Award-Winning, Accredited Specialist Tutor | IBMS President’s Prize for Academic Excellence | 1100% Admissions Success |99% Grades 7-9 | MSc Neuroscience, King’s College London

Our daughter had been home educated since Year 8 and had received tuition in several subjects, yet English and Maths remained confusing as she approached her GCSEs. Ume’s diagnostic assessment identified the missing foundations and why previous support had not worked. She then taught the complete GCSE English and Maths curricula in a structured sequence, building our daughter’s independence and confidence under exam conditions. Within a year, her final GCSE results were Grade 9s in Maths and English Language and Grade 8s in English Literature and Further Maths. She received offers from every college she applied to, including MPW London, and secured her first choice, Ashbourne College London. Ume now tutors her in A-level Biology and Chemistry and she is consistently achieving A* grades in class tests. These results gave us complete confidence to ask Ume to prepare our son for the 13+ admissions assessments and interviews for St Paul’s School and Eton College. We highly recommend

My two daughters, who are in Years 10 and 11, receive ongoing tuition from Ume across all three GCSE sciences: Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Ume was recommended to us by a friend, and we plan to continue working with her for the foreseeable future. Before moving to London, we lived in Canada, where the education system they experienced was much more relaxed than the UK system. They had missed two years of school and had never previously been taught science, leaving considerable gaps in their subject knowledge. Although both are bright and hardworking, they found the pace and demands of GCSE Science difficult, struggled to keep up with lessons and had lost confidence and become disengaged from science at school. Ume understood our situation and designed well-planned lessons around each daughter’s individual gaps and learning needs. Her sessions have clear objectives, follow the GCSE curriculum and give them meaningful goals to work towards. She carefully balances recovering miss

Ume is preparing my home-schooling daughter for her GCSE exams in chemistry, biology and physics. Ume is a very organised, consistent and patient tutor. She builds a good relationship with my daughter, encourages her to be an active listener and ask questions, explains concepts in different ways when my daughter does not understand, and gives her tests and quizzes. Ume also organises meetings with parents to provide updates on their child’s progress. My daughter and I would recommend Ume as a tutor to anyone who needs support to succeed in GCSE science.
