Ume was on time and delivered the session as agreed but we decided our son will be best suited with another tutor.
Thanks for your feedback Jalika, and I wish all the best to your son in his studies.
From Stephen
Ume is tutoring me A-level Biology. I enjoy and appreciate the clear and precise application of the concepts that I am learning during the sessions and find beneficial assigned past exam questions and practice questions to consolidate my understanding. I also ask lots of questions to ensure that I am prepared for the exam and to identify the areas where I need further practice. Now I am a lot more confident answering the application type of questions including comparing and interpreting data from the graphs that I used to find tricky before I started tuition with Ume. I am definitely looking forward to continuing my sessions with her
From MAriangela
My daughter who is in Year 8 has been having tutor session with Ume on Physics, Biology and Chemistry for around 5 months. My daughter confidence in the subject has greatly improved. Ume’s approach and regular tests after each topic and end-of-unit test has been valuable. We would highly recommend Ume.
Thank you, Mariangela.
From Ottilia
Ume works really well with my nephew who enjoys her lessons. She always sends work to help him consolidate his learning. My nephew says that she is very understanding of current skills and how to help you to get better.
Thank you, Ottilia. It's my absolute pleasure to work with your nephew and hope he will continue to enjoy our both year 8 Maths and Science lessons. I look forward to helping him to do his best in the final KS3 Maths and Science exams!
From Maha
We did not continue with tuitions after the first lesson as Ume doesn't cover the creative writing aspect of the exam. We only found that out after her details were purchased. Ume was understanding towards our concerns and responded professionally.
Thanks for your feedback, Maha. I offer a creative writing course, and each 1-hour session includes step-by-step discussions, story planning, writing prompts, tips and techniques with guided exercises and tailored feedback for each of my students to improve their creative writing skills. However, during our first meeting, you mentioned that you would like to cover creative writing with personal marking on each piece of work, SPAG and comprehension in 1-hour lesson which was not discussed before my details were purchased. Apologies for the inconvenience that may have been caused and wishing you all the best in finding a tutor for your child.
From Jo
Ume has been very supportive of my daughter. She is very thorough and professional, with high attention to detail and required standards. My daughter is improving her grades and confidence in gcse physics.
Thank you, Jo. Your daughter is a receptive learner and a hardworking student. I am glad that my sessions are helping to boost her confidence, exam skills and grades. I have personalised my lessons to bridge the gaps in her knowledge because she misses school while playing tennis tournaments at a national and international level.
I look forward to our GCSE Year 11 Maths and Chemistry tutoring sessions too!
From Tracey
Ume is tutoring my daughter in GCSE Maths, Biology, Physics & Chemistry. After only a short time, Ume has really helped my daughter( age 14) to understand many areas of maths and science that she hadn't quite grasped.She is performing better at school and says that Ume is very clear and makes the subjects easier to understand. Ume is very thorough, always forwarding additional material that is really helpful. My daughter looks forward to her lessons.
Much appreciated Tracey, Pearl is a pleasure to work with and I am looking forward to our next sessions!

She builds good relationships with my daughter, she is encourages her to be an active listener and ask questions, she explains different ways if my daughter can't understand, gives her tests and quizzes. Ume organises meetings with parents to give them updates of child's progress.
My daughter and I is very to recommend Ume as a tutor to anyone who needs to pass GCSE Sience successfully.

