Paula supported my daughter through her final year of A level biology. She was brilliant at giving my daughter confidence and filling in any gaps that she had in her knowledge. Paula was always led by my daughter on what she wanted help with and this was very effective. I would thoroughly recommend Paula as a biology tutor; she is a very friendly, personable person and my daughter benefited greatly from her input.
Im so pleased your daughter found that confidence - she really didn't have that many gaps, it was just a case of helping her to see that she knew much more than she thought she did! Congratulations on starting Uni!
From Rani
Paula is an excellent tutor, who has superb Biology knowledge and explains complex ideas in an easy to grasp way. My daughter enjoyed her lessons and achieved a top grade.
It is a delight to tutor your daughter and I am so pleased to be continuing to work with her during her A-level studies - her enthusiasm is wonderful! Thank you so much for your kind feedback.
From Basel
Paula has been an amazing tutor for my Biology and Chemistry GCSE. She explained balancing chemical equations clearly, which really helped me understand the topic. Her feedback on my past paper answers was super helpful, especially in improving my exam techniques and how to phrase my responses according to the exam board.
Paula is patient and always encourages questions, making each session enjoyable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their understanding of science and exam strategies.
Thanks for your kind feedback Basel - it was a pleasure to be of assistance. I wish you all the best with your A-level studies.
From Bronwyn
Paula is excellent! My son has responded very well to her style of teaching. He was struggling with chemistry and after 4-5 sessions he has done very well in a recent test I would highly recommend Paula
Thanks for your feedback - it's been a pleasure to help and I'm so glad your son is feeling more confident and able to see his hard work pay off!
From Alice
Fantastic tutor who's professional teaching allows my daughter to work at her pace and knowledge. I would recommend Paula to students who require that help before exams or understanding along the way. Thank you Paula my daughter likes working with you.
Thanks so much for taking the time to feedback in you and your daughter's experience of working with me. I very much enjoy working with your daughter too - it's a pleasure to help with not only the understanding of the many fascinating biological concepts but also to help her prepare to shine in her exams!
From Fiona
Paula started to tutor my son Leo at the beginning of upper sixth. Her tutoring is very clear and structured. She can quickly identify Leo’s weakness and subsequently develops tutoring strategies. Leo’s confidence in biology is improving, which reflects in his improved assessment results. I am certain that with Paula’s help, Leo will achieve his targeted A-level result this June.
Very pleased to hear that Leo's confidence is improving. He is a hard-working student and a pleasure to work with - I've no doubt that he can achieve his goals!
From Disha
Paula's hard work took my daughter from someone who never liked Biology to someone who enjoyed learning about the subject. Paula is the reason that my daughter got 9s. She is very thorough and checks all the workouts and answers very carefully. She works at figuring out areas where students require clarification, need revision and offers useful tips for improvement. The sincerity and time that Paula gives her students is something that makes her stand out from other tutors. Paula is brilliant!
Thank you, Disha, for your kind feedback. It is always so rewarding to help students to enjoy the subjects they study at school and I'm delighted for your daughter that she achieved the grade 9s in Biology and Chemistry. She certainly deserved them with her dedication to learning. All the very best to her in her A-levels and beyond!
From Brad

From Nithya
Paula has been extremely helpful in supporting my daughter through her A levels . Dedicated and enthusiastic teacher !
All the very best for Medical School!
From Romy
Paula is just wonderful. She has been tutoring both my daughter (GCSE Biology) and my son (A level Biology) and has helped both enormously. Both describe her as being supportive, kind and very enouraging. They come away from their sessions very postive about biology. She is very good at explaining things and bringing clarity to some of the more complicated concepts. She has made biology very enjoyable. She follows up lessons with slides, practice questions and corrects homework at the start of each session. Both, have made huge progress with Paula's help and are so much more confident going in to the exams. I would definitely recommend Paula. She is so easy to deal with and works so hard to give each child the individual support they need.
Thanks for your feedback Romy. It's been a pleasure to help both of your children. I wish them all the very best in their exams and I have no doubt that they will reap the rewards of their hard work!
From Kurnia
Paula is an engaging and supportive tutor and enabled my son to achieve a great GCSE result in double science. She cares about pupils’ understanding of the subjects and provides advice on exam technique which maximises points on questions.
Thanks for the kind feedback Kurnia and I'm really pleased for him that he achieved the grades to be able to do the subjects he wanted to at A-level - I hope he is enjoying them :)
From Anna

From Elunia
Paula is quite simply an absolutely brilliant tutor. She has been teaching my daughter Biology (and Chemistry) GCSE since early last summer and in that time my daughter has managed to cover an entire school year of coursework in each subject in a calm and positive manner. Paula is incredibly kind and patient and teaches at a pace which suits the individual and which ensures that work is properly consolidated and applied to exam technique. My daughter once believed that she was “rubbish” at sciences but she now looks forward to each lesson and eagerly tackles homework. I would recommend Paula without hesitation and feel incredibly lucky to have found the perfect science tutor for our daughter!
Thank you so much for such thoughtful comments. It is a pleasure to be supporting your daughter and I am delighted that her feelings towards sciences have changed so much - it's wonderful to hear that she is now considering Biology and Chemistry at A-level. I have no doubt that she will excel in her endeavours.
From richard
I asked my daughter for three words to describe Paula, and she said "calm, kind and patient". Paula has helped my daughter gain understanding and confidence with her Biology and Chemistry and continues to do so, and i would happily recommend her.
Thank you - that is lovely feedback from your daughter and I'm glad to be of help.
From Krisztina
Paula is an excellent tutor, she is very reliable, punctual and effective and she easily found the right approach with my niece when helping her with GCSE preparation. I can defined recommend her.

