Unfortunately Farhad did not make contact with me when he arranged. Therefore I looked elsewhere for another tutor. Unfortunately when tutors do not keep commitments this can cause confusion with finders fees. I’m sure you are a great tutor but you need to make contact with people of interest when you say you will. Thankyou.
From Kallam
We sought Farhad’s services at the start of 2020 to give our son a head-start in both National 5 Chemistry and National 5 Physics for the then, upcoming 2020-2021 school year. Our son achieved excellent results in both subjects and will now undertake both at Higher level in 2021-2022. He also recently completed a summer holiday program with Farhad which will allow him to crash Higher Biology in 2021-2022. He will continue to receive semi-weekly lessons from Farhad throughout the 2021-2022 school year in Higher Chemistry and Higher Biology. The fact that our relationship with Farhad has now reached 18 months (and is set to continue for a further 12 months) is testament to our level of satisfaction regarding Farhad’s ability as a tutor, which we believe has been a key enabler in allowing our son to net excellent academic results. Our son has described Farhad as engaging; able to express and explain ideas and concepts clearly; and highly knowledgeable of subject matter. He has become a more confident learner under Farhad’s tutelage.
From Clare
Only one lesson with Farhad so far but kids loved him and his innovative teaching methods which really kept them engaged!
From Elham
Ever since my younger sister has started tuition with Farhad, she has improved drastically in both the 11+ Test and Maths. He is very patient, reassuring and prepares the lessons throughly. Ever week homework is set and checked as well as having a walk through of the tasks that my sister finds difficult. She enjoys and looks forward to having the lessons, Farhad is making such a positive impact! Highly recommend Farhad to anyone requiring guidance. Thank you for all the help and support!
From Dorcas
Excellent tutor. Establishes a good rapport first time with his tutees. He has the whole knowledge of the subject at hand. Farhad is always punctual and delivers the content of the subject home. He goes an extra mile of sending the link to the lessons he has taught to the tutee. This is important as the tutee doesn't have to be taking notes during lessons but instead concentrate on listening. Farhad's teaching makes the student an active participant instead of just being told. Am glad to have found Farhad for my son's tuition. Would recommend him to anyone in need of a tutor.
From amara
Really kind and friendly tutor, strengths definitely include getting comfortable with the child so that they can learn and understand comfortably without any hesitation.
From Sandra
Organised Farhad very much last minute to help with our son Gregor attaining his National 5 maths this year. He very quickly grasped the areas in which Gregor was struggling with and gave him a greater confidence in all areas. Farhad could not have been any more helpful especially at the beginning of Covid when he organised Skype sessions for Gregor’s lessons. Pleased to say Gregor passed the exam and has now gained an apprenticeship in his chosen trade. Could not recommend Farhad highly enough. Sandra Cameron
From Raegan
I needed to achieve a B in National 5 Maths to secure a place at my first choice university to study Primary Education and become a teacher. Thanks to Farhad, although exams did not go ahead this academic year, I was deservingly awarded a grade B from SQA. Farhad has given me confidence in my ability which I lacked before and helped me to thoroughly study the national 5 course. With Farhad's help I did well in my prelim exam and class tests which ultimately formed my evidence to prove I was deserving of a B. Thanks Farhad!
From David
Our son was very reluctant to get assistance from a tutor however Farhad immediately put him at ease and our son really enjoyed the weekly sessions and his confidence and understanding of the subject improved significantly in a short period of time. We would not hesitate to turn to Farhad again for tutoring and highly recommend his services to others.
From Mark
Excellent! As a parent I found Farhad very professional - he just got on with tutoring my son and kept in touch when required. My son always enjoyed his sessions with Farhad and found them very beneficial. The tutoring environment he uses is excellent! I have no hesitation in recommending him and if we do require tutoring services again, Farhad will be 1st on our list.
From Karen
Arranged a lesson, text on morning of lesson and got no response. Finally got in touch several days later. Had to organise another tutor in-between. Have rescheduled and will see how that goes.
From Renee
Farhad has been a game changer for my son in so many ways. Not only has he taught my son chemistry in a meaningful and applicable way, he has boosted my son's confidence and his passion for the subject, which was rapidly declining until now. Farhad is a brilliant, inspirational tutor whom I highly recommend, and my son would concur. I cannot say enough positive things about him!
From Petra
There is not enough stars to grade Farhad’s level of tuition nor I can’t thank him enough!!! Farhad became my sons first resource whenever they need a boost at school. Farhad helped both of my boys to prepare for 11+ exams and they have both expressed themselves, that they would not be as successful without Farhad’s help. Both of my boys are delighted with his way of teaching and general approach. Farhad always gives a great advice to apply, I will always be happy to travel miles for his service, he is constantly providing to my children!
From Alex
Farhad is currently giving my son tutoring for maths, I believe his help is giving my son the confidence needed to progress in maths, something his school has failed to do.
From Julie
Farhad is absolutely Brilliant. He’s helping my daughter massively in her higher biology as he just seems to have a a great way of putting things across to suit individual needs. Thoroughly recommend him.
From Georgina
My son enjoys his lessons with Farhad and feels they are very beneficial.
