Shabnam is a fantastic, extraordinary, very knowledgeable, focused, and contactable/easy to approach teacher with a result-driven approach. My daughter is in Year 12 and just started lessons with Shabnam a few weeks ago and her grades in school trials/topic tests have already gone up consistently, which is amazing and reassuring for us as parents. My daughter has found her lessons very engaging, informative and interactive. Shabnam always comes prepared, and has tailored her sessions to my daughter’s learning needs and capacity. I highly recommend Shabnam to anyone, who is looking to improve their knowledge and their grades.

My daughter has enjoyed her lessons with Shadnam. She is well organised and presents and delivers her materials in a student friendly way. Shadnam is diligent and able to adapt her teaching materials and style if necessary. She has a professional approach and knows her exam board requirements. Excellent.

We had a few sessions with Shabnam and we felt the amount of fees she charges is not worth it at all. We tried only Physics with her, she may be good at Biology but has not done a good teaching job to our satisfaction. We felt she is not as competent with the subject matters as her profile suggests, and is also a bit overly persuasive.

Tutors Response :

I am sorry you felt this way. I have not only delivered but written schemes of work for IGCSE`s. As I explained to you. Your daughter moved exam boards recently and only had a couple of months before her exams. Due to the difference in IGCSE physics syllabus and her old examboard there was a lot of content she didn`t know. Although I appreciate that due to the limited time before her GCSE exams, you wanted her to move onto answering exam questions straightaway. However, unfurtunately she was not ready to do exam questions She needed the concepts broken down and taught to her first.
As teachers we want to inspire our students. Every child is different and we have to modify our teaching strategies to suit their needs rather than just robotic memorisation of facts. Nevertheless, I wish her all the best and hope that she gets the grades she deserves. GCSE`s are very stressful times for many students and their families.

Goes through the material with my son and answers any question he has (this is important as the exams are very near). She is also flexible and considerate.

Shabnam has been an exceptional tutor for my son who is in Year 13 studying A Level Biology. She has encouraged him and given him back the motivation he lost during lockdown. She has an exceptional ability to communicate in exactly the right way to engage him and he has reported that she is able to adapt to the way he learns best, and explains things really clearly. As a parent, Shabnam has kept me up to speed on his progress and what he needs to do in between sessions which I really appreciate. Shabnam has given my son back the belief that he can achieve what he wants to achieve in Biology - I really can`t recommend her highly enough.

Tutors Response :

Thank you Sharon. He is a pleasure to teach.

As an independent A level retake student its very daunting to do Biology. I needed structure and guidance, which is what I received from Shabnam. She was organized and helpful from the beginning and made me feel much more prepared with my revision. Shabnam was also very understanding in regards to my financial situation and was able to tailor tuition according to my needs. I know that I`m in good hands now. Thank you!

Shabnam is very dedicated, committed and behind our son. Quite apart from her subject matter knowledge, which is expected, she has been extremely helpful in finding and filling gaps in his knowledge, also helping him structure his work, an aspect with which he was struggling. Furthermore she has worked on focussing him to give correct answers using the appropriate scientific terms, where he had previously nee included to "dance around the subject" somewhat. All of which has improved his motivation, his attitude and his results. We are very lucky to have found her.
