I like to use current affairs and scientific innovation to motivate students, but I also know that practise makes perfect, hence I focus on examination technique and understanding ideas in the context of exam questions. I believe that confidence is 80% of the formula for success ,but thtat most effort is required by the 20% knowledge and skills demands of each course.

Feedback For Leonora (4)

Ms Leonora is an amazing lady. I can see that she is doing her job with passion. She had a lot of patience with me and explained all the maths exercises to me, very understandable. Because of her help I understood how to resolve my exercise.

Leonora is kind, focused and has a really good grasp of the subject, which is evident from the first lesson. She has a very good knowledge of local schools` requirements, current A-level philosophies, and helps put pupils at ease quickly. Occasionally tutorhunt`s grasp of the lesson times can be a little out.
