My daughter passed the 11+, but once she started Year 7 at our local grammar school, she began to struggle significantly with Maths and her confidence dropped. We were fortunate to find Shivali, who has been an exceptional tutor.
Shivali has a wonderful ability to explain mathematical concepts clearly and patiently, breaking down difficult topics into manageable steps that my daughter could easily understand. Her teaching style helped rebuild my daughter's confidence and develop a much stronger understanding of the subject.
Thanks to her support, hard work, and encouragement, my daughter has made remarkable progress and has now moved into the top Maths set. We are absolutely delighted with her progress.
I would highly recommend Shivali to any parent looking for a supportive Maths tutor. She has made a real difference to my daughter's academic success and confidence.

Hear from parent and students
Shivali, thank you for improving my Maths grade since day 1. You have undoubtedly fuelled my Maths knowledge with formula sheets, jokes, exclusive past papers and above all-a dedication to carefully explaining your passion of maths to others. Week by week, you have continually inspired me with your innate devotion to maths, and that is something I wish to carry with me throughout my whole life. Whilst you are not my only Maths tutor, you are by far my favourite. I feel honoured to be taught by you.
To my lifesaver, Shivali, As the GCSE season finally came to an end, I had been thinking about the people who got me to the finish line, now here I am wanting to give you a massive thank you for being such a huge part of my journey. There are teachers who show you the answers and then there are those who truly show you what you are capable of, thank you for being the second. For each maths exam I took, Ithought of how much work and effort you put in for me, creating lessons for every Tuesday until it was all over. When we first started your lessons, maths felt impossible, I had loved being the top of my class from yr 3 until yr 6 but I felt like maths had slipped away from me, and that's when you came in, you sat with me, taught and showed me the joy of maths - you taught me the tips and tricks of maths and helped me find a passion. So, Shivali, thank you for all that you did for me since Yr 9, I will continue to stay in touch because I'll be needing you for the rest of my journey. Thank you for all your support, from your favourite tutee!

The small group format is perfect. My son is matched with students at the same level and the progress has been remarkable.
The masterclass was brilliant, value for money, intensive, focused, and exactly what my son needed before his mocks. Highly recommend.
A Level maths finally makes sense. Shivali explains concepts from first principles and the exam technique tips are invaluable.
Thank you so much for supporting me with my GCSE maths! When I started at the end of year 10, I hadn't had a lot of confidence in maths and I thought that I just "wasn't good at it". However, after doing tutoring throughout year 11, my grade improved significantly and I have decided to carry on studying maths in A-level. I really enjoyed tutoring and I found it very helpful and I really appreciate the effort that you have made to teach us.
Shivali has been a great maths tutor for years now helping me and my other brothers out too! She's always willing to listen to what topics we recommend and always looked for what's best for us. She knows which topics are meant for which year and what type of calculator is suitable for a test. I'm very grateful for having her and I wish her the best in the future!
Extremely good at gathering revision resources and has good recommendations on how to study. Good at explaining more complex concepts. Good understanding of the GCSE course and certain exam techniques that can help gain more marks and save time within the examination.
You have helped me develop a better understanding for maths and achieve the test scores in my end of years and BDAs top and feel more confident and ready for year 10. Helps me with topics I struggle with and pushes me on harder questions. Always listens to topic requests and helps with tests.
