I have a passion for my subject - science is rooted in almost everything we do in...

Kate A
Kate is as an excellent math tutor. My daughter has been having lessons with her for a few years now. There was a steady and noticeable improvement in my daughter’s understanding of the subject within a few months. The last couple of years she has been achieving between 90% to 100% on her tests. Kate has managed to not only help her develop her understanding but also her enjoyment of the subject. My daughter really looks forward to each lesson with Kate. Kate follows my daughter’s school curriculum, assesses her knowledge, and fills any gaps in her understanding. If my daughter is finding a topic easy Kate pushes her to challenge herself. We have come a long way in both my daughter’s proficiency and confidence in Maths, and that is all down to Kate. From her reliability, the way she teaches to her ability to build a rapport with her student. Maths is one subject that we haven’t had to worry about because of Kate’s input.

Sara is an excellent teacher for my 5-year-old daughter, who barely speaks English. My daughter quickly understood phonics and learned how to decode words. Sara is patient, highly skilled at teaching, and knows exactly how to adapt her approach to my daughter’s needs.
We absolutely love Sara… but Fred is still our favorite! 🙃

Mamun A
Mamun has been brilliant in accommodating our daughter, we initially requested help with 11+ and soon realised she was not at all ready for this. Mamun was able to commit to our changes in learning and supported our choices. Our daughter doesn’t overly enjoy school but she really looks forward to the sessions with Mamun and he really makes her feel at ease and she is engaged within his sessions. We are so pleased to have chosen Mamun as our tutor. Thankyou so much for your help and your fantastic communication!