From Vonitha
Paula is attentive to the issues and revision needs of her pupil and takes her pupil's progress at heart. My daughter has gained confidence in the subject thanks to Paula, and has always found the support given to her lessons helpful. It can sometimes be a challenge to schedule lessons after a long and busy day at school but thankfully Paula has always tried to fit around challenging schedules where possible. So glad we found you!
Thanks for your kind feedback. It’s been a pleasure to see your daughter’s confidence grow and I wish her all the very best in her exams!
From Janine
My son has really enjoyed his lessons with Paula and found them helpful and interesting. I was delighted to see him motivated to do the optional extra work Paula set for him. I have found it easy to liaise with Paula to arrange times etc and look forward to booking more lessons for my son in the future.
I'm really glad your son enjoyed the lessons and I look forward to working with him again soon.

Paula has been tutoring our son online in Biology at GCSE level for a few weeks now and we are absolutely delighted with the work that has been produced and the progress which our son has made in this time. We approached Paula because she is an experienced teacher and highly qualified in her subject and we have not been disappointed! Paula has excellent subject knowledge and a professional, organised approach. She also has a very personable, supportive approach which has really helped to develop our son’s understanding of some of the trickier aspects of the subject and his overall confidence in the subject.
Thanks Jane for your kind feedback. It's been a pleasure already and I look forward to working with your son through to his GCSE exams next year.
From Angela
Paula has tutored my daughter in Biology and Chemistry for nearly six months. During this time not only have we witnessed a significant improvement in her results, but she now really enjoys both subjects and genuinely looks forward to the lessons.
Paula’s passion for Science shines through and her approach is methodical and tailored, both to the individual exam board and the learning style of the pupil. She is also incredibly patient and makes the lessons interesting and relatable.
Careful consideration is always given to the homework set and is a useful tool to help consolidate the topics focused on in each lesson.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Paula, she goes above and beyond any tutor we have used previously.
Thank you for your feedback Angela. I really enjoy helping your daughter with her learning - she has a fun sense of humour and an enquiring mind which make her a pleasure to teach! It's been wonderful seeing her confidence grow and I'm so pleased for her that she achieved such fantastic results in her end of year exams - very much deserved!
From Menghong
We have had almost 20 hours of tutoring with her, Paula is a very good tutor and also very responsible. My son enjoys her lesson greatly, we will continue working with her in the very near future
Thank you for your kind feedback - I look forward to working with your son again soon :)

From Angela
Paula was professional and effective and warm and friendly. She really helped my daughter and gave her immediate confidence and support.
Thanks for the lovely feedback - very encouraging to hear. I hope your daughter did well in the test she was preparing for!
From Charlotte
Paula has been great! I can thoroughly recommend her. She is enthusiastic, committed, and genuinely wants to help. My daughter needed some extra tuition in yr 11 because up to that point she had not had a consistent biology teacher, she was picked up by Paula whose experience in teaching meant she learnt all the relevant topics and went on to gain a 7 at Biology GCSE. We are so pleased and it just goes to show that with the right support and encouragement, it is possible to do well.
Thanks for such lovely feedback! I’m so pleased for her - she really deserved that 7 after all her hard work :)
From Katharine
In the short time Paula has been tutoring our 15 year old son she has really helped him to engage with and understand both biology and chemistry so much better than before. He is enjoying the sessions and she is brilliant at preparing resources and homework each week to help him keep on track. She's also a great communicator and was very helpful in organising the sessions in the first place. I would definitely recommend her.
Thank you for your feedback Katharine - I'm so glad he is enjoying the sessions and very impressed with the effort he puts in both during the sessions and at home.
From Paula
Paula tutors our 13 year old son. In the short time she has supported him he has made great progress and he really enjoys the sessions. Paula is very passionate about science and is clearly a dedicated teacher. I would thoroughly recommend Paula.
Really pleased he is enjoying the sessions - it’s a pleasure working with him!
From Vefa
Paula is an amazing tutor. My son failed his autumn exam and was very upset. We met Paula few months before his end of year exam and he got nearly A. She is very punctual and always comes prepared. One of the best tutors we have ever met! We are going to continue working with Paula for 1 more year. Thank you dear Paula for your help! Vefa
It's been a pleasure and really I'm impressed with the hard work your son put into his studies - he deserves that grade! Have a rest now with a lovely summer.
From Camille
Paula tutored my son for his 13+ exams in chemistry, biology and physics. He had BBC at his mock exams and thanks to Paula’s help he ended up with AAA in those three subjects. Thanks a lot Paula for all your help.
Wonderful news! He’s a pleasure to work with :)
From Amelia
Paula has been tutoring my sons for a month. One is currently in year 8 and being tutored for Biology and the other one in year 9 for Chemistry which they found challenging at their schools. From the first day they both took straight on to her and her teaching. They are typical teenagers and would not take anything they wouldn't want to, but with Paula they actually really look forward to her lessons and have said that the way she explains things and the way she gives them tips on how to learn the subject has made a great difference in their understanding and liking of the subjects. Thanks Paula.
Thank you for your feedback. I'm really pleased that the boys are enjoying their tutorials - that is always a goal for me and of course, we are far more likely to succeed at the things we enjoy!
From Kirsten
Paula has a lovely approach and seems to explain things in ways that are easy to learn and understand. She is patient, and non-judgemental. Additionally, Paula communicates well, and has been able to be flexible in organising sessions around the Easter holidays. Most importantly, my daughter is very happy.
Thank you for the feedback - it's much appreciated - I'm glad you are both happy with how things are going.
