From sharon
tuition did not proceed
From Elma
Very good tutor, breaks things down for you understand at your own rate. Highly recommend.
From Donna
We have only had three tutoring sessions so far, today's will be the forth. We have found Rafia to be polite and accommodating. Rafia presents as being very knowledgeable in Maths and at understanding Georgia's level and capability.
Georgia does have dyslexia, so it is very important that the tutor goes at Georgia's pace, she really needs her confidence building and needs to feel confident that she can ask the tutor to slow down and/or ask for it to be explained again, it is more about pacing it and not rushing it. It's early days and it takes a little to build a rapport .
We are happy to continue with the tutoring with Rafia
From Saeeda
My child is very satisfied with teaching methods of Rafia. I have found an organised, highly professional and reliable tutor in her.
From Subramaniam
Really thorough explanations and is very approachable. She is able to work slowly and help build your knowledge up as well as making sure you are understanding everything and communicates really well. Would definitely recommend to others.
It's a pleasure to teach your daughter Rafia
From Salma

From Mandy
Only 3 weeks in but my daughter is very happy with Rafia's teaching supportive style.
From Pooja
She is a good teacher but only for the children who are already in certain level! If any child is struggling then she finds it hard to handle them but instead labels them as a special needs! I had to take my son to her place for the tutoring as it was my first time and I found her too loud .Her surrounding where she gives the lessons was too disturbing as the computer was beeping every 5 minutes and her answering her phone added it all up for the child to get distracted the lessons!
sorry Pooja that I was not able to help your son as i felt he needed a specialist teacher who could meet his needs. I could have continued teaching him but as a parent myself I did not feel right taking your hard earned money and not being able to help him make progress wishing you both well

From Kasia
With Rafia's help I could see my grades and my confidence in biology go up almost imediately. Each lesson is well planned in advance so when it comes to the session I know what I am about to get and I can bend the content around my strenghs and weaknesses in a given topic. Rafia explains things really well and now with my exams in January I have high hopes for what I can achieve thanks to the help Rafia has given me.
