Shim was a godsend! She started helping my daughter with one science and ended up helping her with all 3 in the run up to her GCSEs. My daughter really enjoyed her sessions and that made all the difference. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Shim to anyone.
From Gordon
My son needed support with GCSE physics and his teacher was not able to connect with him on the topic. Shim was great and able to help my son catch back up and explain things his teacher could not. He now has a new teacher and feels much more able to perform well and Shim has ensured he is ready for his final year with greater confidence. As a parent I found Shim to be responsive and flexible. My Son appreciates the support and Shims approach. Happy to recommend her.
From Raj
Shim has been a fantastic science tutor. In addition to moving schools and starting mid-term, my daughter faced several challenges which meant that she was well behind in the run up to her GCSEs.
We started looking for in-person science sessions at our home at the start of the year, just six months before the GCSE exams. Shim responded quickly to our initial request and within the first few sessions we knew we had found the right tutor for our daughter.
Shim's energy levels, enthusiasm and rapport-building kicked-in from day one, all of which helped build a strong relationship with our daugher based on trust, encouragement, and motivation. We saw an immediate change in our daughter's confidence and this just continued to improve.
In the end, our daughter obtained the results she needed to gain entry into her first choice college. Critically, Shim's support pushed her science up by TWO GRADE levels! We are beyond grateful to Shim and what she has managed to achieve, to the extent Shim is now tutoring our 13 year old daughter.
If you are looking for a great tutor and feel you need someone who can really connect with your child in a way most teachers cannot, and perhaps you have tried other private tutors, then we really couldn't recommend Shim more highly. Your child will thank you!
Thank you Raj. Absolute pleasure! R definately deserved her grades she worked so hard for them.
From Karen
I was originally requested Shim to tutor physics due to reading feedback from another parent with a young person with additional requirements. My daughter has autism, ADHD and other mental health challenges and therefore it was imperative to get the right tutor.
Shim has been amazing, she has worked and adapted the way she taught my daughter to suit Keiras needs. Originally teaching her physics, this was then changed to combined sciences. Shim was patient and inspirational to my daughter. But more significantly Keira attained a 6,6 which was far higher than she was predicted. Thank You so much
Absolute pleasure! Really pleased with the grades attained she deserved them.
From Janet
Professional and understanding and my daughter likes her.
From Catherine
My daughter missed much of her first year of GCSE due to mental health issues. She had little motivation and we decided to try a tutor to catch up. That’s when we met Shim who miraculously has managed to get her motivated to learn her combined science. My daughter has said that the way Shim explains everything makes it so easy to understand and has given her the confidence to say “I can do this”. I highly recommend Shim and am confident my daughter will attain the grades she needs to further her education, with the help of Shim, who makes science fun.
Thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot as a teacher to hear the sessions are having an impact.
