Testimonials

“Our lessons were extremely helpful as I was able to consolidate my knowledge, and taught me crucial exam skills. Our lessons helped me develop a passion for science as she explained complex scientific concepts in a simple yet interesting way, and I was even encouraged to further explore the topics. I achieved 9s (A*) for biology, chemistry and physics.”

“I was tutored by Serena (of Stoic Students) for about a year and a half during my IGCSEs, and her guidance helped me more than I could have ever imagined. I went from getting grades between 2 and 5 (E to C grades) in not only the sciences but all of my subjects, to achieving straight A*s in my final results. I couldn’t of thanked Serena enough.”

— Zoya, Former IGCSE Student

“I would like to say thank you for helping me through my science journey, always making lessons fun and exciting, and always going the extra mile by sending me questions/help even outside our lesson times to keep me on my toes. Thank you for making YouTube videos, of which I found very helpful.”

— Josh, Former IGCSE Student

‘‘I am thrilled to share my heartfelt appreciation for Teacher Serena. Her dedication and passion for teaching truly made a significant difference in my daughter’s academic journey. With Serena’s guidance and support, my daughter achieved a remarkable score of 9 in her IGCSE double science exams.

Serena’s approach to teaching is both engaging and effective. She has an incredible ability to explain complex concepts in a way that is accessible and relatable. Her patience and encouragement fostered a positive learning environment, allowing my daughter to build confidence and a genuine interest in science.

I cannot thank Serena enough for her unwavering commitment to her students' success. She has not only equipped my daughter with the knowledge she needed but has also inspired her to pursue her passion for science further. I wholeheartedly recommend Teacher Serena to any student looking to excel.’’

‘‘Serena is one of the best tutors I’ve known, she helped me a lot during my IGCSE and IB. Her class was always really fun and seeing how hardworking she is motivated me a lot. I hope she can motivate other students to love and excel in science too!’’

‘‘I think Serena taught me really well. I really enjoyed the lessons because she made concepts easy for me to understand. I also really liked that we got to choose an area that we wanted to work on, so that I could improve on the topic.’’

— Michelle, Former Student

‘‘Serena started teaching [my son] in year 9 every week, except summer holidays, until his GCSE exam in year 11. She taught [my son] in all 3 subjects, Biology, Chemistry and Physics, 30 mins each time.

His final grades was grade 8 (A*) in all 3 subjects. He was very happy with the results.

During these years, his interest for science grew a lot. That was also because Serena’s interest and passion for science is very strong. She is very committed to being a tutor in a very positive way.

Serena is a kind and very happy spirit, and down to earth.

[My son] decided after his GCSE exams to continue with A-Levels Biology and Chemistry. He still has Serena as a tutor.

We highly recommend Serena as a tutor.’’

‘‘Serena was my tutor from Y9-Y11, teaching me the foundations of science then assisting me in my IGCSE journey. Serena is an extremely sincere, encouraging and compassionate tutor, and I truly looked forward to every lesson! We spent our classes consolidating and learning scientific knowledge whilst honing my exam technique, allowing me to confidently complete the biology, chemistry and physics exams, scoring high 9s in all. During our lessons, Serena also provided me with valuable resources, such as notes personalised for my understanding, which I constantly referred to during my final revision. 

Serena’s experience is clearly reflected during our tutoring lessons, as her explanations made it so much easier for me to grapple complex topics, and helped me to easily recall the knowledge I needed to answer each tricky exam question with confidence. 

Reflecting as a Year 13 student completing the second year of IB, the exam skills and foundational knowledge of science that Serena taught me in our lessons has carried over to help me excel in my IB journey!’’
