I wanted to thank Sobia for her excellent tutoring; my son got admission into his desired A level school. We are new to the UK and she patiently helped my son understand how the interview system works. She provided tailor support to suit my son's needs and guided him through general interviews and subject interviews. She was very accommodative and adjusted the class whenever needed. We are very grateful to Sobia for helping my son achieve admissions in his dream school.

Recent testimonials

Sobia is well organised, personable and inspires confidence (and justifiably so). We engaged Sobia to provide orientation on 16+ entrance exams to our daughter who is bright and confident academically but hadn't sat for either 11+ or 13+ entrance exams so didn't know what to expect. Sobia was always well prepared, engaging and positive - our daughter really enjoyed the sessions with her and was offered a sixth form place with an academic scholarship at Brighton College. Highly recommended.
