials for first- and second-year students, as well as participating in outreach programs such as the university’s summer school. I have a genuine passion for studying, which I think is crucial for teaching. I believe the goal of teaching is to inspire students to love learning and t...

Dr Erfan is an absolute professional and top notch tutor of physics. Really impressed with his engaging style and my son was eager to have the lesson and keen to have another one by the end of it! Wonderful experience thank you Erfan!

Rebecca O
When our daughter first started with Rebecca she was struggling with confidence and significantly under-performing relative to her potential (she was getting 3s and 4s, even though she was in top set). Rebecca was amazing right from the start. In the space of about 6 months, working consistently and focusing on her weaker areas or areas where confidence was absent, my daughter has just achieved a 7 in her GCSE and is over the moon! The success is very much the result of the kind, patient, and highly skilled tutoring approach Rebecca adopted. She was able to engage my daughter on her level - not coming across as a boring teacher but someone who my kid wanted to be like, to aspire to, and Rebecca even found ways to make maths fun(ish). My daughter (sort of) enjoyed her maths sessions, but turned up every time (which was half the battle solved). And then Rebecca found ways to cut through, and to get concepts across in ways her regular teachers hadn’t been able to. The results speak for themselves. We couldn’t recommend Rebecca enough! Thank you so much!! You are amazing. If you are considering getting a maths tutor for your daughter - look no further. 5 stars doesn’t seem enough!
