I am very happy to provide a reference for my son’s tutor - Amina Khatib, who came highly recommended. She has shown dedication and innovation in teaching our son since we recently relocated from South Korea. Amina has been a true asset to our son’s education and has demonstrated a high level of professionalism and expertise in her work.

Amina has been successful in supporting our son’s transition into the UK’s educational system and appears to show a particular talent when working with students who have English as their second language. She has employed a variety of appropriate resources and good practices to enable our son to overcome barriers to language and familiarise him with the culture and national curriculum. He looks forward to her lessons which are engaging.

One of Amina’s greatest strengths is her ability to deliver traditional face-to-face teaching with online delivery. This approach has proven to be especially effective for my son and other overseas students who are dealing with the added stress of relocation and culture shock. By providing online resources and appropriate textbooks and practice workbooks, Amina has made learning more accessible and engaging for my son and no doubt other students.

As a self-employed private Tutor, she has developed a good system of administration which makes it quick and easy to understand and communicate our needs to her and her pricing structure is fair and affordable.

Overall, I can confidently recommend Amina Khatib as an outstanding tutor who demonstrates a deep commitment to helping overseas students from South Korea succeed.

We were introduced to Amina by a friend when we were looking for a tutor who could teach English to our son. We were preparing 7+ exams at the time, with top academic schools such as Westminster, St Paul's and King's College in mind. We thought a tutor would be helpful as English was our son's second language and he was a little behind compared to his peers in writing and grammar especially.

Amina taught our son for about a year (2022-2023) and what impressed us the most was how organised she was. After each lesson, Amina produced a lesson log to keep track of what topics our son has been covering and what the homework would be for the next lesson.

Apart from the lesson logs, Amina would always provide verbal feedback straight after each lesson and gave us the chance to ask questions and express any concerns regarding our son's progress.
We also liked the way Amina handled our son. At the end of the day, our son was only a 5/6-year old boy and it wouldn't have been easy get him to sit down and work. But it was clear to see that Amina was very experienced in dealing with young children as she was patient but also firm at right times.

Amina was always on time for the lessons and never cancelled a scheduled lesson throughout the 1-year period she taught our son. We feel this kind routine and continuity helped with our son's progress and from the parents' perspective, made scheduling so much easier.

Our son's progress was steady and this was what we wanted and expected as we didn't get Amina in in the last minute just before the exams to shoot up our son's marks. We wanted Our son to improve his English in general and gradually build up towards the exams and this is exactly what we had with Amina.

All of our efforts resulted in us accepting an offer from St Paul's Junior for our son so we are extremely satisfied with the outcome and we would recommend Amina to other students who are looking for a tutor without any hesitation. 

My daughter has been tutored by Amina for a year and I have seen the improvements in her confidence, her maths reasoning and enthusiasm towards maths.
My daughter has exclusively done online classes and Amina has delivered the classes employing resources such as the MS OneNote and Whiteboard, desk scanner and Bitpaper to support the learning online.
Amina is a very professional and experienced teacher and I like that, with a good mix of online resources and books to deliver the class and then for the homework.
I am impressed by her teaching methodology to deliver difficult concepts in an easy and patient way together with her commitment. I highly recommend her, and I am happy to have her as my daughter's tutor.

3. ‘… Our son (Yr 10) is now able to keep up with his school maths to a large extent and it gives him reassurance that he can discuss anything he struggles with, with Ibrahim. His maths was going downhill fast. Now it’s improved greatly and is back on track’.