From Farah
Thanks for your feedback rating which however does not reflect my tutoring abilities because the tutoring session did not proceed due to limited availability.
From Manju
Ume is a fantastic tutor. She helped my daughter to understand the difficult task in maths and also she feels more confident.
Thank you for your positive feedback. Your daughter really wants to learn and working hard to learn year 7 Maths, and expect her to pass with the best grade. See you on Saturday :)
From Wilson
Ume, has proven to be a very professional and flexible tutor. She regularly reminds parents of classes, organises feedback sessions and set's a learning plan which is shared with parents a week before each tutoring session. Ume has also made changes to scheduled classes on short-notice which has been very much appreciated as it has enabled our eldest daughter to be flexible with her demands for the Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award. Ume currently teaches two of our three daughters and both of them have expressed great elation in having been introduced to their favourite tutor ever (they have had a few).
Thank you for your comments, Wilson. Your daughters are hardworking and conscientious, and feel sure that they will pass their year 8 Science and Maths and A-levels with a top grade next year.
From Anna
Ume is tutoring year 6 Maths to our son, who found Maths challenging but with Ume’s input and excellent approach in identifying the key areas through regular Maths assessments, teaching and then testing has definitely worked! His confidence has grown and now he is very enthusiastic to solve tricky Maths questions and challenges himself. This is exactly what we were looking for! We are pleased with our son’s progress and Ume’s encouraging teaching style. Our son is enjoying the lessons and looking forward to the coming lessons. We couldn’t recommend Ume highly enough and if you are reading this, then please look no further!
Thanks very much Anna. I am glad that I could rekindle his enthusiasm for the subject, see you next week :)
From Kamran
It's been 3 weeks since Ume is remote teaching my daughter GCSE level Physics, Maths and Biology. Lessons are organised and planned, and in particular, I like the way she explains concepts. Uma is professional and provides updates highlighting teaching progress. My daughter has expressed positive feedback to me about Ume
At this stage, I am happy to recommend Ume to others for her teaching style and professionalism.
Regards K
Thank you Kamran, it does help that your daughter wants to learn, and feel assured that she will pass with a top grade in her GCSE. She is a pleasure to work with, and I look forward to our next sessions on Friday!
From Kim
Ume is an excellent tutor, reliable, supportive and professional. Our son is in year 6 and he finds it extremely helpful that she explains step by step how to solve complex Maths problems logically. She has a great understating of how to identify weak areas and then adapting her teaching method and the content of her lessons accordingly. From the first session, our son felt more confident and encouraged because she explains each question in great detail to make sure he understands it. Her PowerPoint slides for the lessons are EXCELLENT, very thoughtfully put together, clear and concise showing detailed workout for each question. She also gives all the lesson notes, PowerPoint slides and extra Maths questions for homework which is a great tool for our son’s year 6 SATS revision! We greatly appreciate all of her hard work in preparing the lessons with outstanding learning content, regular tests and assessments and regular constructive feedback through arranging parent meetings which are very helpful in tracking our son’s progress. She also sends us reminders before each lesson and updates our son’s progress after each lesson. We are extremely satisfied and happy with her teaching style and our son looks forward to his Maths lessons each week. We will be continuing Maths tutoring lessons with her even after our son moves from primary to secondary school. We would strongly recommend Ume to anyone thinking of being tutored. Thanks Ume for all your help. :)
Thank you for the kind feedback Kim, it is great to hear that he is feeling more confident! I am looking forward to hearing how things go in summer, and see you next week!
From B
Ume is tutoring our son for the 11plus Maths exam and she obviously has a thorough understanding of the subject and the exam process. She puts a lot of effort into preparing the lesson and her lessons are outstanding, very well planned, organised and structured. Our son reported more confidence in understanding the subject and how to approach exam-style questions. She sets up regular exam-style mock tests to identify the areas where he needs more help, provides detailed feedback and updates his progress regularly. She does her best to personalise her teaching approach and the lessons learning material for our son, specifically targeting those areas which require improvement. She provides extra practice sheets, lesson notes and PowerPoint slides after each lesson which is excellent and extremely helpful for exam preparation which can further strengthen our son’s understanding of the subject. My son is really enjoying her interactive and engaging lessons. We are extremely pleased with Ume’s teaching approach and the lessons and we look forward to continuing Maths lessons for our son. We always pay for our tutoring lessons in advance and will continue to do so. We have already booked our son’s Maths lessons with her until September! We would highly recommend Ume as a great tutor at any level. Thank you so much Ume, we are grateful for your utmost support.
Thanks Mrs Prashar, Nikhil is a pleasure to teach, and I am glad to hear that he is enjoying the sessions! See you tomorrow :)

Ume promptly responds to my requests for scheduling tutoring sessions and thoroughly prepare all the teaching lessons. I feel very lucky to have found Ume at the right time. She is exceptionally organised, reliable and explains complicated topics clearly and in-depth to ensure that I understood each topic. She is patient, so I feel supported and encouraged throughout the lesson because of her personalised tutoring approach. I am extremely happy and enjoyed all of my seven lessons with her.

Ume is an excellent tutor. She is friendly, intuitive and helpful, and her teaching style is clear and methodical. Her lessons are interactive and engaging. She provides lots of examples throughout the lesson and helped me to work through them which I found very helpful. If I don’t understand something she provides clear explanations making it easy to understand the most complex concepts. I am extremely pleased with her tuition, so I would 100% recommend her. From Khadija (student 2)
Ume is a phenomenal tutor and she works hard to prepare well-organised and engaging teaching lessons. She is kind and approachable. Her teaching style is encouraging, and she does best to teach every lesson and uses lots of examples and practice questions to assess my strengths and weaknesses to ensure that she provides personalised learning content in every lesson. I felt more confident now than I was during my first lesson. I am really enjoying my tutoring lessons. I would strongly recommend Ume as a tutor. From Ayshia (student 3)
