Irina's Feedback

From pankhuri

I was preparing for RANRA test and contacted Irina 2 months in advance. She provided excellent guidance and teaching and managed to make virtual teaching clear and effective. She also had experience with having taught RANRA which was useful for exam tips. Would highly recommend.

From Shona

Irina helped me revise for the RANRA test which I took recently. She was encouraging, patient and flexible - especially with my occasionally disruptive working from home schedule! Irina helped me to understand complex mathematical questions and gave me useful tips on how to approach a question and frame it in a different way whilst giving me more confidence in my own abilities. Irina's passion for mathematics shone through and I particularly appreciated how she was able to explain things in just enough detail not to overwhelm but enough to help me to recognise different questions formats and their corresponding solutions. Thank you Irina!

Thank you, Shona! I respect your drive to better yourself and do best in your career despite the pressure working in a stressful environment in times of the pandemic. Your independent work and weekly preparations for the sessions with me were top of what any tutor can wish for. I sincerely wish that your efforts and achievements will be appreciated in RANRA, soon, and more to come. Please keep me updated.

From Laura

Due to health reasons I only had one session with Irina. In that session she was professional and practical giving me helpful guidance on strategies, appropriate practise test websites and studying tips in order to use my time effectively to prepare for my RANRA (Rust Advanced Numerical Reasoning Appraisal) examination. Thank you Irina.

From Hannah

Very professional and competent. Really has improved my maths to a standard which I certainly would not have been able to achieve on my own. Thank you Irina.

Thank you, Hannah!
I like your calm, confident manner, and the way you plan and follow the plan of self study in addition to the lessons. Keep going! x lrina.

Irina was very pleasant from the start. We arranged a meeting at her house so we could go over our expectations and she met our daughter. She was very cordial and forthright. Our daughter enjoyed her time with Irina and learnt a lot, Irina gave her homework and feedback on her progress. If there were any issues Irina was quick to manage them. All in all we were happy with our arrangement.

Thank you for your feedback! It was pleasure to tutor your daughter for over a year! She made really good progress which was marked in mocks and other tests. I would particularly note that despite obvious stress your daughter demonstrated good ability to manage any issues. The final teacher's grade reflected the evidence available to school. I am very happy that allowed your daughter to go forward with her chosen subject. Well done! I wish her all the best with her future!

From Amber

RANRA, 2020.
This year the test went better than last two years I believe. I hope it was just us 4 of your students who found it easier and was more your guidance than the test itself.
Grateful that you made time for me during your holidays as you didn't have to. I left it to the last moment and was abit panicked. So you grounded my nerves abit :)
I just didn't think I needed a maths tutor as I was 80th percentile for ranra last year. But complacency got the better of me and I only started prepping ranra the day I messaged you.
Main things were that the sessions with you gave me confidence and direction - and a different angle on some items - particularly as I had left it abit late.
The direction of travel for me to attack Ranra, forced prep, and discussion of some questions was helpful. Thank you! Amber.

Dear Amber, you contacted me for RANRA when I was away hiking with a group of friends in rural Yorkshire. The connection didn't allow live online session, we used photo snaps of paper, oldfashioned emails and discussions over the phone. But it was really good fun doing maths sitting on a "freshly climbed" hill! The best of luck!

From Emma

My husband I wanted to help develop our sons confidence in maths. We used this website and after asking questions we chose Irina.
Upon our first meeting with Irina she made all three of us feel at ease, Irina spoke of he qualifications, her work and previous students, and allowed us to stay on the first lesson, giving an insight into Irina teaching.
Over the months our sons confidence had grown and he really enjoys Irina sessions. He and Irina have an excellent rapport.
Irina communicates well with myself regarding progress, topics, revision and equipment.
My husband and I would highly recommend Irina.
Thank you.

Thank you!
I appreciate your support and very happy to support the student who is pleasure to tutor.

From claire

very knowledgeable tutor, also very flexible, I was able to have 5 lessons in one week at very short notice. I needed support with a RANRA test for a job interview, following Irina's tuition I ended up finding the test much easier than I anticipated. Irina is clearly very passionate about what she does and it is obvious she wants the best for her students.

Clair was always well organised, she put excellent effort into practice between our sessions. That indeed results in good progress.
Pleasing to notice, Claire takes good care of her family and progresses her career forward in a good balance. I wish her (and her family!) all the best in the future, and would be happy to see her again if needed!

From Rachael

Irina is a polite lady, she seems to have settled in well. She has attended two sessions so far at the company site and it seems to be going extremely well. We have received great feedback from the candidates she is tutoring, and they all looked engaged in their sessions.

From Helen

Irina was quick to get in touch and gave us a very clear explanation of costs and how the sessions would run. Lessons are focussed and well structured and she uses good questioning and listening skills to check learning.

From Michael

Aidan looks forward to his time with Irina, it is friendly, pleasant and pressure free environment, from my point of view as his father l feel Aidan had improved greatly and is now holding his own at school. I would recommend Irina highly

Thank you! Aiden is a pleasure to teach. He keeps control of his learning and keeps a good plan of his review sessions. His inquisitive mind and perseverance makes sessions both fun and use. I expect that keeping it up Aiden will get a better understanding of Maths and improve his assessment results even further.

From Hannah

You were good at explaining the topics and had some useful tips and resources. I also really appreciated how promptly you responded to my request at relatively short notice- all in all you were very helpful.

I liked teaching you, because you are very efficient. You demonstrated an amazing progress since you started your course (Russian) from scratch 4 months ago. You worked very hard keeping up with the top of the country's university requirements. You use very well what you learned i combining it with newly attained knowledge and skills to progress quickly. I will be happy to help you again.

From Nathan

Irina worked with our son for a block of 8 lessons.She was efficient, well resourced and helpful, suggesting books and further resources we could buy to help him. She helped him with those areas of Maths he found tricky.

Teaching you was a pleasure, I always was made feel welcomed. I am sure that now, after securing the new level, your confidence improved, and rightly so, due to all hard work. Please continue building on the good qualities you have. And the best of luck for your exams!

From Fiona

We are very happy with the support given to our daughter. She is getting a better understanding of areas she has been struggling with.

Thank you!
This year is not an easy one for many GCSE students, with many changes in the exams. I am very happy and proud you see the progress, and I certainly do too. I am looking forward to continue after this very good start!
