As an unmotivated student with low self-esteem, I was skeptical about being tutored through my English GCSE. However, after my first few lessons with Zainab, my confidence and enthusiasm began to improve. The lessons were both highly engaging and challenging, and took an analytical/discussion based approach - encouraging critical thought about the wider world in relation to the subject matter. With Zainab, you’ll definitely learn so much more than just the core study material!

I thoroughly recommend her to anyone looking for a tutor!

Zainab is a very competent and supportive teacher who really makes a difference to your academic performance. Zainab will contribute to a student’s development not just academically, but also professionally and personally. The critical skills Zainab gives you will help not just with English language and literature, but all areas of life!

Zainab was a great tutor who always made me feel comfortable and never silly if I didn’t know the answer or made a mistake. I was struggling with English for a long time as I wasn’t bonding with my teacher. It was thanks to Zainab that I managed to pull my grades up and actually feel proud of what I had achieved after sitting my exams. She is incredibly kind, devoted, and patient.

She is extremely determined to enable you to not only succeed in mastering the content of the exams but also enabling you to analyse and think about texts you read so you can explore and write about it in depth with your own views and enthusiasm giving you the best chance to earn the top band marks available. She is always passionate about her subject and never hesitated to instill this within me, comforting me when situations were difficult and giving me the tools of confidence to progress ahead to try solve the issue rather than being despondent. She has still kept in touch even after I left and has been a reassuring and motivating figure in my life whom I can take inspiration from and perform better due to.
