Alina tutored my son for his common entrance exams. She came round 3 times a week, once for maths, and twice for science. She also ran crash course sessions when the exams were getting closer. My son got into his first choice schools so I recommend Alina for Common Entrance prep. I will continue to use her for his GCSE exams.

Alina helped me with AS maths. She explained everything in a different way to the teachers so it was easier for me to understand. Thanks to her, I am now studying engineering at Uni.

I studied with Alina at school. During the summer exams she studied with me for 2 hours prior to the Human geography exam. She fed me so much knowledge and helped me order my thoughts. Without her I don't know if I would have achieved the grade I achieved.

Details

My standard rate starts from £60 per hour for online lessons. Rates may vary depending on the subject, level of difficulty, and scheduling requirements. I offer discounts for lessons booked in pairs or in blocks, as well as referral-based discounts for families who recommend me to others.

I am happy to mark homework or practice papers outside of lesson time, but please note that this is charged separately. The marking fee ranges from £1 to £5 depending on the length and complexity of the work. This allows me to provide detailed, constructive feedback while keeping lessons focused and efficient.

While I can occasionally travel to students' homes in the London area (particularly Kensington, Chelsea, and Fulham), I strongly prefer online tutoring due to the flexibility it offers — especially for international students and those with busy schedules.
