Reviews from First Tutors

4.9 across 24 reviews

Imported from Dr Jing X.'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 son has been having lessons with Jing for 5 months and we have already seen his confidence start to grow with English. His spelling test scores have gone up and his finding it easier to remember the spellings. Jing has been a great support with his understanding of verbs, nouns etc whilst adding in work for comprehension Our son also enjoys the lessons which is a bonus. Would 100% recommend Jing to anyone looking for a tutor for their child to support with English primary school

    She was very good at explaining concepts to my sons and helped them prepare for their SATS.

    The twin boys studied with me for a few months and greatly improved, passing their SATs at "Greater Depth" scores. I am very happy with their achievement.

    My daughter began maths tuition with Jing at the start of Y5 and has been seeing her for a couple of months now. Jing's teaching style is calm and patient, yet disciplined and firm - which is what my daughter needs as she struggles with confidence, focus and speed. Jing has good knowledge of the Y5/6 syllabus and is systematically working through key topics at a pace that suits my daughter. We can see that my daughter's confidence in maths has grown under Jing’s tutoring and is already benefitting her at school. This was recently evidenced by her achieving 100% in a school maths test and moving up a set. Thank you Jing for your persistent support and encouragement.

    Jing helped our son prepare for GCSE High level Maths. She helped him cover all his knowledge gaps and to feel more confident that he is ready for the exams. She explains very well the material and is very patient teacher. Thank you Jing for all your help and for finding the right approach towards our son! :)

    I have helped Irina's son Daniel to prepare for his GCSE Maths since March. He improved a lot in his Maths skills & working speed, and gained confidence. He passed the GCSE exam and achieved grade 6. He and his family are very happy with the score, which allows him to take Physics and Core Maths in his Sixth Form school and help for his architecture study in university.

    Jing, is a very friendly lady. Since my son has been coming once a week I can see a difference in his learning, His school has also said that he has improved too.

    Jing is an excellent tutor and I have learnt a lot on maths. She is very patient and shows different ways of solving math equations and why. Easy to understand

    As a grandfather living off-shore I set up the tutoring remotely and have not had direct feedback. But Abbie tels me that her work with Ms 'Jenny' Jing is giving her more confidence in her GCSE Maths and Mandarin - the given explanations are clear and the teaching calm and considerate. I would thus recommend Ms Jing wholeheartedly as a tutor.

    Dr Jing X. replied

    After just over 2 months tuition, Abbie has successfully passed her GCSE Maths with flying colours, 2 grade higher then the school predicated score. I am very happy with her achievement.

    Miss Jing was a nice teacher but was very far from where we live .

    Dr Jing X. replied

    Anum's son enjoyed my lessons very much. Due to long distance to travel and looking after her baby, she gave up.

    Miss Jing has been teaching my 10 year old daughter maths for about 6 weeks now. She is punctual and always extremely prepared for the lesson. She has moved through the year 5 topics systematically. I can certainly see the benefits gained my daughter, especially with her mental maths.

    Jing is a very excellent, and nice teacher. She teaches my daughter one hour lesson a week and she spends exactly 60 minutes and talking and questioning, she doesn’t waste time and any lessons. Her method to explain and teaching is fantastic. Good luck and thank you

    Neda's daughter is a polite and hard-working girl. She has passed her 11+ exam and been offered a place in local King Edward VI Five Ways Grammar School. I am very happy with her achievement.

    I have had two Mandarin lessons so far with Jing at her home. She is well-prepared for each lesson and is patient when I am practicing my speaking. Sometimes the pace can be a little quick for me as I’m just starting, but I hope this will help me get better quicker. She sets some ‘homework’ which is useful to keep practicing in between. I’m really looking forward to future lessons with Jing.
