Sobia is every parent's dream of what a tutor should be. Rest assured, your ward is in good hands. Parent of 16 Plus student (Marlborough and Charterhouse) Tuesday, 9th April 2024)

I wanted to thank Sobia for her excellent tutoring; my son got admission into his desired A level school. We are new to the UK and she patiently helped my son understand how the interview system works. She provided tailor support to suit my son's needs and guided him through general interviews and subject interviews. She was very accommodative and adjusted the class whenever needed. We are very grateful to Sobia for helping my son achieve admissions in his dream school. Parent of 16 Plus student (Haberdashers' Aske's Boys School) Friday, 16th February 2024

Sobia is well organised, personable and inspires confidence (and justifiably so). We engaged Sobia to provide orientation on 16+ entrance exams to our daughter who is bright and confident academically but hadn't sat for either 11+ or 13+ entrance exams so didn't know what to expect. Sobia was always well prepared, engaging and positive - our daughter really enjoyed the sessions with her and was offered a sixth form place with an academic scholarship at Brighton College. Highly recommended. Parent of 16 Plus student to Brighton College Thursday, 8th February 2024

Sobia was very helpful in bringing my son to speed in a very limited time for his A level entrance test. She clearly has a good understanding of what the tests cover and accordingly planned the lessons. Parent of a 16 plus applicant, Friday, 17th February 2023

We have enjoyed working with Sobia preparing for 16+ entrance examinations. Sobia was always prompt to lessons and flexible should there be a need to move or cancel a session for any reason. Sobia always replied to our emails in a timely manner and the lesson feedback was useful. Sobia also adapted her lessons based on my daughter's desire to focus on specific areas such as interview skills. We would highly recommend Sobia based on our experience to date. Parent of 16 Plus student, Monday, 8th August 2022

I am very happy with the progress that my daughter is making under the guidance of Sobia. She has focussed on areas of development and regular paper practise to help prepare her for the sixth form entrance exams which she faces later this year. Sobia always responds to my emails, is punctual and flexible in her approach which makes working with Sobia extremely easy. From my experience so far, I would be happy to recommend Sobia as a tutor. Parent of online 16 Plus student, Friday, 10th June 2022

Sobia came to help our son with his 13+ assessments just after the summer. She was able to make what turned out to be a very accurate assessment of our son's calibre and pinpointed specifics on those bits that needed to be developed. Sobia understands the child's personality and works with him to get the best out of him. She is calm, has a mildly cajoling manner and yet can be very subtly firm when it demands (which was needed for our son can get distracted very easily)!

He passed his ISEB, was called for interview to all of them and we then engaged her for a handful of sessions on creative writing and interview techniques. For a child who wasn't keen on essays, the very clear yet few tactics on obvious areas to improve on helped tremendously to enable our son to clear Eton! We cant thank her enough and will happily recommend to whoever it is needed. Parent of online student winning place at Eton, Tuesday, 22nd December 2020

Sobia has been amazing and provided a friendly and constructive approach to my daughter's tutoring. With her help and advice, my daughter was able to get accepted into her school of choice. We worked mostly on Biology and Chemistry, working on how to answer entrance exam style questions and how to not miss out on key marks. Sobia helped my daughter work through practice papers and she found the lessons enjoyable and useful. Sobia also provided tips for English questions and resources to use. She has been very professional and a pleasure to work with, we are very happy. No doubt in recommending her. Mother of online 16 Plus student, Monday, 7th December 2020

Please could you let Sobia know that our daughter has been offered a place! Please pass on our thanks to Sobia; we are so grateful for your help at the last minute! Mother of 16 plus Alleyn's candidate, Friday, 4th December 2020

Sobia was great to deal with from a parent point of view. More importantly, my son admitted that his lesson with Sobia was helpful preparation for his exam and enjoyable! Father of 16 plus student, Tuesday, 1st December 2020

Sobia is a wonderful teacher to have! She helps my son with English, Biology, Critical Thinking and General Paper, etc. for his 16+ exam to top UK boarding schools. She has very broad knowledge and could do many subjects. I am usually skeptical about tutoring, but Sobia changed it! She always goes the extra mile to help, which is really helpful and takes lots of pressure off me! My son really enjoys the online class and is confident about exams. We are so lucky to have Sobia! Mother of 16 plus student, Wednesday, 13th November 2019

Sobia was a great IB English tutor. During the few months of tuition, we focus a lot on discussion and my ability to make and prove points. Her ability of listening and being able to understand my point of view is amazing. I had a really great time with her and hope every one can enjoy English as much as I did with her.

Excellent focused sessions which allowed William to reach his goal for IB. Thank you. Mother of IB student, Switzerland, Wednesday, 2nd May 2018

Sobia was absolutely fantastic. My daughter couldn't have been better prepared for her IB English, Biology and Psychology exams, thanks to Sobia. I would highly recommend her and can't praise her enough. Mother of IB student, London, Wednesday, 3rd August 2016

I saw Sobia for four sessions in preparation for my QTS Maths test, having recently failed the test. During the sessions we worked through the questions I had struggled with in my revision, and Sobia explained the solutions to me in ways that I could more easily understand. She also showed me some very useful shortcuts in method for the timed mental arithmetic, which meant that I was able to answer the questions in the given time. Over our sessions I grew in confidence, and Sobia was very supportive in honing my exam technique so that I wouldn't panic when faced with difficult questions in the timed section. I passed the test after my four sessions with Sobia, and I couldn't recommend her enough! QTS Maths student, London, Monday, 1st August 2016

She was very helpful and I appreciated that she took notes prior to our sessions so that the sessions ran smoothly! Online IB Psychology student in Indonesia, Monday, 15th February 2012
