Good but time zone mismatch and tailored to exam focused syllabus.

Tutor response

Positive feedback is always welcome; unsure why 60 min time difference is an impediment. Best wishes for the future.

My daughter is enjoying History tutoring with her, though it’s about a month only.

Catherine has been a great tutor for my son and he truly looks forwards to her lessons three times every week. She fires his imagination and interest and has a wealth of resources. Thank you, Catherine. Great work!

Catherine is a really wonderful tutor. She is calm, organised and extremely knowledgeable. In a very short period she has significantly helped my daughter with her revision and most importantly with her self confidence.

Mariann AFirst Tutors

Catherine is a very helpful and insightful History tutor who helped elevate my historical knowledge to a sufficient degree for my IGCSE CIE History exam, Option B, First World War depth study. She is extremely punctual, personal, approachable, and accessible, with her lessons being both informative and entertaining with a plethora of well-crafted resources. Highly recommend, Mrs Lau and Angelika

Tutor response

Thank you so much for the feedback. Best wishes for success this summer and in the future.

NicolaFirst Tutors

Lessons started well with Catherine. She created several tailor-made resources for my son. However, after a few lessons, she said she needed some medical treatment and was postponing the remainder of the classes that we had paid for; we were not offered a refund. Catherine said she would create resources, but the date for the recommencement of classes was pushed back twice, and none of the work my son submitted was marked. We engaged a tutor to accelerate my son's progress in history, so I decided to cut my losses and find another tutor.

Tutor response

Based on our ongoing discussions, I was committed to tutoring Nicola's son upon return from hospital. I find it peculiar, therefore, that Nicola expected me to "offer" a refund. It is also astounding that this derogatory comment was posted a few days before tuition was about to recommence. It signifies a breach of trust. Resources were created for Nicola's son without cost to herself, and further free resources were offered during the period in question. As for "needing some medical treatment" it is not appropriate to discuss with tutees serious medical surgery, or for Nicola to refer to it, and in such a contentious manner, here on First Tutors. Fortunately, other parents have been much more understanding !

My daughter had only the introductory session and she is very pleased and looking forward to learning more. It’s too early to make any comment or give feedback, however, Catherine response promptly to all messages and was flexible in readjusting the time. She started with addressing the objectives, process, and outcomes of these sessions. The first lesson was free as mentioned on the website.

My son has just started tutoring with Catherine. He feels she explains the subject well (A Level Politics) and is benefitting from the sessions. She was accommodating with the days we were available for sessions.
