amazing tutor, perfect for my son.

Sonali has been teaching my son for the last two years. She was recommended by a good friend, whose son has had the benefit of Sonali's help for the last 5 years. As English is not my first language, it has been extremely difficult for me to help my son.

I find Sonali professional and knowledgeable. My son lost a year of schooling due to Covid and he had a lot of catching up to do. He goes to a private school, so he has a lot of pressure to keep up with the school work. Before I was introduced to Sonali, I was so concerned about my son's lack of understanding, that I was prepared to change his school. I highly recommend Sonali because within 3 -4 months I could see how much my son has learned and what a great improvement he has made at school.

Sonali knows the curriculum inside out and what I appreciate the most is that she gets the best out of my son. Even if he feels lazy, uninterested or moody, she manages to engage him fairly quickly. Also, my son responds well to her witty character, fun teaching style and the lovely reward system that she uses. It is highly effective for helping him to do his best at all times.

She gives comprehensive feedback after the lessons and texts or emails often to suggest additional activities and extra homework, which I find absolutely priceless for my son's development. He has progressed rapidly with Sonali's help.

I just read the last review which seems to complain about Sonali talking to the father of one student. She talks to my husband and myself equally, as that can only benefit my son in the long run. Sonali has been nothing short of kind, friendly and caring towards my son, and our whole family. I can't sing her praises enough!

Response by Sonali on 14/09/2025:

I really enjoy teaching your son. He is gradually maturing, which is lovely to see.

His listening skills and concentration have developed greatly. This in turn has helped your son to work more independently. I have tried to address any gaps in his learning, in order to challenge him further. Recently, he has shown more focus and works hard in order to achieve better results. What a joy to see a smile on his face when he remembers facts from previous lessons and starts to apply them to his work.

His attitude towards our lessons has changed as he is becoming more confident with his newly acquired skills. With positive reinforcement from both parent and tutor, I know your son will succeed in whatever he chooses to do.
