My daughter really enjoyed her lessons with Samia leading up to her 11+ exam. She was confident going into the exam and came out feeling happy with how she did. Samia covered everything she needed to give her the confidence she was lacking. Thanks Samia!

My daughter had about 10 sessions with Samia in the lead up to her GCSE`s. Whilst it is hard to quantify the progress she has made during her time with her (as she only gets her results in August) - her confidence in her ability has certainly grown & she felt that Samia helped her to look at things in a different way. She certainly grew to enjoy the subject more & looked forward to her weekly sessions with her. I would certainly recommend Samia to others & will absolutely consider using her again with my other children if they felt that additional support was needed.

Samia has taught my daughter for a few months now to help prepare her for her 11 plus exam. During this short period of time my daughter has come such a long way , she has gained immense confidence and has progressed exceedingly well in all areas . Samia is highly professional, reliable and well organised. Each and every lesson is planned and structured so well and Samia identifies and works on key target areas brilliantly with my daughter. Samia is very open and honest in every aspect of my daughters progress and learning which I find extremely important. Samia is always so patient, friendly and engaging which helps with my daughter thoroughly enjoying every lesson. Samia is an amazing tutor, I couldn`t have found someone better for my daughter and I just wish I had found her much earlier .I couldn`t recommend Samia enough.

Samia is a lovely tutor who had connected very well with my 15 year old boy, teaching him English. Samia is very professional, knowledgeable in her subject area and is always punctual. Samia attends the lessons and explains concepts very well. My son really enjoys learning with her and has found Samia easy to work with. He can talk to Samia about his day without any hesitation. Samia comes prepared and gets my son involved in the work. She is good in that she will not accept mistakes but will correct them no matter how small. Samia knows the syllabus really well which is excellent. As a parent it makes me confident that my son is getting the best support and guidance. I have heard Samia teach my son exam techniques along the way to encourage good habits. I am delighted with Samia`s work and my son`s progress. I have already heard positive comments from his English teacher at school. Samia is an absolute delight and I am so grateful for all her help and how well she has bonded with my son. I am filled with confidence that she is making a huge difference in his learning. Thank you Samia!

Samia is a really great teacher. She taught me many things that I haven’t known before. I’ve been doing reading comprehensions and writing techniques with her and I’ve learnt a lot from her. For example, the PEA paragraph was what we have been doing in the lesson. Surprisingly, my English teacher at school then taught us about PEA paragraph just a few weeks later, so I have no difficulties being ahead of my class. I wasn’t really good at descri ptive and creative writing, so after Samia’s lesson, I have been improving a lot and I don’t spend a long as I used to before my lessons with her. I have improved and learnt so much in a short space of time. I would rate 5 stars and more.

I was looking for a 1-1 tutor to help my daughter with the 11+ GL, CEM and Newstead Woods exams this coming September. My daughter is quite shy, but she instantly felt comfortable in Samia’s lessons. Samia is a fantastic tutor, clear, concise, focused and thorough, whilst at the same time being patient and kind. Samia assesses your child to ensure the right areas are focused on in all subjects and tailors the lessons weekly, to target any weak spots in these areas. Although our focus is comprehension, vocab and VR, I have often asked Samia to go through some specific Maths concepts, which she has allocated time to go through these concepts to ensure they are clear. I am really pleased I found Samia, knowing my daughter has these 1-1 lessons each week with a qualified tutor is reassuring and has massively helped build my daughters confidence. I highly recommend Samia to anyone looking to enhance and expand their child’s abilities.

Samia has been one of the most helpful and patient tutor I ever had. She has helped me a lot with my A Level Business assignments and exams which resulted to me getting top marks and Distinctions to all of my courseworks. She is amazing at explaining complex concepts in a simple, understandable way while teaching me how to answer exam questions properly and improve my scores. I believe she has prepared me well for my on going university studies and taught me the right syllabus. From my experience she has been a fantastic tutor and I highly recommend her to anyone struggling with their assignments or need a little push to get these top marks they need.

Samia helped me to write my personal statement which was tailored to applying for a Business Management undergraduate degree. In our lessons she clearly explained to me what would be essential to include, and greatly helped me to put together a well structured statement. Samia also helped me select what to include out of my extracurricular activities to include and ensured that my statement was within the word count whilst including everything that I wanted to discuss. She was friendly, helpful and professional and I am now so happy with my personal statement. I would definitely recommend her!

Samia has been working with my son who is doing a BSc in Business Studies. Initially I was looking for support for him with essay writing skills in one particular module, HR. Samia helped him to critically evaluate performance management systems, policies and theories and work-life balance as well as working on essay writing skills - how to structure them and to build on critical analysis. At time of writing Samia continues to support him with careers coaching, guidance on placements and helping with application process. When asked for feedback, my son described Samia as “very professional, structured, systematic, understanding and friendly”. From the point of view of a parent liaising with Samia from time to time, I would add that I also find her professional, understanding, supportive and am thrilled to have her onside. I would highly recommend her as a tutor.

Samia has recently started teaching my daughters. She is teaching English and Business Studies for GCSE to my elder one and helping with exam entrance to private school to my younger one. Her classes are incredibly effective and both my kids look forward to the lessons. This has helped my daughter with the GCSE mock exams and strategise her answers according to exam objectives. I would highly recommend Samia to anyone looking for GCSE and entrance exam preperation.

Samia has coached our child for the past 18 months to prepare for the 11+ which is due Monday 19th October. He has grown in confidence and feels as ready as is possible. He has enjoyed Samia’s style and she has concentrated on his weaker areas building confidence and ability. She is brilliant with him and makes him feel settled and special- that’s a special gift.

After trials with many tutors I was lucky to find Samia. She is highly professional and effective. Initially I found Samia to prepare my daughter for her 11+ exam for a prestigious grammar school. Samia does so much more than just teach my daughter, she gives her confidence, encouragement and structures the lessons to suit her needs. The content is excellent and she makes the lessons very engaging. We have built a very positive relationship and I have also asked Samia’s expertise to prepare my older daughter towards her Maths IGCSE. They both look forward to the lessons and the improvement is tremendous. I have nothing but praise for Samia. Thank you so much.

Samia has been teaching me English Language and English Literature for several months. The knowledge I gain from the sessions with Samia have greatly improved my confidence and overall grade. She has a thorough knowledge of all Shakespeare texts, modern and literary heritage texts, fiction & non fiction prose and poetry. During lessons we debate on the different interpretations and evaluate conflicting perspectives. I can expand on my points much better now and contextualise my essays. Samia is always so approachable, helpful and understanding. I would arrange a lesson everyday if I could! Highly recommend to anyone studying English and Literature.

Samia is assisting my daughter with English Literature & English Language (GCSE.) She is certainly dedicated and pushes ahead with a work-plan.

It is refreshing to have a tutor with energy and vision and certainly someone my daughter may look up to for guidance and inspiration.
