Reviews

I am currently a student in year 12; Amber has been my tutor for the past year and a half. She has been extremely beneficial for my learning, both in UCAT and in school topics such as biology and chemistry. Amber is extremely knowledgeable and her instructions are clear, precise, and easy to understand. I have definitely seen an improvement in my knowledge and understanding of UCAT with Amber, as I started with absolutely no knowledge on the topic and am now able to successfully navigate all subsections. I would 100% recommend Amber to all who are seeking a helpful, friendly, and engaging tutor.

Amber provided exceptional guidance during my Year 12 Chemistry and Biology journey. Her teaching style is a blend of clarity and encouragement, effortlessly breaking down complex concepts making science understandable and enjoyable. Her innovative methods, including interactive demonstrations, made understanding easy. Amber's standout quality is her unwavering dedication, going above and beyond to ensure understanding and confidence, even offering extra help outside regular hours. Her encouragement shaped my academic confidence, fostering my motivation to push boundaries for excellence in year 12. Amber's interest extended beyond academics, aiding in university applications and interview preparation. Her warmth and approachability create a valued mentor-student relationship. Amber has profoundly enriched my Year 12 experience, leaving a lasting impact on both academic understanding and personal growth. I wholeheartedly recommend her to those seeking a tutor dedicated to student success.

Amber helped me in IB chemistry from the start of year 12 up to my exams and was always very organised and patient. Her lessons helped fill gaps in my knowledge of different topics and effectively helped me to overcome my areas of weaknesses. She brings positivity to every lesson and is understanding and dedicated to helping me learn, providing different pathways of thinking. After going to her lessons, I feel more confident in my knowledge and less stressed. Having Amber working with me also allowed me to enjoy learning chemistry and reduced the difficulty of the course for me, which overall helped me to achieve my personal best in chemistry.

Amber has worked with me since the beginning of this year across a diverse range of subjects. I really value Amber’s teaching style, as she offers in-depth, personalised explanations that allow me to substantially understand concepts. Amber is bubbly, polite, extremely organised, and always brings a positive attitude with her- she is a pleasure to worth with 😋!

Amber is a very good and engaging tutor. She always helps when needed and provides great help in UCAT and any other subjects I needed help in. She is by far the best tutor I had in this past year.

Amber started tutoring me in late 2020 in preparation for my Stage 2 Biology exam, and I couldn't have been more grateful for her help. She not only explained content and answered my questions in great detail, but also focused on helping me to improve the effectiveness of my study, through introducing me to study techniques such as spaced repetition and active recall. Because of this, I was able to see improvements in my performance across all subjects, and my studying approach has become so much more effective and consistent! Amber now tutors me in other Stage 2 subjects as well as UCAT, and she ensures that our lessons are targeted towards my specific needs, through creating personalized learning materials and providing tailored feedback! She is a lovely tutor and person, who shows a genuine passion for helping her students. I highly recommend her to any students seeking academic support! :)
