I have known Fiona for a number of years as my both my children have been tutored by her . My daughter was lacking confidence with Maths and Fiona worked with her to show her different ways of approaching problem solving. She achieved an ‘A’ in her GCSE all with the help of Fiona. My son is still working towards GCSE and will continue through to ‘A’ level . It has been money very well spent , thank you Fiona

Fiona regularly tutored both my son and daughter up to GCSE. Her patience and tolerance was nothing short of outstanding, developing a caring rapport over time with my children that meant sessions were looked forward to and valued. During her time with them she was reliable and committed, more recently working hard to overcome lockdown obstacles. As a family we can’t thank Fiona enough for helping our children to achieve good maths grades.

Before doing my 4 days of Science I was worried about getting good grades in my real GCSEs but after completing the course I am very confident because the support and resources provided were excellent.

Rating: 5 / 5

Highly recommend, my son attended the 3 day A'level maths revision course and found it excellent he is now feeling far more confident and tackling his revision rather than burying his head in the sand. Thank you Kathryn

My daughter, Eva, thoroughly enjoyed the GCSE Maths course. We are definitely going to sign up for the sciences one in the near future. Many thanks for teaching Eva in a very positive and nurturing setting. Best wishes, Julie Robinson

Although some of the courses may seem bit daunting at first, it's honestly a very relaxing and fun course. With top quality resources and examples coupled with the optimism and nonchalance of the tutor, you can really learn a lot in this place. Would highly recommend (especially for science).

Fiona is patient, kind and brilliant at explaining maths to all age groups. She helped both my daughters and lots of my friends' children too. Fiona knows her maths and I would recommend her without hesitation.

Mia taught my 5-year-old daughter for two months online and during that time my child’s progress was remarkable, especially her writing, maths and art skills. Mia was able to actively engage my child and keep her focused and motivated throughout the remote lessons. Mia is a highly experienced and trustworthy educator who I have already recommended to friends, and whose services I would definitely make use of again.

Rating: 5 / 5

Mia taught my child Sophie when she needed extra help after school. Sophie really enjoyed and looked forward to the sessions and developed a great relationship with Mia. The sessions were great fun and planned around Sophie’s favourite characters which really helped engage her. It was fantastic to see how quickly Sophie gained confidence in herself and her work . Mia kept me well informed about Sophie’s progress and gave me ways I could help her more at home too. I would highly recommend Mia to help any child. She works extremely hard and really cares about what she does.

Mia taught my 8 year old son with holiday/lockdown top up lessons. Mia was very patient and she actively engaged with him to keep his focus and make the lessons fun. My son really enjoyed his lessons with her and he has made great progress in such a short time both in terms of confidence and ability

Rating: 5 / 5

Mia is great and our 6 year daughter loves engaging with her either online or in person. The lessons have brought our daughter along nicely as there is nothing quite like one-to-one tuition. Mia is polite and timely and a real pleasure to deal with. Roy and Marie Bowden x

All three of my children have taken maths, at Kumon in Guildford. We started for various reasons and have ended at different times. My last child has now been doing it for three years now and is two years ahead of where she should be. This was evident in home schooling in lockdown when we were completing year eight maths and she is in year six. Kumon has continued through lockdown with zoom lessons. I could book an individual lesson if stuck and could contact through Whats app and text. Work was easy to exchange with little notes of encouragement. My daughter is determined to finish the program. Ultimately she says she wants to take maths and further maths at A level. Even if this isn't your aim, Kumon will give you a great understanding of maths. Times tables will be known instantly which will help in all aspects of life. The Guildford group is welcoming and when we are allowed to meet again, easy to find. Nicky Gale.

We are new to the UK. My daughter never learned English. After she joined Kumon she start to say words and now it's been 6month, now she is talking to people with confidence(still need to improve). Even her teacher at her school said she improved so fast. Thanks to Kumon in Guildford, we had very nice experiences with it and all staff are very nice and teacher are so patient. Once again let my daughter go to kumon is very good choice I made.

Rating: 5 / 5

Enrolling your child in Kumon is an excellent way to create discipline and interest in reading and maths. My child was in a different Kumon center prior to us moving to this location, and we have to say its been a fantastic experience here. Duhita and her team cater the work not only to a childs academic growth but also take into account personal and social development. I highly recommend enrolling your children in this particular location.

