Sofia Costa
Parent English and MathsInez has been absolutely wonderful with my child. She has a real talent for working with second language English learners, and has helped build not only understanding, but also confidence in communication. Her approach with maths is structured but engaging, and she takes the time to ensure concepts are fully understood rather than rushed. We’ve seen a noticeable improvement in both English and maths, and overall academic confidence. I would highly recommend her to any family looking for a supportive and effective tutor.

StudentEnglishMiss Inez is a really nice teacher. She makes the lessons fun and helps me if I don’t understand something. I also like that she asks me questions so I stay focused and don’t get distracted. I used to struggle with English, but now I can do my work better on my own.
