Chidimma I
Chidimma started working with Max in February after a very upsetting result in his mock GCSE. Max has really enjoyed working with Chidimma who has been careful, kind and thorough. She worked at pace and logically through all of the topics to get Max to today with his final exam tomorrow and feeling in a totally different place. Max has much more confidence, knowledge of the subject and also knowledge of how to approach tackling problems. We both rate Chidimma 5 stars plus and are extremely grateful for her help and support. I am hoping the both of them get the result they deserve for their effort and teamwork!!
