"Sobia is an excellent tutor. From the moment we met her on Skype, she was warm and friendly and made us feel very comfortable. It was important to me that my daughter worked with someone she was comfortable with, and she was.
Sobia understood our goal and prepared Açelya accordingly within the short time frame we had. Working with Sobia had definitely improved Açelya's chances of achieving her aim.
Furthermore, Sobia always made sure she answered any questions or problems we had outside of tutorial times. This was much appreciated.
I would definitely recommend her to anyone."

"Sobia worked with my children aged 12, 10 and 8 years. She supported them in homework preparation as well as specific work on exam technique and covering exam material.
After much hard work they have been successful in gaining places at Eton College, Godolphin and Latymer School and Westminster Under School. I would recommend Sobia to anyone looking for support in both exam applications as well as supporting school work."

"I saw Sobia for four sessions in preparation for my QTS Maths test, having recently failed the test. During the sessions we worked through the questions I had struggled with in my revision, and Sobia explained the solutions to me in ways that I could more easily understand. She also showed me some very useful shortcuts in method for the timed mental arithmetic, which meant that I was able to answer the questions in the given time. Over our sessions I grew in confidence, and Sobia was very supportive in honing my exam technique so that I wouldn't panic when faced with difficult questions in the timed section. I passed the test after my four sessions with Sobia, and I couldn't recommend her enough!"

Picture this: It’s 3 a.m. in the morning and you’re in the nodding phase. Around you lie sheaves of papers stained with coffee rings and the words of Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart are starting to blur into a meaning-less haze as you ponder on the irony of its title, while dribbling in a half-doze - before jerking upright, looking about wildly and slapping yourself awake once again…
