Isla B
Isla has been an excellent maths tutor for my daughter, and the impact of her teaching was evident almost immediately. After just one session, my daughter felt noticeably more confident and positive about maths, which was a significant change following a difficult transition from primary to secondary school.
Isla has a calm, thoughtful teaching style and takes time to ensure concepts are properly understood rather than rushed. She explains ideas clearly, checks understanding carefully, and adapts her explanations to suit the learner, which has helped my daughter feel secure and willing to ask questions.
Isla is particularly effective at rebuilding confidence while maintaining high expectations, and she strikes a strong balance between encouragement and challenge.
What has stood out most is Isla’s ability to create a safe, supportive learning environment while also helping my daughter adjust to the pace, structure, and methods expected in secondary maths.
She has supported consolidation of Year 7 content and helped bridge differences between primary approaches and the more formal methods used in high school.
As a parent, I have seen both academic and emotional progress. My daughter now approaches maths with greater resilience and self-belief.

How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
