Elmira is an excellent tutor. Her explanations are very clear and easy to follow. Elmira values her students’ time, and every minute of a lesson with her is devoted entirely to maths, without any unnecessary chatter or small talk. She always makes every effort to ensure the material is fully understood. I would highly recommend Elmira; lessons with her are enjoyable and really help to improve school results.

Ceren

We have had an amazing experience with Elmira so far! We’ve booked a couple of sessions for my 9th grade daughter and she has helped her a lot already. I also like that she is so positive and supportive during her lessons. My daughter feels comfortable in her lessons because of the fact that she doesn’t feel judged when she doesn’t understand basic concepts or makes mistakes.

Elmira is great at teaching my child and listens to requests promptly to tailor my child’s learning needs Elmira is a friendly teacher and makes the lessons happy and fun for her

Sanaya

Elmira has been very helpful with my daughter's summer homework. She's kind and patient and covers the topics pretty fast. Strongly recommended.

Umut

At the start, she was actually really good and helpful. She explained things properly, and I felt like I was learning. But over time, it felt like she cared less. She started using her phone more during lessons and even taking calls, which was quite distracting. I also felt like she got a bit annoyed when I didn’t understand something straight away. I haven’t had lessons with her for about three months now, but that’s just my honest experience. Elmira is a very nice person. I'll give u that. I just personally think that if we are paying someone to tutor us, the phone should stay off or even at least on a low volume.

Luisa

Very good teacher. Builds on past lessons. Way better than the tutors at my school. Always prepared. Meets me at my level. Has multiple ways of explaining things.

Mr

Erika

Elmira is a dedicated and experienced tutor, who is able to present material in an understandable way while simultaneously maintaining a friendly atmosphere.

Z

From the very first lesson, I could tell that she genuinely cares about her students and their progress. She explains everything so clearly, and even complicated topics feel simple when she teaches them. One of the things I love about her is that she really listens to what you need. She adapts her lessons to match your level and learning style, so you never feel lost or overwhelmed. She’s also super patient and encouraging—no matter how many times you ask a question, she will always explain it with a smile. I’ve noticed a huge improvement since I started learning with Elmira. I feel more confident, and things that used to seem difficult now make total sense. If you’re looking for a tutor who’s professional, friendly, and truly cares about your success, you need to book a lesson with her. Thanks Elmira!

My daughter liked the lesson.

Aseel

We are extremely grateful to our wonderful math tutor! 🌟 My sons (4th and 6th grades) loved her lessons and I liked her talented approach. She explains the material in an accessible, competent way and, most importantly, according to the American system, as they explain it to them at school. Elmira is a patient teacher who understands children. It is clear that it is important to her that the children really understand, and not just pass the lesson. Thank you Elmira for your work ❤️.

Sevlana

Elmira truly is an exceptional teacher. In our search for a math tutor for my son—who needed help with both his year five math and preparation for his year seven admission test—we were fortunate to find Elmira. After just one lesson, both my son and I were genuinely impressed by her teaching style, her deep knowledge of mathematics, and her ability to connect with her students. It was heartening to see my son engaged and excited about learning. Without hesitation, we decided to continue with her. She is a wonderful teacher in math, and I feel so grateful to have someone I can trust to support my son’s education.
