About Sylvia
“I help students get great GCSE Science grades" I have over a decade of UK classroom teaching and tutoring experience. My goal is simple - to help students who struggle with science develop confidence and pass their exams. I am the Lead Tutor of an online tutoring Academy where we help students jump 2-3 grades in GCSE Maths and Science. My mission goes beyond academic excellence; I help students develop the personal and interpersonal skills necessary for long-term success and fulfilment beyond the classroom. I have now helped over 500 students significantly improve in a short span, many enhancing their grades by 2-3 levels. Student Success Stories As a secondary school qualified science teacher, I have helped thousands of KS3 and GCSE Science students from years 7 to 11 improve their grades. I have worked with over 500 students as an online tutor over the last few years. As a Lead Tutor, I have helped hundreds of students improve their confidence and grades by up to 3 levels, achieving Top Grades and Marks in their GCSE Maths and Science exams. Whether your child is currently working at grade 4 or grade 7, I can help them reach their potential. What some of my families say: I love the teaching environment created for my son. He has improved by 2 grades in maths and sciences. I would definitely recommend to help other families too. (Kemi O) Very organised & clear tutor, very good at covering the syllabus & preparing for exams. Lovely way with our daughter (16yrs) & establishes good working relationship. Helpful and clear feedback also to parents & always very ready and thorough in addressing any concerns. Would really recommend (Ms Karmeshana) Sylvia has taught me for over two months now. She has helped me massively. She creates useful powerpoints which includes information related to topics I learn in class., leading me to feel confident and secure in my science lessons. I definitely recommend Sylvia for any student out there looking to improve or further their knowledge in science. (Katy G)

I help children master the foundation concepts so that they can easily build upon their knowledge. My lessons are interleaved with questions and other assessment tasks as well as frequent end-of-unit exam questions. All this helps to assess the child’s progress and improve memory retention and learning. Practising exam papers also helps consolidate learning and dissipate children’s fears around examinations. My tutoring sessions are built largely around student’s weaknesses. I identify how each child learns best and teach them using more of that method. I also use everyday examples to explain key concepts which helps build confidence and increase the child’s love and understanding for the subject.

We couldn’t have asked for a better tutor. Our son needed a focused, tailored plan to prepare for his GCSE Science exams, and Sylvia delivered exactly that. Her ability to explain complex concepts in an easy-to-understand manner, combined with practicing exam papers, gave our son the confidence to excel. He achieved grade 7 in biology and chemistry which is fantastic considering he started with grade 4.
Halima was working at level 4 and had huge gaps in her science knowledge. After working with Sylvia since her mocks last year, she started to develop confidence in the subject. We are super pleased with her GCSE combined science results. She got a 6-6. Halima really enjoyed working with Sylvia and so she comes highly recommended.
Sylvia is very patient and experienced tutor who get the best of of her students. She motivates students to strive to achieve the best that they can.
She taught my son to achieve grade 7 in the recent GCSE chemistry.
She s very calm and love working with challenging children too.
I have known Sylvia for almost a decade, having worked with her professionally on some ventures and also developing a friendship.
I know Sylvia to be a highly experienced professional, with high level scientific training and many years of experience of both in class teaching to students of a wide range of abilities, and private tutoring.
Sylvia tailors her communication and teaching style to the specific needs of individual students, which improves the productivity of the sessions and the results for the students. I would strongly recommend her to anyone considering her services.I was looking for an extra help for my daughter in year 8 for science because she was a bit struggling. I found Sylvia in your site. Me and my daughter we are happy with the work she is doing.

Sylvia was a great tutor who taught my children GSCE science and Triple science (Biology).She was very good in explaining the content and motivating the children.
Ms. Browne is an energetic and affable tutor who has the skill to support students of a range of abilities. Her mix of professional experience, technical training and enthusiasm for the discipline make her an excellent tutor that I highly recommend.
