Student writing Testimonials

Thank you for helping me rebuild my confidence in AQA Chemistry. The resources given really helped me fully understand certain parts of the course I found challenging, and I couldn’t have achieved an A without your help. I am so happy I can write this testimonial for you and recommend you to my peers!

A small sample of Testimonials from the last 3 years

Zara is an amazing tutor, she took her time to teach every topic on the AQA Biology specification in detail. After every lesson, I felt confident that I understood all of the material we covered that day.

Emily Lauren, 2019

My daughter felt her knowledge of Chemistry was not secure enough in relation to the mathematical elements. Zara was able to tap into this and in a few lessons provided her with the confidence she was lacking and she went on to get an A. Many thanks Zara. I can’t recommend you enough.

Niki, parent, 2018

Zara was very effective in terms of improving my exam technique and enabling me to answer the most difficult questions in particular. I felt much more confident going into the exam and achieved the grade I wanted in OCR Biology A Level thanks to Zara

Student writing Testimonials and studying online

Zara tutored Kate for the summer term of year 12 and really helped her improve her exam technique in Chemistry OCR A for A-level. The sessions gave her a lot of confidence in her ability to answer questions and helped her improve her grade from a C/D to an A! She was very patient and thorough and made sure she understood everything, and Kate felt she could always ask any questions. We are very pleased with her progress!

Joanna S, 2018

We were looking for a tutor for AQA A level Biology, for the final year. Zara was so helpful and accommodating. She really helped me understand the theory of those topics that I was having trouble with. Explained everything to me in a way that made sense and helped me see the wood for the trees. Thanks Zara!!

Neve B, 2018

Our daughter is in the lower sixth studying A level Chemistry. Zara is very thorough and our daughter`s confidence has improved. Zara is supportive, knowledgeable and encouraging. We are happy to write this testimonial, and would recommend her to other students.

More Testimonials from the last 8 years

My daughter had gaps in her AS learning due to illness which needed to be filled as well as consolidating the A2 work she was doing at school. Zara was able to simplify complicated concepts and teach them in a way which helped my daughter grasp and remember them . She looked forward to her lessons with Zara and we couldn’t be more pleased with the support given, the boost to her confidence and the outcome.

My daughters Edexcel SNAB Biology result improved by 2 grades between AS and A level and this, together with her result in (OCR A) Chemistry, secured a place on a competitive course at her first choice Russell Group university. We highly recommend Zara if you need a science tutor in Bristol. Thank you Zara!

Thank you so much for all your help with OCR Biology and OCR A Chemistry. It’s made all the difference, I don’t think I would have had the confidence to even sit the exams without your help

Neveh M, BGS, sixth form

Zara was friendly and encouraging from my first session with her. She was so helpful in not only reinforcing my knowledge on the OCR A Biology course, but she also provided me with new information that I had not covered in my sixth form lessons which was necessary to complete the course. Her notes are thoroughand she is happy to focus on aspects of the course that you struggle with. Her method of explanation is fantastic and she always provides examples to aid understanding along with diagrams which are great for visual learners. I am so glad that I had tutoring from Zara and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for tutoring.

Elizabeth SH, Gordano, sixth form

Zara was extremely helpful to me whilst I was preparing for my Biology and Chemistry Foundation Science retakes. We only had a short amount of time to cover a lot of content and she managed to do that for me who hardly knew anything with Chemistry. She is very easy to get a long with and puts in a lot of effort to organize the lessons. We had one-on-one sessions which was great because she was able to give me the attention I need and was able too explain and teach me things in a way I’d understand. I’d highly recommend Zara for anyone doing Chemistry or Biology, whether it is A-Level or a Foundation Degree level.

C. Court, University student

I was really struggling with A level Chemistry at the beginning of AS. I felt as if I did not understand anything in lesson and my predicted grade was not what I hoped to achieve. Towards the end of AS I starting tutoring in OCR B chemistry with Zara for my second AS exam. Zara helped me with the hardest exam in which I achieved an A, in the exam which Zara did not tutor me in I achieved a C! With this difference I immediately knew I needed Zaras help for the second year of my A levels too.

Zara’s support and homework really helped me understand what the examiner would be looking for in the exam which, increased my confidence for the exam as well. Zara also aided me in my A2 coursework, guiding me and helping me identify any mistakes. Without Zara I would have NEVER have achieved the A* I did in my coursework! Zara is also such an easy going and lovely person to work with, who really understands what she is teaching! Would definitely recommend!!

Zunera, St Mary Redcliffe, sixth form

I would have really struggled in OCR A Chemistry and SNAB Biology, if it wasn’t for Zara. She was incredibly supportive and explained things in a logical way that just made things make sense! She was extremely clear and made concise notes that you could come back to and revise from easily, knowing that you had all the information on a couple sheets of paper. Her knowledge was incredible and she’d have an immediate answer to any question and I was always shocked how much we covered in one session and how my understanding of the content increased! A swell as all this she was lovely and friendly and I enjoyed going round each week!

Marianne, Cotham Post16

I was taught A2 OCR A Chemistry by Zara after getting a low grade at AS. She really brought out my confidence and her knowledge on the subject is inspiring. Without her lessons I wouldn’t have even had a chance on getting my target grade, and not only is she an amazing tutor, she is always approachable outside of lessons to help with any questions. Zara’s focus on exam questions practice made the actual exam a lot less scary and I highly recommend her to anyone!

Natasha, Winterbourne Academy, sixth form

I approached Zara for my A2 retakes for AQA Chemistry, as I did not get the grades I needed the first time around. Thanks to her help, I managed to secure a place this year for pharmacy – I could not have achieved this without her support.