From Simon
Farhad is a first class tutor, my son went from struggling in Physics to a pass in Nat5 in a matter of just a few months with Farhad's help. Farhad is professional, intuitive, well organised and very easy to get along with, I highly recommend him.
From Fiona
My son Rory was due to take Nat 5 and had no confidence in his ability for Physics and Chemistry. he was lost in the classes at school. Thanks to Farhad he really enjoyed his weekly 2 hour sessions on Physics and Chemistry. His understanding and enthusiasm grew and with it his confidence. Rory took his Nat 5s last week in both subjects and came out with a huge smile! I can't thank Farhad enough for that. He is a great tutor and we thoroughly recommend him.
From Frazer
My daughter is learning well .
From Kirsty
My daughter is very pleased with the help she is getting from Farhad, delighted to have found him!
From Marie
Farhad is an amazing tutor. He is totally professional, my sons confidence in maths has soared in the short time Farhad has been teaching him. I would thoroughly recommend him and am so glad we chose farhad as a turor for our son
From Janice
Professional. Teaching is a very high standard. Very good interaction with my child helps her understanding of subjects. Highly recommended.
Zoe got a very good grade in her nat 5.
From Janet
Both my son and daughter had Farhad this year for Nat 5 and Higher Biology. He was always on time and very polite. They said that he explained the course work well and helped them understand it more easily than within their class at school. I would recommend Farad to anyone who needed to use a tutor in the future.
From Susan
My son thoroughly enjoyed his sessions with Farhad and learnt a lot from them. He was initially very reluctant to have a tutor and had lost interest at school. Not only did Farhad help him with his maths and physics but he has really motivated my son for the year ahead.
From Reagan
Only had 2 sessions and feel already confident about my exams and feel that its giving me a big boost! highly recommend
From Debbie
From Louise
Farhad tutored my daughter in National 5 Biology and Maths and was a very reliable and competent tutor. Emily gained confidence and a greater understanding of those subjects through her sessions with Fahrad. He also took the extra time to set and mark homework for Emily outside of the tutoring session. Both Emily and I would happily recommend Fahrad as a tutor.
From Alastair
He carried out tutoring in both Maths and Biology in my house, always on time and giving my son homework and study notes to help in preparation for his Nat 5 exams.
From Kathy
Farhad Chowdray is a brilliant tutor. Olivia is feeling so confident since starting tuition with him. He is very thorough in his way of teaching subjects. He rates as 5 star. A brilliant tutor
From Kate
From Vicki
Farhad was very prompt to replying to our request in looking for a tutor for physics. My son really enjoyed the first session he had with Farhad. He found him really easy to get on with and is looking forward to being tutored by him for further sessions.
From Karen
Farhad was a a great choice of tutor for my daughter's National 5 Chemistry in 2015. He helped gain better knowledge & understanding in the subject on a one-to-one basis that cannot be achieved in class. Final result was an excellent pass. Would certainly recommend Farhad.
From Courtney
Mr (Farhad) has been tutoring my granddaughter in Maths recently. He is very professional, friendly and extremely easy to speak to. My granddaughter is finding his tutoring very helpful.
From Marion
From Wayne
Thank you Farhad, Wayne really enjoyed your sessions and he felt it helped him 100%…
From Celia
Very nice and very helpful. Good communication with student and parent.
From Nathan
the postcode that he has listed on this site is different from where he is as he has moved and not updated his details on this site therefore he was too far away. As such it was a waste of time an money requesting the details and therefore I will be requesting a refund of the fee charged.
I am very sorry that you've committed to buying my contact details only to discover that, although I am a matter of 10 minutes from the address provided to you by First Tutors, I have indeed changed address and have not updated this on the site. I did try to make this clear to you when you first contacted me by text, giving you my new address. As I stated in my reply, I am still willing to meet up should you wish to continue with tuition. Please get in touch if you are still interested.
From Abbas
Very helpful received and A.
Delighted to hear that you got an A - well done! All the best.
From Allan
Farhad has engaged very well with our son Thomas and has improved his grades Substantially in maths and chemistry standard grades achieving good credit Level passes. Fahrad has a very warm manner and I would thoroughly recommend him.
From Alison
Farhad has been an excellent investment. He has reinvigorated my daughters interest in chemistry and she now seems to be enjoying the subject, as well as understanding it. She has achieved a 1 in her recent prelim which has been confidence building. Farhad has a good teaching style which has allowed a positive relationship to be established whilst ensuring that the necessary work is tackled. Farhad takes time to identify specific areas requiring clarity to ensure understanding. I have no hestation in recommending Farhad as a suitable chemistry tutor.
Thank you very much for the feedback Alison. It has been a pleasure tutoring Heather; she is a very capable student and I'm chuffed that she's done so well in her exams.
From Labaran
My daughter is very much happy with his tuition as she is now very confident in her chemistry subject. Again, she will soon gets grip of maths as they have just started. Thanks for your service.
I'm really pleased for her - I hope that she continues to gain confidence going into her exams next year. She's a bright girl - which has made tutoring easy! Thanks for your feedback!
