My son was very happy with the tuition he received from Sumayya - she was very knowledgeable in Chemistry, Biology & Physics and my son's understanding of the subjects improved considerably. I'm happy to recommend her.
Thank you for your kind feedback! Farhan is very capable and has the potential of achieving high grades in his sciences. He is quick to learn and understands scientific concepts very well. He has also demonstrated his ability to answer exam paper questions in which he scored a high mark. A consistent student. I wish you the very best!
From Shamim
Sumayya is a lovely and friendly tutor. She goes above and beyond for my daughter to the point science is her favourite subject now! She explains really well and gives visual demonstrations to make her understand science better. I really recommend her to everyone.
Hi Shamim. Thank you for your kind feedback! Its great to know that your daughter is enjoying Science and its become her favourite subject! She had made a lot of progress so far and is continuously developing scientific skill. Her knowledge has increased. She has began to think like a scientist too!
From Zara
Sumaya is such a hardworking person. each time I had a lesson with her, she worked at least several hours before the lesson and she made me lots of sources to review. I recommend Sumayya.
Hi Zara Thank you very much for your lovely feedback! Im happy to have helped you with your studies. You're a fast learner and have lots of potential to pursue a career of your dreams in dentistry. Well done on your efforts! Best wishes
From Imtiaz
My son needed 3 A’s to get into the university of his choice, we found Sumayya on first **Web Address Removed** and she has really lifted my sons positive attitude. She firstly identified the areas where he needed help and has been thorough with her resources to deliver the required content. Not moving forward to the next topic until grasped the concept.
Would recommend all day long.
Hi Imtiaz Thank you very much for your kind feedback! Your son has lots of potential in his A Level chemistry which was the driving force for me to discern his aptitude in the subject for him to achieve his target grade he is more than capable of and absolutely deserves. You are an intelligent student and with improved topic knowledge combined with exam questions you have got the ability to gain the A no doubt! A positive and committed student, always strives, qualities needed to do brilliantly at medical school. Stay confident. I wish you every success! Thank you
From Annmarie
Summaya has been tutoring me for a month now and has been very supportive, enthusiastic, and I have learnt so much these past few weeks. Ive recommended her to a few people I know who need that extra support. She is always happy to help and always strives for me to succeed. I am grateful and very appreciative for all the time she puts in, so thank you!
Hi Ann Thank you very much for your kind feedback! Its brilliant that you are acquiring new knowledge during tuition and that you are finding the chemistry sessions helpful. I am enjoying tutoring you and wish to see you achieve all your goals, and especially to secure a university place on the Dentistry course. Thank you so much for recommending me too! You show real commitment and a positive attitude in your endeavours. You are a dedicated, hard working student who deserves so much success! Very well done! Thank you!
From Sasha
Sumayya is a wonderful tutor. She spends time explaining things until you understand them and keeps the atmosphere very fun and engaging. Since seeing Sumayya, I’ve thoroughly understood topics that my college has left me confused with.
Hi Sasha Thanks very much for your kind feedback! Its great that you are enjoying tuition and learning too! I am also pleased that tuition is supporting your college work and improve understanding. A-Level Biology is both demanding and challenging whereby taking ownership of your learning, you will find it easier to master 'big' biological concepts, confidently. Sasha you have lots of common sense, are thoughtful and insightful and as your biological background develops, it will naturally lead to scientific thinking. As biology is an applied science, all we need to do now is help refine your knowledge, fill in minor gaps in scientific facts and principles to be ready to put theory into practice and with your common sense youre there! Don't hesitate and you will be prepared to tackle any A Level exam question to achieve that top A grade. Stay determined. Excellent progress so far!
From Shaista
I have found your teaching to be very helpful in terms of the progress Mobeen ,Mateen and hafsa are making. I am very pleased with their improved performance in school, particularly in maths. The kids have adjusted very easily to your friendly teaching approach and I am very happy that they enjoy and look forward to working on maths with you and their hard work is being reflected in their school work.
