I was GCSE Post 16 Coordinator and as such I looked after Post 16 students who continued to study maths in order to improve their maths GCSE grade.

First of all, I would like to thank "Tutor Hunt website" for their amazing support and services to the Parents to find excellent Tutors. Without "Tutor Hunt website", we wouldn`t have find such Excellent & Professional Tutors. Our Son finished his Honours Degree from University of Cambridge, thanks to the Tutors of "Tutor Hunt website". Ms Stefania`s manner of tutoring is without a doubt Motivational, Confident and Friendly on top of her Professionalism. She has been very Patient and always Supportive to our Daughter and us plus, keeps everyone updated for our Daughter`s hankerings because of her updated knowledge of the Academic Systems. She has been great at building confidence and keeping lessons fun which has improved our daughter`s conversation, writing, and reading skills. Building Confidence and will power are road to success for any Students which doesn`t come in a day and takes time with support which Ms Stefania is good at for our Daughter. We`re extremely grateful for her efforts. We highly recommend her to anyone who wants to go up the ladder and achieve the best results. Our best wishes to Ms Stefania.

My son only did a few short weeks with Stefania before Covid came upon us but in that time, she hugely improved his confidence in maths. The one to one learning was a real boost to him and one I would recommend.

Tutors Response :

Thank you so much for your feedback Jennifer. I hope you are all doing well.

I have tried a couple of different tutors over the years and would say Stefania was the one who benefited me the most. Stefania was brilliant at building up my confidence on my A Level maths course. I was able to understand things more in depth that i had previously found difficult in class and noticed a real improvement in my tests results and class work. Thank you!!

Stefania is very friendly and has a relaxed and calm approach, which put my son at ease. My son has had 3 lessons to date and Stefania has been very supportive in helping him understand challenging concepts which he is struggling with at school. Very approachable when we have asked Stefania to go over any problem areas and we would highly recommend her.

Hesistaed in answering couple of questions.

Tutors Response :

I have for many years helped a great variety of A level students learning and understanding maths with success both in terms of exam results and their personal satisfaction as all the other feedbacks demonstrate.
I believe teachers are human beings and not computers. That means sometimes even teachers need to think things through, especially when using an unfamiliar text book, as it was the case in this instance. I only had two sessions with your son and I am disappointed that you felt not happy with those sessions.

Stefania has already given my understanding of the Italian language a good boost. She thoroughly understands my requirements and is giving my confidence to speak Italian a good and much needed push in the right direction. She corrects my errors but never makes me feel stupid. I would very much recommend her.

Tutors Response :

Thank you so much Marianne. I am very happy that you`re feeling you are learning and improving your confidence after only few sessions. You`re an excellent student, curious, attentive to details and interested in the Italian culture as well as the language. Your knowledge and understanding is greater that you think and I am sure you will move forward very quickly.

Stefania is an excellent tutor. We engaged her rather late in the day to support my son`s Maths A Level learning and he has come on in leaps and bounds in spite of this. Stefania has given him excellent tuition, with patience and clarity, and boosted his confidence. I can recommend her without reservation.

Our son has responded really well to Stefania. Even though he has had a couple of lessons so far, we feel confident that he will benefit immensely from her support. My son finds Stefania techniques easy to understand. He is already gaining in confidence in the areas he was struggling with. We would definitely recommend her as a Maths tutor.

I am enjoying teaching your son. He picks up things really quickly and I am confident he will have a good chance to do very well in his exam.

My Son wanted to do his best at GCSE maths this year, so Stefania tutored him from the start of the year until his last Maths exam. During his time with Stefania his confidence, understanding & accuracy improved & his words are “she was a godsend”. I highly recommend Stefania to anyone looking to improve their Maths skills & push themselves to be the best.

Tutors Response :

Thank you Jacqueline. It has been a pleasure to teach him and see his confidence and understanding grow in a relatively short period of time. I wish him all the best in his future studies.

Stefania has been teaching my son ‘A’ level maths for just over a month now. During this time Stefania has been able to go through core3 & core4 and will be moving onto stats. Her teaching style has provided my son with a greater understanding of various topics as she is good at explaining methods and techniques. Stefania is very good at walking through how to tackle exam questions which has helped to revitalise my son’s self confidence in Maths and all being well he will be able to do well in his exams this summer. Thank you Stefania

Tutors Response :

Thank you Ashok. It is a pleasure to be working with your son. I can see he is growing in confidence and the presentation and accuracy in his work is much improved as well.

Stefiana has been an excellent tutor to me. As an adult learner I found it hard to get back into maths, but Stefiana help me to actually understand the problems instead of just showing me how to solve them. I felt that I improved a lot as a result of our sessions. Thank you

Stefania has been teaching my daughter for just over six months and she has immensely improved,before she started going to Stefania, she struggled a lot in maths, lacked confidence and her results weren`t very good but after she started, she has gained confidence and her results are much higher and is finding maths much easier. She tells me Stefania is very patient, kind tutor and simply teaches her in a way that she understands. Thank You!

Stefania has been tutoring my daughter for her GCSE`s for 4 weeks now. We are on year 1 of GCSE`s with mock exams last week of June. Stefania has been excellent for my daughter who is competent in maths but lacks confidence in her ability. Stefania not only worked really hard on the maths side but also have my daughter a belief in her abilities which has really made an enormous difference. We will be working with Stefania all next year leading up to the GCSE exams.

Tutors Response :

Thanks a lot for your feedback. I am so pleased that she is finding the lessons useful. She is a pleasure to teach and I look forward to working with her next year.

As an adult learner, Stefania has been helping me to brush up on my mental arithmetic. Stefania is very flexible with any area you would like to study and teaches in a way that suits you and your learning styles. Stefania puts in 110% passion and commitment into every single session. I would highly recommend for those looking to either regain confidence or improve their current ability, at any level.

This is an update to my earlier feedback. Two weeks ago my son came out of his lesson with Stefania saying, I really understand that part of the work now.
The following week he achieved a score of 100% in his school assessment of that topic.
Thank you Stefania for your teaching!

My son has so far had 4 tutorial session with Stefania and all is going very well.
He reports back that Stefania is very good at explaining any areas of his AS level maths that he is finding difficult.
He is regaining his mathematical confidence again which was lost in a `bad patch` last year.

Stefania tutored my son, who has always been a capable mathematician, but lacked confidence. With Stefania`s patient help he got a good understanding of all areas of the Maths GCSE syllabus.
The end result was an A* at GCSE, including 100% in one of the papers! Stefania definitely helped him get this result.
