Exceptional Tutor.

Shriya has been the French IGCSE tutor for both my daughters. She is fully invested in the student and is an expert in the subject. My elder daughter started with her very late. She was graded as A * in her final board exam. Shriya takes a personal interest and ensures she will take a disciplined and meticulous approach to help improve the grade. My younger daughter will have boards this year. Highly recommend.

The ULTIMATE teacher for IGCSE and A Level English and French

Review after A level exams 2022:
Ms. Shriya has been teaching our son since his IGCSE years and has continued until the end of his A level exams. I can proudly say that my son has scored 93 percentage in English, making him score the highest marks in his school, although Cambridge English is extremely difficult. He also scored 96 in French. We are beyond thankful for all her efforts. Blessed to have our son tutored by her.
Your search for the best IGCSE and A level Teacher ends here.

Review after IGCSE October-November Series 2020:
Consider yourself lucky if you've come across Ms. Shriya. Hamza has scored A* ( A stars) in both, IGCSE English and French. Special appreciation to her extremely student friendly approached and customised teaching. Ms. Shriya's intense and rigorous training with constant monthly updates to parent's about the child's performance is very impressive.

Initial review based on teaching in 2019:
We have engaged Ms. Shriya for our son, Hamza. Hamza has drastically improved in both, English and French. His confidence has boosted in leaps and bounds. Ms. Shriya's teaching style is very student friendly along with the extremely helpful resources that she shares. Her organised approach with board standard correction makes the child perfectly ready for the board exams. My son has greatly improved in the last 6 months and really likes Ms. Shriya's classes.
Consider yourself lucky if you've found her, she's a blessing. She is a teacher who'll always help you throughout your journey.

Excellent IGCSE and AS level teacher for English

In Grade IX my son was really struggling in English and was not getting more than a D score. After Shriya started teaching him English, his scores started improving and got an A in the board exam.
She is still teaching my son english in A and AS level.
My son is really fortunate to get a teacher like Shriya.

Excellent IGCSE tutor

Shriya Ma'am tutors my son in IGCSE English. She is extremely hands on and has adapted herself to my son's learning level. Her focus is on practice which I think makes learning better. Always open to feedback and engaged. Thank you.

An update on Ranvir - he scored A in IGCSE, up from 58% in internal tests before Shriya Ma'am took him on. Her diligence and understanding where to work with him has done wonders for him. Thank you Ma'am!

Excellent

Shriya is a wonderful teacher with a vibrant mindset and expertise on the subject and IGCSE curriculum. We have engaged her for English and French. She has a balanced approach to teaching. She has great clarity of teaching and keeps the teaching process transparent by regularly staying in touch with us. As parents, we are very satisfied. Both, my son and daughter look forward to her classes. She gives a lot of practice material and she is very punctual. My children love attending her classes and treat her as a friend more than a mentor. My daughter scored A stars in both English and French in the board exam. Thanks for making my children fall in love with learning and for the immense support you've given, shriya. I am very happy.

Best IGCSE English and Economics teacher since 2 years.

Her teaching style is amazing and updated. She understands the student's requirements and needs very well. She taught IGCSE English and Economics to my daughter. She uses technology wisely to help the child understand better. It is very difficult to find good IGCSE English teachers with great knowledge. I will surely recommend her to everybody. I am very lucky to find an amazing teacher like her. Thank you for the help and support for my daughter. This is a review written after spending 2 years with shriya.
