Please find a selection of comments and feedback from my wonderful clients and students below.

Niki – Queensland, Australia

“Natasha has been working with my son for nearly a year now on Specialist Maths and Maths Methods and his grades have significantly improved since she started tutoring him.

Her style of teaching works very well with him – she is patient, explains concepts well and works through examples with him until he understands.

As the parent she always keeps me informed of his progress and has worked with both myself and the school to focus on key areas.

I’m happy to recommend Natasha for any other child given our expereince to date.”  – 2025

Nick – New South Wales, Australia

“Natasha has been an excellent tutor for the time that I have had her. Not only did she better my understanding of many concepts in Maths, but she continually supported me despite growing concerns about my own ability. Whenever I doubted myself, she was always there to lift me up and make me confident about what I was doing and what it took to get there. Her excellent knowledge of many subjects has made her an incredibly effective teacher, and her interactiveness during lessons has made me both enjoy learning more and improve my work. It is also clear how much Natasha cares about not only my marks but my wellbeing, which has made me work much harder than I would with another tutor. I strongly recommend her for any student regardless of age, for both how helpful she has been with my schoolwork but also for how much she has boosted my morale and attitude towards learning in general.”  – 2025

Melinda – New South Wales, Australia

“Natasha not only helped improve my marks drastically in Year 12 HSC English, but also assisted in shifting my attitude towards the course material and widening my perspective on various thematic and contextual elements of the texts. Natasha was able to recognise my strengths in English and aid me in weaving more direct quotations from the texts in a clear, logical structure, while still maintaining my personal writing style, which elevated the quality of my essays and also the confidence I had in the subject. My performances went from below average to the upper quartile in a matter of months, which translated to my final exam where I walked out feeling assured and positive. She is always incredibly encouraging and approaches everything with a smile on her face, which did wonders for my own outlook on the content I was studying. I cannot recommend Natasha enough, I doubt you will find a more personable and knowledgeable tutor.”  – 2024

Meggan – New South Wales, Australia

“Natasha has provided tutoring in English to my children who are in Years 11 and 8. Her passion for literature, together with her patient and dedicated style, not only supported my children to achieve excellent progress, but also inspired them to think beyond just completing a school task. Natasha was able to provide detailed feedback about my children’s progress and also identified specific areas to them to focus on to improve their grades.”  – 2024

Nancy – Queensland, Australia

“As a parent, I couldn’t be more impressed with Natasha. She is incredibly amicable and approachable, and made my daughter feel comfortable and confident in her abilities in Mathematics in her final 2 years of school. 

Natasha has a talent for breaking down complex concepts into simple, understandable terms and her positive attitude kept my daughter motivated. 

It was clear that Natasha cared about my daughter’s progress. The improvement we saw in her attitude and ability in Mathematics was evident. I highly recommend Natasha.” – 2024

Emily – Queensland, Australia

“Natasha was a tremendous help in improving my skills in maths in years 11 & 12. Whilst she helped me understand the content and work through stimuli that I was unsure of, she also greatly assisted in improving my confidence in the subject. This ultimately assisted me more than any amount of homework or study could. She also gave me the tools to feel confident in my ability before my final exams.” – 2024

Miria – Tokyo, Japan

“Natasha helped me in every step of my recent job application and thanks to her, I was able to receive an offer. Even in the unique situation I was in, in which I was applying for a job in Sydney from Japan, she took this, my past experience and the nature of the job into consideration, and identified the key messages that needed to be conveyed to the recruiter. She edited my résume and cover letter, so that these key messages were emphasised and came across to the reader in a clear way. She also did a mock interview with me, which gave me a huge confidence boost and allowed me to perform my best on the day.

I would strongly recommend Natasha for anything related to careers and job applications. Not only does she provide excellent advice, she was also my personal cheerleader, providing continuous words of encouragement that allowed me to overcome my sense of self-doubt that had built up by being rejected in every previous application over the few months prior to this.” – 2024 

Nadine – New South Wales, Australia

“In a very short period of time Natasha has made a difference to both my child’s results and attitude towards learning. My daughter was struggling with maths, but now has confidence in tackling the subject at school. Natasha also has a lovely way about her; my daughter returns from her tutoring sessions feeling energised about her abilities and good about herself. I feel fortunate to have found Natasha and highly recommend her tutoring.” – 2024 

Mark – New South Wales, Australia

“Natasha worked as tutor for our son for the 11+ test in Kent, UK. Not only did she research the requirements and develop the course for him, she worked hard to make sure he remained engaged throughout, carefully choosing the right exercises to get the best from him in every lesson. With Natasha’s help, our son grew in capability and confidence, which led to him achieving a strong pass at the 11+ and a place in one of the best grammar schools in Kent.” – 2024 