Dear Shaista Thank you very much for your kind feedback! I am genuinely pleased to know of their improvement in maths - it is very rewarding. Since maths can be a dry subject for most students, It was essential that i turned it into a fun and interesting environment for them to advance their knowledge and understanding. This, I observed, was motivating them and it made an impact on their learning ability and problem solve. The students are evolving into skillful, able young people. More importantly, I am happy to know that taking tuition is transforming their school work. I strive to continue to work with Mobeen, Mateen, Hafsa and Saffa to help them reach their potential and achieve results. Excellent work students!
From Asif
Parent review
Sumayya has been teaching my 10 year old daughter for a few months now. She seems to have a genuine interest in helping her improve her maths and is willing to try different techniques to help her understand. She is also flexible with her time and willing to engage with the school teacher. I can see my daughters confidence improving in the subject. Overall I would highly recommend this pleasant and hardworking tutor.
Pupils review

Sumayya is professional tutor and my daughter is very happy and enjoying tution.She is gaining confidence. Will definitely recommend.
Dear Imtiaz
Thank you very much for this kind feedback! Rida is a very able, bright tutee. She always participates fully in sessions showing determination to succeed. She also enjoys learning. A diligent tutee with a lot of potential. Very well done!
From Rumaanah
This tutor rang me at such an unsuitable time of 6am arranging the tuition time. The following day she rang me telling me she would not be able to tuition me due to guests arriving at her house which was understandable. However, she rang me after that with a 'flu' and told me that due to this 'flu' she would not be able to tuition me for a few weeks/ months whilst she recovers! And this was all after I informed her that I have an extremely important exam coming up. Thankfully I have found another tutor that doesn't seem to take a few months to recover from 'flus'.
I am sorry about the confusion and stress caused by me. My health is poor at the moment which is why temporarily I am unable to tutor. Once again my sincere apologies.
From Lawrence
I'm sorry to say our first appointment with the above tutor was a disaster, although this was our first fixed appointment it was the second appointment as the first one Sumayya cancelled due to ill health (that was Sat 7th Nov) it was very clear when we met today she didn't look in good health and she did try to fulfil our appointment, but halfway in she complain she could not continue because she felt ill, because of this unfortunate situation and my son is desperate to find an adequate tutor still can you please transfer our booking with you to someone else who is listed with first tutor, I await your feedback to our dilemma and please let me know how we are to proceed thank you.
I will wait in anticipation for your kind response.
Very best rgds Mr J Crisp
I am very sorry.
From Tracey
Sumayya is a really pleasant and competent tutor. Sumayya tutored my daughter in Biology and did an excellent job. THANK YOU
Dear Tracey thank you very much for your kind feedback! Amber should revise with exam questions on her own from which she should see improvements to understand her abilities and gain confidence. She is a very capable student - well done!
From Amanda
Dear Amanda i am very sorry for the low feedback for not being able to help you. However since you came to me on the condition that I wouldn't charge you the fee should I not be able to help please accept my apologies. I wish you the very best in your studies.
From Rizwana
Sumayya has helped me son prepare for his GCSE Chemistry exam and we are very happy with her work. We are looking forward to seeing Sumayya next year with help for Biology and Physics.
Hi Rizwana thank you for your feedback! For a year 10 student I am extremely impressed with Jamaals knowledge of Gcse Chemistry knowledge. His understanding is A* standard that he thoroughly deserves. All I did was guide with exam questions which he has demonstrated is more than capable of independently. Very well done!
From Jennifer
Very nice and friendly tutor, extremely knowledgeable and passionate about biology and biochemistry related topics. Regrettably could not provide me with the help I needed for my University level chemistry course which I specified I needed help with but otherwise very helpful with a-level resits
Hi Jennifer Thank you for your kind feedback! In terms of your calibre and ability in the short time I knew you, your understanding of Science in particular difficult university material comes across exceptional. Minor improvements together with curiosity for the subject and knowledge you have got what it takes to achieve a brilliant degree!
From Julie
My daughter has been receiving tuition for a few weeks and finds Sumayya funny and very passionate about Biology. It seems that each lesson is planned and prepared by Sumayya beforehand and she ensures that each topic is fully understood before moving on. I would recommend Sumayya to others, she is a lovely lady who encourages and inspires confidence in my daughter at every lesson.
