So Fun has been working with our daughter since the summer and has build her confidence and understanding of maths enormously. She has made improvements in her Mocks and overall is happy to work with So Fun in her lovely classroom.
From Tanya
Carmen was very patient and made a real difference to my daughter’s maths study. She was very thorough and it is very clear that she cares very much about her students. Very flexible and I would recommend her to any child needing a little help. Thank you !
Thank you for your lovely feedback! It has been a joy to teach P. She is always working hard and fully engaged. This is a quality that will stand her in good stead at college. Best wishes!!
From Yago
Carmen is an outstanding Math's teacher. My daughter Sara has massively increased her skills this year. Carmen is extremely knowledgeable and organised, and knows how to motivate the students to get the best from them. Thanks Carmen !!
Thank you for your feedback Yago. Sara has been a joy to teach and it is a great pleasure for me to see her develop! I have confidence that she will go far in her studies.
From sara
Really knows her stuff and is clear, friendly and engaging, making maths fun.
Thank you for your feedback Sara. Olly has been a joy to teach. I shall look forward to hearing from you on results day!
From Yvonne
As soon as I made contact with Carmen, her friendly and professional manner and understanding of the way forward, convinced me that she was the right person to help my daughter in GCSE maths. She put us at ease, my daughter liked her and felt comfortable with her immediately. Carmen really enabled her to grasp topics and she often came out of lessons on a high (unheard of!). After only a few lessons, my daughter’s confidence and attitude towards maths changed and she could see the difference it was making in class. She already felt she was coping and performing better in lessons. Sadly we may not get to see the impact that Carmen’s excellent tutoring would have had, as exams have been cancelled this summer but I recommend her without reservation. If exams do go ahead at any point, we will be back. Thank you so much Carmen.
Thank you for your kind comments Yvonne and it is my pleasure. Despite having a few lessons, I have really enjoyed teaching Lucy and thrilled that she had felt a vast improvement in such a short time. It is a great shame that I may not get to 'finish the job' and take her through to the exams.
From Amanda
My son greatly improved his ability in Maths with the tuition that Carmen provided. He felt very happy going to every session and his confidence improved significantly when he saw the results for himself at school.
Carmen made myself and my son very at ease from the start and always very accommodating with lesson times and extra sessions when exams got closer.
I can thoroughly recommend Carmen for anyone looking for help with Maths.
It was lovely working with Elliot. He is a very sensible young man with good work ethic. Certainly a pleasure to teach!
From Lisa
My daughter has been having weekly lessons with Carmen since September. Carmen made us both welcome at the first lesson which was very reassuring and made both my daughter and I feel at ease.
Carmen is a fantastic tutor who is professional, enthusiastic, punctual and works hard in supporting and guiding my daughter to reach her full potential in her weekly lessons. Carmen explains things clearly and is always there to support . My daughter has just sat her end of term maths exam and scored an 8 which would not have been possible without Carmens help as before September my daughter was achieving a grade 6 .
I am very happy with Carmen and can not recommend her enough. We certainly pick the right tutor.
Thank you Lisa. It's wonderful to see Izzy's progress grow from strength to strength. Due to her rate of progress, I am confident that she will do incredibly well next year when she takes her GCSES.
From Jamie
Thankyou, absolutey amazing tutor. Our son wouldnt have passed his gcse without your help.
Really glad to have helped. Bradley is a lovely young man who I'm sure will do well in his BTEC course.
From Anna
So today my son gained an 8 (A* in old money) for his maths GCSE, which follows inspiring and comprehensive tutoring by the best teacher he has ever come across. I can only say a big thank you as this has literally changed the course of his career as he is now able to study maths at A level and pursue his dream career of design engineering.
My intuition was spot on that calm, comprehensive maths tutoring, which he actually thoroughly enjoyed and looked forward to would make all the difference. In short thank you so much!
Brilliant news! I'm thrilled to have helped- a wonderful young man to teach. I am confident that Josh will do very well in his A levels and with his mindset, likewise in his chosen career path.
From Steve
Carmen was excellent with my daughter.
