I can confirm that my daughter was tutored by yourself during the October half term, Christmas holidays, February half term and the Easter Holiday’s for maths and combined science for GCSE..

She achieved a 7 in maths. As she was doing combined science she got a 7 in one and a 6 in the other.

We as parents were totally overjoyed . This was a huge achievement for our daughter. Thanks to your help Lathi the school had noticed a huge improvement in her attitude, confidence, work ethic and also a huge improvement in her results.

Thank you so much for everything you have done for Georgina.

After a disappointing mocks results and four months after starting with Lathi, my son was focused, driven, effusing confidence and looking forward to his final exams!

The results speak for themselves, A* in all subjects tutored.

Apart from the amazing results, the extras that come with Lathi are God sent. She engages her pupils on a variety of topics encouraging them to be more proactively engaged and in charge of their learning and self.
A holistic approach that saw my son thrive, and confidently strive for excellence.

Lathi is a perceptive and friendly tutor. She took care to understand my son’s particular needs and progressed with a tutoring programme ideally suited to him. She used wit & sensitivity in her tutorials which allowed Rory to open up about what he found difficult.
I would highly recommend Lathi.

Maths GCSE

I cannot overstate the impact Lathi’s tuition had on my daughters knowledge and understanding of her subjects.

The personalised teaching methods Lathi introduced, to simplify areas of difficulty for Alexandra was extraordinary.

Lathi attacked every tutoring session with enthusiasm, was firm but fun, ultimately instilling Alexandra with a very through understanding of the “basics” of Maths, English and Science. Only moving on, when she was convinced Alexandra was 100% secure in the methods required to deliver the best marks in each subject.

Lathi’s emotional connection with Alexandra, combined with her understanding of the subjects she’s tutoring, as well as her coaching methods to get the best from our daughter, meant Alexandra was enthusiastic about her sessions and enjoyed overcoming problems, even completing the set homework with little complaint.

I cannot recommend Lathi highly enough, and so would Alexandra!

Ms Obonyo

Is a fantastic teacher. She was extremely patient and diligent with my thirteen year old daughter. My daughter is not good at concentrating and had little confidence in her mathematical ability. Ms Obonyo was absolutely brilliant, and even my daughter who was not keen on the idea of being taught maths at all, ended up really enjoying learning with Ms Obonyo. Ms Obonyo is also psychologically minded so understands the importance of a pupil gaining confidence and working through problems at an appropriate pace. I have no hesitation in recommending her for any age group. She is also a very pleasant and nice person to have around and I always enjoyed seeing her in our home.

Lathi is a very committed and capable tutor, who really focuses on the individual pupil, tailoring her approach to the pupil's specific learning profile. She starts by assessing the pupil in a structured and effective way which means that she identifies gaps in their knowledge and then schedules the tutoring to address these gaps, in a way that does not feel overwhelming to the pupil. As importantly, Lathi acts as a role model and really cares for her pupils ensuring that they feel encouraged and motivated. I strongly recommend her.

Lathi tutored my daughter in maths in the summer and October half-term leading up to her 11+ exams. She was fantastic at filling a few gaps in my daughter's understanding, and made a huge difference to her confidence, really taking time to understand how my daughter was feeling, what made her tick and to build a lovely relationship with her. I recommend her extremely highly.

This December Lathi taught me A-Level chemistry in preparation for a Cambridge interview. She was very kind and helpful: I genuinely felt that she wanted me to do well and this in turn motivated me further to work when she wasn't here. I also very much appreciate when she could come. Dedicating hours to me on both Saturday and Sunday when I'm sure most people would rather do anything but be at work was amazing of her.

As for the teaching there isn't really much to say really! Lathi was a fantastic teacher, explaining things clearly and concisely, but, most importantly, in a friendly, relaxed and funny way. Within 5 minutes of first meeting her, and never really having had any serious daily tutoring before, I already felt completely at ease!

My daughter enjoyed her sessions with Lathi. They covered mainly maths but also bits of science and comprehensions. Lathi was able to work out my daughters learning style and adapt to that. She was a very effective tutor that was committed to her student.

Lathi was engaged to support a Year 11 student with entrance to Cheltenham Ladies College and Headington. In addition she supported a Year 8 student for the same schools.
Lessons were in person and via Skype. She was well prepared and researched the needs of the girls prior to thelessons taking place. Gave feedback during the week she taught them and followed up after the lessons had finished.
The girls enjoyed her lessons and found it easy to work with her.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Lathi as a tutor. She is very versatile and totally professional.

I would like to thank, Lathi, so much for her help with Jai. Lathi's amazing work with Jai resulted in an A* for his IGCSE English Literature! When Lathi started with us Jai was barely scrapping C/D in his school assessments. Lathi's holistic approach along with her patient and dedicated work with him definitely paid off.

Initially we were a bit skeptical about how "Skype" lessons would go, but Jai founf that it worked very well. lathi was very organised, quick with feedback and e-mailed him detailed marking of his essays. In particular Jai found that Lathi, helped him tremendously with learning the fundamentals of writing, comprehension, essay structure, planning and the fundamentals of writing and vocabulary usage. I would definitely recommend Lathi for English tuition you ultimately want results.

As a project leader and business developer in the automotive industry, I would keenly like to extend a sincere thank you to Lathi.

