His knowledge of the subject, coupled with his engaging teaching style, has not only made complex concepts accessible but has also sparked a genuine interest in Physics in our son.

Abimfolu

Helen has taken my daughter in the following subjects – History, English/Literature. Since she has started with her, I have seen her history grades move from a 5 at the end of year 10 to an 8 and her predicted grade for GCSE is 9, same goes for English/Literature. The improvement is so pleasing. My daughter bonded with her immediately.

Ahan got tutored for year 13 Maths and Triple sciences from Abhay for a year. The overall experience was fantastic. Abhay is very knowledgeable.
