Iwona (Parent) Key Stage 3

"Aisha is tutoring our 10-year-old daughter with a view to helping her pass the 11 plus in Sutton. She was initially reluctant, but Aisha persisted and explored teaching styles and techniques until she engaged. Within a couple of months, there was a significant improvement in her creative writing. She continues to improve each week and now enjoys confidently using the skills she has been taught by Aisha. Her teacher has also commented on the huge improvement she has made over the past 5 months. From a parent’s perspective, Aisha is very communicative and gives detailed feedback every week and takes on board feedback from me as a parent. I would not hesitate to recommend Aisha as a tutor."

"I am pleased to recommend Powrniha as a tutor. She worked with Purojit to prepare for his 11+ exams, concentrating on his strengths as well as the areas that needed improvement. Her approach helped Purojit feel more confident and engaged with the tasks. Powrniha broke down difficult tasks into smaller, manageable parts, making it easier for him to understand challenging topics. Thanks to her support, Purojit made significant progress in both his academic performance and exam preparation and I would truly recommend her to anyone in search of a reliable and dedicated tutor."

"I highly recommend Krzysztof as a math tutor. He supported my 17-year-old son in preparing for his engineering college exams with exceptional dedication and expertise. Krzysztof was highly organised, using a clear and structured approach to each lesson. He managed to encourage and motivate my son throughout their sessions. His explanations were clear, and he provided thorough instructions, along with additional materials for independent study between lessons. Krzysztof also supplied previous exam papers, which were invaluable. Although the results are not yet released, I am confident that his efforts and techniques have had a very positive impact on my son's performance."

I really enjoy playing educational games at the end to summarise everything we’ve learnt. Oishi helps me throughout the questions, and even if I don’t understand, she pushes me in the right direction without giving away the answer. I would recommend her to a lot of people.""

I got a level 7 in Maths even though my school had predicted I would only get a level 6 at best! I used to struggle with past paper questions but we went through so many together until I was really confident. Powrniha’s very good at explaining and was always so patient with me."
