Mr has been providing online English tutoring to my daughter for many months now and has been brilliant. My daughter (yr8) really lacked confidence in her abilities but this has improved no end, which is evidenced by a clear improvement in her results at school. Mr is courteous and kind and the way he has been able to tailor tutoring to account for my (autistic) daughter’s special interest has aided her learning no end. I would highly recommend.
It has been an absolute pleasure teaching her- I have learnt more about cats and anime than I ever thought possible! It has been wonderful to see her English reading, writing and comprehension skills develop over the past couple of years. Thanks so much for the opportunity to teach her and I wish her and the rest of the family all the very best for the future.
From Helen
My daughter was homeschooled and one of her choices was Media Studies for GCSE. She also gets very nervous being on screen for lessons so Shafei, for all of my daughters lessons dealt with it so as not to pressure her, even though at times I can imagine it was hard, he didn’t say anything he just taught her as if he could see her. We also at times had internet issues etc all handled with patience. Shafei is patient, helpful, understanding and informative. I highly recommend Shafei as a fantastic teacher, we’re hoping my daughters results will reflect both of their hard work, which I’m confident it will.
From Nathan
Can I express our gratitude for the fantastic tutoring of our son in readiness for his English GCSE in July 2024. I would also like to acknowledge your patience, encouragement and passion for teaching English and we very much appreciate the extra time and effort you put into preparing Nathan for his exam. Wishing you continued success in your teaching career. Best regards Paul and Michelle.
It was an absolute pleasure tutoring Nathan and extremely rewarding to watch him do so well in his coursework and mock exams. Thank you for your kind comments, they're genuinely much appreciated. I look forward to hearing how he does on results day! Kind regards and best wishes, Shafei
From Linda
I first started my lessons with Shafei in around Feb 2023; a couple months before my A-level exams. I did not understand the examination format and the techniques involved with achieving the highest marks which I needed to go to University.
Shafei helped immensely with this; even in the short time that I had lessons with him. Our lessons consisted of largely exam practice in timed conditions which allowed me to become comfortable with the little time students are given. We also did past questions together, discussing different ways in which we could approach the question. Shafei is very encouraging and easy to talk to which helped me in understanding where I could boost my marks and thus my grades. Before meeting Shafei, my English contained a lot of colloquial speech and grammatical errors. Shafei reinvented the way I write in English allowing me to achieve the highest grades as well as being coherent with minimal grammatical errors. He boosted my grade up helping me ensure I achieved a high grade in my coursework and examinations. Thanks to him I managed to secure my place at the University of Birmingham.
Amy is the absolute model student - she always responded positively and immediately to feedback and would put in extra work outside of school and our tutoring sessions.
Congratulations Amy! It was such a pleasure tutoring you.
From Ranjit
Delighted to have found an excellent tutor for English for my son. Shafie has really helped my son grow in confidence. He listened to and understood my concerns for Noah and has focused on giving him the skills to navigate his way through exam questions. I feel very positive and hopeful for a good GCSE grade and would highly recommend Shafie to anyone looking for a reputable and second to none English teacher.
It has been an absolute pleasure working with the student and with the family. Ranj is incredibly supportive and has worked with her son to provide me with helpful feedback along the way.
I wish her son all the best in the forthcoming exams and to the family for the future.

From Sandra
Mohammed (Shafei) is a highly competent and professional tutor. He has seen my son twice now and has gained a rapport and knowledge of how my son requires tutoring to meet his needs. I am confident that Shafei will be able to help my son immensely towards his GCSE English Language Exam.
Dear Sandra, it's been a pleasure working with you and your son thus far and I'm looking forward to continuing in September. Thank you so much for your review; you can expect high quality tuition that will definitely help your son in preparing for his English GCSE.
