Additionally, Ms. Zainab’s has a talent for making the class fun and interesting. She brings chemistry to life with interactive demonstrations and practical experiments. I am sincerely grateful for Ms. Zainab’s efforts in making chemistry accessible and exciting. Thanks to her guidance, I have not only improved my understanding of the subject but also developed a genuine interest in it. I highly recommend Ms. Zainab’s to anyone looking for an exceptional chemistry teacher who makes learning enjoyable.”
Josef – GCE N level – 2023
“The past tuition sessions we had really helped me a lot to improve my understanding of Chemistry. Before we had these sessions, I really didn’t understand anything related to Chemistry. Despite having a rocky start, I progressively started to gain a general understanding of Chemistry. She also taught me certain tips and tricks to answer difficult questions and I have learnt to apply them. Although I may not be as good as other students, but for myself I think that I saw improvements in my work after the sessions.”
Sandil Kodikara – Pearson Edexcel International GCSE & IAL – 2020
“One of the best teachers I’ve had. Her teaching made chemistry easy to understand and her delivery of the concepts were clear and precise. Miss Zainab’s classes are always entertaining as she is very engaged with all her students. Her enthusiasm for teaching is very prominent through her lessons. She pays equal attention to all her students and wants to ensure that all her students succeed. Chemistry was never my favourite subject however her classes were and I wouldn’t have done well if it wasn’t for her.”
Sakina – GCE A level (H2) – 2016
“Ms. Zainab is very meticulous with the notes she gives. She has a strong passion for the subject and explains the logic behind many theories, which makes it easier to understand. Learning from her helped me improve my a few grades as I felt I could understand the subject matter more deeply.”

“Zainab is a very dedicated and wonderful teacher. Her teaching methods are easy to grasp and understand. My son scored A1 for his O levels and the credit goes to Zainab for putting in the effort to help my son out. She is a gem!”
Mrs McAllister – Parent of Jackson (Student of Pearson Edexcel IAL) – 2018
“Ms. Zainab taught our son A-level Chemistry. He wasn’t initially excited about the subject, especially as he is dyslexic, and we weren’t expecting him to do extremely well in the exams. Ms. Zainab is not only a master teacher, but she authentically connects, encourages, and even inspires her students. Our son’s A-level results were excellent – and even better, he enjoyed the two-year Chemistry course with Ms. Zainab. He still keeps in touch with her, and she still inspires him from afar.” “There are many excellent teachers/tutors, but Ms. Zainab is one of the very few who are truly outstanding—a master teacher and an amazing ability to connect and inspire. Thank you Ms. Zainab!”
