I was looking for a tutor for my 8 year old daughter who struggles with arithmetic but more particularly her confidence with arithmetic and with school work generally.
Laura has tutored Milly several times now and milly has already made fantastic progress. She really looks forward to her time with Laura and Laura manages to teach her arithmetic in a way that is fun. She plays games with Milly with rewards for success which really motivates her.
Importantly Laura understands exactly what level to teach Milly at and has suggested really helpful homework apps and work books for Milly to use to help her progress between sessions.
I would thoroughly recommend Laura as a tutor. She has a great manner with kids, has helped Milly progress significantly with arithmetic and confidence in only a matter of weeks, and most importantly Milly now enjoys arithmetic as opposed to being scared of it!
From Gill
I am very happy to recommend Laura as a tutor. Laura is very accommodating, she spent time assessing my daughter (P5) and has pitched her teaching at the right level for her. Her teaching is also curriculum relevant and she spends time at the end of every session to explain what has been taught so that we can consolidate learning at home. Although we have only had a few sessions to date it is clearly evident she has genuine interest in helping my daughter.
Furthermore my daughter is dyslexic and so has ASN. I consider my daughter and I very lucky to have found Laura when she is new to Edinburgh and still has availability.
I will be continuing with Laura's services and would not hesitate to recommend her.
From Sally
Laura is organised, helpful and encouraging. She works collaboratively with the student to cover areas that need consolidation and has lots of tips and techniques that are easy to apply, and build confidence and learning. Laura is also very pleasant and personable and I would highly recommend her as a tutor.

I can’t actually praise Laura enough. She is one of the best tutors we have ever had for our 15 year old. She is extremely knowledgeable, approachable and always keen to help. My son is sitting his National 5’s and his English has improved a lot since getting lessons with Laura. He looks forward to his lessons and has a positive connection with Laura. She is great at motivating him and being positive, which is vital for teenagers at this high pressure stage of exams I only wish Laura could tutor all the subjects! 5 stars ( excellent) from us!

Laura always comes well prepared and has a professional approach toward the teaching. She is nice and friendly. My daughter loves and enjoy the way Laura teaches her. Laura makes the study material interesting and easy to understand for her. She always looks forward for her next lesson with Laura.
Thanks Sahdia. Feedback is always hugely appreciated! Naveera is a delight to teach.
