Very Good Biology Tutor

Nirmala's teacher taught my son for 1 year Y2020_2021 (GCSE Edexcel Curriculum). What I like about her teaching approach is she is very sincere, prompt, and takes a very much active interest in the topics and in the student. I noticed she also make the student feel easy by having a snappy chit-chat and straight into the topic, no one-size-fit approach. She has broad knowledge and prepares for the topic in advance before delivery. Highly recommended and glad my son was in her safe hand for 1 year.

Simply awesome!

Have an interest for biology? Nirmala ma'am increases the interest for the subject by a factor of 10 times! Ma'am has given everything required to prepare for NEET and CBSE Boards. She provides everything from chapter based tests to interactive sessions with a few jokes to cheer us up! All her classes and tests are enough to prepare you for your board exams and NEET. She teaches content based on the NCERT textbook and little more extra facts that would be required for getting a good score in NEET, based on questions that have appeared in previous years. Ma'am covers questions based on all aspects of ways questions would be formed and gives clear steps as to how to go about understanding and thinking about those concepts to score more! There couldn't be anything more that you would have as a requirement as she satisfies and fulfils all needs of the student. Always a loving teacher and its a simply a treat to learn biology from Nirmala ma'am. Love you loads Ma'am!

Masterclass for NEET-UG and CBSE 12th Grade Biology

Ms. Nirmala is more than adequate to help NEET-UG aspirants pass the exam with flying colors. Ms. Nirmala offers individual attention to every pupil and doesn't stop until the pupil is good at at the subject. She was able to understand my way of thinking and catered to my needs which enabled me to do well in Biology. Under her guidance, I was able to assess my mistakes, curb them right away, top my boards and do well in NEET. I highly recommend Ms. Nirmala for NEET-UG aspirants who are willing to ace it. It goes without saying that you'll receive the best coaching experience ever.