Her attentiveness and ability to grasp who I am, allowed her to invest just the right amount of energy while pushing me out of my comfort zone. Furthermore, she persists until the knowledge she shares is fully absorbed and transformed into my very own skills.

Her succinct focus and infinite source of energy ensured a lasting improvement in my communication skills. Even my mother, the person who has followed my progress the closest is mighty impressed with the level I have finally attained.

Lathi and I worked together in finalising my, to this day most important academic document, my dissertation. She made my shortcomings apparent to me, in the humblest and most pedagogical manner. She explained the logic in a way that made it click in my head - I finally got it!

Thanks to her, that dissertation awarded me a First Class and secured a job at the firm I analysed for the dissertation."

At my first meeting at Lionheart Education, who introduced me to Lathi, everyone there had the same thing to say; if you want to get an A in maths you need Lathi. Over the 6 months she taught me, Lathi helped me enjoy maths again and helped me believe that I was not only capable of attaining an A grade, but I should be looking to achieve more. She understood very quickly how I needed to be taught and catered my tutoring to that style. Lathi lives and breathes for results day, even describes it as her Christmas, and goes above and beyond in every respect for her students. As much as I wanted to do well for myself, by the end of the summer I was desperate to get at least an A so that the amount of time and effort Lathi and I put in would be reflected by my grade. As a result of both of our hard work I am now studying Banking and Finance at Cardiff University (my first choice uni) and I couldn't have done it without her. I have no reservations in highly recommending Lathi as she is by far the most committed tutor I have met or worked with.

I sat AS Maths a year early, and achieved an A grade, and I would attribute all of this to Lathi. She made the jump from GCSE to A Level as smooth as possible, even through the process of applying to Sixth Form and sitting 8 other GCSE subjects. She expects a lot from you as her student, but gives just as much in return. She goes through topics (including potential problem areas) meticulously during sessions, and sets a great deal of work after, in order to make sure that the understanding is thorough. Lathi also addresses pastoral needs, helping to create study timetables and helping with revision technique from the very beginning. She recognises that to be successful in study, you need to start early and be meticulous, and in doing so taught me a stronger work ethic and gave me confidence in my ability to achieve.

Lathi coached my son Charlie in the run up to his IGCSE’s, predominantly in Chemistry and also to a lesser extent in Physics and Biology.
We only met Lathi in the Easter holidays so it was a very 11th hour intervention and Charlie’s confidence was at a very low ebb. Lathi has great natural presence and her calm, firm and re-assuring approach immediately had an impact on Charlie in terms of what was possible and encouraged a strong work ethic in him. He had considerable, fundamental technical gaps that Lathi quickly identified and proceeded to address from the bottom up so that he began to believe that he could do Chemistry after all.
Charlie and Lathi worked very well together and she certainly encouraged the best out of him at a time when he was ready to give up. They worked one-on –one for probably only twenty hours in total spread over a month but the impact was dramatic.

It is rare in life that one gets to encounter a Teacher like Lathi making it a privilege to be tutored by Lathi. They say you can't teach anything, only make people think. This is the Lathi difference.

Lathi goes the extra mile, she analyses the current state, gives a clear vision of the future state and organises a focused plan with clear milestones and achievements to build knowledge and address gaps. However, she manages to do all of this because she inspires, she learns the person to make the brain think, tailoring every class with the focus on that achievement.

As a great teacher and like any Olympic level coach will say you need to address the psychology to get results. With Lathi one is getting a teacher, a psychologist, a mentor and a role model all in one go. Lathi addresses any barriers that are preventing someone from giving their best and unlocks potential through a holistic approach.

We gave her our daughter and she gave us back a scholar, inspiring her along the way and ensuring she was well prepared to get to the goal. Not only did our daughter get a confirmed place at Cheltenham Ladies College (when many said it to be impossible) and Downe House she was also invited for two Academic scholarships. If you are into results these are guaranteed and she will be upfront about what is possible. However, what we actually achieved was much more than results. It was a change in attitude, a learning method that stays for life and an inspirational role model that I am sure our daughter will forever be fond of in years to come.

Lathi has been the tutor for my 16 year old son for the past 2 years, in the first year of tutoring she took him from a grade C in mathematics to a grade A in maths GCSE, in no less than five months.
She is highly specialized at Mathematics and the Sciences, as she has a one-to-one tutoring regime with her student, allowing my son to gain good grades at GCSE Science and as I have said so above GCSE Maths. She gave my family the opportunity to breath.
When we first met her, she laid out to us her rigorous method of tutoring and explained that to achieve good grades she would need to assess my son, so that she could then make decisions and use her secure knowledge to help my son. This was done through paying attention to his individual needs.
She went above and beyond by teaching my son exam techniques and ways in which he can better use his time in exams building up his confidence and allowing him to achieve overall success.
We highly recommend her because we know that not many teachers/tutors of this caliber exist, she is a magnificent, hard working person.
Yours Sincerely
Mrs A.Pereira

Lathi was in my employ from June 2013 to March 2013. She tutored my son Hakim, for ten common entrance exams for independent school; seven schools in London and three outside London. Lathi did really fantastic job with Hakim and pushed him to achieve high marks with Mathematics, English and Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning.

She was very conscientious and kept in touch after tuition had stopped, to find out the results of the exams. Hakim has taken up a place at The Oratory Reading with a full scholarship which he received on merit. This would not have been possible without Lathi’s help and persistence and am extremely grateful to her.