Rating: 5 / 5

My two children have had Kumon maths lessons from the age of 7 and 4 respectively. They are now 15 and 12. Kumon has been a massive part of their success. Not only are they considerably advanced for their age at maths, the confidence it has given them has boosted their performance across all subjects. Kumon lessons are great value and the support offered has been so professional yet kind and child-centred. Thank you Duhita and team!

I cannot recommend Shine Tutors highly enough. My son started attending sessions with Lynnette in year 4, which ultimately helped him receive offers from both Tiffin School and Kingston Grammar School. The tuition and guidance received from Lynnette was invaluable to achieving this. Her sessions both supported and stretched my son academically but also gave him the knowledge and confidence needed for the entrance exams. Lynnette also provides lots of information to parents to help guide them through the school entrance exams process.

Rating: 5 / 5

Shine Tutors was recommended to us by a friend and our experience from day 1 with Lynnette was brilliant. Her approach, her material, her accessibility and her investment in the children she teaches pays results - our daughter received offers from both Tiffin Girls and Nonsuch! More than that, we have seen our daughter build a healthy attitude towards exams and learning, and this we feel is what will really help her in her academic life and beyond - a big thank you Lynnette! We look forward to seeing you with our younger one soon!

I highly recommend taking private lessons with Shine Tutors. L. is an amazing tutor and very professional. She helped my child to reach another level indeed and prepared him so well. He enjoyed her class so much. Shine tutors accurately identified my child's strengths and weaknesses so they could work on them effectively. The methods used are perfectly aligned with the tests, and the follow-up and correction of exercises are consistent. Thanks to the weekly follow up with a lot of good learning homeworks material our child succeeded in all his 11+ exams. It's hard work and effort at first but it all pays off. He got offered a place at Tiffin in the first round as well as other independent schools such as Hampton Boys including Upper Latymer scholarships. We are so grateful for the outstanding work L. has done to stretch our child and accompany him with consistent diligent work to succeed in his exams. She has also provided lots of information to us, has been a strong guidance for all of us in this journey and particularly in the school entrance exams process. Thank you again for your amazing engagement with children.

Lynnette provides an excellent structured setting whereby most of the class gain top school offers. The extra focus and individual feedback that Lynnette provides in the run up to key exams made us feel confident of success. Moreover, if you are looking for your child to develop an enthusiasm for learning beyond exams then Shine provides that breadth. You know it’s good if they miss the lessons long after the exams are over!

Exceptional tutoring service. I am so happy with the help my brother was given, his grades have already spiked and he looks forward to his lessons. Could not be happier. I highly recommend UTG. Many thanks for sorting it out and looking after him Tahir.

My daughter struggled with GCSE Science and got U in her mock exam I would like to say a big Thank you to Lina for her support and help. Today my daughter recieved her final GCSE Science exam result and she achieved grade 5. Big improvement and it would not be possible without Lina. Thank you for providing excellent service. Highly recommended

Having decided we would like the help of a tutor for our daughter for her GCSEs we were a little lost, but thankfully found Tahir! He is a lovely, calm and patient tutor who on a 1 to 1 basis was excellent our daughter. Without him she would have never gone from a grade 3 to a grade 6, we would highly recommend him to anybody in need of a maths or science tutor! Mr and Mrs Stone

James helped with maths to my sister nice and clear so she could understand. Tremendous help with short notice and wajeeha was very friendly which made it very easy to arrange the sessions.

Gemma is an outstanding tutor. She taught my daughter for French A Level and we anticipate excellent results. She is very organised and thorough and builds confidence very well. My daughter loved all the lessons!

Rating: 5 / 5

We used Gemma for Spanish tutoring in preparation for my daughters Spanish GCSE. From the very first meeting, Gemma was quickly able to determine what my daughter’s strengths and weaknesses were. Subsequently, she tailored her sessions to provide the knowledge she required both for the written and oral exams. In the following weeks, my daughter was more confident and engaged with the subject and ultimately achieved an A grade. I would highly recommend Gemma as a tutor!

