Accommodating, reliable. My daughter found Sheilas experience of AqA Chemistry gave her confidence in their sessions and my daughter finds the lessons beneficial in supporting her for her A level mocks. We tried a couple of tutors and found Sheila to be the best fit for our daughters needs. Benefitted from a introductory chat to establish learning needs but Sheila is responsive to students queries and my daughter feels at ease in sessions.

If I could give Sheila more than 5 stars I would . My daughter was struggling with her GCSE Chemistry and she had started to lack confidence. Shiela`s calm and methodical approach had a great impact in a short space of time . My daughters confidence grew , not just in chemistry, and her grades improved. Thank you Sheila

My daughter has had three lessons for A level Chemistry with Sheila so far. Sheila has a lovely, calm teaching manner and explains things in a very easy to understand way. Sheila not only teaches the subject, but helps my daughter understand how and why you get to a particular answer. I feel like my daughter already has a better understanding in areas of Chemistry that she has been taught at college.

Thank you very much Karan.