Hi Julie thank you very much for your kind feedback! A bright and intelligent student. Georgina has eagerly shown in tuition that she is able to tackle exam questions with very good reasoning, applying skilful knowledge of key scientific principles to produce high quality, well explained answers. Georgina came to me with an impressive understanding of important A Level biology concepts. With a bit of guidance and advice, I hope she is beginning to feel confident in her ability of achieving a Grade A in exams that she thoroughly deserves!
From Munir
My son was struggling in Science (Year 8) so I decided to get tuition from Sumayya and my son has improved in Science dramatically withing couple of months.
Been told by son she is very bubbly personality and positive attitude.
Very helpful
Thanks Sumayya
Dear Munir
Thank you for your kind feedback! Junaid is intelligent and has demonstrated a very good level of understanding of Science for his age. If his self-motivation and interest in the subject continues on throughout the years, I am confident of his abilities to achieve A grades in GCSEs. Well done Junaid!
From Wasim
Sumayya has helped me achieve my grade required for uni, from a grade D in biology to one mark away from an A is just unbelievable. I feel more confident with the knowledge and understanding I have of this subject. I would definitely recommend her as a tutor. Thank you very much Sumayya.
Thank you very much for your kind feedback! Very well done on your A-level grade - I am delighted for you! All I did was guide you in the right direction but you learned, absorbed the science and have now demonstrated scientific knowledge to highest of standards. You have tremendous potential, intelligent and hope you continue on this success throughout university and future career!
From Humaira
Excellent tutor with an encouraging attitude towards learning. Her techniques stand out, Sumayya is funny and very addresses well to any questions or doubts in learning, she goes through learning processes and has a variety of ways in which she teaches. She's great!!
Dear Humaira, thank you very much for this kind feedback! I am happy to see you learning to think of Science as more than just facts, but is a subject that equally requires imagination and is enjoyable! Really well done with your progress.
From Ghadi
Sumayya is a professional tutor with comprehensive knowledge and experience. She helped me mostly in biology and chemistry through my second year at university. I would say she is type of person who makes difficult topics easy to understand. Thank you sumayya for your help
Honestly I extremely recommended her
Thank you very much indeed. I am humbled to read this fantastic feedback! I sincerely hope my advise and guidance has made a difference to your studies. All my best wishes, thank you.
From Ebba
I've found these tutoring sessions extremely helpful and firmly believe they have allowed me to understand the content more thoroughly as well as highlighted areas in which I need to improve. I am very grateful for the genuine support provided which has encouraged me to stay motivated and led to me making improvements already! Thank you!
Very kind feedback, thank you. I am pleased to learn that you are noticing a sound improvement in your understanding of the subject - well done! As a naturally creative student you are beginning to realise how this innate quality will drive your academic abilities and strength enabling your confidence to grow! Keep believing in yourself.
From Sahdia
Summayya is a very good tutor, she teaches you properly an explains the work thoroughly ans makes sure you understand it. She has a really kind approach an is very friendly. Overall she is a fantastic tutor and is a great help :)
Thank you very much for this great feedback! I will continue to guide you to pull your a-level biology grade to an A|B, your real potential that you have absolutely demonstrated in tuition!
From Khadija
I felt I required the support of this tutor for an adult numeracy test, which was a component of my teacher training course. She initially appeared to be confident, friendly and enthusiastic. However, during my third session she told me that I was "just not mathy" and that I would not pass the test within three months. This seriously knocked my confidence and left me feeling deflated, despite the fact that I was studying a Masters level course. It also demonstrated a lack of patience. I had given her a list of the topics that would be tested and the practice materials I had been instructed to use. However, she had tried to cover areas in the sessions which were not on the test at all. It became apparent to me after my third and final session that this was to lengthen the time during which I would be reliant on her support. I am pleased to say that I passed the test at my first attempt, after just a month of revision on my own, and am now a qualified teacher. I am glad that I was able to learn first hand the negative effects that a lack of patience can have on a learner's confidence, and will be mindful of this in my future career.