Rating: 5 / 5

Gemma tutored our son in the run up to his GCSE Spanish. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough - she was engaging, extremely patient and very knowledgeable. He very much enjoyed the lessons and she moved him from a predicted grade 6 to a 7.

Rating: 5 / 5

My son was tutored by Gemma in advance of his GCSE Spanish. She is excellent at ensuring that he kept a focus on what examiners are after and built his capability and confidence on the spoken side of the language. He certainly found Gemma very helpful and asked for some additional lessons in advance of his exams. I’d definitely recommend Gemma, and will be using her to help support my daughter in her French GCSE.

January 2024, and my daughter is struggling with her GCSE results. Mocks hadn't gone great and I asked a friend for help. A friend of a friend recommended Haleema. Her work with my daughter exceeded expectations. An A* and A in English GCSE later, I would recommend HH tutoring without hesitation.

Rating: 5 / 5

Haleema at HH Tutoring has been an absolute Godsend for my son. In this past year working with her, my son’s English language skills, GCSE exam technique and overall confidence have come on by leaps and bounds. Haleema broke down the core skills required and worked patiently through them with him. She provided templates that he could follow and revisit again and again, which was essential as my son requires a clear structure to learn at his best. English Language is the subject he found the most challenging of all his GCSEs, yet with Haleema’s support, his skills are now secure. We’re confident that there will be cause to celebrate over his English grade on results day. More importantly, I know that Haleema has taught him lifelong writing, comprehension and inference skills that will help him at A-level and beyond. Thank you Haleema!

Rating: 5 / 5

I have worked with Haleema for the best part of a year and she has been an amazing teacher and role model. She has been teaching me the LNAT and I have seen significant improvements within the first two months of working with her. Haleema is always happy to help and explain things. I would definitely recommend her if you are looking for a LNAT tutor!

Rating: 5 / 5

As a mature student , Haleema had prepared me for the GCSE English language 2024 exams. Her method of teaching in group sessions and 1-1 is unfaltered, professional and she makes sure you understand the content and will help you to get the higher marks subject to you putting in the effort too. Every single penny spent on tuition was worth it! Even though, the tuition is online Haleema delivered the sessions in such a way where she made sure everyone engaged together from the weakest to the strongest student. If you miss anything or do not understand you always have full access to the online portal where you can review the online recorded revision sessions as much as you like. Make sure you take advantage of doing past papers and getting them marked by Haleema as you are getting written responses from a professional examiner with 8+ years of experience. If you want to succeed, Haleema is the way forward!!

I can’t recommend Genius Tutoring Services enough. I needed a tutor for my son’s A’level RE as he was having difficulty formulating his essays. Elliott searched around and found the perfect tutor, Anna Bodziony. She was kind and patient and boosted my son’s confidence no end. He was just scraping a C grade but with Anna’s help, achieved a B. He’s now off to Exeter University to study Computer Science. Thank you Elliott Hind for all your help.

George tutored my son for 3 months prior to his GCSE exams. He was really approachable and friendly and taught my son in a way that really helped him understand. I’ve no doubt that George’s tutoring was influential in increasing his final grade

Rating: 5 / 5

My daughter had a poor start to Triple Science GCSE, her teacher was newly qualified and sacked by the end of Year 10. So, come Year 11, there was a lot of ground to cover. Elliott was recommended by a colleague. From the very first Zoom meeting, he has been exceptional. Immediately he identified Nell’s gaps, strengths and weaknesses and was able to deliver engaging, coherent and meaningful sessions to meet her needs and help her make progress. He has excellent subject knowledge, is super organised, encouraging and supportive. His delivery is warm and enthusiastic…Nell didn’t once complain about having a session with him (a miracle), her confidence grew and dare I say it, she even looked forward to his sessions! Elliott kept me in the loop regarding next steps for Nell and emailed exam papers and advice as her exams approached. Whatever grades Nell achieves will be largely down to Elliott. My only regret is we didn’t find him sooner.

My son was struggling with A Level Chemistry having only got a C in his mocks. He needed an A to get into UCL to study medicine. We needed a tutor to improve my son’s exam technique and get him enjoying chemistry again. Seth was incredible at breaking concepts down and really helping him understand and then apply his knowledge correctly. My son got his A and is off to UCL this September. Thank you so much, I cannot recommend Genius Tutoring Services enough.