She was very personable and engaging from the first meeting which made Ashleigh much more receptive to learning. Once the lessons had begun, Carmen showed her vast experience to find the gaps in Ashleigh’s knowledge.
In this particularly difficult year for students due to the exams being made more difficult and the grade structure changing. Ashleigh was predicted a grade 6 in January 2017, after 16 lessons with Carmen she passed with an 8.
I cannot recommend Carmen highly enough.
Steve Baldwin
Thanks Steve. Ashleigh was wonderful to teach, a mature young lady and with a great sense of humour!
From Paula
Professional and enthusiastic tutor who helped my daughter achieve an A* in further maths in 3 months. Thanks for all your help and support!
Thank you Paula. Zoe was a pleasure to teach and a lot of fun! She is a very rounded individual and I have no doubt that she will go far in her studies.
From Arabella
Professional, punctual and extremely thorough. Very happy indeed - I know that our son is getting the very best support in maths!
Following on from my previous feedback we have now had Carmen teach my son for several months leading up to his Common Entrance exams. We could not be more pleased - she has proven herself to be so professional and thorough in her teaching. Always going the extra mile to ensure that all subjects are covered. My son ended up getting an "A" in this maths exam - thanks to Carmen's excellent teaching. Even after his exams were finished Jake had requested that he keep up his maths sessions with Carmen as he enjoyed them so much. She is even going to teach his younger brother as he has seen how much he has enjoyed them! We are very grateful for all Carmen's help.
Thank you Arabella. Jake is an absolute joy to teach and I look forward to our weekly lessons. His biggest quality is that he has a curious mind and because of this, Jake has made tremendous progress.
From Thomas
Amazing and patient teacher. with just a few teaching sessions i was able to pass my resit exam. would highly recommend So Fun for all ages of learning. Gave me different methods and ideas in approaching topics that i had struggled with before and boosted my confidence before the exam.
many thanks.
Thanks Tom. Happy to have helped.
From Amanda
I would highly recommend Carmen. She helped my son age 12 with his maths over the summer holidays and I would definitely use her again! Thanks Carmen.
From Toni
Carmen has been helping my 8 year old daughter for a number of weeks now. She has a very calm and soft manner which is perfectly suited to my daughter as she is unsure in her maths ability. Carmen immediately put my daughter at ease and established a trust and rapport with her very quickly. My daughter is making slow but steady progress and seems to dread doing maths less already.
Carmen is always on time for our sessions and has great communication whenever needed. I would definitely recommend her to others.
From Man
Ms Carmen has excellent teaching abilities and interpersonal communication skills that she has demonstrated in helping our daughter who is doing her GCSE exams. soon. My daughter has overcome many of her weaknesses in GCSE maths. Ms is dedicated and efficient in helping her students. I can unreservedly recommend her.
From Karl
Excellent tutor, provides great feedback and sets appropriate and challenging homework. I would have no problem in recommending Carmen to any potential pupil or parent.
From Sajer
(GCSE Maths/stat) Carmen is very patient and calm. She delivers her subject at a suitable pace for my son and I am watching her confidence grow week by week. Carmen experience help her alots ,also her commitment is very , Thank you Carmen.
From Penny
I hired Carmen in september 2011 as my daughter was really struggling with maths and both myself and the school felt it was unlikely that she waas going to to pass her GCSE in maths. She has been an excellent tutor, really patient and kind with my daughter. She has managed to quell her lifelong fear of mathematics, and to both her and my delight she has taken her GCSE mathematics and passed with a c grade. I do believe this was largely down to the part carmen played and I have no hesitiation in recommending her as a tutor
Thank you Penny. Erin was a pleasure to teach.
From Eleanor
Carmen is very patient and calm. She delivers her subject at a suitable pace for my daughter and I am watching her confidence grow week by week. Thank you Carmen.
From Dawn
Carmen was happy to meet with us before starting with any maths tutoring , and after having a few session with my daughter i am more than happy to let Carmen go forward the way she sees fit, always prompt and well prepared
From Julian
We are very happy to let Carmen get on and do maths with my daughter as she see's fit. My daughter was definately not struggling, but now seems genuinely inspired. I wish she'd take as much notice of me!
From Kate