Alexander – New Zealand

“Natasha provided a structured and efficient strategy and plan for revising for my Year 11 exams. The revision focussed on the critical areas for success. Natasha also helped me improve my Cambridge IGCSE grades from Grade C to Grade A. She was a great tutor and really understood how I learned best.” – 2024 

Deepa – Queensland, Australia

“Natasha has helped my son with English and History. He has come a long way since he commenced tuition with Natasha. She brings out his best performance in exams with tailored education and practice. She is committed and sincere. I recommend her services to anyone who wishes their children to excel and perform to their full potential.” – 2024 

Florence – Queensland, Australia

“We engaged with Natasha in 2022 to assist and improve our son’s English and creative writing skills. Natasha has proven to be a wonderful teacher, with excellent communication skills . 

Our son’s creative writing skills have dramatically improved and his school examination reports reflect these improvements. He has built confidence in most of his subjects in school and English is now his favourite subject . 

Natasha is very patient, extremely knowledgable and has shown experience in teaching young adults. Natasha communicates with us on a regular basis and keeps us informed of our son’s progress.

We are very happy with Natasha’s tutoring, and would not hesitate for a moment to recommend her to anyone.

Our son is very lucky and, in his opinion, “she is the best teacher in the world”.” – 2024

Bella – Grade 12, Queensland, Australia

“Natasha helped me so much over the years that I had tutoring with her during school. She helped me with my successes in Philosophy, English, Psychology, Modern History and Business. She not only helped me understand my classes, but also went into deep discussions about the meanings behind philosophical concepts, which expanded my knowledge of the subject. She kept me motivated and focused on school by making studying and learning an exciting thing as a result of all the knowledge that I gained. My experience was wonderful and I couldn’t recommend her more.” – 2023

Vanessa – Corporate Finance, Sydney, Australia

“Natasha has an incredible wealth of knowledge and is well suited to help anyone reach their goals. She assisted me with a mock interview in preparation for an important step in my career. Having the practice gave me confidence for the actual interview and the opportunity to hone in on what I had to offer the company. I was successful, got the job, and I believe having support from Natasha’s skills was great assistance in reaching my goal.

She is down to earth, encouraging and approachable; whilst also having the right balance to raise challenging questions you’ll experience in real interviews. Happy to recommend Natasha to anyone, as she offers excellent advice and guidance.” – 2023

Tanya – Grade 12, Queensland, Australia

“Natasha’s individualised and personalised approach to her students is truly admirable. She curates each lesson to the specific needs of each of her students. Natasha has helped me develop my critical thinking abilities, and immensely assisted me in being able to articulate myself in a more sophisticated and practical manner. Developing a personal connection with each of her students, Natasha has become a personal mentor of mine and a role model. She has helped me improve in academics as well as ameliorating my overall mindset towards studying and my schooling life, guiding me to learn more effectively. Her commitment to her students and the help she provides in her tutoring services are truly invaluable.” – 2023

Sushma – Queensland, Australia

“Natasha has helped my two children with their studies for the past almost three years. She has taught them English, History, Geography and writing technique as well as helped them with assignments in their other subjects and exam preparation. Both of their writing, language and English have improved significantly and they are doing exceptionally well academically, as a result of both their hard work and Natasha’s help!

I have no hesitation in recommending Natasha’s tutoring services & we wish her the best.” – 2022

Kira – Sydney, Australia

“Natasha is an amazing tutor, her ability to understand the personality and needs of her students is part of what makes her so much more than other tutors we have experienced. Her ability to find what gifts and talents her students have and guide them to really understand where and how they can become better students is very impressive. She has been tutoring my daughter for the last 2 years in both English and Maths and the results are very impressive. My daughter now has a love for subjects she once hated and has improved her overall marks by more than 20%. I am forever grateful for having found her. I give her 11/10 stars for all that she does.” – 2022

Kristie – Queensland, Australia

“Natasha has tutored our son for the past 4 years in Maths, English and HASS. She has helped him to make sense of what he has learnt throughout the day and has helped him apply this knowledge to his assessments.

Natasha has not only helped our son improve significantly academically, but has been such a positive influence in building his self confidence as a learner. We are so very blessed to have such an incredibly kind, patient and knowledgeable tutor working with our son.” – 2022

Troy – Age 12, New Zealand

“Natasha was an amazing teacher, she taught me singing and in just a few weeks I had progressed massively and could sing in tune with most songs, when previously I had really struggled to do that. As a result of Natasha’s help I’ve been successful in attaining a main character’s part in my school’s opera where in the previous two years I had failed the auditions.” – 2022