An unfair and disappointing comment. This mature student came to me in March this year for tuition in QTS numeracy (not Masters Level) leading to a primary school teaching qualification. After 2 or 3 weeks of tuition i was quite shocked as to the level of improvement i observed in the student with an extremely poor understanding of basic numeracy equivalent to Key Stage 1-2 in Maths, despite copious repetition. I tried my level best to develop her basic maths and sympathised with her worries of the prospects of passing. With respect to passing her test, i could not offer unrealistic hope or guarantees and i very specifically told the student that 'we will see how it goes'. I was not there to pass judgment. Eventually after the third or fourth week i decided that since we were still working on basic fractions etc until now and the student was not making any difference to herself, i suggested she take a bit of time off tuition and try and review these topics by practising homework tasks i set her. I made the effort and was committed to the students goal, however despite my persistence the student simply remained unfocused or over- complicated simple ideology. As far as tutoring topics were concerned, the student fully approved these without issues. For numeracy, mathematical problem solving skills stem from first principles and the fact that the student had very little appreciation of these posed difficulties. In the end i made the student aware of my concerns pertaining to her subject deficiencies and also expressed that i did not wish to continue charging her for going over the same topic that commenced in session 1. Finally i was completely patient with the students ability and the student was conscious of it. I could not be more encouraging or patient. Nonetheless i am happy the student has now passed and wish her every success.
From Karen
Sumayya is a first class tutor. She is both kind and considerate, and knows how to treat young people who have little confidence in their academic abilities. Thank you so much for your time and patience with my daughter - she is finally beginning to believe in herself!
Hi Karen
Thank you very much for the lovely feedback! Bethany is a polite, one of the most conscientious, highly attentive students i have tutored, past and present. She is always well-focussed bringing optimum concentration levels to sessions therefore enabling her to grasp brand new information rapidly. She is intelligent and her eagerness to learn Maths because she has a natural intrinsic interest in the subject has made it easier for me help develop Bethany's confidence. Excellent student. Very well done to mum Karen too!
Sumayya
From Balawal
Sumaya only tutored me for a few weeks but was an excellent tutor and helped me understand my subject. I had to leave as i found someone closer to home.
Thank you very much for the kind feedback!
From Abdul
(As Biology) Sumayya is an excellent tutor, I was able to bring my grade up from a D to an A in just 3 sessions and I now I have full confidence going into the January exam. Thanks !
Hi Abdul, Thank you very much for your very generous feedback, i hope i have been able to help you acheive some of your goals. You are a naturally intelligent student with a great future ahead of you! All my best wishes for the future!
From Shahanara
Sumayya is excellent, my daughter really enjoys her sessions and feels she is learning a lot, I feel i have been very lucky to have found Summaya. I would definately recommend her.
Thank you very much for this kind feedback! I am pleased to hear the sessions are helpful to your daughter and even more pleased that she is enjoying maths! Your daughter is intelligent, conscientious and a pleasure to teach who is consistently improving her learning. Well done!
From Irina
Sumayya is a first class tutor, and manages to make each lesson engaging with her relentless enthusiasm and mountainous knowledge of her subjects. Cannot be more highly recommended.
Thank you very much for your kind feedback. I really appreciate it!
From Nasrullah
Very disappointed with her. She agreed to teach my son and the daughter of my friend at Bolton. But after 1st week, she missed the next week due to some family problems. Then the following week after teaching my son, she informed us that she could no longer come and teach at Bolton as it is not feasible for her.
She should not have accepted to teach my son and my friend's daughter as we were counting upon her to prepare our children for their GCSE exams.
Apologies to the family however the family accepted myself as a tutor when i clearly arranged with them that the tuition will be taking place at my address. I had no idea that it would be at their addresses. Out of sympathy and begging parents i took on the students despite genuine real inconvenience this caused myself. I was constantly being lied to and teaching in inhospitable conditions and stressed out by the family, which is why i could not continue.
From Marium
She is a great tutuor her teaching wise is quite good to understand and makes learning things in a better and easy way. I would recommend people to get tutuored by her.
Thank you very much for your kind feedback!
From Yousif
she is 100 excellent … nice… well good… manerd…
