"Sobia is a great teacher and is very supportive. She will encourage you to do your best and gentle nudge you in the right direction.
We had 2 children tutored by her who are very different and she adapted her style to suit each child and brought out the best in them. With a last minute decision for the children to seat 11+ and 13+ scholarship (for Harrow), Sobia’s teaching technique was effect as both children passed and got into schools of their choice.
Thanks Sobia we will be coming back with our 3rd child at the appropriate time."

Parent of 13+ Maths, English and Science Harrow Entrance Student
"(My son) was tutored by Sobia over the past six months in preparation for the Scholarship exams in Harrow.
Before the classes, he had a more technical bias and focused his reading on documentaries and non-fictional literature. Sobia certainly encouraged my son to understand and analyse different types of poetry and prose. She taught him how to analyse any piece of literature in depth, giving enough details and paying attention to the specificity of language devices and techniques. (My son) practiced these skills by doing past papers and Sobia provided very helpful, very detailed and specific feedback that allowed to really zero on the areas of improvement. (My son) now has much more confidence to form a clear view on the meaning and hence can comment more effectively. He has become more enthusiastic about reading and now can provide very compelling interpretations."
