PalguniReviews rating

Jaye is a really helpful tutor who helps identify your weaknesses and strengths as a student and guides you efficiently towards improving them!

BelindaReviews rating

Professional, kind, organised and patient. Am so grateful to find Nanditha. Such a great resource and help during our year 12 studies. Can’t recommend her any more highly. Has been a seamless experience and I know it will continue to be. Very reliable. 

KhanhReviews rating

Tania has a lovely way of teaching. She is calm, patient and succinct without ‘over teaching’. She was able to very quickly identify what worked with our year 12 son and gain his trust and respect. She has helped him grow in confidence in his English analysis, text and article responses - and his enjoyment of English. He also draws on these skills in assessing media reports! We have had such a fabulous experience with Tania and would come back to her in a heartbeat for any future tutoring needs. Thank you so much, Tania!

MelissaReviews rating

Sophie is a reliable and organised tutor. She is responsive and has assisted our son in various subjects, including Science, History and English. We highly recommend Sophie as a tutor.

AmeliaReviews rating

I think Atifa is really helpful and understanding. I have been doing alright with English and tutoring with Atifa has helped me improved. Through my persuasive writing, there is a clear improvement and it has been more visual through my marks as well. She is friendly and kind and is a great help when revising overwork and assignments. She is honest when it is needed and provides constructive feedback. She is a great tutor and to be her student is an honour.
