Adeela N
I started lessons with Adeela in September because I’m resitting my a level economics and she has been incredibly helpful, she focuses on chains of analysis and evaluations which are essentially needed to go from lower to higher marks, which I struggled with during sixth form. She knows plenty of real world applications that she brings in when we discuss a topic and doing exam questions, I appreciate the fact that she focuses on exam questions a lot and she takes time to mark my answers and offers loads feedback:)

How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and teaching style. Reading reviews from other parents is also a great way to get a feel for who they are. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking your first session.
