The way she teaches challenges me but it helps me to grow and pursue Physics even more than I did before. She goes through the theory and then gives you questions to test you.

Jorge F
I was very nervous of using the platform and of getting a tutor, particularly as an adult, and looked around a lot before I committed! There was some sort 'pull' to Jorge, so I allowed the Fates to guide me, and I'm so pleased I did! Jorge is really friendly and patient, has a genuine interest in learning and language, and is a genius! The way he can explain why words are the way they are really helps me to understand and therefore remember, and he's always positive!! Really grateful, and excited to learn more and more!!

Really excellent tutoring, centred well around areas of learning that I needed to work on and received some great feedback as to how to improve. My marks for an area I really wanted to work on, French speaking, have greatly improved thanks to this teaching and I have greater baseline confidence in all areas of the course.
