Entry exam specialist (7+, 8+, 10+, 11+, 13+, interviews) to top independent schools

Qandeel worked with both of our children for the 11+ and 7+. Also they have very different personalities, Qandeel was able to build a rapport with both. There was a significant improvement in their maths and English, even the school noticed.

We had been aiming for St. Paul's girls for our daughter. We were previously unsuccessful with older one, despite getting tutors. It seemed extremely difficult to find a professional tutor with genuine experience that not only knew the subject, but also knew how to teach. Qandeel was a professional from the start. She always turned up to lessons on time, kept record of all lessons and was able to help our daughter secure a place. I could not recommend her enough!

Our son was desperately struggling with Biology and just didn't enjoy the subject. Qandeel was not only able to help him achieve the top grade, but also fall in love with the subject as his confidence grew. We would definitely recommend her!

Qandeel was absolutely essential in helping my son gain a place at St. Paul's. We felt like we were in good hands from the start. We had worked with 3 tutors previously and had wasted a lot of time and effort in finding the right person! So glad we found her!

I contacted Qandeel for my son's 11+. He was scoring below average in maths and we had 7 weeks till the exam. Qandeel was able to design a timetable which allowed him cover all the key concepts and do 20+ past papers. I would highly recommend!

I would 100% recommend Qandeel, she's very reliable and enthusiastic about her role. Qandeel prepared my son for his 11 plus exams and my son absolutely loved her teaching style. He learned so much from her and as a result got into the school he wanted to!!

My daughter needed help with her Maths GCSE exams. Qandeel was highly organised and covered all the topics required for the exams. They worked on exam technique quite a lot. Qandeel was helpful and patient in her approach to tutoring my daughter as she went out of her way to cater the subject to her interests and engage her in areas that she would find exciting.
Thank you Qandeel!

Qandeel prepared my younger brother for his 11+ exams. He was especially weak in English and was working at a low grade when she started working with him but over the course of time they spent together, he was able to achieve much better scores in his practice examinations. We are very appreciate of all the time and effort Qandeel put in to helping him achieve his results. I was thoroughly impressed with the commitment Qandeel put in when preparing him for his many exams as she went above and beyond what we expected and would be willing to provide extra support whenever required. Qandeel also built his confidence and enjoyment of the subjects and as a result, he was much happier in his school life. I would highly recommend Qandeel, she was a pleasure!

Qandeel has been helping my son Jacob to gets through his A-Levels in chemistry.
Not only was he able to get an A in his final exam, but he also became interested in chemistry, even speaking about it at the dinner table.
Her kindness and her interest in Jacob's well-being were also very impressive.

Qandeel is an amazing teacher who is very patient, understanding and professional. She make sure to plan every lesson with clear goals. I could not have passed my Bachelor exams without her help.

Extremely patient and personable tutor who always takes the time to bring new concepts to life!
I would particularly recommend for those people who are struggling with complex ideas and need someone to help them progress quickly.

Qandeel taught me English language when I moved to the UK from India. The main issues I had were that my grammar was poor, and I had a very difficult time making myself understood by third parties due to my strong accent.

Qandeel is able to teach maths in a simple, methodical manner aided by examples and practice questions making it easy for the children to understand and apply. She is patient, encouraging and works well with children of varying personalities and abilities.

I am really happy with how Qandeel worked with my 7 year old daughter. She was always punctual and reliable. Not only did she prepare my daughter for the exam, from the first lesson she incorporated interview skills like eye contact, team work etc. I would be very happy to recommend and provide written references.

Qandeel worked with my twins for over a year to help them with their 11+ exam of St. Paul's and Westminster as well as a few other schools. We had recently become aware that the boys were quite behind, despite attending a reputable private school. From the first lesson, Qandeel was able to build a rapport with them. They looked forward to the lessons. We saw a great improvement in their work, especially with their mental maths. She was able to teach them methods and tricks to answer questions quickly. Overall, I am very happy and hoping she will be able to work with my 7 year old in a year.

I have known Qandeel many years as a tutor and can vouch for her incredible teaching standards. She genuinely cares about her students, is knowledgeable about her subjects and extremely well organised and efficient. I would be more than happy to recommend her.

Qandeel is a great tutor who has been teaching for over 10 years. She is enthusiastic about her subjects as well as being knowledgeable and patient. I would highly recommend her.

Ms Qandeel Zafar was the best and most memorable tutor I've had. She clearly explained the subject's concepts with enthusiasm, fun energy and a sense of humour. She built my confidence and interest in Biology, which motivated me to work hard during and outside of our lessons. I'm grateful for all of her efforts!

Qandeel has a certain quality about her that she employs to bring even stubborn students, such as my son, onside. I cannot commend her enough, she is everything you want in a tutor: professional, diligent and patient.

Qandeel has helped a number of our struggling students with their 11+ preparation with great results. She recommended the right books and covered math, english, verbal and non-verbal reasoning. She dealt with some of our most problematic and struggling students, and encouraged them with kindness and patience. It would be an honour for me to recommend her anyone.

Qandeel tutored my 17 year old daughter in Maths for her entrance exams to University.
The sessions went smoothly. Qandeel was always punctual, reliable and provided a lot of support for any questions my daughter had outside tutoring hours.
I would highly recommend Qandeel as she has a wide knowledge in the subject, is very helpful and supportive

My family and i hired Qandeel to tutor my younger brother in science over the summer for his entrance exam to a new school.
Qandeel is very knowledgeable, reliable and passionate about tutoring.

My Brother enjoyed his lessons with her, i would definitely recommend her for anyone who's looking to improve science skills.

I used Qandeel to teach me Biology which I really struggle with. You could tell she was genuinely passionate about teaching and working with other people. She had a flexible approach to teaching which really helped me as I can get bored easily, and most importantly she made sure she was always available when I needed extra lessons, or just general help. I would recommend her to all.

Qandeel taught me Biology and chemistry A'Level. I was very happy with her teaching as she helped me understand the topics I struggled with and devised revision plans/strategies, all of which helped to improve my grade from a C to A. Furthermore, she helped me prepare for Dentistry interviews which I have been successful at as I am currently studying Dentistry at University of Liverpool.

When I arrived to England in 2009, my English was very archaic. I was unable to express myself properly, I was hesitating and I made many grammatical mistakes.
Qandeel was able to help me with English grammar, more more importantly bring me the confidence I needed to speak comfortably without being ashamed of making mistakes.
