Eslam M
Qualified teacher. Enjoys tutoring Maths and Chemistry
My motto is simple, nothing is hard, either we know or we don't. Practice is the key to excellence. I have a Bachelor of Science, specializing in Chemistry, and have a PGDE from the University of Edinburgh. Here is what I do. I don’t just teach mathematics and chemistry; I teach you how to understand the subject. I explain the topics in a very simple way for you to understand, I follow with an example, then I ask you a simple question to see how you think. I do try to prove the subject easy, I try to prove to you that you are capable of doing it. It is you’re your answers that tells me what to ...

Helen B
Helen is a wonderful teacher. Zack has made fantastic progress since starting lessons with her, not only with phonics and reading, but most importantly in his confidence. He now speaks English much more spontaneously at home and has started trying to write his own cards and sentences. Helen is patient, encouraging and very thoughtful in the way she plans each lesson around his progress. Zack always enjoys his lessons with her and looks forward to seeing her each week. We are very grateful to have found her.

Lucia L
I've had 4-5 sessions with Lucia so far and have really enjoyed them. From the start she followed exactly what I asked for: lots of conversation and a focus on fluency, with gentle corrections when I make mistakes, so the flow of the conversation never breaks. Her style is supportive, relaxed and casual, which makes it easy to speak freely without feeling judged. She also offers extra materials and clear explanations whenever they're useful, without ever sounding like she's lecturing. I'm looking forward to the next sessions and would happily recommend her to anyone who wants to build confidence speaking Italian.

Liam is a fantastic tutor! He always goes above and beyond in supporting my son both through the lesson content and through feedback on his homework. He is always well prepared and incredibly knowledgeable. His wealth of knowledge of the exam and exam board in Yr13 is invaluable. I can't recommend him highly enough.
