"Thank you very much - Sobia was a perfect tutor for my daughter. My daughter was concerned about the college requirements and verbal reasoning tests. With Sobia's thorough, professional and friendly support, she went to the exams confident and feeling well-prepared. And, she got the interview! Many thanks indeed."

"Sobia is a wonderful teacher to have! She helps my son with English, Biology, Critical Thinking and General Paper, etc. for his 16+ exam to top UK boarding schools. She has very broad knowledge and could do many subjects. I am usually skeptical about tutoring, but Sobia changed it! She always goes the extra mile to help, which is really helpful and takes lots of pressure off me! My son really enjoys the online class and is confident about exams. We are so lucky to have Sobia!"
