Reviews from First Tutors
Imported from Zoe's First Tutors profile before the site went dark. Shown separately from Tutorperch reviews — today they don't feed this tutor's Tutorperch rating or ranking.
How we verify these
Each imported review went through admin review. The tutor proved ownership of the First Tutors profile via one of two paths:
- Photo match. The First Tutors avatar matched the tutor's identity-verified Tutorperch photo, confirmed by admin.
- Cryptographic email check. The tutor uploaded an original First Tutors email (.eml). We verified the DKIM signature against First Tutors' signing keys and cross-checked the embedded tutor ID against the claimed profile.
The review text is the original reviewer's own words, quoted as-is. We verified the tutor's ownership of the profile, not the truth of what each individual reviewer wrote.

Thank you, Zoe, for taking the time to work with my daughter and ensuring her understanding in Maths was brought up to speed for her GCSEs. Your flexibility in adapting to her needs and schedule has been greatly appreciated, and the way you built a genuine connection made learning much easier for her. Your clear explanations and supportive approach have given her the confidence she needed. Highly recommend!

Zoe is an excellent tutor for 11 plus. She is patient, kind and is able to tackle difficulties with a good sense of humour. Zoe provides feedback to me (parent) quite often and we are able to track child's performance accordingly. There is no time wasting, lessons start and finish on time and where changes are required, Zoe is always able to provider flexibility. We are thankful for Zoe's support and would thoroughly recommend.

Zoe is an amazing tutor and my daughter loves her! Very organised with files, worksheets etc all prepared ahead of the lessons. Highly intelligent (I overheard her chatting to my daughter about taking her maths GCSE at a ridiculously young age!) - but also upbeat/sociable, and just seems to have a way of explaining mathematical concepts quickly/easily, and in a way which my neurodiverse daughter understands (no mean feat!). Flexible if you can’t make or need to change a session. Great comms.

Both my sons went to Zoe for help with the GCSE Maths (set 1). They went from a predicted grade 6 to grade 8 in the actual exams, so well worth the time and investment. Zoe is a very pleasant, very down to earth tutor and made my sons feel very comfortable from day one - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her for anyone's son or daughter.

Bethan enjoys GSCE Maths with Zoe. At school she was struggling to understand. Now 3 months later with Zoe's friendly explanation, patience and encouragement Bethan feels confident to achieve the grade she needs. Zoe's great tutoring has been seen in Bethans mock exam results. She was a D grade before tutoring and now after achieving a B grade in her mock exams she's now excited that she could achieve an A grade. Great tutoring. Thank you

I've recently requested Zoe's help in teaching my son key stage 2 maths ready for his 11+ exams, only had 4 or 5 lessons so far, but can already see a difference in his confidence with Maths. He enjoys going to Zoe's she's always on time, friendly and willing to listen to what I feel he needs extra attention with. He also seems very happy going and says Zoe's fun and teaches him quicker tricks, and methods for answering different sums. Overall very happy! And would recommend Zoe on my experiences so far.

From my first tutor session I knew I had made the right choice. I am hearing impaired and Zoe made me feel relaxed and reassured me from day one I was very capable. I am really enjoying Maths tutoring and I am gaining confidence every week in completing GCSE papers, as Zoe breaks it down it a way I really understand.
