Imported from Dr Pamela'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.

    My daughter has been attending sessions with Pamela in order prepare for her GCSE biology and chemistry exams this year. Her confidence prior to starting was fairly low, however following even her first session, her outlook on the subjects became instantly more positive and proactive. Pamela's approach instantly put her at ease and made her feel that there is no such thing as a silly question and that she could ask questions without fear of appearing silly. Pamela's method of teaching suits my daughter and she is always keen to attend sessions. We feel fortunate to have found Pamela.

    Fantastic tutor who caters each session around me and my needs (dyslexia), making me feel comfortable and confident in my abilities. She has a fantastic ability to explain things clearly and to my level of understanding.

    Thank you very much for your support. You gave Rachael that extra bit of confidence she needed to raise her grade and achieve her ambition of going to university to study Marine Biology. I would highly recommend you.

    My daughter has found Pam's teaching style extremely effective, enabling her to understand complex aspects of GCSE Chemistry she has not been able to grasp previously, raising her self confidence as well as her marks! Pam is punctual, organised, efficient, prepares for lessons and already in a short space of time achieving great results with my daughter. Thank you.
