Mehreen H
Mehreen is very kind and patient, she always makes sure to explain anything you don’t understand but also gives you time to think for the answer on your own. She always makes sure we do exam style questions which really helps a lot in getting used for the type of questions one would see in the exam, she’s the best :)

Georgina B
I found Georgina when we began our home educating journey. She is extremely knowledgeable and experienced, with a deep understanding of how children learn. My daughter had formal lessons on comprehension and grammar, as well as sessions that encouraged creativity, exploration, and cross-curricular learning. Georgina used my daughter’s interests to teach concepts and often connected English with art and photography, making each lesson engaging and meaningful.
She was always very patient and kind, creating a calm, positive atmosphere where my daughter felt comfortable and able to learn at her own pace. The home activities she set were thoughtful and reinforced what had been covered in my daughter’s lessons.
I highly recommend her because educators with her level of insight and creativity are rare, and she truly understands how to teach children in a way that works for them.

Sutandra C
We couldn't be happier with Sutandra! He has been tutoring our son for his GCSE Physics preparation, and the results in just three months are incredible.
Sutandra has a real gift for making complex concepts clear and engaging. We've seen a significant, measurable improvement in his grades, but even more importantly, his entire attitude toward the subject has transformed. Our son now approaches Physics with genuine enthusiasm and confidence, a change we hadn't thought possible. We highly recommend Sutandra to any parent looking for an effective and inspiring tutor.
