Experience: Hi,
I am a fully qualified teacher of Maths and Science. At GCSE I teach all three sciences and Maths and at A level I teach both Biology and Chemistry. I have had experience of being an examiner for EDEXCEL, OCR and AQA throughout my teaching career. I review the resources and text books for AQA and EDEXCEL prior to the exam boards releasing them to the students. I have a full DBS check and specialise in grade improvement. I create a personalised program for any student with regular assessments and also provide a personalised tracking program which is filled in on a regular basis after each session so that parents can see progress that is being made. I specialise in grade improvement and many students that are taken on increase their grades by between 2 and 4 levels. If I can assist you further please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thanks
Sophie
DBS Check: Yes

Feedback For Sophie (34)
Emma (Mrs)
10/05/2023
Unreliable, with poor time keeping with no advance warning when going to be late.
Tutors Response :
Thankyou for your feedback, albeit poor, I did inform you via text message that I was en route, and that I was running ten minutes late due to unforeseen circumstances on bank holiday Monday, and I added an extra ten minutes on to the end of the lesson by way of an apology. The lesson content with your daughter was always of high quality and she learnt a lot in a short time. Many thanks.

Sophie is fabulous. From the very first session she has given my son back his confidence in Chemistry and Maths and she has a lovely way of explaining topics that had previously stumped him. Huge thanks and appreciation. Would highly recommend.

Very disappointing and unreliable. Do not use. Arrangements made and on 3 occasions Sophie did not keep to them, neither phone or respond to contact. After requesting the fee be refunded if our tuition could not be upheld Sophie promised to ring me again. I gave her the benefit of the doubt and again she did not ring or contact or keep the arrangement. This is still the case! No apology or contact. Very unprofessional.
Tutors Response :
Unfortunately this refers to a telephone call to get tuition put in place, we did agree that Sundays would be fine fortnightly from September by message via tutorhunt. I explained that I was driving to London the first time that she called and would be in touch this week which has been busy due to a level and GCSE results being released. When I did call she put the phone down on me.

She was very good. We will be continuing A levels with her.
Hazel (Mrs)

Sophie has worked with my 16 year olds daughter and helped her gain in confidence and she prepared for her GCSE assessments. Would definitely recommend Sophie, thank you for all your help!
Michelle (Mrs)

Professional yet always friendly, approachable and forthcoming with feedback we have been delighted with our daughters progress with Sophie. Importantly, she seems to have an ability for explaining concepts in such a way that simplifies them and makes them easier to grasp. I have already recommended her to friends, and will continue to do so.
Tracey (Mrs)

My daughter was struggling with GCSE chemistry, even after a few lessons we can already see an improvement, she has a lot more confidence and is now enjoying her lessons.

Ms Sophie has been a wonderful teacher. She has been pretty good at explaining things and making the complex subject matters easier for my daughter. My daughter will be in Year 11 soon. Ms Sophie has helped my daughter gaining her confidence level back! I would recommend Ms Sophie to anyone.

Excellent Maths and Science tutor who has been really helpful in increasing my sons confidence and attainment in all those subjects. Without question the best tutor we have had.

Sophie is wrong by providing tutoring in Starbucks, this is unprofessional and disrespectful.
Tutors Response :
You agreed to it prior to purchasing my details. Apologies that you feel this way - I was trying to accommodate your daughter as I have very little travel time available and you live out of area. Had you spoken to me about this I would have been able to accommodate as I now have availability during the day time as I have organised childcare for my little ones. Thankyou for the feedback anyway!

Its early days, in that Sophie has only been helping my daughter for three weeks but she is fabulous. Reliable and engaged, she is already a hit in our house. My daughter, who is Year 8 and struggling with some basic concepts in Chemistry, Maths and Physics, is already feeling more confident. She says that Sophie explains things in a way that she can easily understand and which she has since applied in the classroom. Im delighted with the way it is working out.
Tutors Response :
Thank you for such lovely feedback Vicky ! :)

Sophie is an excellent tutor, well prepared for every session and making a real difference to my daughter`s confidence. Highly recommended
Moghimi (Mr)

A very unpleasant experience, unprofessionally late 3 times, constantly on her phone whilst teaching. Only taught for 45 minutes and still charged us the full price! Would not recommend to anybody. 0 stars.

Since my daughter started with Sophie, her confidence and understanding in Chemistry has grown. Sophie is always conscientious and professional and takes a very personal approach in her tutoring. I would highly recommend Sophie to any parent who wants to improve their child`s knowledge in this subject.

Philippa (Mrs)

Sophie was a great tutor and always explained things in detail and clarified anything that I was unsure of. She provided exam questions on a weekly basis and this really helped me understand the subject and allowed me to move closer to my goal. I achieved a C grade in A Level Biology when i had been getting D and E grade and even ungraded on occasions throughout the 2 year course. I would therefore highly recommend Sophie.
Marie (Mrs)

Sophie tutored my daughter for A Level Chemistry. She tailored lessons to her appropriate needs and taught in a way that was easy to follow and understand. Sophie inspired confidence in this subject and helped my daughter to raise her results by one grade. Thanks Sophie.

My son has found his lessons with Sophie very beneficial. He is studying A level chemistry and needed help with answering exam questions and some areas he was struggling with. Since starting with Sophie he has gained confidence and we have noticed marked improvement in his grades. We would highly recommend Sophie.
