I have had Usman as a teacher for just over a year. I was previously predicted Grade 3s by my teachers. Usman has changed that to 8s. He has affected my education in such a positive way I can’t thank him enough.

Usman is an excellent tutor. He supported my older daughter from year 5 all the way through to the completion of her GCSEs. When we started with Usman, SUsie was just a little low on confidence and so we just wanted to give her a little boost. To think that in the end Usma has been tutoring Susie for around 8 years and she managed to achieve a very respectable 7 in her GCSEs. Usman deserves great credit for his support, commitment and patience. Thank you Usmman.
