Mes taught my son for 6 months after he failed his Mocks…English Language and Literature. She really did well with him as he came out with strong passes in both main exams (assessments) Thanks a million.

Mes tutored our daughter for the 11+ and we can not recommend her enough. She was so supportive and gave our daughter so much confidence. Our daughter passed the 11+. Thank you so much for your help Mes.

Mrs Marriott has been tutoring our daughter over the summer holidays to help prepare her for starting secondary school. Our daughter has looked forward to her lesson each week and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a tutor.

Mes is an excellent tutor who is friendly, professional and reliable. She gave Sophie much more confidence in her ability and was always on hand to help even after the lesson. I would highly recommend Mes if you need an English tutor for GCSE English language and literature .

Mes offers a bespoke essay proofing service that I was fortunate enough to access at a critical time in my academic career. She provides insights on the use of arguments, quality of analysis and the essay's ability to offer a critical reflection on key fault lines of discussion. Going beyond normal expectations , she encourages you to read outside of your limited depth of literature , directing you to to additional readings which provide useful streams of discussion. Quick turnaround with feedback too. I would definitely recommend her.

My grandson has been having lessons with Mesbah for quite a while. He is a bit of a fidget and Mes is very patient with him but makes sure that he concentrates on his work. She is very flexible and covers a range of subjects. During this recent Covid lockdown, she has setup a system to deliver sessions online which have proved very useful in maintaining his learning and helping him with school projects. Mes keeps us updated on his progress and I would recommend her to others.

A lovely teacher. She made the lessons interesting and easy to understand.

My daughter needed extra tuition to pass her English GCSE that she hadn't passed at school. Mes was fantastic going over the areas that my daughter needed to revisit. She inspired and pushed her to her full potential and guess what - she passed with marks to spare. I can't thank Mes enough.

Mes tutored my son for both his 11+ exams and for the local Boarding school which required him to sit an Academic test. In total she taught him for just under a year on a weekly basis with additional intensive lessons as and when needed. Mes was extremely professional and friendly and my son enjoyed his lessons with her. I would definitely recommend Mesbah for anyone who wants to provide their child with a well structured, fun and intuitive learning experience. She teaches your child and gives you straight talking feedback on their strengths and weaknesses, then plans an excellent strategy to get the best results. Oh and yes he passed his 11+ for both Grammar and Boarding school!

Mesbah gave my daughter a few top up English sessions, prior to her GCSE’s. She was friendly, caring & very informative. My daughter enjoyed her sessions and found Mes to be a great help. Would definitely recommend her.

Mesbah is my tutor she helped me gain my confidence before 11+ we are still going and trying our best to pass she encourages me to work hard and not be lazy she gives me games and website links that are fun and educational.

Mesbah helped my daughter gain confidence and improve skill in her weakest areas before 11+ Thanks Mesbah for your care and commitment.

Mes tutored our 15-year-old son for 3 months on the run up to his English GCSE's, we are awaiting results, but feel sure that having Mes around twice weekly has increased his chances of getting a higher grade. We noticed his ability to talk about what he needed to do become more positive and his confidence grow. We found Mes to be very caring, passionate and able to motivate in a way that we couldn’t. We will be calling on Mes when my daughter gets into year 10 to give her a boost. Thank you Mes, we’ll be in touch x

What a fantastic tutor! Since I started my English has improved significantly. I got the work a lot easier, reading poems also became so much easier. I struggle with one to one as I feel I have to get things right first time, here I felt comfortable and didn't feel embarrassed when I got something wrong as Miss helped me until I got it right. I can't thank her enough.

Mesbah has recently been tutoring our son Dylan in preparation for his English exams in year 11. Dylan had always struggled with revision and study prep work until meeting Mesbah. She introduced positive methods of study, provided good communications whilst building a friendly but professional approach with our son. We can’t recommend her enough for any additional study needs that you may require. Thanks again Mesbah.
Mrs P Smart (Wednesday, 31 May 2017 15:04)
English was my sons weakest subject but due to Mesbahs passion and patience hopefully he will get a B grade, Mesbah goes above her tutoring hours time,sends many useful links, marks exam papers and sets homework. But most of all my son is comfortable in Mesbahs company and happy to ask her questions which in turn has made him more confident in his English.
Mrs L. Withey (Sunday, 07 May 2017 16:56)
Mesbah has been tutoring my daughter who needs to re-sit her English exam. She has identified my daughter's weaknesses giving her strategies to improve which has made her more positive. She enjoys the friendly style of tutoring and always looks forward to her lesson, I am therefore confident with Mesbah's help it will make all the difference.
